Why does fog of the same density and color value look so much different
in qbism super them quakespasm? My fog setting in both super 8 and
quakespasm is .25 .0...

Last post

Cool idea but super8 may not be capable. This is a range limitation of the fog lookup tables of the engine IIRC, either to optimize speed or just lazy math.
