Pacific environment 4 RELEASED

[kriller2]

More than 7500 downloads for PE4 at FileFront.

Top notch stuff, Kriller and company.

I wish Leovampire was here to see it.

Keep up the good stuff, gents! :salute:

Hi Kpt Lehmann, thanks. Yes it's fantastic that so many people have downloaded the mod, but now I will have to take the mod down and upload somewhere else because of FF is soon no more.

You to :) looking forward to see what the GWX team comes up with, btw if there is anything in PE4 or the new environment mod you want to add to GWX then you have my permission to do so as long as you credit the modders of either PE4 or RE :salute:

[kriller2]

I have been very busy of late, so haven't been reading the forums a lot, but I fixed the white lines bug and the glow around the waterline. :hmmm:. What's going on?

Don't no Nisgeis, I think it's the good old bug where the submarine glows when in shallow water :hmmm:

You can upload it here yourself if you like. I would of course whole-heartedly suggest you put it up at www.bts-mods.com (http://www.bts-mods.com). Then it will be doubly protected, and you won't ever get warnings about it being taken down.

[kiwi_2005]

is there a pitch/roll mod for operation monsun's Uboats coming in version 5?

much needed bit of immersion that is missing from german campaigns in my opinion, stock boats are to stiff in the water.


Agree PE4 roll/pitch doesn't work in OM, my uboat just rides straight through the waves no roll/pitch nothing not even a slight roll in very heavy seas not even a dive just straight and ridget all the way. Kills the game that i loaded up US campaign where everything works how it should, my boat is like a yo yo.

OM needs a fix for the pitch/roll cause its a very good mod and the only Atlantic campaign mod i play atm.

Chaps.

Have received my U-Boat Missions disc from UBI today. Which I believe patches me up to 1.5

I have tried to download PE-4 from the link provided in Kriller2's first post, but it would appear the link is broken. I searched FF for any related files, but no luck.

Is PE4 mirrored anywhere? Any help appreciated.

Thank you - JS

Indeed it seems to be gone from FF.
Well, then it's good to have SHMF. :D
So check this link (http://www.silenthuntermods.com/forum/index.php?topic=144.0)... :03:

Many thanks indeed for the alternative download link Carotio.

Download from your site went without a hitch - tousand tak.

Hello to everybody.

I`m new here. I have got SH 4 v1.4. Today I have installed mods to check them out. But the whole sea is much better without any mod. I tried with Real Environment and Pacific environment.

Here is a sample picture of stock SH4 :

Here is example with Real Environment, the problem is the same :/

Ahh, I understand what you are talking about now. "Realism" is such a subjective thing... But if you look at these pictures of the South Pacific:

http://www.fotosearch.com/photos-images/south-pacific-ocean.html

You will see that the coloring is actually very realistic. :)

The coloring in the original would be more like what you find in temperate water like the West Coast of the united states, or colder waters like the Atlantic Ocean.

Also, I think the waves are more realistic in the mod, but that's very much a subjective opinion of mine.

I hope the pictures help!!! :)

Cool, we've established that it was working right at least. Now you can take comfort in the fact that your choice was made with the mod working as it should. :)

[Syxx_Killer]

I'm late to the party (as always :oops:). I downloaded PE4 yesterday and saw the special effects for TMO 1.52 folder. Will that be ok with TMO 1.7 or will it conflict with it?

Edit:

I am an idiot! I just now realized that I wanted to post in the Real Environments thread and not this one. Guess I should surface the boat more often, huh?

[FritzRommel]

i cant donwload this file, the link sends me to filefront's main page, where do i go from there?

I wish someone would update the first post with links to mirrors for the file or even reupload it to FileFront.

[Armistead]

[TwinStackPete379]

Where is a good link for this mod, the PE4 link is dead for me.

[SubV]

Maybe I`m wrong, but the sea doesn`t look so realistic like in SH4 without any mod.
I completely agree with you on that. Both RE and PE introduce absolutely unrealistic, wrong view on pacific environment.

Some non-enhanced photos of Ford Island, Hawaii:

[Munchausen]

Some non-enhanced photos of Ford Island, Hawaii....

Whether you're pro or con the royal blue ocean of almost all environmental mods, photos are seldom "non-enhanced." Most 35mm cameras use UV or similar filters in front of the lense to cut down on glare ... and 35mm film is color-correcred for certain temperatures of light. Digital cameras usually have coated lenses that alter color and offer menu options for color adjustments to differing light sources.

[Raven08]

It's all preference. There is no 'right or wrong'. If you like stock use that, if not load a mod. :yep: Griping because others use cosmetic mods to change the game seems a bit odd though.

[SubV]

You must be right, guys - I never been to Hawaii myself, so I can't judge things I never seen. It just looks quite unrealistic to me.

Now I use some tweaks for Real and Pacific Environment mods, made by member of russian forum Sukhoi.ru. Here's some screenshots:

LOL for every picture you can show of seas that don't look like PE4, I can show you one that does. So much depends on the time of day, year, weather, etc. that there is no "right" or "wrong."

