Fog returns to default when under a roof

[ItsTheKais]

The view from right in front of a building:

If I take a step back so I'm under the overhanging roof:

Going in and out of buildings frequently makes the atmosphere a little bit spasmodic, with the fog zooming out and back in and cycling between blue and brown over and over again.

Yes. Right now I do not have a good solution. When you are inside a building you are actually in the "Inside" fake biome that does not have dust, fog, etc. attached to it. What you are experiencing is the fade in/out when transitioning biomes. The reason for the "Inside" biome is so when a player builds a structure, or is in a structure, in a desert biome the fog shouldn't be present on the inside.

(Inside is defined as having 50%+ blocks above the players head in an area. Your overhang plus the buiilding behind you matches the 50% requirement.)

I changed how things work with "inside". As a result:

• No more Inside biome.
• When calculating fog effects a ceiling coverage ratio is generated. This ratio determines a distance offset for the fog. The higher the ratio, the more distant the fog line starts.
• Biome sounds will no longer play when a player is considered "inside" (ceiling coverage of about 50%). This is hard coded.

So, how does this work. When 100% covered by blocks the fog line starts 15 blocks further away. This gets the fog out of the structure, which is what I am wanting. If standing outside under the eave of the building coverage is roughly 50% meaning the fog line is pushed out 7 blocks (i.e. it gets foggier). 0% ceiling coverage means normal fog effect.

This change will be in the next BETA.

EDIT: Should also point out that if you look out a window in a structure the fog will be there preserving the ambiance. It's just rendered a little bit further away.
