[REL] Improved Atlantic Waves

HanSolo78 · 03-07-10, 02:49 PM

Hi!

Since some of you know me from SH3, I didn´t want to swap to SH5 because of its developement status...
But things change!

So.. here I am again.. and the first thing that bothered me was the bad sea/wave simulation with higher waves and overall height of the waves which seemed too large for habours and more realistic ship behaviour.

This mod changes the sea states and the behaviour of ships/sub to more realistic waves.

EDIT:
I made a video to compare the boat movement: -> Have a look at the bouncing in the stock waves!

EDIT2:
Today I reworked the sim.fiels from the submarines to improve the pitch & roll behaviour and also adjusted the higher waves.

Good to see you here Hans, thanks for this and I look forward to more of your excellent work!

voidster · 03-07-10, 03:00 PM

thank you

briklebritt · 03-07-10, 03:40 PM

Can you post screenshots to compare?

STRG+F11 works for me

PL_Andrev · 03-07-10, 03:52 PM

Some photos before / after?

Hansolo, I know your work very well for SH3. Thanks to you and the rest of the modders that game has come to perfection imho.

I was always downloading your work before but now Ill post and say thanks man.

still no screenshots... could anybody who already installed the mod post some pictures, please

Nico71 · 03-08-10, 05:28 AM

Great! Now the boat doesn't look like a lightweight toy any more!

The video in the OP shows a lot more than a screenshot would.

I'm so torn on this.. lol

I really like the big beautiful blue transparent waves when unmodded.
But i really like the realistic ship bobbing and slower waves in this mod.

But tbh the wave heights are too low, it looks silly in the middle of the atlantic with a few ripples at 0m/s, there's still turbulence and currents forming waves irl. It almost looks artificial how calm it is sometimes.

And the ocean is just darker for some reason, maby because of the sub-surface scattering, with lower waves there's less "potrouding water" to get light shining through it?
I wish there was a version that ONLY changed the ship / wave motions, not the height or strength of the waves or anything else.

Mark75 · 03-08-10, 03:11 AM

Much better compared with the stock version, thanks a lot for this.

THM · 03-08-10, 06:56 AM

Awesome! Great contribution!

I will give it a try when at home (currently at work

).

Cheers!

nice if you added a screen shot to show case your mod.
