We are letting this mole steer the thread. Ignore him. Taking nothing away from any of the Decal or plugin devs over the years - every plugin has it's own following, I've found. Ranking them in any way is the mole's way of stirring up controversy. Which plugin you think is 'best' is too subjective. We all have our favorites. Bandit Sight would have to mine. Sixth Sense was amazing and was the plugin that got me interested in Decal in the first place. And who could forget AcArm ?
SkunkVision is very cool, for me, the 'fog' effect simply gives the game a whole new 'look', it is especially neat to use when in heavy woods or jungle.
You know what would be nice - and perhaps we will see this - effects such as this that are based on the Dereth clock (the fog comes up in the evening and dissipates during daytime) - fog only in swampy areas and near water. One feature that could be added right away is no fog effect inside dungeons. I usually turn it off when I go inside, it's not a 'realistic' effect indoors.
And down the road, with this new Decal functionality we could perhaps see all water in the game made over with new textures (read: nice textures, not the current ones that I cannot stand to keep in my view in-game)
I look at SkunkVision as just a taste of what is possible with Decal now. Thanks for the appetizer!
