[REL] Improved Wave Textures

[onelifecrisis]

You can see the new wave textures in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGcFhXClDCY

Click the link in my sig to download the mod. :up:


PLEASE NOTE!
The new wave textures should only show in rough weather. To test the mod after downloading, I suggest launching the single mission "Bismark" which takes place in a storm.

[JCWolf]

Yep , also available at my place boys and girls!:yep: :arrgh!:

Download the mod here (http://files.filefront.com/ImprovedWaveTextureszip/;8510492;;/fileinfo.html).

I forgot to put a readme in it, but all it would have said is:

Thanks to JCWolf for hosting the mod!
This mod is JSGME ready.
Enjoy :)

Thanks folks!

It's great to be able to give a little something back to all the modders here.

I'm new to SH3 and was wondering if this mod is a standalone or is it used in combination with, like, Sober's 3D waves? I'm hoping my aging system will be able to handle it, the visual impact of the video you made is astounding!

[Hawk U-375]

THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!! Very MUCH!!!!!!!!! :rock: :rock:

This mod will work with any other mod and/or supermod except for Sober's 3D Waves. It's is an alternative to Sober's 3D Waves, not an addition to it.

Excellent mod:up: :yep:

Well I have downloaded twice.....JC Wolf...I couldnt get it from your site as the password Alarme does not seem to work..I did manage to get it from Onelifecrisis site...but..in any case I cant seem to get it to work and when I go into the data files and open the tga files...they are blank....Ideas??

Erm, no, no ideas. One question: what are you opening the TGA's with? Cos unless you open them in a proper editor (e.g. GIMP) you'll likely see nothing.

Not that this helps you much...

To rule out the easy stuff: did you test the mod in rough weather?

[Slick Rick]

Yes....but I think I have too many mods activated that deal with the water....I am going to disable them all and just activate your mod and see what happens....

[K Gunz]

Genedige Onelifecrisis,

You asked us to keep the praise coming (even though your head will expand sooooo big and explode). What a mod. I keep using the external camera on patrol now - just to have a look at the realism of the sea. Nice one. Keep up the excellent work :D.

[CapitanPiluso]

E X C E L L E N T !!!!

Thanks a lot

Yes he has to wear a special helmut now with a back brace so as not to break his neck, but he can live with this thorn in the side!:lol:
Good job OLC!:up:

[Einsman]

¡¡¡GREAT JOB!!! :up:

[Slick Rick]

smashing!!

[java`s revenge]

I have the feeling that i am realy sailing. I had the feeling but now its complete.

[Alyebard]

Excelent ! :up:

[angst72]

Nice effort, looks really good!:up:


Had to deactivate it though - it killed my framerate. I've got no problem with playing SH4 and get 60 FPS all the time except when I get a torpedo hit. In SH3 with your mod active I got 15-20 FPS and major stuttering as well. Ordinarily in SH3 I have 60 FPS constantly.

I have a Nvidia 8500 GT running at 700/500 btw. I've force 4xFSAA and 16AF through the control panel, maybe that's what giving me the bad FPS?

On my machine SH3 and AF are not such a good combination (which is unusual - in most games I can run AF very high with no noticable performance hit). Because of this I use low AF with SH3 and I've noticed no performance hit from my mod. However it's quite possible that using my mod with high AF would cause slowdown, seeing as how my mod basically replaces some low resolution textures with new higher resolution ones.

Did you try lowering the AF? Even just bringing it down to 8x might make all the difference.

The AA will have no impact on the performance of the mod.

I haven't tried lowering the AF, will do that tonight and give you feedback of my results.

[5string74]

Thanks for such a great mod. I was a commercial fisherman in the late 70's (off-shore scallopper out of Cape Cod) and my favorite part of that experience was the storms. It has been part of my attraction to SHIII and now you have brought me a lot closer to those memories and that sensation. Bravo!

[angst72]

I lowered the AF as you said - lo and behold! the stuttering and FPS slowdowns went away!

Thanks a lot, now I'm gonna use your mod all the time. :up:

[onelifecrisis]

:up: @ angst

5string74 - really? That's brilliant! :D Wow, I guess my own (relatively small amount of) time at sea must have paid off when I did this! hehe :smug:

[bert8for3]

Up and running with this since my last patrol finished yesterday. Just great! Tks much.
