[MOD]No Fog/View Distance (24/10/08)

[fud]

What of the fog? I guess that the view distance (which has been highlighted) has a different offset to the fog. Which is the fog?

0;0;0.000000;0.000000;0.000000;0;0;fogblue;1;1;1;25;50;10;5;5;0;0;0;14;0;0;0;0;3000000;4000000;100;120;120;120;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;SS_BG_10;

Offset in red is the value for the fog. 0 is none, the higher the number, the "thicker" it is.

How do I go about simply removing the fog/nebula, but keeping the normal viewing distances?

I need this to improve my performances, but I am not interested into having a 100km or 1000km viewrange.

Cheers.

It seems like you have been playing around quite much with the Tbackgrounds. Im planning to do some work on that myself, and adjusting the fog (offest 19) is very useful. But I wonder if you know what the other numbers do?

Same here, is it possible?

The red is fog as fud indicates and the green area I highlighted seems to be view range.

Here's an original Tbackgrounds with view distance and fog as normal, just change what fud has marked in red in all the lines to 0 and you should be good.

In case you wanted an actual mod I made an updated one from X3tc v2.5.

No fog, distance untouched

Just tried this no fog and it works. So that's what omicron lyrae looks like ?!?! Awesome.
Only checked a couple sectors real quick, so far so good. Including cardinals domain.
THANK YOU for doing this.

I think this is my first post as well on the XU forums.

Im using ATI drivers on Mobility Radeon HD 2400 and in sectors with fog, my fps is decreasing by 15!

Big thanks dude!

[Sable Keech]

This is my first (and last ) X game, and the fog was REALLY annoying and I felt a bit gutted - why have such a great engine and the cover it in fog??

Thank you fud et al - looks sooooo much better!

Xtended for TC seems to have heavy use of invisible fog, with most sectors I've seen (20ish) having a view distance of no more than 60km (a few having 100ish). Quite detrimental to the game experience IMO... So seeing as this mod is my #1 favourite for regular tc, how hard would it be to make a similar mod for xtc?

I made one some weeks ago but it slipped by pretty much unnoticed since noone commented.

Excellent

I tried looking at fud's file, to see if how it worked was self-evident enough for me to have a go (it wasn't ), and noticed names of sectors in there, and then again other names I didn't recognize. I see the same in your file. Out of curiosity, does it refer to placeholder sectors that might have different names ingame, or am I misunderstanding completely?

[Gripen]

The names in the file are names of sector "themes", and no actual sectors as ive understood it, could be wrong though.

is this working in x3 reunion?..and do I need a new start?,,thanks
