Hi lk, from the first post

W Clear... your doing some mighty fine work here. your environmental color's and sea foam are very natural looking and don't look overly done...
keep up the fine work

Some things i notice when i tried your mod, first the sub rides on rails big time, no pitch,hardly any roll. Next is you made the sea very rough when it is not windy out, example without your mod the sea is calm 1 to 2 feet maybe, with your mod the sea was big and rough and the entire sub comes out of the water, props and all. This was the same mission same time and place. It seams you made the sea rough just to show mod effects even when there was no wind or high seas. The foam looked nice for sure but had to un-install due to those reasons, any reason why it was like that, what did you change in the mod. Thanks.

I just installed and used it today, and I got variable seas. Sometimes flat, other times choppy.

I also wanted to say to the creator: Bravo sir!

you know i think that's pretty much correct about the roll and pitch but really to tell you the truth i don't think any kind of mod I've tried or stock really handles this as well as SH3 did. the subs in SH4 seem so stiff and feels like the sea is being manipulated by the boat instead of the boat by the sea..

ROW addresses this fairly well

, plus I have used this in combination with nice results. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...03&postcount=3

How can this mod effect roll, pitch, sea state when it only replaces SEA FOAM files?

i wont be home till saturday to actually try this out. I'd like to try this mod because i do want more realistic sea foam, but i dont want to undo ROWs roll pitch, sea state controls...

Because it also requires the Environmental Color Mod, which includes a modified scene.dat. Which does not alter the sub's roll and pitch parameters, but it does alter the sea states (among heaps of other stuff). So I guess it's an either/or case, I'm afraid.

I tried this New Foam MOD and founded it less realistic than your previous 2.0 environmental mod.

The foam colour doesn't seem white/clean enough, and when i zoom out in the free camera to get a good view on the ship and sea below, i can easily say where the foam tile start and end. It looks like hundreds of foam squares tied to each other with waves movement on top of it.

I just unloaded it and i keep running Environmental color 2.0 MOD on top of all the ROW mods so the shaking water issue is resolved and the game looks great.

Please take this as a constructive critic and keep on the good work mate!

P.S I would post a screenshot to better illustrate what i mean... if only i know how to do it.
