Hey, all
Kriller and W_Clear, Fantastic job on this mod....you guys have really hit the mark......this time.....I have a couple of questions, I am using ship reflections from enviroment 5.0 after real enviroment and WOW, it works great for the ship reflections on the water....the one thing that is not working so well is the caustics on the sides of ships....some are working and other ships are not, I really like that effect....so I looked in the environment ship file with silent hunter editor, and noticed that most of all the ship caustic effects are off, or at zero....I am wondering, were they mostly turned off or zeroed out for a reason, as they did not work very well in enviroment 5.0 as well....do I have to set parameters for every ship and if so what are the typical parameters/numbers that need to be set under unified render controller? Here are current ship settings Causticts Enabled=True MaxAltitude=0.0 MinAltitude=0.0 strength=0.0 Scale=0.0 Speed=0.0 most of the ships in #4 ship Reflect file are set up like above, I would think Strength would need to be higher than zero correct to see the effects, and what are the best standard settings for all ships, I guess I will need to set and save every ship file, that will take time thanks very much for your help.... |

Real Enviroments with #4 ship Reflect
Kriller and W_Clear
Here are some screen shots of the caustic effects, the sub effect are working fine, the ship reflections are great, but there is no caustic effects on the sides of many ships..... http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/291...2119304742.png http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/329...2119290239.png http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/961...2119260423.png http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/768...2119245965.png Thanks again for the help..... |

Custom HUD MOD
Hello,
Its a combination of RSRD_410 for TMO163,Scaf_for 410 and Captain America's TMO163 hud mod / High res dark hud dials, I had to Configure the INI 1024_768 menu file to make it all work, I need to ask permission from the other modders to release the new menu file....there is another thread on the front of this sight that says need help ! engine telegraph bell sound, there I have more pictures and a little more info, It is a work in progress, took me 8 hours to reconfigure the new file to make everything work the way I like....I like detail, and the old radio and phono....for me is what I like..with ops monsun it rearranged things in away I did not like, so I made it all work again+ extras |

To get the caustics working with W_clears reflection mod is not easy, because the numbers for defining the caustics needs to be different from each other, because the ships are different in size. BTW just to be clear the RE mod does not change the caustics, because there is no data ship files included. Last edited by kriller2; 03-22-09 at 04:23 AM. |

Could I ask what the Noise files do in game??..I have spent a good few hours testing as to why my FPS drops and even with no AF enabled the FPS was dropping by 30 when I looked at the sky, short side of the tale is , the problem stems from the noise01.dds and tga files, so I have removed tham from the install, but I was wondering what I have actually switched off in the mod? Look forward to your reply.

To make this work you will need the old datafiles and compare them with W_clears changes then slowly add the missing numbers in. I don't know why he put those numbers out and would think there must be a reason? |

Just What I needed....Got Rope
Thanks a bunch kriller.... you have given me just enough numbers to hang myself with.....and or make your great mod explode into thousands of tiny non working pieces so I will work with one ship at a time and see what happens.... its just what i needed....just out of curiosity why did you not include the caustics in you new mod like PE3...environmental 5.0 has the ship reflect folder, with all the seprate ships...thats why I like it...so I can play with the settings one at a time....but I can't quiet figure out why the settings were all left at zero, what did I get into ??!!
