Stock water transparancy

[stabiz]

Is there any way of getting this back while playing Grey Wolves? I really like to watch the dc`s go by me using free view. (yeah, its cheating, etc)

Get yourself TimeTravellers mini tweaker programm and his tweak files.
Install programm, point it to your SH3 folder.
Open the scene_dat.txt file.
Go to the section called underwater.
Change the value "UnderwaterFogEnd" to a higher number.
Guess with "18" you´ll get max underwater visibility, personally i´m using 12 or 14.
Mini tweaker programm will create a backup file, which has to be moved out of the game folder or deleted.
This step is essential to make the change work!
Hope this was helpful, please excuse my english.

Thanks, mate!

But I have no scene_dat.txt, only scene_dat?

Hi stabiz,

launch MiniTweaker, press 'Load Tweak File', point to 'scene.dat.txt' and load it...

Should be the right one!
Maybe your OS is not displaying file extensions (.txt .exe. .zip .rar...)

edit:
confirmed if you select "don´t display file extensions for known file types"
or whatever it´s called in english windows version in your explorer options, the mini tweaker does not display the extension either. But you´ve chosen the right file, don´t worry!

[stabiz]

Yeah, but I dont see that file in the tweaker, just in the normal windows-window. (lol, what a sentence)

Because of Grey Wolves?

[Gammel]

do you have the tweak files installed? It´s a seperate download and then they have to copied/extracted to the tweakers programm directory (into the "tweak files" folder inside the programm folder).

In case you didnt get the tweaker to work, here is a gw scene.dat (with sergbutos moon reflections included) where i set the transparency to 16.

But it would be more satisfying to get the tweaker to work, you can do funny stuff with it...

It´s the 16KM version!!!

[stabiz]

Wow, you guys are great ... Thanks, gammel, will try this tomorrow, too tired right now. (Just saw Collateral again, great flic, despite having Cruise in it)

Thanks again, just imagine customer support being as brilliant as this community.

Players using SH3Cmdr can ignore all of the above - SH3Cmdr provides a simple interface to adjust the water transparency setting.

Note that the setting can be between 0 (opaque) and 20 (transparent). 18 is the vanilla SH3 setting.

[stabiz]

Strange stuff, this, cause wiyh the tweak files I get to access the scene_dat.txt, but there is nothing in it called "underwater", so I cant change underwaterfogend.

However, I changed the wateropacity to 18. I`ll hvae a go now to see if it worked.

Thanks againg, sombreros!


Edit: Nope, I propably need to change that fogend somehow. Starting to feel stupid here.

[Gammel]

You´ll make it! No need to feel stupid.

[stabiz]

:rotfl:Nevermind, I found the drop-down window now.

Thanks for all help!

Ok I have tried to find this scene_dat.txt but it my version (Clean US SH3 patched with GW 1.1a)
it doesn't exist so where can I manually go and find the file because none of you have mentioned the actual address of the file (ex: C:\Stuff\SH3\ etc..)
so where do I go?
