The 16km Clouds.obj is ready since 24. Oct., if the modders did not include it in their mod as Manuel Ortega did, this is not my fault :know: ;)

Of course it's not your fault.
I can't hexedit :cry: That's the reason why it's not in the 16 km visibility mod.

There is no need to hexedit, just import the OBJ file with Pack3D into the scene.dat

Yes, I actually started working on doing that a few minutes before you posted... However, I am not a good graphics modder. The only way I was able to recognize where an OBJ file went... is because Flakwalker explained it to me.

I am very unfamiliar with Sansal's tool but will try fixing the Obj file into the scene dat.

The problem i see is that when you import the clouds OBJ into the scene dat... there appears to be two places it may need to go.

I don't know which... or even if my efforts are way off.

Thank you for the help Seeadler :up: Any future help is welcome also.

Redwine, you are totally correct that the current 16 km visibility mod is incorrect and not realistic. The reason why we are working hard to get a 16 km Cloud Fix is because the 16 km vis-mod seems to be the best middle-ground between actually seeing ships in game and spotting them.

Another problem I am running into is my Nvidia gfx card... it doesn't like rendering more distance... I hope to upgrade it in two weeks.
My card runs other games perfectly.... but not SH3!!!

Testing new scene dat now...

Okay... first attempt resulted in black sky.

Trying again.

Hi Kpt.

I have a working version with Seadlers cloud fix inserted into the mod, if you can't get it to work? :) , I am currntly working on putting bigger waves into the mod...
/Kriller

1. start Pack3D
2. open the scene.dat
3. click [ export all ]
4. now you've got a 3d folder in your \data\ folder
5. copy my 16km Clouds.obj in this folder and overwrite the existing one
6. select in Pack3D the 3D object\3D-Clouds folder in the tree
7. click [ import ] and open the previously copied Clouds.obj from the 3D folder
8. Pack3D must no reports "3D clouds imported"

ok, here is the mod with Seadlers cloudfix and the 2xwaves by Timetravlers mod:

It needs to be tested as I hex-edited the files to get the wavemod into two other mods...

Hope it works okay?

Great work :up:

Could be possible make this mod but without the big waves ??

16_km_visibility_mod_RWR_Moon_fix_Clear_water_Ocea n_Reflections_wavesx2_cloudsfix.rar

:hmm: I have the deffault waves and in a storm it seems to be enough for me :88) the diesel engines shutt down often and the water jump over the tower . :doh:

Also i don´t know if this could shink other ships, like merchants or so.

thanks :up:
