It's not the addon's fault though. It's just the way the game mechanics work - there is no detection distance difference between night/day factored in; only detection time.

So either you've got blind lookouts in daytime, or night-vision-equipped ones at night. You can't have everything :hmm:

Oh. Right.


Yep, I approve totally. This is the way it ought to have been done; I'm glad to see that the modders themselves are the ones with the edge.

The gaming mag idea - that'd be fabulous!

I for one prefer having my daytime visibility limited (I think of it as 'haze on the horizon') than to have 'vampire' lookouts on my bridge at night

Well, that should then go along with my suggestion in the other thread - I hope the next version of the mod includes optional un-mods for certain features. Such as the visibility.

Sorry guys, im 6 months behind the ball on SH3, and only now catching up. I have a few questions for you:

Does this download by oRGy provide the same contents or different as whats on the X1 CD?

(Ive heard that the community addons were removed from the product after the community outcry. Is this an accurate statement?)

What was on this SEEWOLVES CD that was developed by X1 and its contributors? (ie not already made by SH3 modders and available at Subsim for download?)

Im trying to figure out what I can load on my SH3 v1.04b install, and what is just X1's value add (if any).

That'll do the trick.

That's a superb idea!! DVD PC mags have loads of space to fill..

This might be a really good idea.

It's very different. Newer, bigger, better.

Only partially true.

It's basically the "World mod" that was released a couple of months ago plus some additions. The rest is old and outdated.

That´s right, some keyboard commands don´t work when you use the English keyboard setting. Here´s the solution:

There are also performance issues on some systems, mainly due to the "Heavy" version of the Harbour Traffic mod. If it gets too slow around friendly harbour you should download the "Harbour Traffic" mod and use the normal version instead of "Heavy". Get it here:

Make sure that you download the RUb-compatible version!!!

[oRGy]

Yep, any issues will be fixed asap for the next version/patch, am keeping my eye on everything!

The vis mod night spotting distance as people say can lead to weird results on clear nights. Now, depending on moonlight thats not entirely unrealistic, by the way.

But unfortunately its something thats seemingly impossible to get 100% right. The issue was also present in the original version of the game, just less noticeable due to the nerfed view distance.

I love it!

BTW: Very nice and comprehensive readme file! Thanks.
