All of these are fx questions, go to the mustafar world folder, look through the "effects" folder, and go through the .fx file in the "world1" folder.
You'll find all of those pretty fast.

Thank you all!!!!!!

for fog go to the dagobah odfs and add the mist prop.

[Taivyx]

for fog go to the dagobah odfs and add the mist prop.

Or if you want it throughout the whole map, you can add this line to your ABC.fx(environment effects) file located in your world1 folder. If you don't have an fx file in your world1 folder then create one or copy one from the assets.

Insert this code into your ABC.fx file(replace ABC with your 3 letter modID):

Code: Select all

Effect("FogCloud")
{
	Enable(1);
	Texture("fluffy");
	Range(60.0, 100.0);
	Color(168, 172, 180, 128);
	Velocity(5.0, 0.0);
	Rotation(0.1);
	Height(16.0);
	ParticleSize(28.0);
	ParticleDensity(60.0);
}

The code example above was taken from dag1.fx located in:

• BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\DAG\world1

You can find more examples in these:

• BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\END\world1\end1.fx
  BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\FEL\world1\fel1.fx
  BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\GEO\world1\geo1.fx
  BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\HOT\world1\hoth1.fx
  BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\KAS\world1\kas2.fx
  BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\POL\world1\pol1.fx
  BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\YAV\world1\yavin1.fx
  BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\YAV\world2\yav2.fx

Wait, for the fx to work, just copy/ paste the mustafar fx into the world 1 folder?

[Taivyx]

And rename it to ABC.fx where ABC is your ModID

[da_great_ghost]

Could I add the fog to one area and have the ashes over the whole map?

[elfie]

one area you use the odf from dagobah

[woner11]

Not the odf. There is none unless you mean the object.

[woner11]

Yes, you can place the prop into the map instead.

[da_great_ghost]

it's called dag_prop_mist right?

[inferno]

If you wanted to use that one that would work just as well.
(hoth prop dust is fog actually there is obviously no dust on hoth)
