I removed misc/impurity.dds to get rid of the seaweeds/plankton and the result was that the underwater view was then made totally dense and like pea soup. Like a game file was missing.
Can you just make a MOD that duplicates the cystal clear picture above, with exact instructions on how to move files. I'd also like to keep the rocks and vegetation on the seafloor. And just get rid of the floating green plankton. Exactly like the picture.
About the realism with this game's idea of what the water looks like. I've been to the Pacific in the game area. Unless there is some unusual plant or plankton bloom, the water is actually very clear. The average clarity all over the southwestern pacific is very clear. Exceptions are the coasts like around the York Peninsula of Australia where it's a saltwater swamp even in the ocean near shore. Tides create very murky waters there.
If i remember correctly, SH3 had different water clarity for different regions. Just an idea. Maybe the green floating plankton can be only associated with very shallow waters. Though i doubt that's achievable.'
thanks
