Creating a fog effect:
« on: January 06, 2009, 05:48:49 pm »
I'm in the process of making zombie themed maps for the !Elite NS Zombie Survival Server and for one of the maps I wanted to have an ambient fog across the whole map, but putting in enough fx_P_cloud1.pngs to cover the map causes it to lag. How do I got about making an ambient fog scenery if there isn't allready one out there?
My sig was 300 x 120, the maximum size is 300 x 125. Check next time will you.

Try stretching one across the map

or make it yourself with a program that supports alpha (e.g, GIMP).  just look around for some "clouds" tutorials or something.
