Good day to all those willing to read my request.

I'm searching for some information or help on the underwater visibility. Befor patching to 1.5 i have downloadet a mod from someone here that increased the visibility underwater, alas after the upgrade it appears this mod is not working anymore, and now i find myselve her with the hope of someone beeing able to tell me where i can find the data on clearing this up and how to do it.

I already have the mini tweaker downloaded, but since my programming genes are still frozen from that last ice age a dare not touch it without knowing what to look for. So here is my request if one of the Modder's could help me out by telling me where to find the data on reducing the "floaters" and increesing the visibility range underwater.

I know it's probably a lot to ask but i hope that if it proves to be to mutch knowhow to explain it someone would be able to help me get the "Scene" file with about 200 to 250 meters, or 260 yards of visibility so i can take my underwather screenies on SH4 once more...

All help would be grately apreciated and i'd like to thank al those for reading my post. I hope to find some help here since aparently this is the site to be since getting re-directed to SubSim time and time again...

Thank you!

What you really need is the Silent 3ditor to change the settings in the scene.dat.

I'll look tonight and tell you exactly which setting.

Thanks for the post Mikhayl, unfortunatly my programming skills are about as good as that of a chipmunk. Honestly i realy don't get one bit of the post you providet. I'm realy sorry to tell you this thou becouse i apreciate the help you are offering grately. I do have the mini tweaker for SH4 but honestly, i dare not touch it for i know my skills and am afraid i'll mess up the entire game (witch i unfortunatly did two times already and had to get my brother over to reinstall everything from scratch)...

If i knew where to find the part to change and how to do it i would do it in a heartbeat, unfortunalty i'm afraid that i am one of those hopeless casses that tends to need a little bit more explanation than others...:damn:

Related things:

1. "Kosch Reduced Floater" mod that reduces the plankton and hence the swimming through soup appearence, see here:

2. You can get rid of the (totally unrealistic) underwater shimmer by doing the following. Open the file Underwater.pfx in SilentHunter4\Data\Filters folder (use Notepad) and eliminate the shimmer by setting UnderwaterDispMap to 0.000. Looks much better.
