Fog = Darkness? – image 1

Right, we all know fog right?
Well can you make the fog black, instead of the grey/whispy white, make it black, and quite thick, because then, on a night run, it will give the effect of headlights!?Maybe people that use fog can experement- i know i am trying!Many Thanks,
Pete

HAPPY NOW? It's not moving anymore.
It's still the same train but in another livery, that's all.

How did you do it? I was thinking of doing a night run of the DLR, if I have extra time...BTW, I was away for some time, work has resumed on the DLR route, you may have noticed that I was silent for a few days now...!

Joshim,
currently constructing the DLR Route for BVE check out MY NEW WEBSITE http://joshimsbveroutes.gamehorizons.net/

>the DLR, if I have extra time... To be honest, I did not do it in BVE. The tracks and the cars are from BVE but the program that puts them (and moves them) on the screen is my own design.

RE: Fog = Darkness?

Try .fog 25;125;55;55;00 ( or lower number for the color values) set the second number for a value that would work for the headlights on your train. Make your ground a darker version and the track a slightly darker version than the day type and it sort of looks like objects appearing out of the darkness. I tryed to make a "cone" of light grey / yellow semi-see through in the panel bitmap, but it never looked right.
