This is not code finchOU, but just a bunch of parameters with arbitrary names whose effect needs to be figured out
...and, by the way, they can be edited in notepad

This one should be a dimensional factor, probably it gets multiplied to ScaleX, ScaleY and ScaleZ for determining respectively the width, height and lenght of far waves. This leads me to think that the parameter we are looking for could be ScaleZ (= wavelenght); the bigger the wavelenght, the lower waves frequency

Anyone wants to try?

I don't think so. According to their name, those parameters should affect light reflection:

perhaps a PM to Pintea - he would know

Good to know.
So it was a visual effect of reflection wich made me thought waves were more spaced!

Yes, Pintea might point us in the right direction, but I am pretty sure that increasing the ScaleZ factor should at least improve waves a bit. Unfortunately atm I am quite busy with other stuff. Is there anyone who wants to take care of them?

Quite possibly yes

I would love to, but my old computer won't even run SH5. Still working on getting a new one.

In any case, I was going to continue to work on my Waves mod after I finish my work on updating my mod-pack and, of course, when we finish our work on the Guns mod..
I think we could work something out with waves, together
What do you think?

I see. Thank you anyway Steve

On a side note:

has anyone around here tested this mod:

It is available from the following link:

Yes, I was using it more than a year ago and it's still gathering dust somewhere on the hard drive.. it's time to shake the dust off and re-examine, with the new knowledge

Thanks for reminding

Gday

I can fiddle around with some of those variables and see the impact. Atleast the variables themselves seem to be named pretty well in the config file so it shouldnt be blind changes.

Ill report back

Summing up, we have 6 different wave configurations available for SH5 so far:

• stock settings
• Improved Waves - Improved roll & pitch V1.1
• sobers waves mod V12 27032013
• Real Environment - Revision 3 = DynEnv v2.9 - Breeze
• DynEnv v2.9 - Gale
• DynEnv v2.9 - Hurricane

I didn't test them all, but I think any of them got its pro and con. Time to merge them into a definitive SH5 waves mod?

I mean a mod containing the best of their settings and possibly further improving them

That's good news. Please, keep us informed Bathrone
