fog.ron

How the fog of war looks. Read by the game client only: a change here changes how it looks or sounds, never how it plays.

About this file

How the fog of war looks (crates/client/src/fog.rs, assets/shaders/world.wesl). Only the look: which zombies, players and items are drawn at all is the client’s own rule and isn’t changed here. Every field is optional; one left out takes the value shown.

Fields

The file is one FogLook.

How the fog of war looks: fog.ron in the data folder (each field described there; one left out takes its default, no file at all the shipped one).

Field	Type	What it is
behind	f32	Ground you have a line of sight to, but behind you, is this far from “out of sight” (0) to “in plain view” (1). 1 = no view cone at all; lower makes the cone stand out more.
cone_full	f32	The cone, in degrees off the way you face: in full view inside cone_full, easing to behind by cone_behind. (Tiredness narrows both.)
cone_behind	f32
close_radius	f32	Right round you everything in sight is in full view, behind you too: wholly so within close_radius metres, easing into the cone over the next close_fade metres (so there is no ring round the player).
close_fade	f32
range_fade_from	f32	The far end of your sight fades out from this share of the sight range to all of it.
unseen_day	Unseen	What is out of sight, by day and at night (in between follows the daylight): tint its colour cast, dark how much darker it is (0 = as bright as what you see, 1 = black), colour how much of its colour it keeps (0 = grey, 1 = all).
unseen_night	Unseen
other_rooms	f32	Rooms other than the one you are in (every room, from outdoors): how much of what you have a line of sight to in them shows, through a doorway or a window. 0 = they are always dark, and nobody and nothing in them is drawn; 1 = sight alone decides. (This one is not only a look: zombies, survivors and items in such a room are drawn by it too.)
roofs_seen	f32	How far roofs are kept out of the sight shadows by day (1 = a roof is never shadowed).

Unseen

What is out of sight: its colour cast, how much darker it is (0..1) and how much of its colour it keeps (0 grey, 1 all).
