Uh..a slight prob...

Xirv0 · Dec 22, 2000

Tsup all!
I..uhh..Kinda got a problem.. I no longer have a fog-zone after re-installing UT... (in case that didnt make any sense, I can no longer select or use fog!) anyone have any ideas, as to how I may get it back?!
thanks!!

quitgrin1 · Dec 22, 2000

Maybe just try to reinstall UT again. That should do the trick most times. Or check out the Advanced Options menu below rendering (in which ever mode you are) and check the ones who disable FOG for best performance (and recheck them)

Maybe the first time you played UT after the last re-install configured the game to play without fog (for best performance).

That´s it. i hope that solves your problem.

Start a game. Fire up the console. Type in Preferences (or Properties if it didn1t work

)

You will see the adv.setting menu. Select your rendering device. Turn on Volumetric lights.

(That's fog.)

Xirv0 · Dec 23, 2000

er..I tried all that stuff already...even before you suggested them..

The fog still doesnt work ( in the editor---> cant put fog zones in) but fog still works in the game.....

ChrisToth.hu · Dec 24, 2000

Are U sure that you are using the correct rendering device?

ChrisToth.hu · Dec 24, 2000

If everything is correct in the setup then you could have hardware related problems. Maybe the engine has got some problem with your video card...BUT IT'S VERY unlikely. There must be something fishy in your setup. You could have missed some kind of setting...it happens to all of us all the time I guess

Does this problem appear in all of the levels?
If not then list some of the messy levels.

Xirv0 · Dec 26, 2000

ok, I dont know if you guys are understanding the prob, here....thanks for all the ideas, BUT...
Where Im havin this problem is within the Editor. I cannot select, or even find the fogZone property....
hopefully that cleared things up a bit....
thanks, BaelWolF

I think this is the answer to your prob:

-Add a zoneinfo actor to your level and a couple of lights in the place you want to see fog.

Open uo the ZoneInfo property window and do the following:
Under the ZoneInfo line, look for the line that says:
"bFogZone" and turn that to TRUE (the default is false).

Now select the lights you have placed and open up their properties. Under "Lightning" (I think that´s how is called), modificate the "VolumeBrightness", "Volume Fog" and "Volume Radius" as your map needs to. Procure to keep your "VolumeFog" number high and the "VolumeRadius" properties low, so you´ll be able to see your fog.

Now, if your problem is that you cant see the "bFogZone" property (in the ZoneInfo property menu), which is very unlikely, I suggest making a complete re-install of UT, and install the latest patch (v436). That´s it. I hope that answer helped you.

What version of UT are you using? Which version of the editor are you using?

Xirv0 · Dec 28, 2000

well... Im using UT v.436, with UEd2(with latest patch) tried total reinstall but, it still does not appear on my ZoneInfo browser....oh, well...BUT! it did work, with using the lights....
thanks for the help!

ARGH! So this is your problem.

There isn't a zone called FOGZONE!
Fog can be done by volumetric lights!
Like Quitgrin said.

quitgrin1 · Dec 30, 2000

YEAH!!!

I suspected you thought there was a fogzone, but I didn´t tell you that. Wanted to see if you could find out for yourself!

Luminuis · Dec 30, 2000

I have v.400 and i have an area called fog somewhere in mine...dunno where.

ChrisToth.hu · Dec 30, 2000

???

Isn't that a property of the Zoneinfo? I think so.

Luminuis · Dec 30, 2000

errrr.......I think so

i think so..................... I wouldn't know till I looked, I'm so good at Ued but don't ask me how to use it for stuff liek that *does typically all indoor maps* though if someone would inform me on the proper way to make a GOOD outdoor map I would be overjoyed...

ChrisToth.hu · Dec 30, 2000

??? and big ?s

I'm sitting here and watchin that damn UEd and can't see any FogZones...

Maybe not in my version...436

Wait. I'll unpack that UEd 1.0 and check...

ChrisToth.hu · Dec 30, 2000

I'll be damned.

Sitting in front of an early version and STILL NO FOGZONE...

Where did you find it?

Luminuis · Dec 30, 2000

Hmmmmm, where did I find it? but i have v.400 like I said...I could have sworn there was something somwhere that had to do with fog....

ChrisToth.hu · Dec 30, 2000

I know only one stuff like that, the Zoneinfo property bFogzone .

Fuzzpilz · Dec 30, 2000

...which BaelWolF was, as I interprete him, talking about. As far as I can gather, the bFogZone property doesn't show up in his Properties.
Everybody makes at least one very stupid mistake in their life; the following question may be one: Have you looked for bFogZone or for FogZone? In the ZoneInfo's Properties, under ZoneInfo?

Uh..a slight prob...
