Props for Thomsen's 3.0 Water

[HuskerNlincoln]

Morning gents,

Just had to say that I installed Thomsen's 3.0 water and"OH MY GOD"is all I can say. It really has made the viewing amazing.

I included a few shots for your enjoyment.

Thanks you to Mr. Thompsen and all the other modders who have taken this game to the next level!:rock:

Thanks mate! That was very kind! :up:

But I just did the water, you should really thank OLC for his awesome environment.
My part on this mod was very simple compared to his work.

Also, this V3 version has a bug with night time, water looking too bright. There's already a correction for this, V3.1, you should try it! :up:

This version 3 makes me want to stop my U-Boat and go to the rear AA gun deck and do a couple of hours fishing while taking the beautiful and peaceful effects of the ocean …..aircraft spotted …dam this war :nope: Didn't even have chance to catch one :down:

When should this mod be installed: while in port during a career, only at the beginning of a new career, etc.?

I'm asking because I installed ver. 3.1 while at sea in an ongoing career, and the result was a totally black sky. I uninstalled it and the graphics were back to normal. BTW, I should mention that I had exactly the same experience with the 16 km distance mod.

Dito on all...

A toast to PT for all his great work..

I would suggest enabling it before you go out on patrol; I'm not sure if it can be enabled safely mid-career. Same deal for a lot of other mods; enabling or disabling them while at sea can really frig things up (black skies, ctds, etc.).

[Philipp_Thomsen]

This game can be enabled in my patrol IF you enable it on top of the latest version of OLCE2.

This mod really shouldn't be enabled if you don't have OLCE2.

This mod is 16km version, just as OLCE2.

This mod is in fact a TWEAK FOR OLCE2.

:up:

[HuskerNlincoln]

I would agree with the others, I have been following the rule that you should only install mods, any mods, when back at base after a patrol.

Regarding this water mod, it really adds alot to the game, the 3.1 version did fix the blueness of the water to be more realistic, so much so that it is taking everything I have to leave Lorient at midnight, I'm having to navigate out via the light houses and buoys.

My wife will be gone for the weekend, and am looking forward to some involved and extended time with the game.

You guys... trading wifes for mods... :nope:

:rotfl: :lol: :up:

[Red Heat]

wrong...trading wifes for mods AND BEER! :lol:
What you think we are!? lol

[Commander Gizmo]

This mod adds so much to the game, but causes some problems too. Now my sky looks fabricated and the ships look like collections of pollygons. I think you just raised the bar TP!

What :o ......are you sure you are using the right version ??? :nope:

Are you sure you have also installed OLCE2 first and then Thomsen's Water 3.1

[SeaWolf U-57]

If you are having problems please checkout the last page of this thread it should help ...

[HuskerNlincoln]

Sorry that you're having problems. I don't have the OLC even loaded but just GWX 2.1 with other mods, and it looks fine.

I wish I could help, but I'm not too sure what has happened to your system.:doh:

[Commander Gizmo]

Hmm... I guess I can be rather cryptic. OLE2 and GWX 2.1 look great, just as they always have. The problem is just that the water looks so much better now that everything else looks a little more fake.

This mod is in fact a TWEAK FOR OLCE2.:up:
While in port between missions in an existing career, I installed OLCE2 (plus OLCE2 Adjusted...Crew Skins, OLCE2 Adjusted...Enhanced Damage Effects, OLCE2 Fixed...Ship Reflections) and then Thomsen's 3.0 Water. I also uninstalled the GWX mods that the OLC Ubermod readme file said must not be used.

When I resumed the career, I got a CTD. I removed the new mods, reinstalled the original GWX mods, and all was well. I'm thinking that it may be best to install these mods and then start a new career.

BTW, all of the images I've seen showing off these mods are external camera views. I don't use the external camera. Are there any images of the view from the bridge when using them?

There are none, but I assure you that the water looks all the same! :up:
