I'm looking for method to get rid of the plankton or at least lower it's occurrence.
IMHO they really overdid it. :nope:

I belive Hartmann posted that one could delete, rename or move the impurity.dds.
But that's not working for me, the water will lose it's transparency in underwater situations. :-?

Is there a mod or way to reduce it?

It's called Kosh reduced floaters and dates waaaay back in April '07.

I use the reduced plankton and also ditched the unrealistic wavey shimmer. Open Underwater.pfx in SilentHunter4 \Data\Filters folder (use Notepad) and eliminate the shimmer by setting UnderwaterDispMap to 0.000. Looks a hundred times better and less like you are drunk.

Cheers,

RD.

You could just delete them completly by deleting the impurity.dds

As I posted I tried that and it's not working for me. It will create a bug and the water will lose its transparency completely. :-?

Anyway that reduced plankton mod is good solution for me. :yep:

I will check on this shimmer mod later.

Same here. I experienced the same effect when deleting impurity.dds. This is why I am currently using Kosh's fix, which works fine.

Most games don't work very well after you've deleted a few files from them.

Go figure.:doh:
