I believe that the best way to make fog is to script it.
For example:

Code: Select all

main:
   setcvar "g_scoreboardpic" "none"

   level waitTill prespawn

   exec global/DMprecache.scr

   level.script = maps/dm/yourmap.scr

   level.farplane = 3000.000000
   $world farplane level.farplane
   $world farplane_color (.7 .7 .7)

level waittill spawn

end
This is the actual piece that generates the fog:

Code: Select all

   level.farplane = 3000.000000
   $world farplane level.farplane
   $world farplane_color (.7 .7 .7)
The density of the fog:

Code: Select all

   level.farplane = 3000.000000
600 is very heavy fog while 8000 is allmost nothing

The color of the fog

Code: Select all

   $world farplane_color (.7 .7 .7)
for colors, in radiant, press "k"

I dont know much about scripting, but i think that this is the best way (and please, if my script is wrong then correct me! 8-) )

The fog is called "farplane" and you set the distance and color in worldspawn.

1. Select one of your skybox brushes.
2. Hit key N.
3. In the "Key:" box type farplane.
4. In the "Value:" box type in the longest distance (in units) found on your map. Example: 8000.
5. Hit enter.
6. Now type farplane_color in the key box.
7. In the value box type three numbers for the color. Example: 0.33 0.33 0.33 .
8. Hit enter and key N again on the keyboard.
9. Save your map
