Small graphics request for CMAK (distance haze effect)

[panzermartin]

This isnt of major importance but I was wondering if it is possible to add a slight hazing-distant effect in the 3d-terrain of CMAK. In other words, something like the already existing fog effect but in smaller density and in non-foggy conditions as well.

This is to improve the feel of distance

and depth, something that I think is missing in the current CM engine, with distant graphics appearing too crisp even at 2-3 km. This will also create the illusion of a borderless battlefield adding to the game's atmosphere.

Take a look at a landscape and you'll notice that colors and details become gradualy paler

and fade away even from 1km distance. Combined with the new dust effects a haze feature would

really enhance aesthiticaly the game imo.

Just a thought...hope its not too late

We had talked about this early on during CMBB's development but it wasn't implemented for technical reasons. Something like this will certianly be possible in the CMX2 engine though.
