Pacific environment 4 RELEASED

[Capt. Shark Bait]

gotta say, very nice mod . one thing i miss from PE2 are the all black HUD guages. never cared for red/green, and only one quibble. the water is too blue, even under a mainly cloudy sky. PE2 water seemed more "real" in comparison, all cold and uninviting like. PE4 sunrise/sets:hmm:

Hi Capt Shark bait (what a name )

here is a quick fix for you, download vers. 3.3 here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=133365

And copy the install / data / env / envatl.dat to your sh4/data/env it should give you a less vivid blue water colour, but may destroy the nice sunsets in PE4 :hmm:

[Sandman_28054]

Quick question as I did not read the entire thread.

I have SH4, patched to 1.4.

TMO mod.

Is it compatable with my current set up?

11.09.2008 PE4
– New sun sets and sun rises, with a more realistic cycle from yellow to orange / red.
– New realistic bow wave, thanks to Demonizer for using his mod as a base for my work.
– New modified pitch and roll to make the submarine/u-boat sail deeper, but still have roll
and pitch.
– New sea foam from Wclears EE mod, modified to match the blue sea-colour of PE4.
– New scene and clouds for more realistic waves and environment colours.
– Missing underwater bubbles and roll pitch for S-18, S-42 and U-boat added for TM and
stock SH4.
– New water shader by Nisgeis to support shallow transparent water including changes so
you now can see the sub submerged from a high altitude.
– Modified the shaders for postprocess filtering to stop the from being oversaturated during
sunsets with PPF.
– All japanese warships retextured.

Read the included manual for instructions on how to install PE4.

Hi, Try disable "#1 PE4 Install main" in JSGME.

1. find this file in the folder: "#1 PE4 Install main\Data\Misc\UMark.dds" and delete the file "Umark.dds"

2. enable "#1 PE4 Install main" again and play the game you should have your cursor of the location of the sub back

How are things going on this Kriller2, Any thing new to report?

[Jack_Sparrow]

Chaps.

Have received my U-Boat Missions disc from UBI today. Which I believe patches me up to 1.5

I have tried to download PE-4 from the link provided in Kriller2's first post, but it would appear the link is broken. I searched FF for any related files, but no luck.

Is PE4 mirrored anywhere? Any help appreciated.

Thank you - JS

Indeed it seems to be gone from FF.
Well, then it's good to have SHMF.
So check this link...

[Jack_Sparrow]

Many thanks indeed for the alternative download link Carotio.

Download from your site went without a hitch - tousand tak.
