This is looking really good. One thing though - from some of those screenshots it seems like the sub's wake is picking up some very strange (too pronounced) coloring as part of this - is that something that can be re-tweaked back to something more "normal" looking once you get the rest of it looking like you want it?

Outstanding Kriller! Can you describe what you changed for the water? Looks like a little more swell vs. wind wave?

Wilcke · 03-27-08, 12:11 AM

Oh, man those first two pics are just awesome! Great work!

Hi Panther,

Thanks, this mod uses your little tweak to make the sub act more naturaly in storm.

For the underwater scenery I have been trying to make it look like this picture:

Yes I am using Dave's work with some adjustments to make the sub move as close to reality as possible, can't remember the exact settings, but you can examine it later today

Amazing work once again kriller.

My jaw has issued an official complaint. It's getting sick and tired of dropping to the floor every time I see pics of your new stuff! :rotfl:
With regards to the tweaks you mentioned, what exactly did you do? You still have an ATi card, right? I'm trying to optimize my new rig (yep, got an ATi again, but this time the HD3650, which means sun glare from the box!), which means lots of tweaking from scratch, since all my old settings are either a) for my antiquated and now replaced rig, or b) forgotten

Hi Dr. Beast, Sorry... :rotfl: Soon you can see it in realtime

Regarding the tweaks: I noticed that the framedrop was in the harbours looking at the bow wakes and started examining why after that I took the files controling the wakes and resized them and saved them as best possible settings in DDS, the same thing is done to the clouds-textures, light shafts etc. etc.

Ah, but you see, the problem is that my jaw keeps dropping even after I've installed your work! But hey, I'm a metalhead, I'll just train my jaw to handle the pain! :rotfl:

Regarding the tweaks: a-HA! So it wasn't just me that experienced that! I noticed that too on my new rig and I was cursing the money I spent on it!

Funny thing is, I never noticed that slowdown on my old junk-bucket! In stormy weather or in the harbor, my FPS would drop to about 8-9 whenever I aimed my camera toward the bow wakes. Driving me nuts, it was!

Okay...I'm just ready to go on a campaign but see now I should wait 24 hours. Beautiful work by the way.

My only question is if this mod can be plopped on top of the current TMO/RSRD mods which is all I am using right now?

Hi Scrapser. Yes this mod should work with TM and RSRD, I have tried not to mess with anything from those mods and that was one of the reasons for leaving the special effects mod out (oilleak / flying crewmen) og this release, because it messes with TM's zones and sub files.

I haven't tried Ducimus latest SP 1 - 2 though.

How long does filefront keep a account active with no user login?

I think we need to have a backup of all of Daves work that is currently downloadable incase filefront closes the account.

Whats your though? and btw I do not see your screenshots mate.
