I've made water with plains and I don't know how to make fog or something so when you dive you see blue or something. Please help!!!

I'm not really smart...

I'd make a sprite, that covers the whole screen. For a blue 'fog', the sprite has to be blue. Play a little with sprite transparency to find the best result.

Or do the same with a plain and lock it on to the screen. Set Alpha Mapping to taste, and there you have it.

Edit: To be safe, turn the plain's z-depth off so it's always in front of everything else. Or, if you want the fog to have a "distance" effect, you could set it further back with the z-depth on.

You can easily change whether the fog is on or off, as well as the colour - a short range blue coloured fog would be fine for an underwater effect. Just play around with the fog commands until you know their secrets.

yes we know - RPGamer already said:

For some reason the fog in DBPro seems to change when the camera angle changes. Anyone else experience this?

I'd say Turok; I definately love those old FPS games on the N64 with the close fog.

.Andrew, can't that I have; but it's been a while since I've used the built-in fog. Will check it out in a little while.
