How to fix a couple of things?

cardiff · 03-21-12, 07:03 PM

I was wondering if anyone has fixed, or knows how to manually fix (ie not part of a large mod) ships stopping dead in their tracks once hit by a torpedo/bomb/amunition. Heres an example of what happens, and hence the second torpedo misses because the ship stops:

Also after the torpedo hits a large halo apears in the water that shows through the ships. Example:

Also how do i reduce underwater visability to SH4 levels, example:

SH5

SH4 (how i would like it)

No one have any hints or tips?

I've been trying to find out how to increase water cloudiness too. It's got to be somewhere in the underwater.cfg file but I haven't been able to figure out what setting control it.

SH5 water is WAY too clear. I don't know why they make visibility like a pool. Not realistic.

About the underwater visibility, this one might work:

Also, I believe this one does it too (I remember it being very murky when I used that one, so it may be too murky for you too).

I'm not sure, but you might want to look into Data/Env/SeaParameters.cfg

There is a lines there called TransparancyDistance and TransparancyDistanceUnder.

When I did my minimod reducing transparency both underwater and from above for SH4 I used Data/Shaders, but there was a file there labeled "Transparency", and SH5 is different.

Thanks everyone

Ive edited data/env/fogdistances.cfg to this

And this is the result:

Looks ok IMO

Any ideas on how to stop ships stopping dead in their tracks once hit? Or where to look? Also how to stop the white 'sea disturbance' showing thorugh ships once hit?

Awesome! Does this effect actual weather fog or just underwater visibility? thanks

Everything is normal above the water, this only affects below the water. Have absolutely no clue with my 2 other problems!

The "stopping on a dime" problem only seems to happen to me when a ship is split in two. At that point, it doesn't really matter what any other incoming torpedoes do. I don't notice it though for normal torpedo hits.
