In Response To: Re: Why do people like fog? (Forrest of B.org)

: Chris, is there some way to calculate a fog value for a specified visibility?
: Like, I want a fog of such thickness that it becomes solid after X world
: units... Would be very handy.

I'm not sure, but I think the density parameter is the number of world units it takes before the fog becomes solid. You'll have to try this yourself, however. The only places I've used more than a thin haze of fog is underwater / in liquids.

: Also, I'm curious: how do fogs mix with landscape textures, like for outdoor
: environments? Can you see the landscape? Is it depending on distance to
: the landscaped surface, i.e. the fog stops at the imaginary wall?

You can let the landscape have the same color as the fog (iow you won't see the landscape texture at all), or you can let the landscape not be affected by fog. In the latter case, you have to have fog haze in the landscape texture itself or it'll look really strange. RTCW did not do this and it looked, well, odd.
