[REL] SteelViking&Community's Underwater Mod

[Capt Jack Harkness]

Looking great so far, though I do think the green is a bit much. From some digging online it seems most of the time the water's either a cyan or blue, only rarely a saturated green:

I Agree

The opening sequence of Das Boot is very VERY green.

I like the green look of this mod, reminds me of Das Boot.

Good work SV.

Lol, the opening sequence of Das Boot is a model in a tank... They never had a real boat for any of the shots.

Anyhow, I suspect this will be another debate without conclusion... Blue! Green! Blue! Green!

Model or not, it still looked good, and a darn fine movie

And a darn fine mod. Looks great SteelViking

Yes, usually the green colour comes from algaes and other sea life while clean deep water is dark blue. but also it depends of the sea life , currents, and depth.

With increasing depth underwater, sunlight is absorbed, and the amount of visible light diminishes. Because absorption is greater for long wavelengths (red end of the visible spectrum ) than for short wavelengths (blue end of the visible spectrum), the colour spectrum is rapidly altered with increasing depth and gives a bluish cast.



ps. what control the underwater colour in the game ? can be changed easily editing files ?

Yes, it is very easy to edit actually. The best way would be to go into the folder for my mod, and find data/Filters/ColorCorrection/hdr_underwater.cfg. Then change the values for ColorBalance however you want. They are clearly labeled. I would suggest not changing anything other than those colors though, because I have set everything else up just right to limit your sight range, and to make it darker at night.

Edit: By the way folks, I will not be changing the color underwater. I have seen sea water that shade of green before, and that is exactly how I like it. If you want it differently, just use the method I explained. If you get stuck, and you can't get it how you want, I would be glad to help.

Hello SteelVikking,

I got a question is this mod compatible with [REL] Environmental MOD 3.6
