just realized that the "exclude far pixels" option in GlobalFog script should only be enabled when FarTerrain mod is active - otherwise fog will look incorrectly.

Hey, Nystul may you make an option or version of mod like early ones versions or something like that, where landscape polygonal, without smooth?

Like on this screenshot, if this yours of course...

This is mine yes and this is from vanilla df, no mods required, this is how vanilla df works. Just use the old tool for modifying the woods file (the detail height data) and in the 5x5 array for heights for a worldmap location set all values to zero except the middle pixel which you need to set to max value, then you end up with this behavior

it is possible to make it for the whole landscape!
Just to make it clear: this screenshot was made in vanilla daggerfall and the tool mentioned is only for vanilla daggerfall. The tool is FiryWoods v0.3 which can be found here: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Files
there a different mechanisms if you want to achieve the same in daggerfall-unity

Okay, thanks.

If someone got time, it be nice to allow option of that polygonal landscape and ability to change draw distance and after that your mod may be added not as mod, but as native options for DU, it will be totaly awesome :D

working on texture arrays for terrain tiles lately - no texture bleeding is one benefit of it

I can almost see the procedurally-generated rivers and roads... :D
