Ace! Looks great! does this add much to the ambient light on clear nights with a full moon as well? If not it is still very, very nice. :up:

[HanSolo78]

Great!!! :)

[bigboywooly]

:up: Way to go
Now my ship can bask in the moons reflection

Now where can I download ?
pls not rapid****e

[VonHelsching]

Excellent! :up:

[CWorth]

And once again sergbuto manages to fix one of Ubi's screwups with SH3.

Nice job and looks great.:rock: :rock: :up: :up: :up:

Maybe Ubi should hire you to make sure they get things done properly on SH4.

[Highbury]

That looks amazing, nice work!! :rock:

[Hartmann]

Great

Finally a moon reflections !! :up: :up:

the only way since now to see moon reflections was using the zoom in the flak views

very nice after days of storms see a night like that

[Der Teddy Bar]

Playing a game is all Atmosphere and this mod delivers just that :up:

[Mast]

Now that is sweet! :up:

We need a link to download, fast!!!

[Gammel]

Great work as usual, Sergbuto!

Can you tell what files have to be changed to get the reflection (You know the problem - heavy modded game...)

I was always wondering why i had moon reflection in binocular and uzo view, but not at bridge and external.

Can you fix the sun reflection too?
Here it is the exact opposite problem - No or buggy reflection in uzo / binocular / scope, fine at external and bridge view.
Maybe it´s video card dependent - X800XL here, all drivers Cat 5.10 till 6.5

[Rubini]

As always the best work!
Many thanks Sergei! And nice to see that you are "alive" and yet working on Sh3!:up:

Rubini.

[Redwine]

Many thanks Sergbuto....:up:

Is it ready for download as standa alone yet ? I want to store it and i cant found it at your web site.
And ... is it included into U-Boat War Ace files like other of your jobs ?

I have moon reflections now and i never installed a mod for it. :o

Many thanks for job and effort ! :up:

PD :

Did you found if it is posible to replace the debris with your life boat ?

[Soviet_Warlord]

Still no linky? ARGGGG :arrgh!:


:damn::damn::damn:

P.S. OMG LOOK AT MY NEW AVATAR!!! :o

[Reece]

Wow ...... Link, Link, Link.:D

P.S. OMG Look at my Avatar Too!!:o

[Hartmann]

(I can´t wait more...where is the link ?? :damn: :dead: )

Why make such work?

Buy a chain! :doh:

[sergbuto]

Unfortunately, I have a hardware problem with the computer where SH3 is installed. The computer does not work. I hope to solve the hardware issue in a few days.

Another weird problem was with the forum itself. I could login from another computer but was not allowed to post. Anyhow, it is solved now.

[sergbuto]

does this add much to the ambient light on clear nights with a full moon as well?

Not really tested but I doubt that.

[sergbuto]

I have moon reflections now and i never installed a mod for it. :o?
Yes, I saw moon reflections on CCIP's screenshorts. I would guess those are due to his modded Camera.dat. I can't investigate at the moment because of the problem with my computer. If this is the case then the question is whether you see those moon reflections while on the bridge (F4 view) and whether those would exist for the small moon.

Did you found if it is posible to replace the debris with your life boat ?
I have not looked at this problem since last time.

[Soviet_Warlord]

Is it possile to get the no-sun-in-periscope bug fixed in the same way you fixed the moon reflection bug?

Hi Sergbuto, thanks for response, i was wrong partially..... really i have not moon reflections on external views or bridge views, i have them looking the moon by the periscope.

Look at this....

but form the bridge i cant see any moon reflection.... :up:

Will be great if you can do it... !!! :up:

[Gammel]

Same for me, Redwine (i posted already on page 1)

Maybe it´s video card dependent - X800XL here, all drivers Cat 5.10 till 6.5

ATI X800 XT PE here with Omega equivalent to 5.10.... SH3 give me some problems with graphic glitches and artifacts using this video card....

[sergbuto]

Is it possile to get the no-sun-in-periscope bug fixed in the same way you fixed the moon reflection bug?

I did not pay attention to that. I'll investigate when the computer with the SH3 install is back.

[Gammel]

Didn´t wanna sound harsh Redwine no need to be sorry. Only problem here is my english! :p:up:
5.10 is the best SH3 driver for X800 cards IMO. I´m on 6.5 now and not very happy. The ugly surface water wake effect is back.
Reflections never worked correct with any driver.
Already wrote that methinks... lol ;)

Good luck with you computer, Sergbuto and many thanks for all the cool stuff you did already for this game.

Hope you have data backup - not like me...

