Recommended download (for Vintage Story 1.22.0-pre.1 - 1.22.6):
DeFog_1.0.2.zip  1-click install

The fog is deep... no longer!

 

I was tired of seeing the ugly light blue transition at the edge of my view distance on things like trees, especially when using distant LOD mods like Vintage Horizons. This mod removes that.

 

Note: This mod is 100% slop! Codex made the whole thing. If that bothers you, don't use it! 

 

 

You can toggle the effect on and off on the fly with the command ".defog"!

@SilverValkyrie: Wait why does this require striclty 1.22.6

It probably doesn't! It's just all that I tested it on. I don't see why this wouldn't work on any version of the game, but I'm not confident enough to actually advertise that.

@SilverValkyrie: the mod is set to only work in 1.22.6, your mod dependency is hard set on 1.22.6

That makes a ton of sense. Thanks for catching that - just uploaded a new version that doesn't hard require 1.22.6.

@SalemStyles: silence is complacency and has caused many atrocities in this world. just saying.

So what does that have to do with a guy who made a mod for a game?
It sounds like one of those phrases that used to pop up in Call of Duty when you died.

using such a heavy quote in a time where fascism has been rising around the world towards a mod in vintage story is a bit silly, no?

@SalemStyles: GoFogYourself has all this included as well as a menu option? depth haze control as well as the ability to turn your world into silent hill? and the indoor fog fix built in? also has the ability to entirely turn fog off we will also be adding menu feature

I'm not sure they do the same thing though? GoFogYourself may have the same LOD functionality but I personally don't want the rest of that stuff. This mod is exactly what I wanted, all it does is turn off the transitionary fog between loaded chunk and when VS Horizons LOD takes over and it works perfectly fine in my game. I noticed the fog was pretty jarring when I set my chunks below 512 for VS Horizons and this works great. I don't need full fog control and silent hill style timers, your mod is like a completely different toolset which is awesome if that's what you want. I just want the fog to go away for the LOD and the lack of features is the plus for me and he disclosed it was an AI mod so I don't really see the issue, I don't know if it's gloating so much as it's just like "hey this is a slop AI mod don't use it if you take offense/don't want to bug test AI code" but if it was, you fell for the bait.

Also I'm not sure I understand the bit where you say vibecoders came onto your page and say they can do better with ChatGPT? I checked your comments for FogYourself and he never commented and I didn't see any mention of AI there either. This all seems pretty personal and weird, I don't like AI slop as much as the next guy but this rant here makes you just look emotional instead of helping your cause.

Hey man, I just got home from work and saw all your comments. Your mod looks cool as hell. It was never my intention to step on anyone's toes, and quite frankly, your mod does way more than I would ever intend mine to. This was only intended to solve the very specific problem that bothered me that nobody else seems to have created in the years that this game has existed, and frankly, only really meant for me and a few friends. I've also properly tagged the mod as AI now (didn't realize it was even in the list of tags when I first uploaded it - I was looking for a giant checkbox that said "This mod is AI slop"). Hopefully this doesn't discourage you to add similar functionality to your mod in the future. Have a great day.

thanks for the kind words I will be implementing a similar thing into my own mod. Sorry for coming at you I am also dealing with heavy IRL stuff and lashed out I apologize its no excuse im sorry, did not mean to witch hunt :/ anyways if you would like and be interested since it is being implemented in my mod I can add you as a creditor to mine since well you beat me to the implementation of it? obs keep this mod up in case people just want this one feature and you did spend time on it, as well but I would be happy to add your name to mine for the implementation if interested in that as a sorry and a nod to your work, If not I understand I was a serious jerk. I will do better in the future and not let MY OWN PERSONAL bs bleed into this community. sorry to everyone who had to see that I am not normally this passionate on things just lots going on in canada rn and its worrying.

You dont owe this person any explanation, he dont own the concept of “fog” and he have no right to complain just because their mod does something similar.
If he had come with a less aggressive attitude, maybe he would deserve an explanation, but not today.
