Fog in Quake 4

Post by **o'dium** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 4:29 pm

I cant remember for the life of me how to make fog appear thicker/thinner... I could of sword it was a simple material change but I cant find it lol. I know how to do in our own PPL engine very esily, but in Q4, I'm stumped

Anybody have any ideas then on how to change fog density?

Select your fog light, add keyval shaderparm3 [maxFogDistance].

I dont think I follow?

lights/odctf1_worldfog
{
fogLight // tell the engine it is fog and not a light
noShadows
{
map _fog // the internal fog image
colored // take rgba from entity shaderparms
shaderparm3 [512]
zeroClamp
}
}

A key/value pair on the entity itself, not in the material
