How To Adjust Wave Height

Admiral Von Gerlach · 05-13-12, 04:14 AM

there is a mod here that is called something like Improved Default Environment, it adjusts the wave heights to a very realistic level, the default waves are just awful, big blobby undulations of formless water...so a change is despertly needed. you could study that one for the environemntal INI changes to see how it was done.

Not sure what file to look in, as I do have a few enviornmental mods, and I looked through them, but couldn't see anything that was concrete for adjusting them.

Thanks anyays though!

If you adjust the wave heights, throw in an occasional tsusami or rogue wave. You will become a legend.

I think people have tried to do that to no avail.

Too bad we can't do the same thing this newsreel footage of Halsy's Fleet in a Typhoon!

Winds up to 138 mph. And the Cruiser Pittsburgh lost 100ft off her bow, and made it back for repairs, as did the busted off bow section.

most the files are in the scene.dat, but the max height value seems to max out at 256, but other settings seem to have effect. I got some pretty big waves, but they remained a lil square at the top, but think some could be worked out, just got tired of testing it,
