CoverGraphicProcessionLayer

Draws a layer of cloud texture covering the screen. It can fade in an out based on opacity and using the picture mask as gradient of areas which fade in soon or later.

There are two important concepts to understand:

• mask refers to something like a depth texture. It is applied across the whole screen and determines how the entire graphic fades in and out.

• effect in this context refers to clipping out portion of the cover graphic. It can use an effect_graphic. is_cloud_effect_advanced makes the effect modify opacity threshold of the mask rather than multiplying alpha.

Additionally an area can be masked out by range or effect mask.

Adds the final position value from given layer to this one.

graphic

Main texture of the layer.

mask_graphic

• Optional: true

Opacity gradient of the layer.

effect_graphic

Where the tiled texture is centered and rotated.
