Still on vacation, thought I'd check out how you guys are doing...and by the looks of it, some people (hi, Kriller2!) are doing an AMAZING job! :up:

I wanna go there! Wherever that is:lol:

I'm pretty sure I saw that chair on Palawan.

:p

I will verify this, I must go in September for vocational reasons to Cebu and Palawan:cool:

My Grandfather was in Palawan, only in 1944. The pictures he took look a heck of a lot different than that paradise:nope:

The light is not strong enough to cause the same coloration it does when the sun is out (blue wave length scattering), so color should shift in this case to a more reflective color.

If you have some light poking through and the haze becomes bluish, then the water will have a bluish cast similar to the screen shots.

Otherwise, with clouds and haze being gray, you'll only have traces of blue, usually more of a bluish green where there's foam, the bulk should have a grayish cast to it.

Hi Swdw,
thanks for the feedback, I needed that :yep: and have corrected the water colour in storm and cloudy now, but if I set the fresnell coefiecient very low in the scene.dat it allso affects all other weather settings so I have left it so we have the nice glossy sea in bright daylight :up: but instead I have turned down the sun reflection a bit when storm and now the sea is a greyish colour with a little trace of blue, pictures coming up soon!

PE4 new underwater environment

Hi all,

Here is the latest update, I have added some new bubles to the submarines and u-boats and made a new seabed and underwater-colours:

@Swdw is it better?

Looking Great as usual K2 :up:

Liking those seabeds with what looks like lots less weed/kelp

Keep on tweaking :rock:

These shots are perfect in my opinion... Can't find the right words... truly jawdropping...

Do the underwater colors change with the bad weather as well into a more greyish look or do they stay that blue like in the underwater shots in sunny weather?

How is the fps-hit in comparison to the stock-game? I know it's one of the stupid questions to ask...but well my rig is kind of low-end and I'm getting worried that I can't play with your mod.

And another one I have... does this mod only affects the atlantic-waters or does it cover the arctic and mediterranean waters as well?

Best regards...and keep up the great work!!

a beauty ! when do you think you'll release ?

Storm colours very good:up::up:, but underwater:hmm::oops:, maybe more green:hmm::oops:

To those that commented on my holiday pic: it's a shot from a beach near Kavala, northern Greece. What you see is the northernmost waters of the Aegean sea ;)

The foot you see sticking out at the left? That's a guy who just saw the pics of PE4! :rotfl:

Truly amazing work :rock:

The PE4 mod will use a lower resolution sky texture than PE3, so it should run better than pe3, but I have made alot of other changes to the way the shaders works so don't know how it will affect perfomance on lower rigs, but soon (within a week) PE4 will go to testing and we will see ;)

PE4 colours and environment is made to work with the pacific scenario and the u-boat campaign, but some of the changes to shaders etc. will allso affect the atlantic.
