Default (TEC )Disabling water reflections....

Hi folks,

I have been disabling some of the water reflections as it relates to the Type VIIC with S3D. Conning tower, guns, periscope etc. Just don't like how they look.

Anyone know what dat file controls near where the limber holes are ( towards the stern ). See the below, not a fan of that reflection, want to also disable it.

You should search in 7c dat file, if this is not a mod conflict.

I don't think it is a mod conflict. Have never seen it before I started doing the above. I am going to check that dat again you mention.

Thanks.

That is not a stock or GWX reflection.

Solved the periscope reflection and I think the crew on deck shadow. There was even a node for the caps the crew on deck were wearing :-) But there are still a couple of smaller reflections ( see below ) that I want to disable.

Any ideas what these reflections may be tied to? Thanks

This is what I meant - when one of the mod files overwrites the orginal file.
Nice to know, that a problem is solved in 99%.

Check all VIIC dat files once again, the ones from mods, and orginal files.
EDIT; Also the conning tower files.
AND... - Great find Tycho!

I did a double-check and found a few more. Flakmonkey wasn't kidding when he said it was tedious work

Thanks.
