...is improved shadows!
I mean, don't get me wrong, Racerboy's work on moving the special effects (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=121609) is absolutely BRILLIANT. Seriously, if you haven't tried it yet, you fail, go download and use this RIGHT NOW. It will work with any of the 'supermods', and it will simply blow your mind. It breathes new life into the game, and almost has me uninstalling Sh4 outright....but...
The only thing that really bugs me about Sh3 now is the shadows. Why does the 'shadow' side of people in the boat, boats and ships themselves, get illuminated? Cranking the gamma on my video card down and bumping the contrast up seems to help some, but it's a hack solution, and one Sh4 doesn't need. For some reason, there seems to be some 'universal lighting' in the game or something. Every surface seems to have some base level of illumination regardless of presence (or lack of) any light sources.
Is there a solution to this?
