A Grey Wolves Question:

Hello, I'm running SHIII 1.4b and GW1.1a.

Is there a way to disable the murky water feature in GW? I love everything else about the mod, and I know it is much more realistic, but I still hate the murky water...

You can, and probably should, use SH3 Commander to launch your GW game. It's a seperate program that has lots of neat features the most imporatant of which to you right now is the ability to set the water visibility to whatever you'd like.

3Jane · 11-18-06, 01:33 PM

Yes SH3 Commander is what you need. The water density can be set up to '20', which on my machine gives great underwater views.

There's been quite a lot of discussion on this - you may find it if you search re 'water clarity'.

The way to change it is to open SH3 Commander then go to SH3 Options/Gameplay Settings and set Water Clarity to 18 or 19. I haven't tried a 20 setting but I believe that gives unlimited visibility (in diving terms).

18 is perfect for me. No vids without water opacity.

Now see? Here's a perfect example of why this forum is so great. A nice, polite (and useful) reply, and a gentle 'nudge' that it's been answered a lot already and that searching beforehand might have dug up the answer.

Not a 'hey idjit! look before you post!'

Not a 'jeez, what a noob! You too stupid to figger it out on your own?'

Although Neal deserves

for the site itself, and the mods deserve kudos too, it's actually the members that make this such a wonderful place to visit and belong!

This is the most noob friendly forum out there.

As for Shikkapow's issue I've never heard of that one again. Maybe JSCones can handle that one.

Can you disable the "sabatoge" element of SH3 Commander? I just started playing with GW 1.1a and LOVE it so far... but the water opacity and the DAMN dark night are a bit annoying. And I loaded the 16k vis LIGHT mod. I litterally can barely see my Watch Officer on the bridge at night! Of course having a 20" Dell LCD doesnt help... its not a ultra bright monitor.

Sabotoge is not enabled by default. Try the 16k dark if the light version doesn't work. The weather mod and the rest you can find in this thread.

Thanks Fredbass....

Thank you for the assistance!
I have heard of SH3 Commander, but I'm not sure what it does... I'm going to go take a look.

SH3 COmmander is a MUST. Try it and you will not be able to play SH without it

I too use SH3 Commander and like the features. I also reccommend getting SH Weather

Shikkapow · 11-18-06, 05:09 PM

I can't use it. It will let me run SH3 one time, and the next time I run it starforce tells me that I have an invalid CD key.
Had to delete commander and SH3 runs fine.
