Less Plankton

White Owl · 08-27-11, 10:34 AM

The Less Plankton mod reduces the appearance of floating clumps of plankton in all underwater views. The plankton is still visible so the ocean doesn't look like a crystal clear swimming pool, but it should be much less distracting.

Less Plankton is JSGME ready and should be compatible with most other mods. It's a simple graphics change, so you do not need to be in port before activating.

Please feel free to use and edit this mod for your own use or combine with other mods.

Two separate download locations: Subsim and CloudApp.

After patrolling for a little while today, I'm thinking I didn't get rid of enough plankton. Maybe it still looks a little too thick, especially at night. On the other hand, I don't want the water to look sterilized.

What do you think?

Edit: I updated this to version 1.2. Now the plankton is barely visible during the day, but doesn't seem so thick at night. I think it's a good compromise.

Yes, those are very good mods for anybody who wants the plankton completely gone. The screenshot above was made with RFB's scene.dat, modified with the 300' visibility info from Webster's mod. Thanks.

I like seeing the plankton, so the water looks full of life. I just don't want to see so much of it.
