about me not seeing any foam its probabaly because i have not experienced high winds or seas yet, i will have to put in that weather report option i guess.

I thought the same thing. Sailed about a week and half before a storm set in. Play it and it will come. Leo was looking for ways to get the weather to change a bit more frequently. I think that is on the back burner for the moment. Not to worry, the foam will come like it does with beer on tap

What about brand new ships that have never been seen before?

to the DAT file and get the info to you in what every way you ask me to how does that sound? PM or posted on here or on your thread just let me know where you want it.

I'm taking the liberty of asking for deepiron

We're orbiting the field waiting for S3D to deal with 3d stuff, but in the meantime, the more we learn, the better

the info for the water reflection but here it is anyways

Reflect_???_??? for what ever ship name it is open that node up with S3d then open up water reflection node and set it to what is listed below

Clip hight=0
Reflection=1
Refraction=1
Frustum test=0
MinVisDim=0.01
MaxVisDim=0.1

Then you are good to go hope that gives you the information you wanted.

We tryed it higher than this but got undesirable effect's in long distance viewing because the ships are not as high res as the sub's

Hi Leo, had a chance to really play with the mod on today. I tried the new scene file that corrects some of the sky colours and it worked a treat, before I was getting the slightly 'whited out' look and now its gone.

Noted a couple of things that cropped up and grabbed a couple of screen shots to illustrate if I could, so here goes:

I've been getting a flckering, blinking effect on some of the instruments in the control room namely the TDC. If you can see the bottom lefthand corner of the black pannel was missing there for an instant. I think this may be an issue with the new camera angles?

Some of the reflections from ships at night are very bright and ghost-like. Somebody else noted this and I'm getting it too.

These two pictures were taken of the same smoke but as I moved the bridge view to the left extra smoke appears as the fires reach the edge of the screen.

Also I'm getting some distortion and flickering at the edges of the screen while im panning the view especially if I do it quickly.

Ok just thought I'd let you know what glitches I'm getting to give you some more feed back. They are all pretty minor things and I don't know how far they are issues just with my system (which I do run pretty much at its limits). Anyway apart from those it runs really well the colours are spot on!

I'll let you know if I manage to cure any of these bugs myself I read earlier about duplicated files so Ill have a look into that.

in another thread I will either have to ask him or find it myself. It happens with all camera's that have been modified I did notice it myself and never got around to trying his fix and now it looks like I should have paid attention some more to it LOL!!!

Had a quick look for this, remember seeing it as well

By the way took ROW for a quick rip, looks amazing, will post more about this later on.

Thanks Leo

tater · 09-22-07, 08:36 PM

Thx, leo. If it's a S3D type change, that's easy to do, I was worried someone had to make new textures or something.

SH4 got to "golden age" pretty quickly.

Awesome work, just awesome (hard to believe this is what you guys call "alpha").

leovampire · 09-22-07, 08:36 PM

NoActionMatureOutOfFrustum

and either turning it on or off was the last I remember but that might have been for the smoke effect's

tater · 09-22-07, 08:37 PM

^^^ Anyone report on what that does to FR?

leovampire · 09-22-07, 08:41 PM

for all angles around you even though the camera is not focused on it then there is a hell of a chance for a slow down when multiple ships are on fire and smoking. So changing that could cause a major slow down but for inside camera views I don;t see any problem what so ever in changing the value.

BTW thanks for the compliment tater in credit's LOL

it's pretty easy to "fix" this, however removing this can affect performance and i wouldn't recommend it. Look for "NoActionMatureOutOfFrustum" inside the particles.dat and switch it from true to false and the particles should stay even when you're not looking at the emitter.

Think this is it ^^^
