Beautyful job the GWX team has done:yep:

It's so real and natural , and lok at the long wake behind my sub:lol:

All the efforts and hard works theose guys in GWX had done:)


WE SALUTE YOU ALL:rock:

Don't forget....OLC had a big part to play in it http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

[meduza]

Big thanks to GWX team and OLC! Your hard work is appreciated. :up:

[Schöneboom]

Jawohl, 16 km ROCKS! Don't leave port without it! :rock:

[jaxa]

Yeah, 16km atmosphere looks very well indeed.
But it would be look better with white caps of waves like in real - is it possible to create it?.
Using GWX 2.1 I had enabled Sober's 3D Waves mod, which make waves better looking, but in GWX 3.0 it doesn't work so good.

[onelifecrisis]

...a big part...

:shifty:

I made the whole thing FFS. It took months! A thousand customised colours, half a dozen new environment textures made from scratch, not to mention the various graphical bug fixes... then you guys reset three things to stock values (underwater visibility distance, bumpmap scale, moon reflection) and now my involvement is "a big part"? :nope:

Just messing. :p

No I'm not.

Yes I am. :yep:

I'm not sure 'what' you did but... in addition to the new superior look....

Are the framerates better with this new enviroment in 3.0??

They seem to be much better, especially around land.:rock:

OLC, thanks for all your work :up:
OLCE is fundamental part of GWX 3.0, before version 3.0 was absolutely must have for many player. When I discovered your OLCE I understood how it change this game, not only in visual aspect (although it looks perfect). The most important thing for me is possibility to attack convoys on surface in deep nights without detection (only when night is really dark night), like it was in real war patrols during WW2.
Thanks again.

[iambecomelife]

I installed GWX 3.0 for the first time last night, as part of the testing for my mod. I got chills as I went to the external cam & looked at the horizon. OLC +GWX really captures the epic feel of the Atlantic battle like nothing else. The war rages, the Tribal's are out there somewhere hunting for you, and you may come home with 50,000 tons or not come home at all... fine work by all those involved. :up:

[Contact]

Yep, it is amazing how much can people do to the game with the moding knowledge and enthusiasm they have. Every time I think that it is it they reached the limit of possibilities, moders still do something unimaginable good.

All we need is good men obviuosly :up:

[jaxa]

OLC, is it possible to add some whitecaps on waves in GWX 3.0? It would be look more real.

[StarLion45]

:o Whitecaps on wakes ??? :o

All joking aside....there should be absolutely no doubt amongst the community who created the OLC environment mod http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

There are certain mods that fall into a different category. I can not speak of the 2 other large mods because frankly I've not used them. However I've used a fair amount and these stand out to me.

Uber: Defined as must have, must use, must see, must experience.

GWX 2.1
OLCE 2.0
RB_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03
Lifeboats for SH3
Rowers for SH3
SH3 Commander

This is the perfect combination for me.

I'm still want to add the real water effects to the u-boat but this does very well.

You should be proud OLC, your work is amazing. ^5ss

Here you are :




http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/7192/screenshotwakesfm9.jpg

It should be more whitecaps over waves in my opinion, especially when wind is 15m/sec, see "Das Boot" for instance, if you didn't see ocean during storm. I don't know if it is possible, but I'm on patrol now at North Atlantic with storm 15m/sec and I don't see any whitecaps, only black water :hmm:

I reckon there are many more could be added to that list (depending on individual preferences) but without taking sides with regard to other super mods and general mods might I suggest JSGME is more than worthy of inclusion. :hmm:

OLC is a narcissistic, arrogant, self-aggrandizing pompous glory-hog. And those are just his good points!
:rotfl:

Seriously, though - great job. It truly does make a differenct the first time you see it.:rock:

[StarLion45]

:-? Here it's 15km wind blowing and it is natural whitecaps:yep:
if anyone adding more whitecaps it is unatural and not so real:yep:
I think this looking so natural to me:hmm: :

Hey, I have many more good points than that one (kudos to you for finding five ways of saying it though). I'll have you know that I'm also elitist, hypocritical, judgemental, mentally unstable, envious, and much more.

