Excellent stuff Kriller. Looking forward to sailing in the weather!

Thanks AvgHawk

, sorry for keeping you and others waiting, but we want this to be as good as possible and we are still discovering new things as we work and test the files.

Syxx_Killer · 09-01-08, 03:21 PM

Those videos look sweet, kriller! Awesome job!

For all his guidance and work on the new water shader, watch it with a CD playing waves hitting the shore

I will try to upload some more videos later, btw the colour may seem a little odd (the storm is more grey and the sunset is more yellow in sh4), but that's because of the change I did with the shaders, it looks good in realtime.

Nice videos

Haven't heard from you about the cloud textures, I sent you. Are they useable or what do I need to change in order to avoid the "square pattern" in the sky? Because I would like to have the storm clouds look more terrifying than the usual grey.

Defiance · 09-01-08, 07:20 PM

It just keeps getting better and better K2 and "The Crew"

I myself don't mind the wait after seeing the above posts, and then you saying you're finding new things to do

Keep up the great work guys

Fish40 · 09-02-08, 03:57 AM

The new shallow water shaders look great, as dose the new sunset colors in the videos

One thing I never noticed, was if there was ever a dynamic surf line in this game as there is in IL2. It would be cool to see the surf rolling in and out along the shoreline

Then again, you're on the water, not on land or flying over it to see anything anyway. And besides, even though the water action in IL2 is great, it is a real FPS killer

Keep up the great job guys! I'm eagerly awaiting this release!

I did some attempts a few weeks ago, with all the basic settings maxed out the harbours fade out at 3km, it's a real killer

I tried a few things but came up with no result at all.

I know LeaVampire worked on the drawing distance of the buildings and he got it working with ROW and SH4 1.4, but after the SH 1.5 his changes don't seem to affect in game, maybe it's because the devs increased the scene's drawing distance or something. Anyway the file to work with is harbourkit.dat in there are some visib values which should be changed for every object with S3D (there alot of those 250 or something..)

Great work !

Any chances PE4 will be incorporated into the RFB Mod ?

Or maybe RFB into PE4 :p ?

Can't wait for the release.

Nisgeis · 09-02-08, 05:51 AM

RFB uses W_Clear's Environmental Effects mod, so probably not.

I believe SWDW is working on a RFB compatibility "patch" for PE4.

extraterrestrial · 09-02-08, 10:37 AM

Wow, i like the new bow wave, especially that it's getting higher when it hits the waves. This was'nt in stock game, was it?

The General · 09-02-08, 10:52 AM

No, that's certainly not stock E.T.

I want to applaud K2 for the amazing work shown in those videos, I was gobsmacked!

Actually, Observer is going to be doing a good chunk of the compatibility as he's rewritten the zones.cfg file for the new damage models being incorporated. He's also double checking the files for the subs to make sure I haven't missed something.
So when it's done, he'll deserve the most credit for this by far.
