I packed 10 screenshots showing some examples :

It's on stock SH4 with a custom locations file but all the harbours are from the stock game (and show as expected without the reflections mod enabled).

Cheers.

Hi Michaly,
Thanks for notifying me , this is a bug with the visibility mod, Dave allso had the same problem so don't know if there is a solution if its not something that I overlooked in the dat-file when editing the harbour objects in S3D, I can take a look at it at the same time as modding PE4.

you know kriller, i love PE 3.3, but i have one major criticism with PE as well as with EE 4.4... is that the water shading just doesn't look right.. personally i think PE 3.3 is the best we've had since 1.4 vanilla.. but i don't know. i always thought the way shIII shaded it's water was very nice.. choppy and soft shaded. perhaps it's just me but i always though ShIII wave models were better than sh4. i can't put my finger on it honestly.. but sh4's water always looked a bit off.

shIII's water shading techniques plus P.E. environmental effects and colors.. = OMG

Hi Misfitdreamer,
Thanks , I know exactly what you mean, but I do think that the water looks much better in SH4 than SH3, the water in SH3 is to smooth, if you look at the ocean in RL the waves are not that smooth and can sometime look like a carpet or something, but the engine in SH4 is still long away from f.ex. the water in Crysis, maybe SH5 will be better?

BTW have you seen the wip from PE4? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=138663

(It's the best waves I can get with the engine from SH4, but still needs some work...)

Dear Kriller,

I was out yesterday near Gibraltar. It was dark and I had big monsterwaves.
Can you tell me how to get them in Single mission?
Do you know the best setting in the Mission editor?
When I set 15 windspeed the waves are much smaller.

Here is a screenshot. It looks horrible, because I set the contrast and the brightness very hard for seeing the waves.

You mean how to get the waves big in single missions? - then you have to set a setting in your save game, can't remember which as I am on a vacation right now long away from my PC at home.

As for the mission editor, that's one thing I newer have been examining, can anyone else help here?
