Need fogging alpha equation!

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Need fogging alpha equation!

In short, this can't be done.

In long, if fogfactor = 0..1, alpha = 0..1

if you just go setalpha( alpha ) for the image and setalpha( fogfactor * alpha) for the fog, the total alpha applied is fogfactor * alpha^2. You want to solve for:

useralpha = drawalpha^2 * fogfactor
or drawalpha = Sqr( useralpha / fogfactor )

That will get the alpha values correct, but not the result you're looking for (at least not perfect).

At least I think that is right, I haven't tested it.
