GWX3.0 and Marhk's Ocean MADNESS v2?

prowler3 · 12-25-08, 10:07 PM

I'm in the process of dl'ing GWX3.0 now. While I'm waiting I was reviewing some of my non-GWX mods to see if any glaring incompatibilities might jump out. After reading about (and seeing the screenshots of) the fantastic looking GWX3.0 improvement in water rendering, I'm wondering if Marhk's Ocean MADNESS v2 will interfere with it? I use the mod to lighten up the environment...I just can't figure a full moon in the sky and STILL not being able to see anything at night? It seemed to work well with GWX2.1 but with 3.0's obvious improvements to the environment (thanks OLC!) I'm checking first before I use Marhk's Ocean MADNESS v2.

Excellent, Koondawg. Are you saying that Marhk's Ocean MADNESS v2 did not work with GWX2.1? Perhaps it was some monitor settings or nVidia control panel, on my part, which seemed to lighten the night slightly? I'm not looking to see targets on a dark, stormy and rainy night 6,000 meters away...it is what it is. Those quiet nights with clear skies are too dark for me, however.

I get the feeling, without knowing much, that the moon phase or (maybe even) cloud cover doesn't change the general "lightness/darkness" of the environment in SH3?

Anywho...will be looking for your update.

Thanks!

I also suffer from the GWX nights being WAAAY to dark...and its due to my crappy old DELL 2001FP LCD monitor, not GWX.

I did find that if you have a NVIDIA card, if you go into the NVIDIA control panel/color correction and up you Digital vibrance to around 30% or so...it DOES lighten it up a bit, without the whitewash effect of jacking with your contrast levels.

My digital vibrance is already at 100%

Use the gamma and brightness controls to adjust it to your likeness. That is what I had to do when I was using my old CRT.
