[REL] Real Environment mod

[TorpX]

Ok. Thanks for the advice. I'll get rid of RE for now. Just FYI, I'm running the last TMO compatible with 1.4. I don't have uboat addon. On that note, does the uboat addon/gold edition fix a lot of the missing speech files?

Still wondering about my original question, RE or not....is it normal to see stars through the clouds at night during a heavy storm?

I have the same thing.
Using SH 4 v1.5
RFB latest ver
other stuff

When I first noticed them, I thought they were lighthouses or something (I was in heavy rain and overcast). :haha:
Its very odd.

I think it is a stock problem. Tried with environment mods and without. The problem is that cloud graphics are not thick enough at night to cover up the stars. Kind of an immersion breaker but I can live with it. Stormy weather looks great in the day but not at night.

The 'stars' in the overcast don't bother me that much either. However, It seems that I'm in rough seas most of the time, day after day with 15m/s winds and waves crashing over the bridge. Is this realistic? Mind you, it doesn't slow us down much.:06:

I'm guessing these environmental factors don't affect torpedo performance?

[Dignan]

Are you running any mods? Some mods will tweak how often weather conditions will change. I'm running TMO2.0. I think the rate of weather change is very good in TMO and sporadic so it isn't predictable.

Sea conditions do in fact have an effect on torpedo performance. I would advise against using the "contact influence" setting in rough seas. You will get a lot of premature detonations. And I think it 's harder for the AI to spot torpedo wakes in rough seas. Shouldn't effect speed from what I can tell.

[TorpX]

I'm running RFB 2.0 and RSRDC along with some minor mods. The weather will change rapidly at times, it just seems biased in favor of 15 m/s winds and rough seas. In SHCE a S-boat could barely crawl in heavy seas, but in this game it seems like it's mostly for visual effect. I've only played S-boats so far, maybe its different for the fleet boats. It doesn't seem to be well modeled though.

Hi :)

I read in the thread that RE it's compatible with RFB, but when I try to install it with JSGME, RE wants to overwrite some RFB's files.

So, which order must I install? I presume that the first must be RFB, but I prefer to ask... :yep:

Thank you in advance.

[Armistead]

Supermods already have an enviroment mod tweaked to go with the mod. Most say it isn't a good idea to run a seperate env mod. I use to run real env with TMO and didn't notice anything, but fact is you may never know.

If you want to try it run it after RFB, the overwrites are changes to the file structure, simply it changes RFB's env to real env, plus any other changes, that's normal, just accept it and whatever happens.

I doubt you would notice any problems should there be any, but often env mods change settings such as fog, light, ect, so the enemy may react differently, better or worse you would have to decide.

[Strawberry]

Oh, Ok. I understand now. Thank you very much, Armistead :salute:

EDIT: Sorry. Wrong thread.

[mattwurst]

Hi Guys,

I´m Chris and new here in this Forum. I am trying to install this Real Environment mod but it won`t work.
I Installed the game from DVD. Then patched German voice Patch (outed!) :)
Then updated to 1.4.
Installed JSGME V2.6.0.157 as per the instructions in this Forum.
Copied the real environment mod into the MODS Folder.
So it is under F:/SH4/MODS/Real-Environment/then the file.
I even tried to put it in a Folder named "data" inside the real Environment Folder such as F:/SH4/MODS/Real-Environment/Data/then the file.

No Help!

I can see and select and activate it in JSGME but it has no effect on the game. It´s not active.

What am I doing wrong here?

Unfortunately there is no readme with the download.

It says in this thread, that it can run under 1.4. Version. Also I found some Videos on YouTube running it activated in 1.4 version.

You help is highly appreciated!

Thanks,
Chris.

no ideas?

[propbeanie]

I haven't messed with it in a good while, but it used to have several mods inside the main folder. So, you unzip it with your favorite app, then bring out the portions that you want to activate, in to your MODS folder... Read the documentation to find what's what with the parts... :salute:

[mattwurst]

Ok there is the Problem!

When I download it there is only 1 file. No readme and so on.
I finally found out that it was completely my fault.
Since i have a new pc i forgot to install a unzip program meaning i didn`t realize that I am actually dealing with a zipped file.
only when I kept on reading "unzip the file" it led me to the solution.

sometimes us People are stupid. Me in this case.
I`m sorry for all the hazzle and inconvenience and thank you for all your help because you pointed it out to me.

And Badda-bing, Badda-bum: it works and Looks great!!!

Thank you very much and : great Forum here!

Chris.
