mknote

Are you entirely certain it’s even possible?

Texture. lol make the texture used transparent (alpha or opacity your choice lol)

And where would this texture be? Are we talking bout the txm files in the nebula folder?

[Fog]
fog_enabled = 1

Change it to 0?

@Cheese: he wants to remove the fog, not the clouds. ::)

I went as far as completely commenting out the FOG section but might try that, was thinking about doing that before i commented the whole lot out lol

MAYBE (<– pls note)
you can get that, with moving the nebula
behind everything you want to “shine through”
in the ini.

On other stuff it was - TY 2 help of Lancer Solurus -
noted, that the order in which stuff stands in the INIs
might matter.

Another suggestion: use rings. Just take an actual ring code and place it on a spheric/elliptic zone, then change the textures used. I think that should work if the above doesn’t.

Looks there is no way to remove fog?

I tried all above but finally i still got a black fog…… not transparented fog…

Is anyone tried this and success? i have a system need a cloud only nebula without any fog, and i don’t want to do it with ALE editing.

PS, something on this page is lagging my xoom, strange.

there were some values in the <nebula>.ini for this I think.
Try the near = or distance = stuff, I think one of the both could do this… (long time ago since I used them…)</nebula>

I also tried that two value… just simplely change it to large number…BUT…i got a even more problem…

Humm… I must point out my system size is large, about 300K diameter…

AND, the value i use:

near = 150000
distance = 270000

It’s correct. You can make a new cloud txm file ( you ought to, if you want transparent clouds in only one system), import the images and make the inner clouds fully transparent via photoshop.