My bad points are that I've never murdered, assaulted, vandalised or stolen, and (worst of all) I can count on my fingers the number of times in my life that I've knowingly lied.

But hey, at least I'm trying to change.

Ha! Alright. If you you being in Twickenham and me having a job ever happen at the same time then you're on. I'm not sure if they have nukey brown around here, though. You might have to drink southern ale instead.

I hope nobody took my little tirade the wrong way. I was just playing off of OLC's response to Jimbuna. The fact is that I also think OLC is one of the premier modders we have here.

And just to reiterate: We've never met, so I know nothing of his personal habits (which can't be worse than my own), and anything I may say or do is based purely on my own lame sense of humor.

Now Jimbuna on the other hand, who I have met...:rotfl:

Yeah OLC!
Stop hogging all the glory off GWX just because you changed the colour of the sky a
bit from blue to another shade of blue. That must have taken....what? all of five
seconds?
It's the GWX crew that did the real environmental work changing the underwater
visibility.

Don't anyone dare take this seriously!

I see the Union Jack but it could be Steve wearing Jimbunas cap :lol:










Joking aside.....Tis me wearing the cap which displays the Union Jack and the words 'Barmy Army' (Official England Test Cricket Supporters).

I used to wear my Police issue cap but that used to draw attention that was not always invited/welcomed....especially those alluding to male strippers. :oops:

I saw this mod the first time a week or so again. It's stunning. HUGE immersion factor, imo. I love it.

[Laufen zum Ziel]

I wish you guys would stop posting those great
screen shots. As I was working with Alienware techs
to reload XP my optic drive blew (with a great bang).

I am now waiting for a new drive from AW so I can
load GWX 3 and OLC's mods.

Listning to your reviews, screen shots, and other comments
is driving me crazy. I need to be back on patrol.

Jimbuna will drink any Beer at lest once.
I got him to try Bush Beer in Texas.

Then he and TarJak promptly introduced me to
'Proper' Beers at The Flying Saucer.

[Balle Klorin]

I'd like to make a comment on the "white caps". First of all, 15 m/s isn't a storm, it's just a pesky force 7, with small to medium waves. But the same waves have white caps, all of them.

Why do I never see anything above a force 7? Fact is that sometimes when surfaced in that same force 7 the sea and wind seem much more like a force 9, but not allways.

And sometimes it looks quite diffrent, like that second screenshot from StarLion45.
There's no wind at all in that picture, however the sea might look just like that when the wind is dead and before the sea flattens again. Or even right before the wind picks up speed, with a nearby low working up the sea but the wind haven't quite reached you yet.

I guess I should stop now, and just say that it all looks very nice. I have been working the high seas all my life and had my fair share of both wind and sea, so I guess my point of view is a bit biased :oops:

It has nothing to do with gameplay and such, I really do love this game. I have 3 different clients running, vanilla, GWX and one just to mess with various mods :smug:

Happy hunting to all of you.

Part of the problem is that the game is programmed to not let the wind get above 15 m/s. In the stock version you got warnings that you couldn't man the deck gun because of the weather, and it looked like a flat calm at 7 m/s. A talented modder discovered that if he raised the winds, they defaulted back to that maximum when he reloaded the game. So he came up with the 'Big Waves' mod, which let you set them to twice the height. You can get that effect (and a whole lot more) with SH3 Commander, and when it says 15 m/s you'll see some pretty big waves.

[FIREWALL]

SHCommander 3.1 has so many great features that all work with 3.0 Gold.

It is well worth studying it to take advantage of all it has to offer. :yep:

Yeah, I know and I did just that. So now I have decent rough weather to cope with when attacking a convoy in 15 m/s. The sea brakes the sub down to 20+m all the time and I can hear the swish,swish, swish from the nearby destroyer :lol:
