No it isn't.
I'd better update post #1.

Edit: I've updated post #1 with detailed information on mod compatibility.

Can somebody help me, please, to have a sun bright and shining because I only know how to sink a ship and absolutely not how to do with these stuff...

Thanks

Here is my videocard parameters with nHancer:

Do you get a flat sun without OLCE2 installed?

Of course, you're right...

With GWX2.1 correctly installed and the same videocard parameters, I have a big flat sun!
I think that's something with serie GF8XXX videocards and absolutely not with your mod. I know that ATI users don't have the same problem. But I don't know how fix it...

I have an ATI card and it's the same for me. AA settings (including adaptive AA) have a big effect. If I turn off all AA and don't apply my sun fix, I have a flat sun in OLCE2. If I max out both normal and adaptive AA and apply the OLCE2 sun fix (not advised) the sun halo takes up half the sky and is totally blinding.

You'll have to enable a bit of AA to fix it.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer...
I'll try it after downloading your last version. You are an untiring perfectionist. I like it... Thanks for all

Well, either I have a shining sun with low level of details (low quality of textures) or I have a flat sun with high level of details (high quality). Enabling a bit of AA don't fix the flat sun. Sorry.

I think it's called Antialiasing - Transparency on nVidia cards.

Yes, I have turn it on... in nHancer there's super-transparency AA.
And always the same result. Have read again the thread about NVidia tweaks to SH3/SH4 and try a lot of combinations... but nothing else. I really don't understand and I don't want to annoy anybody with my video problems... so let's play with a flat sun...
Thanks

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, Lopo, but I'm glad at least that it's not my mod causing the problem, so thanks for checking.

You're welcome. Good hunting!

Marko_Ramius · 04-23-08, 12:05 PM

Hi Lopo,

You should try to not use a profile in Nhancer/driver Nvidia ; Just tweak it in general tab. Don't sure if it will fix it but why not try ?

I had problems with last Nvidia drivers and profile tweak so it's why i say you that.

I have a 8800GTS with 169.44 and i don't have the flat sun. And don't need the flat fix. And i don't use Adaptive AA at all ..

OLC : Your GUI seems to work OK in 1680/1050

I just have to understand to use it.

Hi OLC,

Finally I got some time to try your mod. Fantastic piece of work. Got one question if you don't mind. It's clear for me that you had to reduce to one zoom level in order to avoid the flat render of the ocean. I agee. However, is it possible to keep two zoom levels for AAA gun and deck gun only? I find it quite difficult to aim at the maximum zoom out level. It's especially difficult with the deck gun. Is it something I could change myself for my own version of your mod? Thanks.

Oh kind, and merciful Onelifecrisis! Please check your PM box...for i've sent you a nice wrench.

Schwuppes · 04-24-08, 01:02 AM

OK I also have the Problems with OLCE2 and the flat sun when Anti aliasing is enabled.... when i use 32xS antialiasing via nHancer the sun is very flat. If I only use 4x MSAA the sun looks OK but I miss out on the smooth textures that 32xS AA gives me... which means I get the shimmering waves in the distance.
I might try some other AA modes, and see if I can get an good compromise.

And one other thing:
Is anyone else getting these graphical artifacts along the horizon?
They are like flat black rectangles (up to 1cm x 2cm in size some of them are only dots though) that flash up every couple of seconds along the horizon.

Its not a hardware problem as I don't get them with GWX 16km atmosphere. I am using a nVidia GeForce 8800GTS 512MB (G92) with ForceWare 174.74 beta drivers.

cheers!

And thank you onelifecrisis, for your dedictaion to bringing us the best! Your mods rock! No wait... YOU ROCK!
