Beautiful Reflections and water by accident

Stager00 · 05-14-07, 11:19 AM

Was I was experimenting by copying the MISC folder from SH4 into SH3 and the two Scene.dat and Scene.sim files as well. The result was georgious reflections and water. Just in case someone wants to pursue which files caused this and go further.

You know, just thinking here...
I wonder if some, if not all, files can be interchanged between sh3 and sh4? Like the water reflections perhaps the environmental effects as well. The two sims are very similar in that respect. Someone posted a post in SH4 community that made the journey from the pacific to wilhelmshaven and the music was playing along side the pier, although by a ghost band.
Very interesting and thought provoking post.

yep i thought so to when i made that post...

but i got flamed for "poking fun at SH4"

when in fact i was trying to point out exactly how similar the two sims are... interchangability of files is something to look into.

If anything will influence me to play SH4 it will be the day that someone mods sh4 into SH3PLUS bringing things back to the atlantic

My machine is just that bit too old for SHIV, but if some of the effects could be modded to SHIII, I'm sure there wouldn't be a huge difference in fraps, IMO it would be most excellent!!

Looks good

Someone should explore this more.

Hey, that's awesome! I love the reflections in SHIV and that would be a great feature to be included in SHIII too

I'm eager to hear more about it.

I also copied the shaders folder over...but I doubt that had much to do with it as there likely are no calls for that file in SH3.

Can you provide a little more detail on what you did

? You mention it above, just need a little more.

I copied the data/misc folder from SH4 over to the data/misc folder of SH3..and then the Scene.dat, scene.sim, and scene.dsd over to the data folder as well.

Then copied the SH$ "shaders" folder under data to SH3 data(although I doubt that had much to do with it).
