Fog hidden properties

Hello guys, this is my first post on Roblox dev forum.
I hope this forum will learn you some cool things.

First of all I was scripting and I tried to set the FogColor to [40, 30, 30] with the comand bar, but… I forget to add the [/255] . Normally I should hove wrote this [40/255, 30/255, 30/255].
So the values was over 255, and my game was pretty weird with 3 colors only and quite glitched.

So I decided to modify the Fog properties and I finally get something really interesting.
here are some exemples.

So, can you tell us what tgese hidden properties are?

have you seen the pictures ?
The picture is posterized, I just failed with a script and the fogcolor value has been set over 255/255.
if you play with big values you can get some cool shaders.

I don’t understand whats going on.
If you make a video it’d make more sense.

Also, you don’t need to make another thread if no one replies to your other one. Most of us are at school right now.

I hope that you catch along and don’t get flamed by everyone here. I expect that you guys will at least give him a moment to figure out what he should be doing and what he shouldn’t be doing here. Lets not become a pack of wolves who aggressively attack new members who don’t understand everything just yet (aka IronNoob).

What you seem to be suggesting in this thread is that there is a hidden property under the Lighting that isn’t visible from the properties menu, and I’m pretty sure what I see is not suggesting that.

sorry for the double post, I just posted it on the wrong room at first… I think! lol

it is a metaphor, there is no new or hidden properties.
Its about the fogcolor, read it properly again and you will understand what to do.
Just set the fogcolor over 255 like [3000000; 3000000; 3000000], and your game will look posterized.

so, it’s not hidden, it’s just unusual behavior. The word “hidden property” has a very concrete meaning here at the forum (it means that the property does not show up in the properties tab) and what you are showing does not exemplify that.

I mean a fogcolor hidden propertie, the fogcolor can do much more than colouring the fog.
I’ll be more precise for future posts, without metaphors.

Here’s some interesting ones.

In case anybody wonders what it actually looks like

Interesting. Nice find! Really surprised they didn’t restrict those values.

I believe the word you are looking for is “behavior.” Here on the forum, the terms behavior and property have an un-spoken concrete definition: a property is something that appears in the properties window, and a behavior is how something acts. Because what you found is a strange action of the fog color, a proper name for this thread would be “fog hidden behavior

Setting my fogcolor to 40,30,30 doesn’t make it look posterized.

Its not [40,30,30] !
Its [40000000,30000000,30000000] !!!

That made everything turn white.

What are your exact lighting properties?

Why would we flame him? That would be highly unprofessional. Right, guys?

My exact values are:

FogColor: 25000000, 250000000, 250000000
FogEnd: 2.99e+024

The appearence is not working with this fog setup. Maybe just the OutdoorEmbient work.
You set the color with the fog with more or less Red, Green or Blue.

Well then…

I can see something like that be used in a horror game. Hmm…

A new feature that lets us tell clients how many different colors they’re allowed to use when rendering the world?

DEATH BOT: [size=6]OPERATION DEATH LASER EARTH SCAN INITIATED[/size]

Request in case ROBLOX Devs want to patch this:
If you do it, make this a feature. It makes for some really cool atmospheres.
