Textures and colors look very good, but I am not so fond of the waves 3D shape.

SH3 is very limited for environment effects, it only use EnvColors_Atl.dat, SkyColors_Atl.dat and scene.dat.
What i have tried to do because of this limitation is to put as much environment varieties as i can and pack them in SH3.
So you have conditions with no waves, small waves, medium waves and big waves for all taste.
Also i have increased reflections at some env. conditions and if someone don't like it with reflections there are also conditions without many
reflections. I have noticed that in most env. mods the color of a sea is the same for a whole day.
In my mod at a certain time of a day the colors of a sea change for example from blue to greenish blue or from dark green to almost black at rough seas.
There are also many variety of sea colors as well as sky colors.
There are light blue sky and darker blue sky.. also crystal dark nights. In other mods there is mostly one color of a sky and nights are not much darker. For sea colors there are blue, dark blue, light blue, greenish blue, dark green and very dark. In other mods there are not many varieties. Also underwater color is much more realistic. There are many good env. mods out there but like i said i tried to create as much environment varieties as i can because SH3 is very limited in env. effects compared to SH5.
(my english is not so perfect)
