Hey Graf, I was wondering if it would be possible for you to add an additional Doom fog mode that mimicks ZDoom's fogging curve?
I don't know how to word this properly... you know how in ZDoom, the fog's curve is more... um, extreme? It's like everything becomes fullbright when you stand next to them.
Right now, GZDoom's Doom fog behaves more kinda like vanilla Doom's fog... but I kinda like ZDoom's fog. Especially for darker maps, ZDoom's fog is much better.
Also, I am aware of gl_light_ambient but unfortunately it's not the same.
Please consider this. Thanks.
ZDoom-like Doom fog?

Vanilla's and ZDoom's fog is mostly the same. The only major difference is that in ZDoom you see more of the close range because you can look up and down.
But this looks awful in GL. I tried experimenting with different light values around the player and it does not look like fog but like a strong dynamic light emanating from the player. It only works in software due to the extreme banding.

From what I can tell, ZDoom is certainly doing it differently because when I stand next to a wall (this is without any mouselooking - in other words I'm looking straight), the wall appears fullbright, but this will not happen in vanilla.
Regarding how it looks in GL... hmm, you might be right. I can sort of imagine it being a strong dynamic light.
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all? :/

Graf, you might wanna reconsider that.Graf Zahl wrote:Vanilla's and ZDoom's fog is mostly the same. The only major difference is that in ZDoom you see more of the close range because you can look up and down.
