Patch to set "Disable fog" at the gameconfig ini files as an option.

It replaces the "distance alpha pass" with the "disable fog" parameter in the game ini files. It also includes my previous patch that enables "efb to cpu access" in the game ini files as an option.

Just try it with Mario Kart Wii and dx9 plugin Smile

Well, i got a bit excited after being able to compile builds and even submit some code that works in a couple of days that i actually tried to learn a bit of such staff. Of course the code is basically a copy paste effort of already existing code, but heck a few days before looking at code would actually scare me Tongue

. I'll get over it soon (i think). Other than manipulation of existing code, can't really help in anything right now (to create code).

i don't get it
that option is needed for "test on the fly" why moving it to game ini?

I wanted to get rid of the almost useless graphic option of "distance alpha pass" and replace it with another. Disabling fog seems useful on the other hand and a good candidate, especially after the recent fog changes that made a lot of games "blurry" all around with efb to texture (goldeneye, i think lostwinds 2, maybe others too, mario kart wii needs it too). No reason to disable fog in every single game though..

Better idea: Make "Disable fog" a hotkey... makes much more sense than yet another option in the game properties.

I replaced another one so all things equal i guess? Talk about hotkeys though, an idea of hotkeys for connecting - disconnecting emulated wiimote extensions seems interesting enough. Right now you need to take too many steps to connect or disconnect the nunchuck for example. I could try of doing it, no guaranties i can though.

I have committed the EFB Access patch but not the disable fog patch. The disable fog patch might cause problems down the line as it modifies an existing property. I think it is safer if we do without that for now.

Alright! Thanks Skid, no need to keep tabs on different gameconfig files any more.