Personally I've seen for myself water around Hawaii that looks like in PE4 - and NOT! :)

I am trying to install the PE 4 mod into Silent Hunter 4. I have the mod enabler JSGME and a MODS file both in the in the games DATA file. But, it does not seem to want to enable PE 4.:hmmm:

Ha-ha! You fell for the same thing I did on my first install attempt! You need to install JSGME to the base installation path, NOT your DATA folder! I'm thinking it's a common mistake... because no one really reads the instructions included in the setup. ;) Odds are now you have a DATA folder in your DATA folder, too.

I believe the fix is to uninstall the mods using JSGME, delete the extra DATA folder, move the MODS folder to the base install path, uninstall then reinstall JSGME to the proper folder.

Do you have a URL for those tweaks? I love stock water and sky colours. IMHO for a number of technical reasons one can never get truly realistic environmental colours, so I prefer ones with an artistic flair.

Unfortunately the major mods nowadays all have some kind of PE/RE rolled into their releases, so there is no longer any real option not to use them.

i hope you remembered to uninstall the mods "before" you started deleting and moving stuff?

if not just uninstall and reinstall the game. its quicker and you'll be sure its fixed instead of trying to correct the corruption and undo what you did.

I'm thinking that if it was installed to the wrong folder, it just copied all the mod files to the wrong folder, too. If I remember correctly, when I installed it to the data folder instead pf the install path, it made a data folder of its own inside the real data folder. I believe it makes the mods to a path relative to itself instead of relative to the install directory.

Bill

[Thjan]

Could you PLEASE upload the mod somewhere? The pictures look awesome!

I served two years in the navy and tried only the real environment mod so far but somehow it feels unrealistic to me so I'd stick to the vanilla water because this has at least some artistic flair.

I'm really new to this, but I downloaded PE-4 and got it to work well except for one thing: the fire (like when a plane crashes into the ocean or when a ship is sinking) becomes blocky and pixelated after I put the mod on (I followed the directions to a T). Is this normal or is it possible I've done something wrong?

I apologize. This beautiful Mod will work with patch 4.1 or me need something else for it to work? I want to try. UBoat mission I do not have, and repair_blocky_fire.7z I downloaded. Sorry for bad english :oops:

[Hylander_1314]

I used this with 1.4, pre uboat add-on. If you use any of the older super mods like TMO, or RFB though, you may cause some things not to work very good. If you want a mod to use this with, try the GFO (Game Fixes Only) mod and this should work great.

[Yarodan]

Thanks, Hylander_1314. I use only sh4 and patch 1.04, why I do not know what mode you can use without having to patch 1.5 :( Get tips and try another download GFO :smug:

These mods look awesome. Was just wondering if

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe RE is just the most recent iteration of Pacific Environments. If you like what you see, use RE.

[rein1705]

is this compadible or is it included in TMO 2.1? :hmmm:
Can i run this with TMO would it change things good or bad?

[Armistead]

TMO includes it's own enviroment mod, tweaked with aspects of all the enviroment mods. You don't need it and I think Ducimas has always said other enviroment mods aren't tweaked to work with TMO.

Armistead is right, Ducimus has tweaked the Environmental Mods to fit TMO and after you've played it for a little while you'll appreciate what a terriific job he has done. :yeah:

[rein1705]

I have TMO i just never tried the enviromental mods so i didnt know. I am verry happy with TMO as it is but ... courious none the less.

[Hylander_1314]

Ducimus incorporated a lot of this mod into TMO from I think 1.9 up, and made a few tweaks to it so it would fit his settings for things.

And yes the readme for TMO warns against using other enviornmental mods as it can break the game.

[chrysanthos]

i know this is not the right place but can you tell me where i can find quick missions for surface ships only?

[chrysanthos]

i was thinking about a sea mod with wildlife some fishes along the sub:D

[Dogfish40]

Can anyone tell me if GFO is compatible with Pacific Environment 4. If so, is it compatible with all the folders.
Or, do I have to sacrifice GFO to use Pac Env. I would like to swap between the two to see which environment mod I prefer but I don't want to lose GFO if possible.
If anyone could suggest a way I could try Pac Env with GFO I woould appriciate it.
Thanks.
Dogfish 40 :salute:
PS: If there is a thread with this info just point the way.

[chrysanthos]

hello captains:D guess what....i am made some tests about the fire on ships and when i press the time compression about 4 or 8 the fires dissapears! does this mean that the sailors put them out? or it is a bug?

[chrysanthos]

anyway the fire texture must be from silent hunter 5 right? because i have seen it there too....but it does not spread to the ship so it can make more damage to the compartments...oh well.....

[Armistead]

Fire can be put out as well as other repairs. They're values that can be adjusted regarding fire damage in a certain zone, so that it will spread within that zone, but as far as I know it doesn't travel to another zone, someone else would have to answer that.
