Hello,

okay, no problem. I am sure the code can be optimized.

But here are the first changings that I have made.

First you can make it fullscreen if you wish with:

In main.wdl under var v_DepotMore:

var video_mode = 9; (or 8) (I have a widescreen).
var video_screen = 1; (Full screen).

So you can see the effects better.

There are no changes in the shader.

Now open fog.wdl.

5: Line
Replace define mag_fog,100; into ...
define mag_fog, 10; (Don´t know if you really need it. I have tried some things)

44: Line

Replace wait(-5 + ....
with wait(-8 + ....

52: Line

Replace var fog_speed = 20;
If you wish.
If you do it, then the code is faster: Reduce it and try it.
I have also tried 1 instead of 20. But you must try this.

81: Line

Replace 5,8 with 2 (It will be faster with it) You have to try it.

88: Line

Replace my.Translucent (Lite-C syntax)
with my.transparent

Line 115:
And now the problem with the C-Script: It generates endless functions without changes and slows down until 3 fps or something like that.

First make a new variable under the line var fogcount.

Like: var max_fogus = 80; (The name is not important)

Replace the line:
while(fogcount > 0 || fogcount < max_fog)

with
while(fogcount < max_fogus)


I am sure, you can make the code better. I have tried it only a few minutes.

Logitek

@logitek, i made your changes and it works better and the framrate is good. but because i added it to another level, i am now getting that no level error in generate_fog.

fixed the problem, i placed the camera clip, fog color, etc. in the wrong place, i was supposed to put it below the level_load. it works great now.

Ok I have uploaded a new version that include comments as to where changes can be made.
Fog C-Script version

Still coded for A7 but I commented where changes need to be made for A6 users. (Only two changes need to be made.)

I had it running for around 20 minutes with no problems.
framerate was steady at 60 and that's with 50 entities.

After configuring my Graphics Driver proper I thought i'd recheck the framerate.
It now states an average of around 400fps with a max of around 750fps using the C-Script version.

All the best to you all.

it works ok, but the debris in the shader is blurry, not as clear as the examples.

Well change the scale then of them then. But it will slow it down though.

ok, i will give it a shot.

well, i tried the fog on all of my levels for my project, and i am getting different results. i will have to mosify for each level or abandon the fog all together.

Or use the none shader variant

but the shader is so cool. i love the fog, its a little too much on some of my levels, but when i modify, it should be ok. messes with the framerate when i modify sometimes.
