You can't turn off fog while playing online.

Yes you can. Fog is clientside, just like other effects. If there is distance culling though, it will look strange (that you can not turn off).

[Alien]

No, server auto resets fog.

[torus]

Is that new? Because I was playing Silvercity just yesterday, and the server most definitely did NOT reset fog.

[Alien]

It should (at least on svn). Maybe smth was changed.

Maybe next time, you should cite your argument before saying such a definite one liner so we don't waste threads over dilly dally.

Oh, mr.Stalker here again. Didn't know what to do on Wednesday evening, did you? Had to spam here? Thanks for your wisdom.

Allow FORCING fog by the server (sv_foginterval 5 makes it re-stuffcmd the fog every 5 seconds to each playing client)

As I said, server can autoreset fog, so do not rely that you'll be able to remove it in client.

I didn't see you say anything but a definite "it does this" without citing a source (as usual) but whatever.

Does sv_foginterval set to 0 mean the server doesn't force it?

[Alien]

It's probably made cvar that it could not be changed, wasn't it?

That just doesn't make sense.

In the original code you posted, the first line says:

Allow FORCING fog by the server (sv_foginterval 5 makes it re-stuffcmd the fog every 5 seconds to each playing client)

and the default nexuiz setting for this cvar is 0. That means, this cvar is changeable. 0 either infinitely re-stuffcmd the fog or doesn't do it at all. I'm guessing the later is more probable.

Can we stop derailing this thread now?
