I should like to see, if possible, an youtube movie about the actual mod state of Sh5. How it appears, how it behave, etc. Perhaps from these "new big mods" for sh5.

Any link?


Rubini.

well i am actually working on a big silent hunter movie project which i will upload in parts till now there are 3 parts finished but there are 2 more to come thought. But its more a movie not a gameplay but you can see the graphics mod in their beauty

Odd you should mention that. I've been intending to make some videos to show off what a modded Sh5 can look like.

Thanks mates by the tips.

@Jason210, seems that Materchen is making a movie, not a video to show how Sh5 is looking/behaving with last mods. Please give me both!

@Pedrobas: thanks, already downloaded and running! Alas, I saw your MMM thread whith attention, even downloaded it. But i want for now tested and taste a lot of mods to found which mods fit me better.

Another small detail that comes to my eyes quickly in this transition Sh3/Sh5 are the uboat´s water streams...well, apart the fact that i made the water stream mod for Sh3, I really liked more as they appears /behave on Sh3 (mod). Do you know if we have any workaround on this or at least a more "intense" texture, etc?

Thanks again by any advice!

The stock settings of the SH5 dynamic Shadows cast blurred shadows, therefore is necessary to tweak the shadows settings to get dynamic shadows with better resolution

Warning the Dynamic Shadows feature are a Frame Per Second (FPS) killer, Pintea (one of the UBI developers) told me that the "HighResolution=1536" setting has a max roof of 5000, I try to increase that number above 5000 and the FPS are reduced even more. Another way to increase the Dynamic Shadows resolution is to to reduce the FarPlane and ExtrudeCamera numbers but this unbalance the settings and the shadows disappear in some areas. At the moment I still dont understand fully the behaviour of each of the shadows settings

[Shadows]
NumCascades=3
LowResolution=1024
HighResolution=1536

[Interior]
FarPlane=1.0
ExtrudeCamera=5.0
DepthBias=0.0005
DepthSlopeBias=1.0
Split0=0.06
Split1=0.25
Split2=1.0
FilterSizeSplit0=1
FilterSizeSplit1=1
FilterSizeSplit2=1

[Bridge]
FarPlane=15.0
ExtrudeCamera=12.0
DepthBias=0.002
DepthSlopeBias=2.0
Split0=0.07
Split1=0.3
Split2=1.0
FilterSizeSplit0=2
FilterSizeSplit1=1
FilterSizeSplit2=1

[Exterior]
FarPlane=160.0
ExtrudeCamera=50.0
DepthBias=0.0015
DepthSlopeBias=1.0
Split0=0.1
Split1=0.33
Split2=1.0
FilterSizeSplit0=2
FilterSizeSplit1=1
FilterSizeSplit2=1
