Need help adding fog (/w screenshots)

I've been working on my 'prison level' periodically this week (I've taken a few months away from Game Studio), and wanted to know how to add a simple transparent mist to cover the floor throughout the prison. I've been searching the forum, I've been searching google, and I've been searching the tutorials, and have found absolutely NOTHING in regards to adding fog into a level. I need help!








I wanted to know if anyone would be able to explain step-by-step (or even provide a link to a n in-depth tutorial) on how to add continuous fog throughout a level from the ground up (keeping in mind that I have absolutely NO idea how to do so, or how to script). I think this may also help anyone who ever wonders the same question. And, if this question has already been explained, I would appreciate a link, and want to apologize for bringing it up.

Its explained very well in the manuel ?!?

Easy way with WED:
To fog walls without script open ure map probs...fill in the fog color rgb
values. If u set a walls (fex) albedo to 1 (or the fog color uve been choosen)
its "foggy".

Global fog script:
main() {
...
CAMERA.FOG = 80; //thick fog
FOG_COLOR.RED = 1;
FOG_COLOR.GREEN= 1;
FOG_COLOR.BLUE = 1;//...a dark grey fog
CAMERA.FOG_START = 0.8;
CAMERA.FOG_END = 1000;
...
}

its written out of my memory hope its correct !

Thanks for the help, rayp. Where exactly is this in the manual? Because I wasn't able to find it (I even checked the downloaded tutorials). Anyway, I'm having a lot of problems with this.

1. I'm not at all sure what is meant by "set walls"; or what procedure I need to do to make this happen.

2. Whenever I go into the project manager, and I try to add a script it says: "can't open script file ... .wdl"?

3. I don't know how to manipulate the FOG window to select the color I want; or how to make the fog transparent. As in, do I have to select colors for Fog 1-4, etc...

4. I don't know how to script! I don't have any idea where to enter the 'global fog script, how to put the script into my level, and run it. Or, how to tell the engine which parts of the prison I want the fog to appear in after running the script.

I'm sorry for so many questions

I think u have using probs not fog probs ?
Manual? U dont know where to open the manuel ???

If u dont find it in ure software use the "Online Manual" link
(left side of the screen in this forum)

No, I don't know where the topic regarding fog is in the manual? If I can read through it, it may help me out a little more with the issue, and then I can ask whatever I didn't catch after reading through it.

Whats about the search function in it ?

Search function worked, it brought up several scattered topics, I've read through them, however it doesn't so much state a simplified "fog for dummies" technique; which is what I was sort of hoping to attain on the forums (unless I overlooked it).

I'm not trying to be lazy, which it probably is comming off as, I just don't understand scripting commands at all, I have no idea where to start with them, or where to go from it. If I could throw fog into the level with a simple step by step procedure that I could understand, then maybe other basic scripting commands (exampled in the manual) would start making clearer sense to me, and I could start learning about basic scripting.

If I got you right, you only want some fog on the ground and no distance fog.
I would create a model with a couple of kinda random faces which are all textured with al lot of transparency, probably some noise and the color of your fog.
You could then transform the vertices a little and place it in your level at the positions you want the fog to be.