[Hartmann]

I have a gforce 6600gt and it works very well in all games. :hmm:
In Sh3 i have the same problem with the sun and uzo/periscope views.

it´s like using a sunglases or Polarized lenses , it lose a lot of bright.

But In the real life it´s very dangerous look the sun with a binoculars because it could burn yours eyes and retine , except if you use a solar filter.
The crew have to watch out for the sun while they look up for aircrafts and when is down near the horizont.

[Soviet_Warlord]

when the computer with the SH3 install is back.

How much longer will that take??? :arrgh!: :lol:

[sergbuto]

Hopefully, I will get necessary hardware parts in the beginning of next week.

[sergbuto]

The mod download is available on my site.

In attempt to avoid possible questions and requests, I have made a few versions compartible the stock/vanilla game, GW 1.1a, NYGM 2.0, and U-boat War Ace (standalone) 1.7. Other big mod compilations, such as FF2.1, Living SH3, and U-boat War Ace 2 use the stock version.

Hi Serge!

As version 1.8 of my mod will be released tomorrow i would love to include your mod!!
But I have changed to two version.. light and graphical improved.
For the improved version i use an scene.dat file with the sky dome fix, 16km visibility and 1,5x waves.
wouldn´t you be so kind to add the moon refelctions if I send it to you?

[sergbuto]

wouldn´t you be so kind to add the moon refelctions if I send it to you?

Sure. No problem. I will PM you my e-mail address.

[Hartmann]

Thanks !!! :up: :up:

i tried the mods and works perfect, the game looks very nice now with the moon reflections
i take some screenshots but are too dark to post here. :88) in game is better

[WolfyBrandon]

I hate to be the guy to always ask this, :-?

But does this mod also include the Cloud Distortion Fix?

For the stock scene.dat file, I only have it modifyed by the Distortion Fix since its a bug fix and would also like it compatible with this mod if possible.

Thanks,
Wolfy

Now, the download on my site also includes stock scene.dat with Seeadler's Cloud fix.

[WolfyBrandon]

Thanks A Lot Sergbuto!

[Reece]

Hi, thanks for the mod Serg!:up: I can't tell you how nice it looks as I have been on a complete patrol and the sky was either overcast during storm or no moon at all!:D Typical hey!:rotfl:

[sergbuto]

I guess this mod should be bundled with the "Always-clear-weather" mod then. :lol:

[Rubini]

Hi Sergei,

Thanks again for another great mod!
Because we have mods and modders like that SH3 is always playable again and again!:rock:

Rubini.

[sergbuto]

Thanks.

It is nice to be able to enjoy views of moon reflections ones in a while since not so many lights can be seen during SH3 nights in deep sea except for something like this

Sure.

[sergbuto]

:o What ship is that Serg ?:o

One of the ships I am working on to import to SH3. This one is a small passenger ship/transport for coastal traffic created in 3D by Charlotte Hagen.

[Redwine]

Hi Sergbuto.. many thanks for job and effort. :up:

Is it too complex to have a manual editing guide for scene.dat ?

I have my own, and really it is imposible for me to remember what changes i made there :p , if not, i can use one of your files, and remake my changes, but really i cant remember what changes i made along more than one year... :hmm:

Any help is welcome...regards,. Red. :up:

[basilio]

Sergbuto,
many thanks for your mod.
I'm using it with the could distortion fix...everything is fine, apart from the sun (or, better, the sun REFLECTIONS), which are BIGGER than before.

Is it normal?
I mean, it is not that bad.....but I need a pair of sunglasses :|\\
Again, many thanks for the mod!!!

[sergbuto]

I did not change anything for sun, unless Seeadler did something along with his Cloud Distortion fix.

yes, you're right! apoligize for my question.
I had not been playing SH3 for a long time.
I had the same sun size with my old scene.dat file.
Again, THANKS for your mod!!!!!!!!!!

[Redwine]

Many Thanks Sergbuto... ! :up:

File works fine !

Hi sergbuto,

...by the way, who is Charlotte Hagen? http://img116.exs.cx/img116/934/z0tdntknw.gif

[sergbuto]

...by the way, who is Charlotte Hagen? http://img116.exs.cx/img116/934/z0tdntknw.gif

A person. :D I do not know much more.

[Sailor Steve]

I know more: from the name the person in question is most likely female.






Of course I could be wrong.

[CWorth]

I never did ask this but will the GW 1.1a version work with just GW 1.1.

[sergbuto]

I never did ask this but will the GW 1.1a version work with just GW 1.1.

I would guess so but better ask the GW team.
