I've heard this improves under water frame rates, is this true?

[BBury]

Thank you Redwine.

I think so not... those are the Hartmann tweaks wich removes plancton, rocks, plants, and fog.

Here the readme to edit SH III file, i used to edit SH IV too....

Recover of good underwater visibility, to back it to stock setting or to improve it beyond this point.
Open the file scene.dat with an Hexagecimal Editor and modify the following lines

You can play with the values at your pleasure, you need a Hexadecimal converter

Hexagesimal to Decimal/ Decimal to hexagesimal

and a Hexeditor....

If you need them, ask me, i can upload them for you.

I have been trying to mod it as you have described but data seems to be different... :hmm:

Yes... that is the data to mod SH III....

But basically it is the same for SH4.... the blue numbers may be diferent, and many more, but you must to search the file for the text.... and numbers.... (use Hexeditor search engine)

In example.... from (-3) to (-4)

00 00 80 C0 00 @@....Fog....A.

to

00 00 40 C0 00 @@....Fog...@A.


Or in example... from (18 m) to (21 m) .....

00 00 90 41 00 ..A.PF<....UpLight

to

00 00 A8 41 00 ..¨.PF<....UpLight

You can use the value you want... 21, 30, 40...

(remember to input the numbers in inverse order into the hexadecimal converters...)

In example... 21.... is .... 41 a8 00 00

Do not worry to still asking if you need more help... you are welcome !

Well the Mini Tweeker makes it a tad more easy.....:hmm:

Thanks for the values Redwine

orig:
