It also could be you might have to select "override application setting" under AA Mode.

Hi fellow NV users , I run a 8800GTX and finally managed to get sun flare back while running FSAA x4 ....... DISABLE GAMMA CORRECTION under FSAA and ALSO
ENABLE MULTISAMPLE TRANSPERANCY ANTIALIASING in NV control panel settings .

good luck , and happy hunting

Toastman out .....

This version is now out for testing. I have optimized the graphics and made it possible to choose between 2 options "high quality" and "more fps" so now PE should run better on most systems.

Allso made new textures for the environments, rocks, stone, water and sky so expect a more detailed world in version 2.

Enjoy the pictures, soon this will be your hunting ground

I tend to believe it must be something in the seafoam or spray. If I'm looking from the side view and pan enough to take the props out of view, the FPS instantly jumps back up. This also applies to any boat with a prop. In addition, if I'm looking at the boat at peroscope depth, the FPS stays good. That's why I'm assuming it must have to do with the foam or spray. I'm currently using GE Force 8600Gt with 169.25 drivers (the most current).

Hi Soundman.
Thanks for comment about the FPS isssue. That was allso my observation, so I have been optimizing the graphics that controls those things for PE 2 and just by doing that, it gave the game a 5-10 FPS increase and by optimizing the underwater effects gave the game a FPS increase underwater as well.

I can confirm as i am testing it right now, this rocks by far the best work yet.

Hiya's,
Looks fab Kriller

Must say it's great your carrying on and improving the visuals for us all



I have delved trying modding a bit the passed 2 days err well nights lol (after a self taught crashdive into paintshop)

You know the new funky warning icons with 1.5 (like the one that pops up when your underwater (well i never, i go to periscope depth and heavens above i'm below water lmao)) i managed to get rid of them and kept the re-fuel/port etc as per 1.4

Hopefully gonna attempt to change some stuff on the hud visuals

Anyways, Seeing as i post here mainly, Anyone fancy sending/uploading 2 small stock files for me ?

I'm after the 2 Hud.dds files from stock 1.5 add-on, Ones american others german they are in ....

Data/Menu/Skins/American and also German/Gui/Layout

I've got that much mess going on the pc now i don't wanna swap stuff around while i'm learning this dds stuff he he

before i had a red orb/yellow orb, no shining 12 hours a day.

Well I know what I did ATR-42. I didn't hit the apply button in the nvidia control panel . Now that I have the right setting, it working just fine. Sometimes I feel like I just got my first computer. I amaze myself at some of the simple things I can overlook.

Hi Defiance,
Thanks I have allso used HUGE amounts of time on this project and if all the testers don't find any big bugs, this mod will be released and I will take a big break from modding.

Regarding your question. I think the hud for the american camp. is in menu/gui/layout hud.dds. but bear in mind that the file allso includes an alpha layer whch controls what should be transparent. I had some funy results in the start, because I didn't realize that

I don't know where the hud for the u-boats is, but it seems the devs have seperated the files for the german campaign in these folders:
SH4\Data\UPCData
SH4\Data\UPCDataGE

Good luck with you hud project.

Kriller, I'm getting a little confused about the multiple links.

At the moment, do I need the 1.1A,and the new SH4 scene, and the 1.2, in that order?

See video here:


See the new water reflections here:

Yes you download 1.1a and the SH4 scene in that order. Sorry for the confusion, but soon you will only need one download.

[DrBeast]

Just checking in to see the progress, and now I'm positively drooling! Our server here at the Uni died yesterday, succumbing to the plague of multiple blackouts, and we were out of internet for the whole damn day!

Good news is, I placed the order for the new parts! Sometime next week I'll be the proud owner of:

Intel C2D E8200 CPU
ASUS P5K SE motherboard
Kingston PC6200 1GB DDR2 RAM...not very proud of that, really, but it was dirt cheap! One stick so I can add another one later on to bring the RAM to 2 GB and enable dual-channel
ATi HD3650 PCI-E graphics card (256MB DDR3 version)
WD SATA2 320GB hard disk

The rest will be salvaged from the old PC. Best config I could come up with...318 Euros, tax-free (it's good to have a professor who knows people in computer stores!)!

Can you tell us when it will be available approximately, please, Sir ?

[MONOLITH]

Those videos look great kriller.

IIRC, you were on an ATI, right? Is that video using the GPUperfStudio?
