Good work OLC :up:
I like your mod very much.

Waves seemed to be much smoother. I sailed out of La Spezia on a beautiful night, calm seas. Hope to get some strong winds and high waves later on, to check out how it looks.
Depends on taste of course, but I think its an improvement to an already wonderful mod, thanks OLC :up:

I couldn't agree more! I'm not sure yet whether I actually prefer the smoother waves, but I know some people dislike the polygonal look of the OLCE2 water and "smoother waves" is the only way to fix that.

I definitely like the clouds at sunset better. :yep:

Looks very nice OLC.:up:

Thanks again OLC. I had installed the thomson`s water mod.
With all respect for him but i didn`t like the horizon.

With this tweaked file i am happy again. The sunrising etc is great.
Really WOW.

Open JSGME and disable OLCE2.

Right-click on OLCE2 in JSGME and select "Explore" to open the folder. Inside the folder is a subfolder called "data" and in that folder is a file called scene.dat. Rename it to scene.243 (this is your backup) and then put the new scene.dat file in the same folder. Close windows explorer.

Select OLCE2 in JSGME and enable it. Done.

Weeee! Alright testing it now!

tomfon 12-14-08 11:47 AM

I'll definitely try this tweaked file.
No polygons effect is a strong reason for me not only to give it a try but use it, for sure.

Nice work. :up:
Thank you.

I guess, in a way, you finally managed to balance "potential problems" and better graphics. (?)

Unfortunately no. Like I said, I'm not sure I like the smooth water. It has the problems I said it would have. The "smoothing" removes much of the 3D/reflective effect that I liked so much in the previous versions of the OLCE2 water. It makes the water look rather flat and lifeless in comparison, but it does greatly reduce the ploygonal look of the water in some conditions, and that problem does look very ugly. It's a trade-off.

tomfon 12-14-08 12:13 PM

I don't know why but after this scene.dat release i am happy there is a choice between these two OLCE2 environments. Even a doubtful one. :yep:

:D

Maybe I'm just seeing things:o but the water seems to be more reflective with this tweaked file than it was before. I'm in CO 65 (the Med); it's overcast with 7m waves & I swear that I can make out the sky's reflection in the water better than I could before. Very cool.:up:

One question though, I have a mod that adds a moon reflection to your 2.4.3 version. Would I be correct in assuming that it is not compatible with this new file?

Thanks...:)
