Well if someone's cheating without fog what difference does it make if I tried forcing no fog on them? Same result either way or am I misunderstanding something here?

Farplane 0 vs farplane 10000+. Does it really look any different?

"That one doesn't look like it's all the way off, try $world farplane 0 instead of 10000 or whatever it is for that pic."

What do you mean by "far off"?

Pardon my ignorance but I ask you because you seem to know more about it.

As far as doing similar in Dogtagz...show me a modder who hasn't ripped another off....or at least borrowed a few lines of code.... heh heh.
Go nuts man.

TO THE READER::::

I might try it Dogmeat's way and call it version 2..lol... in the meantime version one is ready (with two versions...lol).

A couple people asked me in this thread how the lack of fog affected FPS performance. Well it's kind of funny really. On two maps (the hunt & the bridge/crossroads) I lost between 2-3 FPS....not that it matters much. On two other maps I gained FPS without the fog. On Destroyed Village I gained 1 FPS (in exact same spot/orientation on map) and on Remagen (only very light fog) I gained 2 FPS by eliminating it. (same spot/orientation) Overall you could say the performance issues are negligible.

See for yourself..... WARNING BIG JPEG's....you might want broadband. ;)

FPS is shown in these pictures for the viewer to decide the merits of this mod.

The mod comes in TWO VERSIONS. Since this mod and Dogmeat's map-fix mod both work off the same script file one mod would overrule the other. (whichever has the higher alphabetical name) So I made two versions. One WITH the Dogmeat map fixes built in. (includes ALL credits and files from the original... i borrow but I don't steal.) The other just has no fog WITHOUT any map fixes. (you CANNOT use dogmeat's map fix (stand alone version) and my mod together. You must use the combined mod to have both features working.

They can be downloaded from:

OR

Oh.. one last thing. Take notice how much vivid color looks now. Even up close. (bridge pic a good example)

Idea's feedback and criticism are appreciated.
