.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

my map is roughly 3000 x 3000 x 800
i entered the following into the worldspawn entity to achieve a fog effect:

farplane: 2500
farplane_color: .333 .333 .333

and this is the result:

but why does the floor display fog. i was looking for an effect similar to the fog in the "cross roads" multiplayer map for mohaa. how do i resolve this issue?

thanks for your help

Possibly you just have to try an other floor texture.

Look at the worldspawn reference guide.

Right now the floor seems to be one large flat brush. Have you tried to split it up and make it more uneven in stead of completely horizontal? (for example just split the floor up into four squares and drag the four corner vertices in the middle a little upwards). See if that helps.
I see this effect a lot in maps, also on long straight walls or even worse on long flat treelines which look terrible that way. Usually when I make a small angle in the brush or split it up the fog is gone or at least less obvious.

I tihink the biggest problem here is that you can see te sky in this thick fog... if you use skycaulk ( or was it skyclip ) in the common texture group, youll get a better fog...

Or maby the farplane: 2500 is just to test? Using a larger farplane number vill get a better "haze" effect istead of the "pea-soup" you get here

Caulk sky is good for loads of fog. That's what I read in Manstein's fog tut.

Caulksky colors the sky in exactly the same color as your fog. This removes all contrast between sky and fog, but looks a little boring. Good for dense fog though.

so you guys think that using a caulksky will resolve his foggy-floor problem? i think that if one large brushface extends beyond your farplane distance the whole brush will be affected by the farplane value.

It sure looks like it

How about turning that floor brush into LOD? Then pull on the vertices
