Marhkimov's Ocean MADNESS v2 - Page 5

Marhkimov · 12-13-05, 01:29 PM

Regarding the "bright" Med waters...

If anyone thinks that the water is too bright, I urge you to ride in it for a while. Try "Malta" Single Mission or a Med campaign. It will look different if you see it in motion, as opposed to my bright screenshots.

At first I was thinking the same thing: WAAAY too bright...

But after I adjusted to the feeling of blue and green-ness, everything panned out quite nicely. The Med certainly does give quite a different feeling of atmosphere than the Atlantic.

You will love it!

marhkimov:
Thank you, thank you, thank you, your new particle smoke is beautiful. I just tried it on my latest patrol yesterday and my last victim thankfully cooperated by burning for 15 minutes before I had put my last fish into her so I could go home and eat.

You are correct in the aspect that your particle smoke is also very FPS friendly too. Thanks for all the improvements you have done for this great game.

Thanks Marhkimov for the great mod! I love the new Med water!

HavenÂ´t tried the supersmoke yet as my fps is ~10 even without it.

Try it... your FPS might be ~20

i'm not kidding, it's very FPS friendly.

Thanks Marhkimov
Just downloaded-I use RUB + 16km which version will work as they're seperated RUB/8km & IUB/16km.
Thanks again your screens look great.

Marhkimov · 12-14-05, 07:33 AM

Well, that's a first... I didn't know you could use both...

You would most likely use the 16km version, since you probably installed 16km atmosphere mod over RUb.

EDIT:

hehehe, I forgot... I use IUB, RUb, and Atmosphere 8km.

Panama_Red · 12-14-05, 07:50 AM

I too use RUb 1.45 and a custom 16 km version. You just have to load a separate 16 km mod AFTER you install RUb 1.45.

Once IUB gets updated to include all the new features of RUb 1.45, I will go back to using IUB again (but still using my custom 16 km mod).

It doesn't work for me.I don't understand...
I've put the file manually,since i dont have the mod installer,but the sea it's still blue...

The smoke mod seems too work

EDIT:i've started a new campaign in the Med...doesnt work

Any idea?

Simple,i like to understand better the file structure.It helped me some time ago to repair some damage that i've done to my SH3 installation...and i have too many mod installed or tweak made by me to start messing around with an installer now...maybe when i will be forced to reinstall

You might not notice the color change if you are playing in the Atlantic. After all, I made subtle changes, since the original colors were already pretty good. However, if you want to know what major changes I made to the Atlantic, I made the daytime sky a little brighter and the underwater a little darker. Plus the nighttime skies should be noticably lighter.

Here's the part where you have to be using SH3Cmdr in order to fix this. Are you using it? Well, if you ever decide to install SH3Cmdr, just install my Med water fix2, which was included in the download pack.

Axlwolf · 12-14-05, 03:08 PM

I was using it...then i discovered he changed the draft of some ship in the recognition manual without changing the in-game ship draft,i promptly uninstalled.
And beside...i've changed by myself the underwater appearance(using SH3 MiniTweaker)and i'm sure it's still the same.
Im starting to think that i need to reinstall the sim from scratch.Its 6 months old,afterall,and i've ALWAIS tweaked and messed everything

It's one of the thing that i hate...reinstall

Ok, its your choice; you don't have to use anything that you don't want.

Dowly · 12-14-05, 04:37 PM

Marhkimov, I like the supersmoke! No drop in fps!

Marhkimov · 12-14-05, 04:40 PM

hehe, thanks. Next comes super fire, super oil spills, and super torpedo blasts!

and +10 FPS!
