Hi Makman

Downloaded and it works a treat well done!

Even mid patrol in GWX it can be uploaded (no need to go to port).

My frame rate took a slight hit in bad weather, probably due to improved graphics, but effects very good indeed, and only time polygons are evident is when viewed from higher angles.

Great!! :yeah:

i am very glad you like it guys !:up:
enjoy it !

Looks good, especially darker water, but I have problem with flat sun. Could you include "Flat sun fix" to your mod?

hello Jaxa,
as i said this is not a problem of M.E.P v2 ! read my reply to Seeadler about the sun halo (post 17 of this thread ) .as i said ,i can't 'fix' something that is not happening on my pc! someone that HAS the problem must follow the procedure that is described at [REL] Man0s Environment Pro (post 22 ..till the end) and give a 'fix' to this 100 times discused 'problem' !
i don't know if this help but i have a nvidia card and i am using nhancer (with the settings recommended by Rubini) and i STRONGLY suggest to anyone to use this programme with Rubini's settings! all these are discribed at [REL] Man0s Environment Pro

Makman94, can I enable Flat Sun fix for GWX3 over your mod? When I try to enable it I see this info from jsgme:
"EnvColors_Arct.dat" has already been altered by the "M.E.P v2" mod.
"EnvColors_Atl.dat" has already been altered by the "M.E.P v2" mod.
"EnvColors_Med.dat" has already been altered by the "M.E.P v2" mod.

no Jaxa ! you can't use this 'fix' with M.E.P ....This 'fix' is made for Olc's environment only. you have ,personally, to edit (with s3d) the EnvColors_xxx.dat of M.E.P and do the procedure that you will find at post 22 at thread:[REL] Man0s Environment Pro .

jaxa 09-18-09 05:17 PM

Hmm, Flat sun fix works over your MEP. I see sunhalo instead of golf ball.

Where can I download s3d from?

yes ,it will work for the sunhalo 'problem' but also will 'mess' the colors of M.E.P becuase these files controls many colors exept from the sunhalo and ,in fact,if you use these files you will not see the colors of M.E.P
as i said ,you MUST edit the envcolors_xxx.dat of M.E.P and copy inside there ONLY THE VALUES OF BRIGHTNESS of sunhalo that you will find in OLC's 'fix' . note that some adjustments must maybe need to be done after this

ps: give me a minute to prepare a file for you to ...test

jaxa 09-18-09 06:01 PM

It would be good. Thanks for your help.

Hitman 09-20-09 03:53 AM

The best just gets even better!!! :up:

I am also having problems with the sunhalo, I know that someone -IIRC it was OLC- gave instructions on how to edit the files and fix it, must check my archive, though it will be difficult to fin :damn:

It involved opening one of the files and raising the gamma or something like that.

The new wake for the submarine is gorgeous and so much realistic than anything I've seen before. May be the foam existed already, but it's the combination with this new colours what makes it so lively :D

The sea colour is great in bad weather because it still looks blue, and not grey as in other mods (I prefer and think it is more realistic a dark blue, but that's just personal preference)

If I manage to fix the sun, I'll send you the files for double check and add as optional patch if you want. I would however like to have a screenshot of how the sub shall look like in good weather, so I can use it as reference when tweaking it.

Thanks :salute:

Hitman 09-20-09 03:56 AM

EDIT:

Me idiot....found it in the thread you linked to in the first post :damn:, it was you who hinted the possible fix.

Quote:

open with s3d the envcolors_atl.dat file and find inside there the values for SUNHALO COLOR.(note that the colors at [0] section are for the CLEAR sky)
enter [0] section and locate the sunhalocolor(in all six different situations). clic on sunhalo and then clic at the button that there is at the bottom right and heavily INCREASE the brightness . exit ,save and enable the mod again and tell me if you had any difference at sunhalo.
Will try it and report :arrgh!:

i am afraid that will not work :cry: ! i am trying (with the assistance of Jaxa becuase i can't see the results on my monitor) to solve this problem but i am afraid that i can't solve this ! its totally strange ...a huge square appears around the sun and everything we tried (me and jaxa) didn't solve this. BUT you can give your shot and lets hope Onelifecrisis to have the kindness to 'fix' this. we really need him !

(don't look at the reflection's color....look the water's color )

jaxa 09-20-09 04:21 AM

Wow, these screenshots look fantastic! Good work makman94 :up:

you don't have the exlusiveness of this proverb Jaxa ! he have it here also (Greece) and propably all over the world !

jaxa 09-20-09 04:46 AM

You have right, that means it's true proverb :).

When are you planning to release new version of MEP? I'd like to start new career with it.
