Configurable Billboard Fog Effect

This mod uses LuaP3DLib to add a fog effect to the game with billboard quads, and the effect is configurable in the mod settings. The billboard group is added to the player character model, similar to the sphere fog effect used in Storm Over Springfield. By using billboard quads, many more layers are able to be used in the effect without running into performance issues or triangle limits, which allows for a smoother fade with less colour banding. The effect is also not affected as much by the position of the camera relative to the player.

Known issues:

Similar to the sphere fog effect in Storm over Springfield, the effect is not visible in the bumper cam when driving a car.

The effect is not visible when the player character is off-screen, such as during camera pan-ins.

Alpha textures in the world, such as Krusty glass, can appear glitchy with the fog effect.

Fully black fog is not visible. This can be worked around by setting the colour to RGB(1, 1, 1).

The costume shop background is not visible.

In its current state, the mod applies the effect to all player character models. This means that for example, in Level 1, Homer and Marge will both have the effect applied to them, even though you don't play as Marge in that level. I plan on addressing this in the future.
