Still on vacation, thought I'd check out how you guys are doing...and by the looks of it, some people (hi, Kriller2!) are doing an AMAZING job!

Fish40 · 08-01-08, 07:50 PM

I wanna go there! Wherever that is

Peto · 08-01-08, 09:09 PM

I'm pretty sure I saw that chair on Palawan.

:p

Seeadler · 08-02-08, 02:37 AM

I will verify this, I must go in September for vocational reasons to Cebu and Palawan

Fish40 · 08-02-08, 03:19 AM

My Grandfather was in Palawan, only in 1944. The pictures he took look a heck of a lot different than that paradise

The light is not strong enough to cause the same coloration it does when the sun is out (blue wave length scattering), so color should shift in this case to a more reflective color.

If you have some light poking through and the haze becomes bluish, then the water will have a bluish cast similar to the screen shots.

Otherwise, with clouds and haze being gray, you'll only have traces of blue, usually more of a bluish green where there's foam, the bulk should have a grayish cast to it.

Hi Swdw,
thanks for the feedback, I needed that

and have corrected the water colour in storm and cloudy now, but if I set the fresnell coefiecient very low in the scene.dat it allso affects all other weather settings so I have left it so we have the nice glossy sea in bright daylight

but instead I have turned down the sun reflection a bit when storm and now the sea is a greyish colour with a little trace of blue, pictures coming up soon!

Hi all,

Here is the latest update, I have added some new bubles to the submarines and u-boats and made a new seabed and underwater-colours:

EDIT:
Here is a screenshot of the new storm-colours:

@Swdw is it better?

Defiance · 08-02-08, 07:00 PM

Looking Great as usual K2

Liking those seabeds with what looks like lots less weed/kelp

Keep on tweaking

shackman · 08-02-08, 07:22 PM

These shots are perfect in my opinion... Can't find the right words... truly jawdropping...

Do the underwater colors change with the bad weather as well into a more greyish look or do they stay that blue like in the underwater shots in sunny weather?

How is the fps-hit in comparison to the stock-game? I know it's one of the stupid questions to ask...but well my rig is kind of low-end and I'm getting worried that I can't play with your mod.

And another one I have... does this mod only affects the atlantic-waters or does it cover the arctic and mediterranean waters as well?

Best regards...and keep up the great work!!

keltos01 · 08-03-08, 03:46 AM

a beauty ! when do you think you'll release ?

KrOkOZyABrA · 08-03-08, 08:50 AM

Storm colours very good

, but underwater:hmm:

, maybe more green:hmm:

DrBeast · 08-03-08, 11:19 AM

To those that commented on my holiday pic: it's a shot from a beach near Kavala, northern Greece. What you see is the northernmost waters of the Aegean sea

The foot you see sticking out at the left? That's a guy who just saw the pics of PE4! :rotfl:

Fearless · 08-03-08, 09:37 PM

Truly amazing work

Thanks Shackman.

Yes the underwater colours will change a bit when in storm, but only the light coming from above the water, not the colour of the water that wouln't be realistic :hmm:

The PE4 mod will use a lower resolution sky texture than PE3, so it should run better than pe3, but I have made alot of other changes to the way the shaders works so don't know how it will affect perfomance on lower rigs, but soon (within a week) PE4 will go to testing and we will see

PE4 colours and environment is made to work with the pacific scenario and the u-boat campaign, but some of the changes to shaders etc. will allso affect the atlantic.
