CAW Fog?

[Riptide651]

I recently made a tiny world for a project, and used it as a basis for my world, only a tropical version. I ran the world, and built the lots. For some reason it has a few problems.

1. If you zoom out a little too far from Close-up view, it gets extremely foggy, and impossible to see.

2. If you look at the world through the close-up view, the entire world, including under the ocean, appears in the same way as if you turned the fog off in CAW, as in you can see the bottom, which is strange because in the deeper parts (the ones not visible normally), are at the lowest possible depth. This does not occur in map view.

3. If I load up the world, and the lot is unoccupied by anything (no furniture, no build objects, no walls) it appears as a darker piece of terrain than the other areas of non-lot covered terrain. (note that this is in-game). Once you build on it, it returns to a normal color.



I don't plan to ever upload this world, but I would like to know how to fix this if I happen to encounter it in my larger world.

Sounds like you have some colour ramps in there without the corresponding ini files. Check the world file for any of these and remove:

This does not occur in map view.
Again, this is due to your ini files or colour ramps. A close fog distance or orphaned colour ramp will cause the water murk to vanish.

3. If I load up the world, and the lot is unoccupied by anything (no furniture, no build objects, no walls) it appears as a darker piece of terrain than the other areas of non-lot covered terrain. (note that this is in-game). Once you build on it, it returns to a normal color.
Did you change the terrain paint colour at all? If so, the lots will remain the colour of the original terrain paint from distant view. To fix this, enter EIG mode and save the world. That should fix it.
