 Fog of War stuff So far, there are two functions that seem to deal with fog of war. Code: SceneMan:MakeAllUnseen(Vector(25, 25), Activity.TEAM_1)
SceneMan:LoadUnseenLayer("Base.rte/Scenes/UnseenTest.bmp", Activity.TEAM_1);
The first one makes the entire vision of a specific team to be fogged up. The vector defines the size of the fog "particles" (note, they are not really particles). Larger fog particles are less laggy than smaller ones. The second function loads the BMP file of what the fog will look like, for which team.

Re: Fog of War stuff Missed a few:
SceneMan:GetUnseenResolution(team).X;
I have a feeling that that gets the exact X pos of each fog section for scanning multiple resolutions of fog.
SceneMan:CastSeeRay(team, Vector(self.ScanPosX[team], 0), Vector(0, SceneMan.Scene.Height), self.ScanEndPos, 50, SceneMan:GetUnseenResolution(team).Y / 2);
This one gets rid of fog. It has a team variable for which fog will be eaten.
A formal documentation would be nice though...
Btw, aren't you on the dev team? How would you miss this?

Re: Fog of War stuff data has said several times he makes this game for himself. I wouldn't expect a documentation.

Re: Fog of War stuff Except he documented the lua before this, and he IS proud of the modding community (that's why he went to such pains to make the game moddable). I'm sure with the devlog post we'll see some form of docs.
Also, it seems you clear away fog with a bunch of rays cast from the eyes. 1 per frame. This leads to problems with Higher resolution fog maps. I am disappoint. I'll probably have to code a way to make high res fog maps work well.

Re: Fog of War stuff Some things about bitmap FoWs I found out:
A bitmap based fog of war is scaled to the map size, and overrides existing(Vector based) fog of war.
Also, fog of war bitmaps must be in pallet, however transparency works(allowing you to reveal areas without having to place an actor).

Re: Fog of War stuff That would suggest there's a way to re-initiate vector fog, if not yet then at some point. Also transparency is magic pink, right?
