It looks good. Can it be used with RFB without "breaking" anything?

I did actually test this mod with RFB and TMO and it works completely, the new scene.dat would not mess up AI sensors or anything like that. Unfortunately, I did not like the new appearence after trying the mod with RFB and TMO but it's a matter of taste, feel free to try it for yourself.

Improved Stock Environment must be installed after RFB and TMO in JSGME for it to work properly.

The screenshots are beautiful! The last one is truly photo realistic. Can't wait to load this up in TMO.

It will appear differently in TMO because of the various shaders that are used. It will still look quite good, i'll post screenshots of this mod in TMO and RFB later. This mod was originally designed only to be used on the stock game and I made it because I got tired of Real Environment.

It seems a great improvement of the vanilla environment, and I like to install it in my TMO 25 plus RSRDC.

I see you made only changes in the scene.dat file, it is all your mod. Of course, this scene.dat will work with the environment files of TMO 25, and the final result will be different with vanilla enviro files.

What about to add in the mod the vanilla enviro files of SH4 1.5 (shaders, etc.)? It seems the results will be the environment you made for stock SH4.

I don´t try your mod because I am in Chicago now (my second home), and here I haven´t SH4 (only SH3 in my laptop). I don´t know the complete list of files of the default environment; please, if you know that, post the list and we will do the modifications for a complete SH4 improved stock environment for TMO.

Many thanks and best regards.

Version 2 WIP (Additional compatibility and changes for TMO/RFB)

Made immense changes to the mod that make it more compatible with TMO and RFB, bringing more of the improved stock environment to these supermods by including new sky and ocean colors. Water has generally been improved as well and appears less "stormy" and more reflective. If everyone is happy with the results, i will release version 2.
