Does your level have a ScatterSky element in it? If so, the ScatterSky 'fogScale' field overrides the LevelInfo 'fogColor' field.

Well that would explain it, apart from two things.
The fogcolor is applied when set in the levelinfo, so then that shouldn't happen.

And most importantly.. I can find no Scattersky fogScale field in T3D 1.1 B1.
Neither in the C code nor the TS code.

Ah - my bad. That field is only in the upcoming release (beta2). I believe even in 1.1 b1 ScatterSky controls the fog color though (see ScatterSky::_getFogColor).

Agree.

I'm going to go ahead and mark this as resolved. I've created a new ticket though to address the documentation of ScatterSky.fogScale to add a note that it overrides LevelInfo.fogColor.
