Graphics problem with 16km mod

[U-2481]

Hello everyone!

I have problems with 16km mod that ruin my SH3. I've spent countless hours - to the point of exhaustion - searching the net and various forums to find a sollution, but have been unable to find one.

My final hope lies with you:

First, let me illustrate the problem:

SS taken from the bridge:







So far so good.

But then, as viewed through binoculars:



See the horizon? all black on a sunny day?

A few degrees to the right, through UZO:



Again, as you can see the sky is black...

This will NOT happen when viewed through periscope (attack or obs), only when viewed from bridge. Any ideas to why this happens - even better: any ideas how to correct the problem?

Some other, more minor glitches:



See the gun turrets? no textures.... .




I beg your help gentlemen. Even smallest bits of information would help!

Specs:

AMD 64 +3200
1 GB DDR @400
GF6600 GT / Forceware 84.21 / WinXP pro (SP1)

My SH3 mods:

patch 1.4b
SH3cmdr2.5
JSGME 1.4.0.49 (in order):
Nomo
Extend Unified Campaign (GW+NYGM)
GW ver 1.0 --- (should be patched to 1.1)
GW 24 h Fatique Model Alternate
vodkas_quiet_GW_clock
Torpedo --- (tweaks torpedo performance)
16 km Atmosphere Mod 16km version 2.0 LIGHT ---- (won't matter light or dark)
Improved U-Boat v103 16km ---- ( extracted this patch in effort to fix the problem, but no help).


Any suggestions?

Yours truly,

i dont even have my 16km working with NYGM but there was a fix quite a bit ago. Called 16km Fog Fix. Download it at u-boot.realsimulation.com

Thanks Salvadoreno for your fast reply!

Indeed, I tried to browse through u-boot.realsimulation.com's "general" DL section, but couldn't spot any patch named as such.

However, I'll keep on looking for a such patch - thanks for the tip, m8.

I am using 84.25 on my 6600 with reasonable results. The only issue I am having is the sun glare bloom...

U-Bones,

Just checked Nvidia's site and newest I could spot was 84.21 for WinXP.
Where did you obtain the 84.25?

I sure would like to give it a try....

There ya go dude. Im not sure if that will work but doesnt hurt to try..

Now i have a question.. I have NYGM TW and the default is 16km, yet my crew still spots ships at 6000-7000km. I THINK I can see 16km, but my watch crew cant.

Thanks m8! The final, uploaded file that was suggested in the thread u referred to was no longer available for DL from Fileshack... due to the lack of recent DL's .

No worries - same thread suggested a sollution to my problem and will employ that next. I will notify you all if it works . Salvadoreno, U have been most helpful!

As a counter, I think I have a sollution for you:

"Now i have a question.. I have NYGM TW and the default is 16km, yet my crew still spots ships at 6000-7000km. I THINK I can see 16km, but my watch crew cant."

DL minitweaker made by TimeTraveller and install it. With it u can modify easily your sensors.dat - file, which will enable your crew to spot enemy at the ranges you assign . If you need aditional help with it, I'm more than happy to to offer it.

Once again, thanks.

SS taken from the bridge? I swear on my sainted mother's vennison stew, that's not me in the picture and I wasn't anywhere near the scene of the crime!

I was going to suggest downloading the original 16k Atmosphere mod and using those filed, including the Scene.dat, but since you say you've found a solution I'll just duck inside this alley in case the Shore Police are coming.

Wasn't me, I tell you!
