[REL]Yet another green atlantic above & below - Murky!

[Reece]

Hi, well thanks to Yamato9 for pointing me to the Color Inspector application I did a bit of tinkering and came up with the following version of the atlantic with slight Green on top with blue tinge in sunlight reflections and a murky green below:

And in a stormy sea:

Obviously it hasn't been tried in all conditions but should be ok, the file is JSGME ready & now has 3 variations to choose from:

For those using SHIV Scene for SHIII:

Enjoy!:yep:
Cheers.

Damn Reece, that looks bloody awesome :o :up: :rock:

[Philipp_Thomsen]

Great Reece! :up:

The sea looks really good... I've a question tho... I use another of your mods, the New sh4 scene 8k 2.3, the one that improve the reflections... this new one have already the improved reflections or I'll have to choose between one or another?

[Reece]

The pictues above are with my SH4 Scene mod and should go ok with all versions of SH3, what I suggest is thet you disable the SH4 Scene mod then replace the old EnvColors_Atl.dat file in the mod above with the new one then re-enable the mod.:yep:
I will do a new version of the SH4 Scene.dat & upload it later.:D
Edit: My mistake, that release of SH4 Scene for SH3 does not include Env files so just enable both mods, I will still do a new version though!

[Philipp_Thomsen]

Thanks Reece, youre the man! :up:

For me, eye candy is as important as realism! (or even more)

[Reece]

Only too happy to help!:yep:

IMPORTANT NOTE: I just found that in a storm (no rain) overcast with lightning the surface cloud reflections have a purple tinge, so I am working on clearing this up, if anyone else is trying this please let me know of other problems.
Thanks.

[Julius Caesar]

Reece, great work :up:
Before I start using it, are there any problems with this scene.dat file? does it change any fog values?
Also, any compatibility issues with gwx 2.0 (2.1)?
Thanks.

[CapZap1970]

Very nice, Reece! :up: I realy like the Atlantic with that green touch! :up:
Thank you
CapZap

[Reece]

Hi, sorry about the first version problem,:oops: it's now sorted out and the first post has been updated, overcast now::D

Hi,

I like Your atlantic,

Thanks!
Paco

[yamato9]

Excellent work Reece!:rock:
I realy like your green top and murky below color, DL now.:up:

[Venatore]

It funny how some of the more simpler mods can become my favourite [like this one]. Thanks Reece for the update [PM]. Have downloaded it and is cambered as one of my must have mods :rock:

[Adriatico]

Looks gorgeous Reece, should try it tonight :|\\ :up: :|\\

I was wondering, one other thing:

I used SH4 scene.dat with various tweakings, but very often, at rough windy conditions, there are "dark" sub reflections on both sides of vessel...

Normally, from players point of view, they should appear on closer side, not over the deck on the far side, doesnt look natural...

Do you have any experience how to get rid of it ?
Is it related to reflection deformation value in scene.dat ?

[Reece]

Not knowing what you did I could not suggest anything, and certainly nothing rings a bell, however I do recall a SH4 mod for getting rid of the waterline around the boat, this may be worth pursuing, sorry I cant be of any more help, another option is to go back to a previous version then re-tweak that.:yep:

[Adriatico]

Reece,
it has nothing to do with my tweaks, it seems to be general issue with SH4>SH3...

This is your screen from the top of thread,... if You follow yellow arrows, it should ring a bell:

http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/4745/atlanticcolors5arp2.jpg

Reflections "under" boat look great :up: but those "pointed" at far side should not be there,... or at least should be 1/3 of present intensity level.

Resolving a direction of reflections with SH4 scene.dat would be a real step forward...

Anybody...?? :huh:

[Reece]

It may be a SH4 Scene thing but it is in my opinion not out of place when viewed in game, just appears as though it's a dark reflection of the boat, depending on angle, of the part of the boat that is submerged, makes the water appear to be transparent, I like it!:yep:

[Uber Gruber]

It appears as if this mod is visually better when using SH4 scene file. I run GWX 2.0 with the 16KM scene file and the resulting atlantic sea mod is much greener than your screenshots suggest. Is it possible that this mod could be made compatible with the 16KM scene dat from GWX 2.0 ?

Thanks...

[Jimbuna]

Perhaps it could do with a little lightening.

After an attack it is reminiscent of an oil leak. (now there's a thought) :hmm:

[Reece]

Uber Gruber, addmitedly I'm using GWX 1.3 with SH4 Scene at the moment, I will look into the GWX 2 version, I wouldn't have thought there'd be any difference though!:)

The picture is of the first version, the second may be a little different but I will have a closer look Jim, I assume you are referring to what Adriatico is talking about?:-?

[Myxale]

Looks too cool! :up:
You did a great job!

[linerkiller]

Very cool Reece!:D :up: :cool:

PS: Can you post a link with the VIIB skin shown in your screens? I lost it some times ago and I didnt found it again:88)
thx you;)

[schnorchel]

Great work Reece:up:
Could u make a 16k verion?:D

[Ivan Putski]

Really nice Reece, thanks. Puts:up:

[Reece]

Hi, just got back from the big smoke & due to many requests, even by PM, I will be awhile before I can offer different versions but will as soon as I can.
@ linerkiller, the skin is:
Lutzow VIIC Camo Red Hull GraF and available here::yep:
http://hosted.filefront.com/Lutzow1
Cheers.

