Heres where somebody more knowledgeable comes along and tells me there is a big fat on/off switch for all the reflections!

Anyway, heres a brief how-to for disabling object refections.

1:download s3d.

2:find the .dat for the object whose reflections you want to remove (in this case i chose a type7c sub)


3:find the node that starts with relfect_????????, open it and go to the waterreflection child node and as shown change the reflect and refract values to 0


4:In the case of a subs reflections you`ll also have to repeat the above steps for the conning tower which is a seperate object (in the objects folder, turm7c_1.dat for example), oh and the deck gun (in the subguns.dat in the library folder)

As you can see its a right royal pain in the ass to disable reflections for just a single sub model, so to do it for everything in game will really give you a headache.
I suggest just doing it for those reflections that annoy you the most (in my case this was the sun and the subs own reflections, everything else i could live with).

Personally i quite like the look of the sea without reflections...



Good luck sailor
