Colour & Distance
Adding fog to your map is very simple, it only requires a small script to be done. We will presume you have a map ready for fog to be added & a .gsc file to edit.
First we need to work out the colour of the fog we want. Open the microsoft paint program (normally located in start/programs/accessories/)
Once open, click on colors/edit colors...
Now click on define custom colors & it will open a color selection pannel.
Use this to select a color that will be the same as your fog in game, I have chosen a rather odd green. Notice that in the bottom right my RGB Values have been set to 5/140/60. This is basically how much of each primary color is needed to make my green.
Now we have to re-calculate our color so that CoD can use it. CoD uses a decimal value for RGB so 100% is 1.00 & 50% is 0.50 - to re-calculate our values we need to indivudually divide them by 255 (the max amount of color possible).
Open microsoft calculator (normally located in start/programs/accessories/) & enter your red value. in this case "5". now hit the "/" key to divide, enter "255" & hit "=". From the end value take the first 3 numbers & ntoe them down.
The value we now have should be 0.01 - repeat this for the green & blue values until you have all 3 values written down. In this case 0.01 0.54 0.23.
Now open your .gsc script file & enter the following script:
setCullFog (start distance, end distance, R, G, B, Transparency);
so for example my green fog, starting from where the player stands & ending at 1024 units away with no transparency would look roughly like this:
Now test your map & look at your (hopefully not oddly coloured) fog
