Reinstall - transparant water vanished..

moosenoodles · 09-08-07, 02:11 PM

Hi guys,

Could we get an amendment in either TM/LBO or Krillers threads, to show the order of install for these mods? Some reason I dont seem to be able to see below the sea a distance like you could in stock sh4, i dont see the subs props etc when looking from above anymore..

Not sure whats happened but i might reinstal the lot incase to clear my mind..

Info appreciated on correct order for the upto date mods regarding lbo/tm/krillers etc... hard to follow sometimes..

Cheers

James.

no one has touched the water transparency at all only I have done this work reciently and it is not released yet as a mod.

In calm sea's you should be able to see the props just fine but as soon as the waves start to pick up that ability starts to drop as it should do like in real life.

Have you reciently changed any of the settings for your video card as far as performance setting's?

Have you gone to the video card's site and see if there are new drivers that can be installed?

If you look at the scene.dat file with the mini tweeker original water opacity setting was 255 I beleve.

In the first drop down General Environmental.

The latest NVidia beta driver with improved compatibility for Bioshock for example,
produce much anomalies if one use TM1.6/LBO with it. Stock SHIV or TM 1.4 has no problems but any other mod with the new modifications in the scene and camera files, like the pre-released Environment Mod or latest LBO, produce visual errors like textures are not correctly mapped on water surface and sky, clouds changing colors to psychedelic ones etc.