[Adriatico]

Mate, I am convinced that you are the most experienced modder of SH4 scene.dat, so just a small suggestion...

I've seen in this new download a "more reflective" option:

It could be nice to include "less reflective" version, something that would be just a bit more reflective than GWX scene.dat...
Should be very popular among GWX community...

Just an idea... :yep: :up:

[Reece]

YESS MASTER! I'll see what I can do, it's on the list!:D

[onelifecrisis]

YESS MASTER! :rotfl:

BTW beautiful work as usual. :rock:

[Reece]

Nothing like the fantastic Improved wave textures but working on it!;)

[Uber Gruber]

Thanks Reece. Is the GWX 16KM scene dat based on the SH4 Scene file or SH3 Scene file, I believe its the latter but perhapps yourself or one of the GWX team could confirm.

[Adriatico]

Nothing like the fantastic Improved wave textures but working on it!;)__________________

Another vote for a gorgeous wave textures! :yep: :up: :yep: :up:

Still can't understand that it missed GWX , one of the few things that really has changed SH3 visuals :lol: :|\\ :lol:

:up:

[Reece]

Well I have done a GWX 2 16k version, I have done another 8k version as well & I think it's even better! I have no way of testing the 16k version & will have to have volunteers for that, One thing though, until I get approval from the GWX team I cannot release it, so if anyone from the team reading this can give approval please respond.:yep:
Many thanks,
Reece.

[Tomi_099]

Absolutely interesting subject!!
If it is to be taken over possibly the water from SH4 in SH3 :up:

[Reece]

Whilst waiting for the 16k approval I have found errors in the previous versions, how I managed it I'll never know!:lol: anyway the new version comes with 3 variations to choose from, have updated post #1.:yep:

Just by the way, this mod can be changed mid patrol, no problems.

[Jimbuna]

Responded to your PM ;)

[Reece]

Yes thanks Jim, another PM has been sent!:yep:
@ Adriatico, BTW, the latest SH4 Scene mod now has 3 reflective levels to choose from.
Also the displayed pictures are, of course, with OLC's Improved wave textures.

[Uber Gruber]

@Reece,

I'll be happy to test it for GWX 16K version. I'm pretty sure you'll get the go ahead from GWX team, can't see why not.

Cheers.....

[java`s revenge]

Reece,
You did a great job!!

I really like the new realistic colour now.

Thanks for the time to make it.

[Jimbuna]

Yes thanks Jim, another PM has been sent!:yep:

Great job! But we still need fish, grass, and rocks on the bottom of the sea!

[gAiNiAc]

Reece,

Very nice, is this GWX compatible, what skin is that on your boat?

Martin

[Reece]

is this GWX compatible, what skin is that on your boat?
Gee, this is a stale thread!!:lol:
I couldn't tell you the boat skin, the green atlantic mod has been done in 8k & 16k, for GWX & non GWX, readme included.:yep:

[alexradu89]

hey all, i really like this mod but the links are not working anymore... can someone help please ?

[Venatore]

Hey Recce,

Mate I don't suppose you would have in your possession a variant of the green murky water mod in 8k instead of the 16k :hmmm:

Kind regards :salute:

Venatore.

PS: I still think this is the best water mod in the SHIII game :up:

[Reece]

Core, who resurrected this old thread!!:03: I'll see if I can find it Venatore!:yep:
Edit: OK, I just checked my download page and its combined, just look in the documentation folder:

Also this is my Blue Atlantic:

Hey Reece,

Thank you for your light-speed reply by the way :o

Kind Regards

...Hi Reece,

in meantime there was the 3e version of that mod released ...

[java`s revenge]

Reece,
I do like your green water. Is it combinable with olc gold mkII ?
And from where can i download it now?

[Reece]

@java`s revenge & SSB, I will check, I had 3 pages on FileFront when they closed and decided to delete everything, been too lazy to upload it all again :doh: especially with SH5 just around the corner, I will have to search my old DVD files to see what's there!!:oops::yep:
@NGT, I only have an 8k version, do you still want it, I did a 16k and 8k atmosphere but I didn't bother pursuing the 16k since OLC's was excellent, seemed silly to go down that path!:yep:

[Venatore]

Yes please, I still want it. I don't use OLC'S 16k. I prefer MEP2.1 with DarkWater option.

I search always new suggestions, especially for underwater colours / environment.

Thanks in advance. :salute:

@ java`s revenge, just go to my download page it's there, should be ok with OLC's mod, install before a new patrol or try with a submarine academy mission for a test, any problems just remove it.:yep:

Cheers.

[java`s revenge]

Thanks Reece. I had already downloaded the mod.
I will try it and revert back.

[java`s revenge]

It works :up:

I am glad with the greenish water.
