Reduced Visibilty in Fog and Rain

[MLF]

More than likely been covered ad nauseum, but I've missed it if it has - so apologies in advance.

When in heavy rain/fog i see a radius around the boat that is affected by reduced visibility. Outside of that radius I see a black seascape with no waves rendered. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I have an NVidia 5500+ card.

I cant understand well your problem, but the game renders the waves into a small square wich limits are ... outside of visual range, almost up to the stock camera height.

It is clear visible when you put the external camera on a plane flying at high altitude.

But if yo put the external camera on a ship or your sub, almost at sotck height, you never reach to see those square limits... even in a clear day, and specially in fogy days.

Same underwater, if you increase the underwater visibility value beyond of 20 or 21 you can see this limit underwater.

Can you put a screen shot ?

may be the people who worked on the Visibility Mod can help you ....

sorry if i cant be useful....

Thanks for the reply, Redwine. When I'm on the bridge view in fog, I see a hazey band, and then a black band beyond. In outside camera view at sea level I see a band of haze/mist but as I raise the camera only slightly I see the black sea that I am talking about beyond. I have tried posting an image to imageshack but I must be doing something wrong because it doesn't seem to work. I'll keep trying.

@ MLF :

Do you use any mod wich changes the SkyColors_XXX.dat and the EnvColours_XXX.dat ?

Why you dont try to replace them for another ones..

I experienced some problems time ago due to have installed a determined Visibility Mod and change its corrsponding SkyColours and EnvColours files for nothers....

Any way i have the same problem than you in the last screenshot, the ships has no textures into the fog, i think so it is a program issue.


Any one has a sugestion for MLF ?

Hi Redwine

Thanks again for all your help here. I don't see the screenshot though???????

The mods I have enabled are:-

Grey Wolves
FubarsVIIC_U552
EnvColors21
Atomosphere Mod V2 8Km Dark (since last night but made no difference to the problem)

I have also tweaked the Campaign_RND.mis as per CB's weather script change (had the problem before that though)

Land in what should be fog also has the same problem - it does not render and therefore looks like its a very clean iceberg!:o

I now have to sleep ( UK 22:10).:dead:

Well as i think you have mod touching the Enviromental and Sky Colours files.
Two of your mods modify them....

What files you have now, those from the EnvColours21 or those of Atmosphere Mod ?

Try not mix files, and if you can try rolling back those mods...

Hello Redwine

Thanks for posting the screenshots. I get the feeling we're on our own here!:-?

You were right of course - I had a complete mix match of files from differant mods in the env directory.

So, I backed up the env directory, and then copied the file of EnvColours21 to that directory. Still the same un-rendered ships:cry: . Is this something that has to be changed at patrol end? I wouldn't have thought so ......

I now only have GW installed with the EnvColours21 mod.

Really i have no more ideas...

What about the original Env files ?

Please comment any new...
