Cloud distortion fix ready - Page 5

Seeadler · 10-24-05, 01:15 PM

Ok here is an attempt. I loaded the Clouds.obj from the fixed scene.dat into MS Excel and rised the values. Now the clouds hemisphere should have to be twice as large and should permit a range of 16km. The Clouds.obj must be imported into the scene.dat from the 16km vis mod.

Give it a try, ...I did not test it, have no 3DMax and SH3 here

Clouds.obj

Manuel Ortega · 10-24-05, 01:30 PM

Damn, Frank! You did again! Great fix.

I don't remember if I resized the dome exactly to double size. I will try that clouds.obj in my mod. If it works I will upload it.

Manuel Ortega · 10-24-05, 03:55 PM

Done!

Here is my Visibility Mod with fixed clouds dome by Seeadler:

http://www.mp-labs.com/sh3mods/visibility_mod_v092.zip

There are 2 directories on it:
- One with the word 'fog'. This is the version with realistic visibility while underwater.
- The other with the words 'nofog'. This is the version with game default underwater fog.

Both of them have the cloud texture coordinates fixed.

Thanks again, Seeadler.

I have this mod installed over rub

16_km_visibility_mod_RWR_Moon_fix_Clear_water

could work the new mod with the other Â¿Â¿

thanks

Edited... now i are a medic

@ Manuel

The scene.dat from the directory called 'VisibilityMod_092fog_by_M_Ortega' does not appear to work. When I installed it, I was limited me to approx. 8km of visability. I checked when the file was last updated, and it was on Oct. 20.

On the other hand, the scene.dat from 'VisibilityMod_092nofog_by_M_Ortega' says it was edited on Oct. 24.

I'm guessing you misplaced the correct file...

Manuel Ortega · 10-24-05, 05:51 PM

Ooops!
You are right, wrong scene file. Fixed now, please download again.

Thanks for the warning, and sorry for the mistake.

@Hartmann, I don't know if it could work. Please ask Rulle, the compiler of that mod if it is possible. I only can offer support for the graphics issues (basically what my mod is).

Kpt. Lehmann · 10-25-05, 09:33 AM

Is the correct download "v092" ???

Manuel Ortega · 10-25-05, 02:27 PM

Yes.

Thank you Mr. Ortega, does this mod also include Marhkimov's water reflectivity fix/reduction of sun glare???

In a perfect world this would include the visibility mod and include the cloud fix and Marhkimov's reduced sun glare...

...Is this the case? I am sorry to be a pest... but it needs to be defined clearly as a potential problem or problem fix.

Marhkimov · 10-25-05, 03:39 PM

Ya know what I think??

We all have to get our files together and release as one big Environmental and Atmospheric Pack...

There are just so many incompatibility problems, mostly due to the fact that no one knows much about other people's mod, myself included...

What does everyone think? Seeadler? Manuel Ortega? Me? LOL...

kriller2 · 10-25-05, 03:41 PM

wow! this mod is awesome

combined with the visibility mod it makes a whole new gaming experience, you can now see how the clouds is following the shape of the earth and when you look up there is no distortion in the clouds!

, see screenshots:

looking up:

Hartmann · 10-25-05, 07:19 PM

wow !! nice screenshots.

PoseidonsDreiZack · 10-26-05, 07:40 AM

@ Manuel Ortega:

I wanted to install your Mod via JSGME but the scene.dat and camera.dat crossed by other Mods.

Possible to add an report of changed files?!

By the way: what program do you use to extract the DAT file?

Redwine · 10-27-05, 07:20 AM

It looks wonderful, many thanks Frank......
