textures question
 

Under the textures it shows 5a and 5b. do we need both or just one?

Just one, one has the sun camera flair, the other doesn't. I use the one with the flair, it is a nice effect :yep:

Thanks for handling that for me RDP
 

I am off to work on the stuff I need and want to both for the game. Catch you guys tomarrow.

BTW due to over whelming requests in the past for it I found a way to extend the distance push for the exhaust of the big gun's shooting on the ships. For all medium and Large gun's. The fire blast will extend outward from the guns much further. And in the higher speed wind states the wind will carry it a bit more.

And trying to get the smoke to react differntly for the mod to work with the new textures. So far the results are good in the Midway testing mission.

Okay it isn't actualy a problem per say
 

I gave the wind much more influance over the ocean's surface in the new work.

What we are seeing is the density changes in the waves as the wind is blowing accross it now. Here is a high airial shot of the effect.

It just looks funny to us right now because I had never done this in my work before with the ocean. I always kept the wind influance lower than it is now. Went from very low values like 1 and lower to 5 and higher now for the higher wind speeds. But I do think I am going to turn down the reflection effect for wave state 4 wich is between 12.5 to 15 mps winds.

i love the new wind look :) that 2nd shot is very nice - keep up the great work :up:

thanks
 

BTW how does everyone like the new ship wake and foam effects and the duel prop kick up the subs now have and how they move through the water both smooth and ruff?

Been hearing about the problems not about the new effects and if people like them or not?!

Although AVGWarhawk did seem to be happy with the new weather changes.

Yep, I like the twin rooster tail splashing off the stern. The foaming white water around the submarine is much better and more realisitic. Some say the water has a metallic look to in some weather, looks good to me. In fact you big lug, last night I decided to keep my rig that runs XP as I do not want Vista until a service pack is out for it. To much talk of problems with Vista. But, I want sun glare and halos found in ROW!! Better FPS. That said, I purchased a GForce 7800 GS CO overclocked card. I have the AGP set up and after many days of looking and comparing what is available in AGP, this is the card I purchased. Got a great deal for it also. So, if you are wondering if your work is any good, use my testimony of purchasing more hardware for better viewing of what you have going! Like I stated earlier, the colors and textures are just beautiful.

When Vista is much more friendly, I will purchase the system and 8800 graphics cards. Should be 6 months to a year.

Vista and Nvidia 8800gts
 

:sunny: Build my own PC: Asus P5N32-E SLI with Intel Core 2 CPU 6600 2.40GHz, 2G memory, 2 HD WD 500 G each, Creative X-FI Xtreme Gamer Samsung Syncmaster 206 BW, Office 2007, Paint Shop Pro, Nero 7, Norton 360, Widebandth Internet with spam and virusfilter on the server of my provider AND NVidia 8800 GTS, 640 mb overclocked slightly. Just a few games installed but now only playing SH4 with the latest from Leovampire (He truly is a genius) and TM from Ducimus (another one!!) and some smaller beautiful mods.

After hours of :damn: :damn: :damn: :damn: and a lot of:oops: :oops: :oops: :down: It's running very smoothly: Framerates never under 70/80 and mostly above 100/150. Fully enjoy SH4 with TM and ROW. Thanks to the subsim radio room forums, which is the best on the internet for my so far.

Who am I to advise you, but at this moment I'm glad I bought the new PC and gave the "old one" to one of my daughters :oops: . Would not liked to have waited another year. Up and running for 62 days without any problems! Maybe I'm just lucky. Aniuk:sunny:

edit: mobo tweaked with Ntune

Tool bar and instruments on the bridge
 

:oops: On the screen shot of Leovampire (post #2209 ) what a beauty. How do I get this? I'm jealous. Now I use the toolbars from jimmymadrid. Does somebody knows the thread? or the download? Did not update to patch 1.4 yet. Just downloading the updates. Little bit afraid about bugs Thanks in advance. Aniuk

Hiya Aniuk :)

Can't help you on that specific shiney hud, I use one similar but not quite so fancy

Anyways...........

Niceone on building your (1st ???) pc.

If this is your 1st i bet it will be the 1st of many over time :D , Best is when you build your own you can upgrade etc without too much hastle (problems)

I have the 640 version of the gts too and i bios flashed her like there's no tomorrow lmao, Waiting for new 9800 series early next year i hope, But GTX's are looking very good price-wise now (they're still great cards for high AA ;) )

Well have fun with your new rig !!!

Happy Hunting

Ciao

I'm a fan of the new ship wake and foam effects, mind you some people complain about the performance hit they bring in tow.

YES! :up::up:

Thanks sir

Dave,

I really have enjoyed the new ROW work - ended up staying away from mods when I went 1.4 for a bit - then added back in TM, ROW, RSRD and NSM. I have stayed away from the special effects pack since it isnt NSM compatible - and I know that takes time. But what I am using is the best - really makes me be more "there" - without ROW sh4 lacks a whole lot! Thanks for the efforts mate!

Thanks Defiance
 

cool glad you like the new work
 

Yep you have to love NVidia cards just can not beat them for thier ability to show some great effects with minimal problems.

But a good CPU is just as important so there is no slow downs in the game.

The new explosion effects can cause a slowdown as well as the new smoke work.

When I baug down my system to test it like my PC is a lower end one there can be a large slow down if you are too close to the effects camera wise.
