[REL] Environmental MOD for Silent Hunter 5

[Captain Can]

w_clear thanks for this great mod!You have a great taste for eye-candy mate!

ACSoft thanks for your climatezone file!however i am occasionally getting CTD like many others who have already written feedbacks.it seems like you have knowladge with modding/this mod.i would love to see you and w_clear cooperate.with w_clear's permission you can check some other files which makes you think that causes CTD.

i am sure everyone will be happy with a more bug/CTD free EnvMode.cause you cant simply go back to vanilla graphs after using this great mod!

Cheers!

Hi Captain Can,

This is exactly what I am trying to do since a few weeks now !!! But unfortunately we have a very big language barrier problem. I don't speak/write Chinese and W_clear English is very limited.

Actually I try to communicate with him using "Pictogram's" like this:

For example here after, the pictogram's I made to try to convince him to use a better "ClimateZones.tga" I have made from "Astradeus" previous enhancement work in July (see: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=170162 )










In this last one I sent to him, I try to convince him to correct his "Tropical_A color" palette and create a new "Temperate_A" palette, to be used with Astradeus map:



Maybe some of you will find all this very funny, but it is the only way I found to communicate with W_clear, in a way he should understand me !!!

Actually, I don't know if he really understand what I mean and proposed to him to do, but he apparently don't want to go in that direction. Maybe he has very good reasons for that. I mean, he is the Great Expert, not me. But unfortunately, he can't explain clearly to me why.

ACSoft i hope this problem will not let you down with your current "trying to make this mod more CTDs/bugs free" progress. there is a chinese forum under subsim international. maybe you can find someone who is willing to help you comunicate with w_clear at there. so that he will know by sending him all those Pictogram's you are willing to help with CTD/bug problems not messing up with his own work/his own taste with this mod .

Cheers!

does version the new 4.3 contain AC Softs Fix? just curious!

ACSoft, how about you open another topic with the fix files you made for this mod? The language barrier between you 2 is a problem for all of us, so it could be more useful to find all these fixes in a single topic instead of being buried here. Right now its pretty hard for us to find all these critical fixes every time when the mod gets updated.

Yes, W_clear has adopted the color map file "ClimateZones.tga" without illegal colors I made for him.

Actually, the only fix I made public is the corrected color map file I have just mentionned and this file is now included in W_clear mod. So, speaking of my work, you don't need find anything buried into the depth of this thread.

The changes described in my pictogram's is something totally different. It is, to my view, an improvement of the climats zones distribution and refinement of color palettes. As it use a totally different color map file (which I have also corrected for illegal colors), maybe it will have an effect on CTD too, but perhap not in the good direction !!! To know if the stability would be improved with this design, would require I made public this "mod of W_clear mod" and this is actually not my intention.

I offered to W_clear to adopt this color map and to help him to finalize this new design, but if he prefer not to do so, on my side, I am not very warm to start a public "mod of W_clear mod" thread. This is something who could be considered unfair by W_clear.

I sure laughed a bit at the pictograms, but it's still quite nice of you to try and help W_clear with this. I hope he didn't take it personal !

Everybody wins here.

请问。你们每次巡逻的区域有多大？要感受不同的海水颜色，必须这么做。
I ask. Every time you patrol the area be? To feel the water in different colors, must do so.
我的目的就是让玩家在短时间内感受海水的变化
My purpose is to allow players to feel the sea change in a short time

I like the new fog in mod...but there are those ships reflections which I think don't suppose to be there...Can they be removed when there isn't sunny weather?
