still putting around with my engine. Got a lot of shit done, but this (dynamic) height fog with inscattering is the only screenshottable thing.

It makes me want to jump in an A-Wing and shoot down tie fighters, then watch them spiral into the fog, followed by an obscured flash of light illuminating the fog around the crash site.

Notice I said A-Wing, not X-Wing. X-Wings are terrible for dog fighting within the atmosphere.

Not sure if this is really worth posting, but it's neat, and I really like it. I decided it doesn't really deserve a tutorial of its own, but I don't know if anyone else knows about it so here goes...

If you open movevars_shared.cpp, and search for this, it's around line 82:

Code: Select all

ConVar   sv_rollangle   ( "sv_rollangle", "0", FCVAR_NOTIFY | FCVAR_REPLICATED | FCVAR_DEVELOPMENTONLY, "Max view roll angle");

Then change that 0 to another number, between 5 and 10, more or less if you want to, like so:

Code: Select all

ConVar   sv_rollangle   ( "sv_rollangle", "10", FCVAR_NOTIFY | FCVAR_REPLICATED | FCVAR_DEVELOPMENTONLY, "Max view roll angle");

Then compile, in-game your view will tilt to the left and right as you move left and right, very similar if not identical to the view rolling in Black Mesa. A very cool effect.

You will burn in hell for doing this and especially if you flag it as a cheat.

Also, you don't even have to compile in order to use it. Just put the command in valve.rc or something.

Pretty much instant motion sickness for me. If your game got this, and I can't disable it, I'm not going to play it for more than 10 seconds.

Just a suggestion for anyone wanting a similar effect. It's up to the person using it to put it in or change whether it's a cheat or not. If you don't like it, then don't use it.
