You can now set the region where people start from. This will give you a small starting region in the corner:

void afterStart()
{
Player gHumanPlayer=getHumanPlayer(0);
fogMap();
lightFog(gHumanPlayer,0,0,1,2);
}

Wait, so the second to last line sets some coordinates, and then every space in between them is revealed and then fogged?

How does "lightFog(gHumanPlayer,0,0,1,2);" work? What are the parameters? I've tried messing around with different values, but the light fog shows in the same places.

You probably need both of these:

void fogMap();
// All spaces are returned to deep fog for all players

void lightFog(Player player,int x1 ,int y1,int x2,int y2);
// sets the a range of spaces to light fog. A box from x1,y1 to x2,y2
// wont have any effect if called in configGame or beforeStart

Ahh... there's my problem then. I was doing it in beforeStart. Thanks!

Ok this works now. but I had to make a new hook function so you should do your fogging in:
bool duringStart()

and just return false if you don't want the normal fog.
