ScaleX= main wave width. In game units? (1 unit = 10 m)
ScaleY= main wave height
ScaleZ= main wave length
ScaleNormal= ?
BumpScaleU= how many times waves' bump map (which file is that?) is sampled over a square of sea surface (in width) (?)
BumpScaleV= how many times waves' bump map is sampled over a square of sea surface (in length) (?)
NormalSharpness= ?
BumpScale= the size of the sea surface square that the bump map is sampled on (in game units?)
BumpStrength= bump map sharpness?
FarWavesScale= this could be a wave scale (X, Y, and Z) modifier, applied to waves far from player's sub (?)
FarWavesStrength= this could be a wave strength (the force applied to seagoing vessels) modifier, applied to waves far from player's sub (?)
FresnelBias= applies to water reflections
FresnelPower= applies to water reflections
LargeWavesArmonics= max number of large waves travelling in a string (?)
LargeWavesCoef= Drag coef. introduced to the vessel when it hits large wave, O-no drag, 1- shiping goes nowhere...
SeaSpeed= how fast waves are travelling compared to wind speed (?)
WaveChoppinessFactor= self explanatory
ReflectionIntensity= self explanatory
ReflectionDeformation= self explanatory
TransparencyDistance=? Transparent water distance from the players view . Wider or narrower view . When looking over the side of the sub you could make the water transparent 18 mts deep by a few meters wide etc . or 25 mts deep x 100 meters wide view . You will get the same view with external camera . stoianm did a transparent water altering the shaders but that made the entire water transparent .
TransparencyDistanceUnder= ? Transparent water distance from the players view . Depth of transparency .
SpecGlossiness= specular reflections glosiness
SpecIntensity= specular reflections strength
SpecSpread= specular reflections angle of spread (?) shape of specular glossiness http://stevesfsxanalysis.wordpress.c...lour-of-water/
UnderSpecGlossiness= ?
UnderSpecIntensity= ?
ExtraSpecGlossiness= ?
ExtraSpecIntensity= ?
ExtraSpecSpread= ?
HeightColorFactor= ? You can give the trough of waves a darker appearance giving the impression of depth . Too much and it looks terrible

Small digression...
