Description

The fog options (enabled/disabled, type, etc) should be present in the graphics control panel. There is no way to disable it now, and running "fog off" in the console doesn't help much either, because it gets turned on after going to the options, or changing maps, etc.

Fog is not a global option. It is there to be changed on a per-map basis.

This is not a bug.

Then what can one do when he doesn't want fog, because it causes too much slowdown for example, or because the original doom didn't have it. I find it rather strange that you can't turn of fog on a global basis.

Forgive my petulance for reopening this bug, but the fog is till bothering me. As I said in my previous post, one should be able to choose to disable the fog, just as you would disable particles. You said it is enabled on a per map basis, but where is this specified for each map?

The reason I want to disable fog, is because it causes to much slowdown, the lighting becomes ugly when making a lot of light (with the plasma cannon for example) and you can't see in the distance, which you could with the original doom.

If you don't want fog then the best thing to do is to disable whatever addon it is that you are using which is adding the fog.

However, I can see your point. It would be handy to have a setting which overrides the fog settings in MapInfo definitions, so I'll move this to the RFE tracker.

BTW, there is already the following cvar which controls the default fog drawing mode:
rend-fog-default

Hey, I didn't know the fog was being added by the environmental pack (jdep). By looking at the source, I noticed it has a command line option to disable fog (-nofog), but unfortunately, it disables the nice skies as well...
