Kriller/WC,

I sticked this mod as it is getting a lot of activity. I will leave up the older version for those that have trouble running this mod and can revert back to the previous version.

Just for curiosity, I tried the game under Win7 beta with this mod and aniso 16x (nHancer), and the game was really silk (way better than XP). Don't know why under XP with aniso sometimes there are stutters and sometimes not (just to be safe, leave it app controlled and it will be fine all the way under XP).
This happens with nVidia. Don't know about ATI cards.

Hi Folks,

this Mod is just AWESOME, couldn´t believe my eyes when I saw those realistic waves!

Sadly I encountered serious trouble though... I installed the New Real Environment mod using JSGM on stock SH4 1.5 (playing U-Boat mission at the moment).

Now after installing the mod (whole pack) I cannot really control diving any longer. My U-Boat just ignores "A"-key or clicking the gauge and just keeps on sinking unless I hit "e" (emergency blow) several times. I cannot even dive to periscope death, i´ll just keep on sinking. Any solutions?

Thanks for answers,

Cheers, AS

Hi A.S.

I dont know what could cause your problem but you can allways try and
unistall the mod pack and then try the game whitout any mods.
If you still have the problem after you have uninstalled the hole pack i suggest you do a re-install of the game.

Then you can go on by installing each mod at a time and start whit the No 1 mod/folder first. That is the most essential folder.

Then if it works ok you can install the others, one by one by testing each one. By that you will "pinpoint" what folder that cause the problem.

Its most likely that it is the pitch and roll mod that cause it since that mod is the only one that affect the submarines files directly. If the problem lays whiting the enviroment mod it self of course.

Hi again,

please can someone help me, I´ve got problems keeping depth since I installed the mod. Pressing the "p", "d", or "A" keys or setting depth manually using the gauge just causes the sub to sink deeper and deeper. Only way to escape is hitting "e" (emergency blow) for several times. Is it possible that this is caused by the mod or just coincidence? I use stock SH4 1.5 U-Boat mission, clean and new install, no other mods.

Ups, just writing these lines I got Vikinger´s reply, thank you very much. Yes, I also think it must have to do with the roll and pitch mod, but if so, other people should have the same problems I have, don´t you think? I´m a "SH veteran" and SH4 has always run smoothly with and without mods. Strange that all of a sudden this one super mod causes trouble. Can anyone confirm the diving problem?

Thanks for help,

Cheers, As

I got some kind of problem with the depth control ,after installing some mods , when I am on the surface of the sea and want to go to periscope depth , I adjust the gauge on the right/bottom side of the screen but even with the engines on , take a loooooooooooot of time to dive to periscope depth , in silent hunter 3 was never problem, in SH3 when was necessary to change the depth , the change of depth occur somehow normal enought fast progression

I didn't even realize this was released until just now!

I have a few questions:
Does having gamma correction on in nVidia AA still kill the lighting effects, and does the engine still cough up a hairball when coming out of super-time compression?

These aren't dealbreakers, but I was just curious.

this is understated! im glad i saw this...thank you for this tip! made a gigantic difference. much smoother now on external views.

*Love* the water reflections in this mod.

But the transparency of the ocean surface could be reduced in my opinion. It takes away the mysterious look when the sub is diving and gives it more of a bath tub feel.

What would have to be done to tweak this ?

ichso · 04-29-09, 01:04 AM

And another question:

The mod seems to make the water surface very reflective. This looks good at daytimes but the nights are way to brightened up by that. In a night almost without any moon I was able to spot a ship several 1000s of yards before my crew was able to, or before the ship was able to spot me.

If I take screenshots during the night, they look pitchblack, as it should be. But the game itself displays the water surface much much brighter.

Any way to edit this, and which would that be ?

I agree 100%, especially as in the Atlantic this transparency looks most weird.

In my opinion the transparency of the water in this Mod is Good Perfect Excellent Wonderful Amazing Astonishing Awesome Marvellous
