Fog bug?

by abc · in Torque Game Engine · 10/27/2004 (1:02 pm) · 11 replies

I have been mixing with some fog values now and I think I found a bug.
The fog is meant to be "pink-ish" and it is, but there is something very blue too :)

This image shows what I mean:

My sky settings are the following:
new Sky(Sky) {
      position = "-1088 -928 0";
      rotation = "1 0 0 0";
      scale = "1 1 1";
      materialList = "~/data/skies/sky_storm.dml";
      cloudHeightPer[0] = "0.349971";
      cloudHeightPer[1] = "0.25";
      cloudHeightPer[2] = "0.199973";
      cloudSpeed1 = "0.0002";
      cloudSpeed2 = "0.0004";
      cloudSpeed3 = "0.0006";
      visibleDistance = "500";
      fogDistance = "300";
//      fogColor = "0.820000 0.828000 0.844000 1.000000";
	  fogColor = "0.9 0.5 0.5 1.0";
      fogStorm1 = "0";
      fogStorm2 = "0";
      fogStorm3 = "0";
      fogVolume1 = "100 0 200";
      fogVolume2 = "0 0 0";
      fogVolume3 = "0 0 0";
      fogVolumeColor1 = "128.000000 128.000000 128.000000 -222768174765569861149077900047473967104.000000";
      fogVolumeColor2 = "128.000000 128.000000 128.000000 0.000000";
      fogVolumeColor3 = "128.000000 128.000000 128.000000 -170698929442160049016675429178998259712.000000";
      windVelocity = "0.1 0.1 0";
      windEffectPrecipitation = "1";
      SkySolidColor = "0.547000 0.641000 0.789000 0.000000";
      useSkyTextures = "1";
      renderBottomTexture = "0";
      noRenderBans = "0";
         locked = "true";
   };

Is this a bug or something wrong done by me?

How did you do that it was really beautiful :)
Can you make it happen with different colors to ?

You mean like this?:

Now it ain't blue (cyan?) but still, it shouldn't be there should it? :)
I only changed fogColor to "0.5 0.5 0.0 1.0" this time.

Oh, forgot to mention.
This is on TGE 1.3 (without engine modifications) on Mac OS 10.3.5

I remember a discussion about this problem on macs, but I didnt really understand it.

Yong-woo - if you have a new topic to discuss, start another thread. It's rude to try to hijack a thread.

Hmm... That is a pretty mysterious bug. Have you looked at the fog texture generation code? It might not be swizzling colors properly.

Yeah, I have looked at it but I couldn't find anything.
I should probably look at it again and make some changes, and see if I can get it right.
If I find the problem I will post a fix for it.

It's possible to get the fog code to dump a bitmap of what it's producing ($takeFogShot or something similar). You might try doing that and seeing if you're getting the colors you expect.

Got the fix from John Kabus now:

[b]core/color.h[/b] line [b]436[/b] sould read:

inline U32 ColorI::getRGBEndian() const
{
#if defined(TORQUE_OS_MAC)
   return(getRGBPack());
#else
   return(getBGRPack());
#endif
}

Thanks... I'll add this to my todo list to make sure the fix goes into 1.4! (How embarassing...)
