[pokefirered] Making fogs appear above the map and the player

[KambukaChicken]

In vanilla firered, we see the weather WEATHER_FOG_HORIZONTAL is drawn below NPCs, and below the foreground for double layered tiles. Is there a way to make the fog appear above all the person events and all the tiles?

I tried changing .priority = 2 to .priority = 0 in sOamData_FogH in src/field_weather_effects.c. It makes the fog appear on top just like I wanted, but now the player sprite is invisible when player enters the map with the fog. Is there any other way to do what I want? Or should I change something else in my current method to make the player not invisible?

You can't draw the player under the fog, because the fog and player are both sprites and the GBA hardware doesn't support alpha-blending sprites together. However, you can create the illusion of the fog being above the player by using this modification from pokeemerald's wiki.
