One of them being that you can only define one light source which is the sun so when the sun goes behind the horizon the sea would go black unless you had:

1. very calm sea, because then the reflections from the sky could make the water ligter.
2. No dark clouds, because then the shadows of the clouds would make the ocean black.

To archive a more natural colour of the water instead of the black silver like ocean which could be seen i modified the shaders so that the clouds shadows lightens up the ocean instead of darken it and had to increase the reflection-power in the scene.dat and the way the different files works.

So enjoy PE4 and know that I am aware of the problems

BTW and thanks for the nice comments about this mod it makes both me and Nisgeis happier so that we can try not to concentrate about all the things we wanted to do at the begining of PE4 and the things we had to scrap due to problems with the way the "old" SH4-engine works.
Kriller2 - thank you for the mod. It is good to know that after your rest you will work on fixing the lines and purple water that occasionally I find. The other facets of this fine mod relating to the environment improvements make the gaming experience so much better to see as compared to the vanilla environment. I appreciate all the hard work and effort on the mod. Enjoy some rest and good luck in your continued support and improvement of the mod.
