Pacific environment 4 RELEASED - Page 34

I have just discovered a major bug with PE4! Every time I start playing the game, PE4 turns the game into a photo shoot. Hard drive space is decreasing rapidly as the folder size increases from all the pics I am taking! Btw, this is after I save them as JPGs and delete the BMPs.

Here's one such example. I was leaving Pearl early in the morning with my new Tench and the "shutter bug" reared it ugly (or pretty) head again!

@ Kriller. You and all the people who contributed to this fabulous mod are to be congradulated, it is fantastic. They say that one picture is worth a thousand words.

Need I say more.

Cant wait to get this installed on my system tonight Kriller. Great work!

Would you like an easy 10fps increase without really diminishing the eye candy that is PE4? It's quite simple: uncheck the "Detailed Waves" video option! While this may sound like a drastic measure, the crew here did such an excellent job with the waves that even "undetailed" waves are still incredible to look at! Actually I like them better because the detailed waves were a bit busy for my personal taste. I'd like some feedback on this if you would. I'm curious to see if others think this is an acceptable price/performance ratio hit.

Does Admiral Hipper ship (no pun intended) with a sounds.sdl file? Check to see if the mod has a Data\Sounds folder, and if yes, look inside it to see if you can find the file I mentioned. If it does, remove ROW Sounds with JSGME, look in its Data\Sounds folder and delete sound.sdl (or move it somewhere as a back-up). Now reinstall the mod. You should be ok.
I chose to stay at home this weekend, so I still haven't downloaded the mod :p Shame on me! :rotfl:

God's Creation ? No'p Kriller2 and team

PE 4 Your Best Yet Kriller2

OK so sometime you need a little clue (see map):rotfl:

09-15-08, 07:33 AM

I have to hand it to you kriller....the water is amazing, very very life like!

I do however find night time to be far too dark. When waves exist at night, incidental light reflects of them and scatters immediately about. This actually increases the effective light on the waves and thus waves are quite visible at night time. I've been in the middle of south atlantic at night with no moon and overcast skies....yet the sea was visible all around the boat and for about 20 meters out.

when the sea is as flat as a pond however, then the sea is very hard to see, but incidential light still reflects of the side of the ship.

Right, time to get back in my box.....bye bye.

A whole week? And you call that long? My mammoth vacation lasted 2 months! 2 bloody months with no computer, no internets, and no SH4!

Have fun on your holidays mate, see you when you're back!

kriller2 · 09-15-08, 09:33 AM

Thanks Gunfighter, it's good to see you enjoy the new PE4.
Have a good vacation and thanks for testing

Sorry, but I'm not quite sure what you're referencing in that picture. It doesn't appear to have anything to do with what I was talking about(?)

detailed Wave ripples ON

detailed wave ripples OFF
I see what you mean billko not a great difference thanks to kriller2 and Team
Gunfighter
Edit 18:40 have tried this with ripples off and you do lose a lot of eye candy reflections behind waves of fires,Sun,but if you need to gain a few FPS then it helps back to ripples ON for me
