Negative.

[rcjonessnp175]

quick AAR for ya, installation no problems, the reflections look awesome especially when a ship goes up in flames, ship caustics look very good also, no slow downs for my rig either.

Good job mate

Nice screenies. But what mod do you use for all that debris floating around?

[rcjonessnp175]

rgr on not being compatible with om and rfb, back to sh3 gwx3 i guess, that debri field looks like its from sh3 and some of the work over their looks good i might say. Regardless the mod looks real nice.

this mod was designed around the following;;; by the way this is for SH4 UBM Missions 1.5 ONLY, sorry 1.4 Guys.....

1. Trigger Maru, updated to beta_170 .......... need beta 170 update patch
2. RSRDC_TMOv163_V410 Patched to 2.0 ..........need patch 2.0
3. OpsMonsun_V700 Patched to 3.0 ..........need patch 3.0
4. SCAF1.5_RSRDCv410

5. REAL ENVIRONMENTS 1.0 By kriller and W_Clear

then install my mod..... when asked overwrite everything, the flile will be replacing all the files in the sea folder....practically with the same files but with the new updated ships and parameters, and these are just the ship files......nothing else

6. #4 Ships Reflect and Caustic Environment Mod 5.1 by W_Clear and GDC3MAN

for you guys that dont run above configuration or with these mods....try it on yours and see if it works, and I encourage experimentation.....since these are updated ship files, I would imagine RFB uses alot of the same ships....SO pull the ships out that RFB uses and walla....caustics for RFB

there are just to many different scenario's to cover all of them.... it would take months to update each individual mod....at 107 ships per crack....
so best of luck and experiment away.....

below are the directions included with download....Happy Hunting

Hello, All

I will try to keep this simple.....

Requirments to operate mod....This mod was created with these elements installed, BUT Since each ship was configured to run by itself, there is plenty
of room to try other configurations.....and should work fine.....Ahem !!! for you RFB and EXPERIMENTAL GUYS !!!
1. Trigger Maru, updated to beta_170
2. RSRDC_TMOv163_V410 Patched to 2.0
3. OpsMonsun_V700 Patched to 3.0
4. SCAF1.5_RSRDCv410

5. REAL ENVIRONMENTS 1.0 By kriller and W_Clear
6. #4 Ships Reflect and Caustic Environment Mod 5.1 by W_Clear and GDC3MAN

The above is Also the correct load order for the game to work correctly....TRUST ME !

Install using GENERIC MOD ENABLER as you would any other mod, dont forget to unzip first....
The mod is very large, containing all 107 ships from above MODS that have had there caustic generators reconfigured/Turned back ON and tweaked with new numbers for sharper brighter effects to enhance the Way Real environment
deals with the new water effects,so it will take a while to decompress, and a Little Time for mod enabler to convert so it will delay a bit.....




Do to the complexity of so many variations of this game I have designed this mod with my current configuration to cover many different aspects, with respect to how many people use above MODS
so if your game breaks you can configure ships any way you like to make your current setup stable....Good Luck and God Speed CAPTAINS !!!!

Sincerly...GDC3MAN
Inspired by Kriller and W_clears work on Environment 5.0 and REAL REFLECTIONS 1.0 <<<<<currently in progress by W_clear
Great Job Guys !!

[ncorpuz34]

just a note: game will not even boot w/ RFB + RE installed NOR with just RE and nothing else.

Im guessing we have to use that EXACT configuration to get this to work?

[Mourning_Lord]

I am having the same problem as the poster above me. The mod has a big red check mark on it as well. The game crashes before it finishes loading with the mod enabled. I've even just had Real Enviroments and this mod active. I've even tried it with just this mod active, each time, the game crashes while loading. The red check mark I mentioned earlier is on the "Sea" folder in the mod folder.

why not just include the files you really changed, this would make your mod more compatible.

[gdc3man]

Hello,

That is correct, you must use the exact configuration with all the patches installed, because you are overwriting, those same files, but with the new ship parameters and effects installed.....dont worry about the red check mark on the file, that was put there for me using as a done folder......it wont effect installation......

SH4 1.5 UBM Missions ONLY

1. install trigger maru overhauled_162......then install beta patch_170
this includes trigger maru_163 patch pull out UPC data folder if you want telegraph bell sound from beta patch_170 recommended !! then install Normally.

2. Install RSRD_TMOv163_V410 then patch using patch 2

3. Install OpsMonsun_V700 then patch using patch 3

4. Install Scaf1.5_RSRDCv410_TMO_163 for 163 only

5. Install REAL ENVIRONMENTS 1.0

6. Now install #4 ships_reflect and Caustic_Environment 5.1 and dont worry about red checkmark on folder, that was for me to indicate ships that were done, will not have any effect on install, cause I am running the same folder.....

7. install any other Mods....... Be Carful Here !!!

Cheers
