Looks good so far. Three things:

1. My biggest complaint about the stock foam is that it is not white, not the same color as the bow and stern waves. Have you addressed that issue?

2. In the future it would be nice if you converted your pictures to .jpg before posting them. The .png format takes up bandwidth and it very slow to load if you don't have a super connections.

3. I realize that English is not your native language, so please take this as a helpful hint and not a criticism: When talking about possessive, it's "their", not "there". :sunny:

I think this not matchng colours issue of bow wake and side foam, is not always there all day long, perhaps the UBI developers dont have enough time to match properly both colours for the whole day, sometimes at specific times with specific environmentals conditions looks OK

Your foam mod looks great Messageboy. But seeing the download is on GameFront I can't get it to try it. :(

[messageboy101]

[messageboy101]

You're right, that does look quite good. I had only noticed the discrepancy in the past.

i will treat it as soon as i have time
Cool. As Tonschk pointed out, it seems that sometimes it does match.

i will convert my pics into .jpg
Thanks. It helps. :sunny:

As I said, I wasn't being critical. I reserve that for Americans and Brits who should know better. :D

Steve, I hereby award you this badge.:haha:
Too late! I've been Chief of that department for a long time now. :O:

The dynamic shadows dont cast shadows on the bow wake, only cast shadows on the ocean surface, there are so many many graphical details to keep in mind when developing and programming a game like SH5, that the developers cannot properly complete everything and finish everything

[tonschk]

Sometimes the bubble size looks acceptable

[messageboy101]

it looks fine but in the 0.2 version the bubbles are about 15% smaller than stock

[messageboy101]

just found out that my mod files were gone and SH5 was un-installed
im lucky that the mediafire link is still working

[volodya61]

..im lucky that the mediafire link is still working

Your mediafire link is incorrect..
it's link to page - myfiles.. so after clicking I see my files.. not yours.. :D
give us the correct link, please..

Really? Your files have to be identical to my files then, because when I click on messageboy's link I don't see anything but them. :hmmm:

P.S: mesageboy, how did you hack my mediafire account, and who gave you permission to do so? You see, because of you now Volodya is pretending that my files are of his own :nope:

:O:

Just what do you think you're doing, Volodya?
Volodya, I really think I'm entitled to an answer to that question.

[volodya61]

Are we (our team) "thread boosters" or... "thread hijackers"? :06:

[messageboy101]

Got SH5 installed again and updated to 1.2
the mediafire link has bin updated and the mod is now 0.3
started working on the files for the deck spray

[volodya61]

I think you should have a look at these mods also:

Sub Bubbles byTheBeast - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=3664
3D Deck Splash FX - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=3682

[messageboy101]

the bubbles in the foam mod are already 15% smaller than stock
and 3D Deck Splash FX mod shows only more spray when you dive
im working on adding that for high sea's

im lookin for an effect like in this movie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEcM99dq2v4 you can see it at 0.25sec

still working on it in a week or 3 maybe a will release a beta
