Gumpy · 07-18-09, 10:29 PM

I would like to clear up my water a little bit,could someone tell me which part of the scene data file deals with water clarity?Have searched many posts and threads but not sure what to tweak,and yes I do have the editor I just need to be pointed to the right node. Thanks in advance for any help.

I think you need to adjust the settings in the ENV folder.
EnvColors_blah blah blah.
Not the scene.dat

No it's the scene data file because I just tweaked it.Thanks anyway.

Tells you what I know.

Glad you got it sorted.

privateer didn't know something about SH3?!?!?!

I'll be in my underground shelter until after the coming apocalypse.

If you're refering to underwater clarity then this may help you.

Open the scene.dat with Sh3-editor and look for the following entry:

The highlighted "ZMax=15" is the area that you'd need to tinker with (both ZMin and Zmax). I forget what each of the values correlate to but basically a higher number equates to better visibility. I guess you could trial and error your way to what you want (my values above are for poor visibility and very murky underwater clarity).

I hope that helps!

I guess I'll have to remove my sig now.

The GUI and enviroment stuff is something I don't mess with.
That's VooDoo stuff to me.

You got the Great ones like OLC for that.

True that.

But you're all great at what you do!

The level of skill and craftsmanship you guys display just turns me inside out! I'd be one of the first in line to vote for a "Modders' Appreciation Day" to be added to the Subsim Calendar.

I know just enough to be a danger to myself and my SH installations.

For me, hex editing will likely always be just a notch below witchcraft, in its arcane complexities, but staring at the files as they're presented in S3D has begun to brighten the light bulb filament a bit.
