Makman,looks great and definitely add in SouriaBasharAkbar's work!!Some good news for you in that I have sorta fixed the diamond pattern in my own mod.In trying to fix the crazy ship behaviors I found that its the swells action of the water.I tried to turn it down and increase the small waves but that did not work as it looks like little mountains and the bump map gets over-exaggerated.I have settled upon a combo that is best I could do.Still tweaking.....meaning when I change something I like to then do a patrol and look at the varying waves at varying weather patterns and light.

The thing that bothers me is when looking thru scopes and the boats come out of the water.My combination of swell/small waves gives a "slight" float effect still sadly.But its a must because when I remove this ill effect from the scopes then the ocean feels off.By giving just a slight float look when at 15m seas I get a return benefit of harsher seas.

Ok,so the cure for the diamond patterns is to increase the amount of distance of wave to wave done by increasing the X and Z stat of the waves scale.This seems to remove that diamond pattern.The Y stat controls height and the X/Z control the distance the waves are apart.The problem then is that too far and the boats start to look way off.Good luck....
