Is there anyway to fix objects like scenery and weapons being easily seeable through a heavy fog?

he means the while the BSP is all fogged up, scenery such as trees and rocks are still clearly visible, and he doesn't want that

Change the radiosity power and colour to roughly match the fog.

Alright sounds good. Time to go searching through tags for that stuff.

It's in the [sky] tag.

Philly, what do I set the power to? Cause I dont have any fog "power" settings, and neither 1, 0.9, nor 0.0001 work. I assumed it was on a scale of 0-1, since most things are. Let me go try something bigger.
Edit: And which radiosity? ID, OD or both?

OD I believe allows you to make fog that goes everywhere, not just on where the fog is supposed to be. ID allows you to make the fog affect objects in the level.

No problem.

Just for future reference, ID stands for indoor and OD for outdoor. Radiosity, I believe, is the colour that objects turn with distance, while fog is for the BSP.

Really? I turned ID to 0 when I made Ragnarok, but the fog was still inside the two bases.

:\ it would depend on how the areas of the map were sanctioned as indoor or outdoor. 99% of death island was outdoor, so I would guess that the tiny inside sections would have been overlapped a bit.

That's why if you enable snow in bloodgulch, it snows inside the bases and caves. Halo thinks that the whole map is outdoor, because nowhere has been told it's actually indoor.

I know that the Fog is what affects objects such as scenery, weapons, bipeds, and vehicles.
Radiosity didn't do anything. Thanks for driving me crazy Philly, I was plugging number in for hours, thinking I broke the halo.

This didnt do what I needed it to. What I needed was located under Fog in the sky tag.
