@ Torpedo - Thanks for your assistance

If GameFront and other DL services say 'File not found' or the like -
IF you have ad block or something like it running > disable it at these sites or the file sometimes won't show up.
Most of them work like this.

Volodya - Kak dela u tebja?

Hi Tonschk :salute:

I'm back.
Well, I'm a big fan of the Dynamic Environment for its overall realistic graphics.
The 'clear' water of the Real Environmental Mod of Water Clear I find too transparent, not as good as the Dynamic Environment, reminds a bit of the 'OH II' 'Shallow Water", which I don't like at all.

The fog mod, was testing it when i got your message above, and I must say it's impressive.
All the different types of fog are just wonderful so what to do... :hmm2:

I'll give it a shot and see if it possibly works if I activate Dynamic Environment first and the Fog Mod after.
Checked which files in the two mods are the same ones and I find it worth giving it a try.

Cheers

The color of the original (stock) of the water I really like it! Why not have a separate fashion "little (real) of the sun and stars," fashion "sunrises and sunsets?" :hmmm:
Night water, cannot be brighter than the sky! :nope: :rock:

This is probably pretty basic but is this supposed to look like this? I am guessing something has messed with the real environment 3 mod. I have only just started modding SH5 as you can probably guess, mod soup at bottom of post. When clouds block partially block the sun I stil get very bright rays coming past the clouds.

Possibly one or more between these mods (or more probably their blending with Real Env):

sobers base sky mechanics
sobers Lights Cfg
sobers DOF

In other words: ask sober about compatibility issues with the above mentioned mods. :)

P.S, not related with your current issue: I noticed that you have enabled Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_byTheBeast and Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1_HotFix. Shouldn't you enable EUF Patch 1 between them :hmmm:

Regarding what I said about the 'Dynamic Environmental SH5 Shallow Waters V2.1' mod (I referred to another mod and I'm sorry for any confusion) I meant what I said. :yep:

Water in a harbour in the 30's/40's I think could not have been that transparent. I simply don't believe it.
In that mod the water looks like what I've seen in the Caribbeans at some lovely, sunny beach. Not in a harbour with water polluted with oil and much, much more.
Or were those ships environment friendly? Don't think so. :nope:
The sub looks like it's flying/levitating. The shadow of the sub shouldn't be visible.

In 30s/ 40s and Now

I think that usually the waters are very dark by the acumulation of mud, sediments, coal and other contamination.

RE water transparency

As far as I know, this factor is mainly controlled by game shaders.

A while ago TheDarkWraith introduced some changes to waterPS.fx, for addressing the issue of dat unit's keels not showing underwater. His work was released with Dynamic Environment v2.1, under the name of 'Dynamic Environment Shallow Waters'. One side effect of this submod of DynEnv was that it was making the seabottom (and rocks, seaweed, dived submarines, etc) visible through water, especially at shallow depths, hence the name chosen by stoianm.

At a later stage, Pintea suggested some changes to another shader, namely TerrainSurfacePS.fx, for partially obviating the above mentioned flaw. These modifications were released as 'Dynamic Environment Shallow Waters Patch'. The final result was a semi-transparent effect that is nice around mediterranean and tropical shores, but quite unrealistic when applied to harbour's waters.

Too bad, shaders are applied globally, and as far as I know there is no way to limit their effect to certain areas. Parameters that, sure enough, can be set separately for each zone defined in ClimatZones.tga, are the ones found in EnvColors_*.cfg files. They include UnderwaterUpAlpha and UnderwaterDownAlpha, setting uderwater water transparecy, and a bunch of parameter dealing with sea (underwater and surface) colors.

By making the appropriate changes to the zones around SH5 main harbours in the above mentioned ClimatZones.tga, one can make those areas to feature a darker, greenish (but not lesser transparent) sea surface. :yep:
