[REQ] Less "water" poping out from the subs

thyro · 04-11-07, 01:01 PM

Dear gurus of mods/devs

I reckon that pacific ocean will raise 1m per month... At this rate ports/towns will be flooded and majority of pacific islands will be under water.

US subs seem to pop out gallons of water while take much less of it. :hmm:

This might be an ultra weapon used by US to allow their subs to dive in JP town centers... but is just a speculation...

Could someone look at the water issue please?

Cheers

Do you mean this ?

If you mean that, its the worst (if one can call it that) graphical effects in the game...the "chunks of water" looks sort a 90s "like ball bit maps" or something.
Agree in that case...but how to fix it :hmm:

Right that

not only is a bit ugly but also pops out in large quantities of it...

even if you are sailing in slow gear... or stoped and a "micro wave" touch for a micro-second one of those "black" spots. It pops out "gallons" and "gallons" of "water" through it.

I do agree graphically its a monster in comparison to the water and fluid dynamics.

Would someone know how to reduce it or turn those pixeis from white to transparent (or near transparent)?

Cheers

I'd definitly like to see a fix for this. I love that water comes out of the sub like that, I think its an awesome effect. What I dont like it what it looks like. Not only is there too much of it, but the color just seems wrong to me, all bright white and doesnt look fluid at all. Even changing the color to something that looks more clear would be a big improvement. Definitly the only part of the game graphically that looks lazy.

Whilst the effect is very real...The water coming from the "Limber holes" is just sea water that that has flooded the outer skin..So each time your sub gets a soaking from a big wave..then yes you should see the water streaming away from the limbers....
but yes I do agree it needs "Toning down" in it's present form it looks like soap suds from a washing machine.....Not at all watery...Also it "Glows" at night.

Yep, they're not 'pumping' it out; that whole area's hollow. It flows in, and it flows back out. If you walk on the the deck you can look down and see the water between you and the pressure hull.

I agree, though, it could have been better done.
