Fog of war opacity problem.

[Zhakathoom]

Hello.

I've prepared a jungle map for my players a few months ago, and tonight when we got to that map in my campaign it turns out that all the areas in "fog of war" is virtually transparent for my players. Even on my screen I can see sort of through the mask now (I'm pretty sure it wasn't like that when I set it up ways back, since I struggled a bit with closing all the gaps etc and know I worked quite a bit to ensure it worked the way I wanted). All the occluders are set up as walls, and when I test with a new wall occluder square directly infront of my players they can still see both through the fog of war behind the object, as well as inside it. Even if I reset the fog of war, clear the tokens, readd them, change line of sight, lighting etc: I'm unable to make the fog of war totally black. For one of my players, who has a rather high brightness could see virtually straight through the fog of war to the point it were a mere shaded overlay.

I know it's not much to go on but any pointers would be appreciated.

This is from my end and my players has it ten times more transparent..

Can you try hiding the FX layers one at a time to see if that changes anything? Can you also check to see if ambient lighting is on? Thanks.

Thanks for your suggestions. However nothing you mentioned does anything to remedy the problem.60480

Yes, I'll do that when I get to my computer. Can I send it to you in a PM or do I have to share it here as an attachment as per the instructions? I'm not necessarily keen on sharing it publicly.

Also adding a poorly snapped phone-camera picture of how it appeared on one of my players screen. //edit: picture won't upload from my phone so I'll have to add it from the computer it seems. /

You can share a link to it via PM or a support ticket.

I shared a Dropbox folder with the e-mail account associated with your Fantasy Grounds account. Let me know if you do not receive the invite at that address.

I think I've successfully zipped and shared the file in your folder. I'm not sure how to identify if the image/map in question is included however, since I made it entirely within FG with the mapeditor (hence it's not listed in my "images".) It's named "Jungle coordinates destination".

Any help on this would be appreciated since I'm stumped. It's probably due to something weird I've done with the wall occluders or somesuch, but I find it odd since the next map I made the exact same way seems to work. It's the jungle basement map. Also; if i create a square (shapetool) wall object straight infront of my characters on the map with the issues, and reset all the fog of war etc, it's still see-through like if it's "a remembered area".

If you could zip up the files from tokens/host/01 - Map resources/ that should be enough for me to debug the map.

There, I think that should be all of the files except the one who came with FG (Torstans), added to the dropbox folder.

Thanks for providing the data. I have identified the issue. There is a bug with lighting/LOS and paint objects that do not have an image, e.g. a solid color fill. While I'm investigating the best remedy, you should be able to "fix" the problem by hiding the layer "Shade" in the "Environ bottom" folder.

Thanks! I'll test that out.

Your time and effort is very much appreciated!

The fix @pindercarl provided is now available in FG v.4.5.6.
