Fog and higher farclip #15

Closed Haaxor1689 closed 1 year ago

Haaxor1689 commented 1 year ago

Any values of farclip above around 1500 result in seemingly the same result since fog doesn't extend any further than that no matter how high the farclip is. Is there an option that controls fog distance?

brndd commented 1 year ago

Not in the patcher, no. In all likelihood it would be possible to increase it further than 1500 if the right offset were found.

For what it's worth, I had a quick peek at this some months ago and forgot to comment here, but I think fog distance values are based on the various weather conditions and zone atmospheres, and as such aren't really practical to patch like this (excepting maybe a patch that disables fog altogether, but that wouldn't really look good). I'm closing this as out of scope for this project.

thanks for letting me know either way :)
