Graphical Issue : IV

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 7:56 am

My game looks pretty good although i have some questions,

For one im not sure if my current video settings are correct for the best looking game, I'm mostly concerned with the view distance and lighting settings.

Also i would like to know if theres a way to get rid of the ugly gray distant objects seen in this screenshot http://www.flickr.com/photos/58887748@N08/5830626010/in/photostream/#/photos/58887748@N08/5830626010/in/photostream/lightbox/

Its only with this light fog/overcast weather condition from All Natural that i notice such ugliness

For the past 5 hours ive been playing the game its always been this same crappy weather condition so i havent been able to take any pictures with other weather's active.

You are looking at this game's fog shader. It svcks.

You'll have to wait until OBGEv3 comes out to deal with it.

If your problem is the weather seems stuck (as in you've been playing for several game days without the weather ever changing), reset All Natural by forcing the weather to clear, saving and quitting, clean-saving with AN off, and re-enabling it to reset the weather control script.

Also consider filing a bug report to the AN team with whatever data they ask for so they can track down where in the script your weather got stuck.

Alright that puts my mind at ease as I only worry about something if it is a factor that can be altered or controlled.

Im still looking for recommendations when it comes to the vanilla video settings.....

As for the fog shader perhaps there is an ini setting I can set so that the fog is denser whenever there is fog as to block out the crappy lod montains.

This does get me excited for OBGE v3

Sorry, but there are no options to modify how the vanilla shaders work. If there was, this would be the first thing I would do.

I despise that fog as much as you do, trust me.
