1. Creating a fog effect is rather easily done. First, create the area that you want to have the fog effect in as you normally do.

2. With your area already shaded, just go into 3D mode and place the cursor on the texture needed to have the fog effect and press Alt-P. Now, give it a pallette value of 1 (one). For the best effect you need to give all of the walls, floors, and maybe the ceilings this pallette value of 1.

3. If you have any items in the fog area give them a pallette value of 1 too. Do not give any monsters this pallette value though. The darker that you shade a texture the more the fog effect will be shown. So, do your fog effects in darker areas.
