M.E.P v4 - PreView Pics

makman94 · 03-04-12, 11:15 AM

thanks to H.Sie's vampire night fix i decided to rework my enviro as critical corrections to scene.dat where needed .

at this new version almost everything is new....from 3d models,bump maps,reflection maps,colors,clouds but most important from all are the reworked enviro lights-fogs colors and distances for making the H.Sie's vampire fix working absolutely smoothly.

the enviro is still at wip stage (some tiny details are left to be done)

Some pics :

Maester Makman, only a question: WHEN???? (anxiety attacks are common in SUBSIM Forums).

It seems the pre-definitive environment for SH3 (I´m sorry, but you know the definitive will be the HAHD environment...).

Many thanks and regards.

Great news, makman94

I like your environmental pack very much, imho it's the best set for SH3.
What's estimated release time?

PS. Could you upload more screenshots of good weather? Am I wrong or is water darker than in MEPv3?

These are the closest environment I've seen yet to match what I see around the Atlantic Waters of the coast of Ireland

Looking Great

Not me, but just of my home coast of Galway

Thank you makman!

I am already using your M.E.P v3 along with GWX and hsie's V16A3 and Stiebler's addon for new grid orders.

I am in port now. I'll wait for your M.E.P v4 before I go on the next patrol.

this looks great, really really great, but...

how often, actually, do you see reflections of boats in the water when viewed from a distance, in conditions other than a glassy calm?

the two images where there are no reflections seem to me more convincing than the images where there are reflections

what do you think?

how would this image look, for example, without reflections?

Thanks for the preview pics -very nice

. I'm a happy user of your Widescreen MaGui mod & am looking forward to trying out your new M.E.P. version.

I was following the original ' VampireNightVision Bugfix' thread & noted h.sie's comments that he thought the fix 'looks very good in environments that use very dark nights', because of ships moving through the fog curtain & seeming to appear out of the dark, as they come into visible range. I was wondering if the nights in your new M.E.P version will be any darker than M.E.P. v3. I appreciate the difficulty in striking the right balance between realism/immersion and playability in these matters.
