Ehh... I suggest you drop that idea ^^
Although it may not look like it, this is rather advanced.

As far as I know, you need to work with filters (so that would cost some file space) and then you need to check the player's position in comparison to 4 reference points (North / South / West / East).
When you've got the location in comparison to those points, you need to show the correct fade filter to the correct player.

That doesn't include yet the secondary reference points (Southeast, Northeast, Southwest, Northwest)
It'll be challenging to do this system, trust me
