Adding fog? Hmmm ... yes, that would look great in many places It would be a kin to weather-like effects ... but it might slow your frame rate to a crawl, depending on how you created the fog (vertex, emulation, etc.) Let's see, where in the game are there such things 'like' fog 'present'? In certain death animations of bosses, there are fog like effects ... and Mephisto has a fog like aura about him ... but I don't know if you could use those to create a weather-like fog ... what do you think, Gorothon?

Sorry, bro ... I wouldn't know (yet) ... but the Mephisto like fog would probably be your best bet, since it appears in actual game play

No, bro, it hasn't died It's a good idea that I think may be possible ... an if we figure it out it will add a whole new look to the game I'm going to look into it further, to see if it can be done

There's fog clouds in the Panemonium Fortress. Maybe these are objects in the Ds1?

What is the entry for it? I don't have time to look now(at school currently). But I can maybe put it in since I know how to use the level editor.

Hmmm ... that's right, the 'fog' near the Pandemonium Fortess as you decend the stairway I'll look into that too, Gorothon ... I'm sure we can get some fog into other places in the game, since it does exist in actual game play ... to what extent in which we could make it look 'really cool' hmmm ... now that's the trick

I opened fortress.ds1 with the Ds1 editor and went to the OBJECT (Type 2) of Act 4; in there, there are tho entries that are fog related: fog - flat and fog - vertical.

Adding fog with isilweo's editor is like adding any other object with the editor.

Apocalypse, what do you think? Would it be practical to use that fog in other locations of the game?

This is in the editor readme.txt:

"you can put npc/monster in another act but you can't put object from another act (ie. you can put duriel in act4 but you can't put Cain's Gibbet to act4)"

Does this mean the fog (an act 4 object) can't be placed in other acts, just act 4??
