Okay, I will take a look. I checked in game several times with the ship that comes with the Campaign mod, and I didn't see anything weird happen.

In what I sent you load the single mission and change the time of day hour to 17. Then start mission. Place camera near side of ship almost parallel with the side so you can see the sunlight reflecting off the side. You'll see what I'm talking about.

Without even firing the game up, I am going to guess it looks like the surface of the ship looks like glass........That is because the base texture is 100%, that is not right. Almost all base textures in the game are transparent. Let me take a look in game to see if this is the case.
Edit: It looks like that is exactly what we are dealing with, let me play around with the texture to see if I can get it to work right, will PM you what I do.

Hmmmm, I am also seeing some weird behavior from the occular occlusion map. This may actually be what you are referring to. Give me some time to look at that as well.

Hey, TDW, how is the new set of textures looking for you?

Hey, you take your time with that, I have been waiting for that for a long time.

@Zedi, the shadow map itself has rust on it! Let me whip up a map without the rust and see if that solves the mystery of the unwanted rust.

Thanks you so much for this SteelViking. If you can do these improvements on all units, then finally these ships will fit the sh5 fleet.
Who knows.. maybe one day you guys can find a way to add shadows and the transparency of the ship hull underwater so there will be absolutely no difference between any ship. |

When a GR2 unit is rendered the game engine adds the verticies of the unit that are underwater to a depth map. This depth map is then used in the water pixel shader to determine whether that pixel is deep water color or the color of the ship that is underwater (it is linearly interpolated). No such thing exists for DAT rendered units. That is why you can't 'see' them underwater from above water. I made a revised water pixel shader that made them show but it's not perfect. It will take modifying the sh5.exe to do it correctly.

Thanks for the files Steelviking! I made another test, quick test, but I can't see much difference... Am I missing something? Maybe some screenshots? The one big thing that separates these ships form SH 5 ships, is the light/dark side. SH5 has really big contrast, but here it's almost the same... What do you think TDW, you have been looking at these ships some time too?
Well I'll get back on this soon, have to go now. But great work everyone . |
