{REL} Interior Tweaks

[brett25]

Hi. If you would like to make your interior look more claustrophobic and moody, with out all that fog. Here is how to do it simply. Im using FM interior which I recommend, however this will work for any interior and any mod.

This is the effect you will get:












1. Using S3D Editor open the file \data\Interior\NSS_Uboat7\NSS_Uboat7_CR.dat

2. Click on the plus next to Interior Root-COMMAND ROOM

3. Click on the plus next to Fog Parameters, click on Fog Parameters and enter the following dats: Near distance= -2.5
Far Distance= 40.0
Color R 51 G 58 B60

4. Scroll down to Light -Ambient Control Room (the yellow light bulb) and click on the plus sign

5. Click on the plus next to Interior Light and click on Interior Light.

6. Click on Daylight Color and at the bottom where the color swatch is enter: R 135 G91 B1 (or try R90 G65 B12 for darker less yellow)

7. Click on Nightlight Color and enter: R120 G26 B18

8. Save this file to desktop (you will replace your original NSS_Uboat7_CR.dat file with this one

8. down load my wide angle camera (optional) which will provide a wider interior view: http://www.gamefront.com/files/15722...Wide_Camera_7z

You can play around with the color and brightness of your interior this way with what ever setting you like.

Is there some kind of guide with regards to the lighting colors, or is this just a trial and error thing?

Moin,

@RDP:

you can easily pick the color you want from the S3D-built-in color chart.


@brett25:

depending on the version/mod you use, you should alter the settings in RR.dat and CT.dat too. Otherwise you might end up with different lighting solutions. If using FM_NI, search for a second appearance of "Ambient" as there are two, IIRC ("AmbientLightCR" and "AmbientLightRR"). Not sure about the OH_V3.09. IIRC I had one of the *.dat files skipped completely.

Regards,
DD

Hey thanks, great info.

Hey DD, thanks alot for that info. So far it seems as if this CR.dat file has affected the lights in the other sections of FM interior. I think all of FMs work is part of the CR.dat file. I will look into this more, however as its a work in progress.

Hi reallydeadpoet, yes there is a color chooser in the S3D editor. Keep in mind color isnt the whole thing, also important is saturation and brightness. Just fool around and you will see the affects of various colors and brightness/saturation values. Its fun!

Hi mate,

Nice tweaks sorry if i didn't reply earlier i have system problem

Best regards Hans

[brett25]

Hey Hans, thanks! you were stuck on the bottom for a few days with a malfunction...I know your PC is getting a lot of action these days

Will this tweak work with stock SHIII interiors or is it just for FM interiors?

yes most cetainly any interior will do. Not a foolish question, the main purpose of releasing a mod like this is to help introduce folks to Skwaser's S3D editor (with out him none of this is possible!) and then for folks to experiment and make there own mods too. There are many aspects of the game that can be altered this way, some very technical some less like this one here.

For example by editing some color settings in the EnvColors_Atl.dat file, I was able to make this Das Boot underwater green:

[Bakkels]

Wow, that's some creepy chemical-waste-looking-green-water you got going on there
But I've never seen Das Boot () so what do I know right.
O.T.: s3 editor is quite the beautiful program. It let's you change almost anything in the game. I'm only just starting to figure out all the things you can do with it, but it sure is a fantastic tool.

Half this community or more are Das Boot heads (me included). For some, that movie is the reason they got into sub sims. The others don't care either way. to each his own. I can assure you thats the underwater color in the film. Artistic license I believe its called
