horizon bug in GWX - Page 3

melnibonian · 02-08-07, 06:24 PM

I had the same problem with the lack of fog in my GWX installation. It was caused by lack of rollback of SH3Cmd before enabling a mod. If you want the proper scene.dat file just click in the link in my signature. It corrects all the faults.

My biggest problem was gap between sea and sky when clear horizon... see pictures on page 1 post 4. This was solved by Gabriel.

Light fog is shown on the pictures in post 19 I think there's nothing wrong.

I checked the link but couldn't find anything there that was labeled so it looked like the scene.dat file - there was one that had "scene" in it but it was labeled with 8K and I assumed that this is supposed to be the 16K file - what is this one called on your page?

Nevermind the horizon, where did that blimp/airship/barrage balloon come from!?

Oh and by the way, when SH4 comes out you won't be worried about the horizon in SH3 anymore.

Really? I know at least one person who isn't going PTO....not unless Ubi incorporates a complete walkthrough U-Boat in the SH3 expansion they are rumoured to be considering putting in SH4

Not that I'm that worried about the horizon anyway - running 8km version!!

I will be going PTO, as you say, but as I said in a poll a while back, I'll also be playing SHIII until an improvement appears. I just like subs, period.

Can you change how far away the water for example should be textured?

I've downloaded SH3MiniTweaker but I'm not able to locate the tweaking files?

I see, maybe the fix is working. I still see what appears to be a seperation between sky and horizon, but in post 19 (as pointed out, is a 'fixed' horizon), there is still this apparent seperation, but ships still fade out. If I understand this correctly, then I think this bug is fixed for me because I edited the scene.dat as instructed and removed the copy file. I have not encountered any ships yet so while there is still a seperation betwen sky annd water, I am assuming the ships will fade properly now? I really wanted to get rid of the apparent seperation between the sky and the water but maybe that is not possible? thanks.

The original problem of a flipped texture at the horizon still exists. You can see this very easy at sunrise and sunset.
