Pacific Environments 4

– New sun sets and sun rises, with a more realistic cycle from yellow to orange / red.
– New realistic bow wave, thanks to Demonizer for using his mod as a base for my work.
– New modified pitch and roll to make the submarine/u-boat sail deeper, but still have roll
and pitch.
– New sea foam from Wclears EE mod, modified to match the blue sea-colour of PE4.
– New scene and clouds for more realistic waves and environment colours.
– Missing underwater bubbles and roll pitch for S-18, S-42 and U-boat added for TM and
stock SH4.
– New water shader by Nisgeis to support shallow transparent water including changes so
you now can see the sub submerged from a high altitude.

sunsets with PPF.

Those shots look AMAZING!!! Thanks for all your hard work making SH4 look prettier!

[Xantrokoles]

In German I would say: '' VOLL DE HONISCH!''
(Use it as a big compliment!)

Maybe I can make a small appeal...

I sailed on a high-seas liner to an Island in the Northsea a year ago. We had a ordinary storm and there were waves, higher and not so long pulled like them in Row.
I really love Row, but the stormy waves from WClear are IMO amazing.
I don't know wether you can exhaust the limit of the waves high still a little bit, but when you get it, this would be as great as the whole mod.

[Vorkapitan]

Kriller you dood it again!! Great work!!

I thought I noticed a water pattern (repeating) emerging from your last update..
Maybe just me being too picky.

[Ducimus]

Looks great Kriller! I like how the water looks like a deep rich blue towards the bottom of the first screenshot. I was no real world sailor, but i have spent a few weeks on charter fishing boats, and, i kinda wish i had a rock cod rig to drop over the side, or a big fat yellowfin to reel in now. :rotfl:

Allso I would like to reduce the effect of the Post process filters, because they are to much, so if anyone know how to do that?,

skwasjer might be the man to talk to about that. I know hes done some nifty editing to the PPF in the past.

[MONOLITH]

Awesome kriller. Awesome.

[ReallyDedPoet]

Looks great kriller

I know a bit of shader language yes, and I think WClear does as well. Not sure who else but there's a few others too. If I can be of help let me know what specifically you want. I'm a bit short on time though and vacation is near so it may have to wait.

[SteveW1]

Damn that looks AWESOME can't wait to see more

[The Fishlord]

Awesome start kriller. I've always loved PE/ROW from the moment I saw it.

Is the jelly water going to be removed in this version? It's always there for me...

[THE_MASK]

added more arrays to the wave properties by the look of it ?

[linerkiller]

kriller.....this is ****ing REAL!

[Fish40]

Another first!! Looks fantastic!

HI Skwasjer, I would like to reduce the sharpness and colour change of the ppf filter so that the result would be somewhere in the middle of these 2 pictures:

PPF on


PPF off


This would remove the bug with ocean getting black when there is high waves and sunsets, because if I turn of the ppf-filter at sunsets, you can suddenly see the right colour of the ocean instead of the black colour.
I have tried fiddling with the shader files, yesterday, but there are alot and when I do something im not sure what would happen :p

Right now I only have four wave properties, I tried adding more wave properties and then it was double the trouble to remove bugs from the waves.

Thanks Fishlord. I haven't seen any jelly water while testing, but there is a problem with the waves suddenly looses it's quality when going in TC and the wave properties should shift to another, which I have to figure out.
