Add CONTENTS_ATMOSPHERIC for misc_dust, misc_fog, etc. #659

Closed jdolan closed 2 years ago

jdolan commented 2 years ago

It is problematic for misc_fog to use CONTENTS_MIST, as that will often eat other CONTENTS_MIST brushes like decals and foliage. Luckily, it shouldn't be too difficult to add CONTENTS_FOG, and adjust LAST_VISIBLE_CONTENTS to CONTENTS_FOG.

Remember to edit Radiant and TrenchBroom project files for this change.

VISIBLE contents are for things that actually appear in-game and have surfaces. Special brushes (such as Q2's func_areaportal which have their own contents type that isn't in the visible list) shouldn't be in there. (The main exception of course is SOLID | CLIP, but CLIP is kind of a special hint that just means not to generate visible surfaces but still be in the brush list and collidable)

Good call @Paril. This was surprisingly easy. Rebaked Gehenna to confirm the new type is working correctly.
