Hi makman94,

thanks a lot for the information :up: Do you know what the 'MaxVisDim' and 'MinVisDim' settings in the scene.dat -->sky--->moon--->waterreflection are?

Cheers, LGN1

no Jaxa, working season have start for me and no much time for modding anymore,but when i got some free time i will look at it ,or else...we will 'meet' again at sh5 !

haven't really figured out what these parameters alter...only guessing something about the angle that the moon will reflect on water

It's a pity, but I understand you. If you will have free time, try to do something with it.
Cheers mate.

Hi makman !

Firstly, thank you for the great MOD! :yeah:

Just me, the nights are too dark, one hardly sees what. My question: Can you make the nights a little brighter?

Or can you tell me the settings, how to make the nights brighter?

My monitor is actually set optimally, there is a 19" TFT.


And sorry for my bad english ! :oops:

Best regards,
Magic

hello Magic,

i tried to make M.E.P as real as possible .
in real life the night is dark ...you can't see much and if you can't see much in real life you will can't see in M.E.P too !
also , you should know that everytime you run a different environment you have to adjust the brightness,contrast....gamma of your monitor .
a tip how to adjust your monitor for M.E.P is to look the last pic in first post...the one that the sub is exiting the port at night
the sub is black but the sea's color in M.E.P at night is one 'tone' dark blue . adjust your monitor looking at this pic untill you can hardly distinguish the difference of these colors (the sub's black and the sea's blue)
note that in M.E.P ....night is indeed dark.
if you find it ,after the monitor's adjustment , still too dark for your taste i am sorry but nothing i can do for you mate.to make nights brighter need a lot of work ...it is not so simply and i am done with environment moding

sorry Magic

Hello Makman !

Thank you very much for the Reply! I understand you, what do you mean. I will try the tip with the picture in the first post !

Best regards,
Magic

Just a quick tuppence about the sea at night. When there's nothing for light to bounce of then the world is very dark indeed. However, light does bounce quite well of submarines and ships. This incident light turns objects into light sources in their own right.

Consequently, the sub and the sea around the sub should be lighter than the sea a little further away. So much so that one can easily sea theirway around the deck of boat in the blackest of nights.

Unfortunatley, I doubt this can be modelled in the game which is a shame because it would really make night time attacks more immersive.

And don't get me started on the plankton phospherence.

Tuppence Spent:salute:

:DL Hello Uber Gruber,

you are right Uber Gruber ....obviously you are talking about nights with full moon ! yes it would be amazing if moon's light was modeled but unfortunatelly no option for this (at least ,i don't 'see' it anywhere in files)

Great work makman94! :)

A question, is this compatible with the Real Weather Fix? The scene.dat file is in conflict.

Thanks.

hello Di3lta-303,

your question is 'strange' becuase the realweatherfix doesn't have a scene.dat (so ...it is impossiple to have 'conflicts') .
the realweatherfix is an .exe that will make the necessery changes to the values of scene.dat that you are currently using .so , you run the realweatherfix after you have installed the M.E.P and you are ready to go .
if you want to make MANUALLY the changes that the realweatherfix is doing to scene.dat here is what you have to do :
open with s3d the scene.dat of M.E.P and change the follows :

Thanks for your answer. :)

Hello makman !

Excuse me, I have two questions again! :D

1.) Check out the two Screenshots at once please:

http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/4753/bild077j.jpg

Is it correct, that at the end of the Horizons is a "white line"? :hmmm:

I have seen this only in the summer months (Ingame-Time), for example in June 1942, not in the winter months.
What do you think? :hmmm:

2.) I think the weather change occurs too often. Every day (Ingame-Time) I had a change of weather, it is not even, for example, three days immediately. Sometimes changes twice a day. Why is this so?


My question: Can you adjust it that the weather changes less quickly?

Thank you for answering my questions!

Best regards,
Magic

hello Magic ,

for 2: weather is still a big 'headache' ! environment are not 100% responsible for this.Stiebler is the 'professor' at this subject so he will be able to give you more infos or advices.although he has 'cured' somehow the problem the weather still doesn't working perfect . if you run M.E.P on gwx3 try the above settings(previous post of mine) in the scene.dat of M.E.P (the other changes that the weatherfix does are allready included in gwx) and look if you have any weather improve .other than that....i don't know

for 1:no this is not happening in M.E.P ! either some mods are conflicting in your installation or you have a corrupted file. redownload M.E.P and reinstall.the following pics are taken on 26/june.the first one is with clear sky and the second with clouds .....the third ....is nothing !!.....just THE canon (and i mean... THE CANON) of the amazing WAC ....just love it

Hello Makman !

Thanks for the answers!

I'm going to download M.E.P. 2.1 again and I´ll try it again.
Then I activated M.E.P. 2.1 MOD as the last, so there are no conflicts.
I then reports on the outcome, okay ?!

Best regards and thanks for everything,

Magic

Hello Makman !

Problem is solved! It was my fault (sorry:oops:). I was accidentally in the Textures (...TNormal\tex) folder, another .tga file that I had extracted with S3D from another environment MOD (Sky_Atl.tga). This tga file has overwritten the file from your MOD.

Thank you for your help,
best regards,

Magic

Really nice mod, Makman! It's like a new SH3! :yeah:

M.E.P v3
 

thank you LiveGoat but wait to see the next version !


M.E.P v3 is..... coming ! (i guess a little bit before christmass.....)

what new you will see is :

1. 20km environment
2. tweaks on colors
3. realistic horizon (so far is at a very good level)....deep searching to make it as reality
4. sensors adjustments

Hi Makman !

Great that you still want to release a new version! :yeah:
In my opinion, is M.E.P. the best environmental MOD, which I´ve seen so far !
Since I'm already looking forward to it! Good success for the work on M.E.P. v3 :up:

Best regards,
Magic

hello Magic ,
