Reduced visibility mod posted

Hello,

my very first mod here, coincidentally to a game I worked on

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=5231

it's goal is to reduce the underwater visibility in Cold Waters to values similar to those in Atlantic Fleet but also to slightly -very slightly I must say- differ depending on time of day and sky state

that said it isn't a "weather modification", oh no, it is simple increase of underwater "fog" to reduce visibility and player's chances to spot vessels or torpedoes at further ranges; also I have not toyed with the colour of underwater scenes, works good for me as it is

also this mod serves as simple example of basic modding of Cold Waters StreamingAssets files

Enjoy!

Good option for those who choose to play more hardcore.

I think I wrote in readme it further increases the difficulty of course it does so beware -now these pesky airdropped torpedoes seem to come literally out of the (deep) blue, not that these were anything but menace prior

Great mod - is there a setting to reduce the brightness of the beams of light dancing on top of the submarine?

Zero'ing out the following two settings get rid of it entirely, but the effect doesn't scale, it seems either on or off.

PrimaryLightIntensity=0
SecondaryLightIntensity=0
