These ports (effects & scene) of SH4 to SH3 are looking so beautiful and adding so much to the game. I have a quick question, as I'm at work right now and can't test it until late tonight, does anybody force anisotropic filtering through either the ATI or the Nivida control panel? I know forcing AA will work (as I have mine set to 16Q). Is there any graphics glitches or incompatibility? I'm just trying to get the most out of the SH3 graphics engine.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the mod jcwolf. I have search this mod for so long time and now
i own it. I can read the target figures well now again. The favorite taste is a great
mod but the figures were bearly readable.

So now only i have to await THE great mod.

And I haven't even ported the plane_small_splinter_explosion and plane_splinter_explosion yet.....those will be even better!!

This leads me into a small problem. I'm currently in Venezuela and was going to sit down with my laptop and port some more items on the SH4 effects for SH3 mod but realized that I didn't install SH4 on my laptop! I own a legitimate copy of SH4 so what I'm about to ask isn't illegal or anything. Would someone be willing to zip up the \data\Textures\TNormal\tex from SH4 and give me a link to it so I can work on this while away on work? Please PM me with link if someone is willing to do so. Thanks in advance.

Yes you can force AF, and yes it improves image quality (especially reflections) but there are some drawbacks, namely:

-A severe performance hit at very high AF levels (especially when using my improved wave textures, which are included in RB's mod). Just keep AF at a low/medium level and this won't be a problem.
-Some graphical anomalies at the horizon
e.g. slightly messed up land reflections at long distance and, at certain times of the day, a "line" on the horizon separating the sea from the sky. The former obviously doesn't matter when you're out at sea and the latter I have found depends to some extent on which scene.dat you are using.

Racerboy - unfortunately i don't bought yet SH4 so i cannot help you...
But...what you want to port and correct? That was an incredibly awesome explosion of Swordfish!
Swordfish is a bomber [too] - he is carrying three bombs and that was luckily shot of my gunner...he shot Swordfish's bombs!
I have enabled mod in JSGME named ''Increased Allied Air'' [for hardest game] - in effect
allied planes are extremely effective, they are incoming more often and they are incoming
always after i send a message to BDU [Enigma code is broken]. In my game airs are
nasty and very strong so when i succesfully shot one of them down i look at his amazing
blow and take it as my reward.
Swordfish was first downed plane by me after enabling your effects...It's relatively
small plane and i wonder what i see when i shot down a Sunderland or Liberator...

For me your effects are ready for final release. After enabling Urfisch particles i
noticed a big falling of frames per second. Finally i'm deleted Urfisch particles and now
i play only with your effects, and i'm happy man.

thanks! Let me let you in on a little secret....DON'T buy it (that's my personal opinion). I bought a pre-release copy and couldn't have been more disappointed. It was a BIG step down from SH3 in every regard except for graphics. So part of the motivation for this mod was from that experience. I wanted SH4 graphics with the SH3 game.
