I have been sitting on this technique for close on 10 years...

I used to have a youtube channel with all of these tutorials...

The community will attack me and then use this technique and give someone else credit.

i cant test this technic currently if it works its cool.

but if somebody uses this technic and learned it from you - its not creditable - credits not needed but oc would be nice.

Anyways i like that you have youtube channel and you uploading videos with CC stuff.

This is still not removing the fog properly from the skybox for me. I did the exact same thing as the video, but with red color for the fog on a default skybox.

Here is the video of what I did.

https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/...

this doesn't remove the fog for me, it makes the fog not that much noticeable but the fog stays there.

Also this has been mentioned by you here on this post as well.

Upon doing a no fog search I found this thread where you also mentioned the same.
https://www.ambiera.com/forum.ph...

but It's not working for me, though its a good technique, its not working for me.

I never said that I wanted credit...What annoyed me was when people lied about the fact that they created code when it was me that created it....I HAVE NEVER CARED ABOUT WHO USES MY CODE....

I HAVE ALWAYS CARED ABOUT PEOPLE TAKING THE CREDIT FOR MY WORK AND TELLING PEOPLE THAT THEY INVENTED THE METHOD....

IF YOU DID NOT INVENT IT - JUST KEEP QUIET.....

OTHER THEN THAT I LITTERALLY DONT CARE IF YOU USE MY NAME OR NOT

THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY STANCE

To be clear...everyone can use everything that I posted on the forum...Don't mention my name....I don't want my name mentioned...

JUST DO NOT LIE AND SAY THAT YOU INVENTED IT IF YOU DID NOT - Like just in case... He took credit for so many things....

Like his beat em up template. I sent him the template and then he released it as his own under his work...

Like I said, and repeatidly so...

The first multiplayer system using tcp and exe what build by me with the mech project.

I opensourced it...

Then the new generation of coppercube guys arrived and just in case taught everyone how to do it with the read and write file system with encryption...

But he took the credit and and lied about the fact that I was the one that built it first. He said that he did....

I never wanted to take credit... I just hate it when people lie about the fact that they did something when I actually did it.

Leave my name out of everything and I will be fine.

Again, I repeat, if you did not create it, then don't say that you did.

You don't have to mention me...

My stance has always been the same...

Use whatever I provide, but don't pretend that it is your work...

Say nothing.

One last thing...

I never ever said that I was the best developer here...

I never ever said that I invented everything...

I know that Just in case is a better developer then me like many others...

What I said, was that I was one of the first coppercube developers and we paved the way for all the others and popularised a dying engine that never had a market...

I personally ran facebook adverts for coppercube ...

We the early adopters invented many of the things that you take for granted today...

I never said that I invented everything, I never said that I was the best developer....

I can name many developers who were better then me and still are.

Just in case was always better then me...But he stole a lot of my work and passed it off as his own.

The one thing I remember about you, Zoo, is Marshtown Madness. I can picture the site right now lol. Morbid clowns were the background image.

Regardless of the perception your name carries with some people, you do deserve to be heard, and at a minimum acknowledged for what you've done for the community.

I've been going to this forum since 2017, and I remember you, crack_your_speakers, and others (one went by "eminem" or something, with some numbers afterwards), John Maksym, Jaime Zegpi, Bracer, and ishmaru were all contributing stuff n, and the amount of guests was markedly lower then, that I can remember anyways.

Since the engine was made free, a massive shift occurred which I don't think benefited the community in any ways.

The way the engine was, in a sense, gatekept by the purchase fee, helped it a ton. It kept freeloaders out of the community who ask, ask, ask, and give nothing in return (not even financial compensation), and there was more maturity back then.

I hope that with version 7 he drops the free version and goes back to just having a paid version, with a time-limited demo. That, or he cripples the free version more than it is now. Maybe make it only possible to export to Windows, and if you want the other platforms (for whatever reason, as they're not that great), you buy the Professional edition.

But in general, I hope to see some massive upgrades. He's laid down the groundwork to do some amazing things already, but it really needs more. In particular, I really wish it had a more capable renderer. Think like, Unreal Engine 3-style. Stunning visuals, but also not extremely heavy.

Anyways, with that said, Zoo, I do apologize for the occasions where I argued with you and such, as I remember it happened a few times. Hopefully the door opens to you returning in a capacity further than using guest accounts, and the air being cleared up.

I am writing to express my concern regarding the recurring instances where I have been wrongly accused, followed by your apologies. While I appreciate the acknowledgments, the pattern of these events is deeply troubling.

This time, I will not engage in lengthy discussions or forum posts, as I have done previously, only to be asked to remove them to protect your reputation when the inaccuracies in your claims are revealed. Instead, I am addressing this matter directly to bring clarity and resolution for both you and the community.

Furthermore, I will not rely solely on written responses on forums. I intend to create a video that thoroughly documents and exposes the falsehoods in your accusations against me, presenting verifiable evidence for the community to evaluate. I trust that the community will assess the credibility of all claims based on transparent and factual discussion.

Edit:- The text above is converted in a formal tone with the help of LLM. I don't wanna show my frustration over his false accusations.

I was hoping for a reply to why the fog removal was not working for me.

But what I got is BS in return,


To be honest now I don't care about your little trick. I will probably stick with JIC shader. Atleast it does what it says.

I can lower the scale bit more to minimize the affect of fog, but can't turn it off completely for the skybox.
Most of the time i use very dense Dark fog and I don't want to waste my time on checking out with differenr value for the scale. Instead I will just put the shader by JIC.

I don't want to be a part of "I created this first", you used my technique in your game. Don't present your game as if it is created by you, I don't want credit but you should not say that this game is created by you because you used my technique.

So, keep it to yourself. I don't care anymore about this or anything else that you have to offer.

I noticed that too @Guest_guest; you genuinely asked politely and then it immediately got spammed by multiple negative rants.

I notice there are a couple of people that often lay these social traps for community members. Just so they can reply with bizarre insults.

I suspect that's triggered by some kind of mental-health problem/illness but it causes disturbance/upset for everyone and can bring a small community down quite quickly.

Please don't let it affect you, you obviously didn't deserve that response at all.

Thanks @VP, I appreciate your reply on the matter. I will keep my questions or queries to limited people only.
I use Discord mostly, the social environment is way much better there than the forums. Except some spammers or hacked account spammimg the servers with "Free Nitro" stuff.

Thanks again for your valuable response!
