My game looks better than ever with it and antialiasing cranked about 3/4 the way up ..

I hope more people will get accustomed to using the low res patches, as the advantages of doing it on most systems exceed by far the small decrease in texture quality

I don't see how the low resolution patches might affect waves' "plastic wrap effect", but I am glad anyway that you have found a good balance

Thats good stuff i dont care .,later on At some point i made the comparison to Skyrim , And myself felt a sense of accomplishment , at having made my game look like that .

I don't remember who actually tweaked DynEnv's rain drops. Stoianm probably. I will pass on your compliments to him

And i didnt like the neon green either .,, so i was pretty picky i guess ..
This last loadup , which is pretty bare, but a bit more adventurous than last
Seems just perfect ,PREFECT i say lol .. , Some refraction , but not overpowering like actually looking underwater with bare eyes . Like with goggles on ..
And the green is more subdued ,, much more believable ..

Are you using any of the high visibility submods?
IIRC, main mod's diffraction fx are little stronger than in stock game; high visibility patch, normal version: as in stock game; high visibility patch, high version: almost no diffraction.

As for the green color, I think you mean water's color around Balctic and North Sea. That was another tweak by stoianm (he spent weeks looking for the right balance, back in the days when we were working together on the mod) and it is also one of my favorite DynEnv's features

Unfortunately many players use one of the 'no murky waters' patches, thus giving up the effect...

Im done .. thx for the hard work . enjoying it ..

Unfortunately there is no way to use different seaweed textures at the same time. You must enable one of thosee mods at time, depending on where you are currently sailing. The good thing, is that you can switch among them any time
