see-through water.

[Howard313]

I'm going to have a hard time explaining this. So I got a picture to help me.

The Picture above, is a submarine just beneath the surface visible beneath the waterline.

Is there a mod that I can download (or better yet a .cfg file I can edit in notepad) to make my submarine slightly visible underwater at shallow depths?

I've seen videos on the internet such as this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hcs70Rz1-Bg&feature=related, (skip to 2:20 to see the uboat begin it's dive sequence and give a demonstration of what I am talking about) but I have not had any luck achieving it myself.

Now I am unsure as to whether or not the video I posted is of Silent Hunter 3, but one of the comments says it is so I posted it for good measure. Also whether it is Silent Hunter 3 or not it shows exactly what I would like to see. (just the water, don't care about the boat itself, although the particle effects coming off of it are pretty sweet.)

So.....Can it be done? :shifty:

Yep. It's called SH4. And 5. The water rendering in SH3 is completely different, and, as far as I know can't be changed.


But I think I recently heard a rumor, so I could be wrong.

For the moment it's pretty much just the water clarity adjustment through Commander....

What's this? No please say it isn't so! ;)

What game is that video from? I love the debris and vegetation on the ocean bottom!

It looks like Silent Hunter 4 with the U-Boat Missions add on.

I believe that the water clarity only applies to the transparency when the camera is under water. The transparency of the water's surface can't be changed I think.

That's correct...it is.

[Sailor Steve]

Yep, SH4. There's no mistaking that distinctive Toolbar.

I've only played SH3 and lose track of all the GUI mods. :)

ahh crap, I assumed the video was sh3, so many mods and silent hunter games i have a hard time telling what I'm looking at. :haha:
