How to set /fog 1024 for all maps?
#1
I hate fog. It is annoying to type /fog 1024 on every map. Is there a way to disable it globally?

Thanks.

type it once and enter, when you go to a new map push t and up on the arrow keys and it goes though your history of types stuff, I find it easy. it work for every thing

Some people say it takes resources to render fog, and that disabling it will give you a framerate boost. However, on my old machine, I got a higher framerate with more fog. I guess it's comparable to "viewing distance".

I assume it's because it's easy to render a mass of indistinct fog but takes more resources to do defined lines of the distant objects.

The more fog you render, the sooner you can drop stuff that's further away. Fog has always been used to shorten draw distance and thus to help performance (anyone remember Turok ;)

Myke: It affects FPS, yes - less fog, less fps. It doesn't "effect" it. What's so hard about those two words ?? :/ That whole affect/effect thing is a pest. Fucking learn your own language, will you?

It's obvious why people prefer to have fog 1024 on every map, it provides the best visibility, the FPS argument is just an excuse. :P

As a mapper, I think if fog is defined in the map's configuration (.cfg) file, that clients should not be able to set their own fog for that map, but since there are no restrictions in place (currently) it's ok.

My delegation concurs with your solution. My country makes a motion to compel everyone to bookmark this link, and to close this session.
P.S. Just came from MUN, not my fault!
