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.
