[WIP] Dynamic Environment SH5

[Silent Steel]

I'm running your 'sobers best ever fog V4 SH5' mod with the 'stoianm EnvWeather V1 SH5' enabled after it and I have no such persistent grey skies...

Just good looking fog when called for and changing to completely clear, sunny and - blue skies

Hi guys,
recently I had a glance to a screenshot originally posted by kylania in thi thread (post: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=499):



Looking at it I would to say that I agree with the last post by Silent Steel: If you all are experiencing something similar to what is represented in the above picture, what bothers you are not sky colors, but FOG: look the diffuse effect of sunrays in the picture.

In dynamic environment we tried to render climatic conditions as variable as possible. Anyway having several bad weather days in row (namely boring foggy days) should be considered normal during winter season. I would be surprised if the same happened in summer. So, please, when you post your screenshots, specify when and where you took them.

By using DE, the extension of different seasons in changing, depending on the climatic zone you are currently in. In this post: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=379 I provided an excel chart representing the extent of different seasons, together with many other useful information on the mod. I wander if anyone bothered to read it carefully...

Gracias a ti tambien, Pedro, para tenere la paciencia de leerlo todo!

with the little knowledge contained in that post, anyone can be able to modify season settings, to meet his own tastes, or just for testing.

Hey guys. Loving this mod. Got a question about the underwater lighting and clarity. Things are too light and too clear underwater. If it's midnight and dark above water, underwater looks lighter than it is above the surface. This shouldn't be the case. Also, sometimes I think the water is too clear as you can see all the way to the bottom. This is my only complaint about this wonderful mod.

For what it's worth I'm running the mods in this order
1. Dynamic Environment SH5 Basemod (normal ) V2.1
2. stoianm realistic color exterior mod (low color)v1

Which file(s) control underwater lighting and clarity? I would like to just remove them to revert these two elements to vanilla SH5 settings. Could you possibly point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Looks like your graphics card is out of mem.

Try reducing the quality in the games options under graphics (shadows etc)

Hey Steel. I'm seeing the same persistent grey skies as some other people here. What's funny about them is that Old Dubler the Navigator will tell me that there is no precipitation, no clouds and no fog at the same time. And as soon as the sun sets, there are all the stars in their glory. I would think that if it really was foggy/misty, the stars would have trouble peeking through too, at least until the fog/mist cleared.

Anyway, I grew up around the North Sea, so I know that when it's grey, it stays grey for a long time and I'm still playing in fall/winter, so it may be what's causing it. Still, it's odd to never see a hint of blue, even when there are scattered clouds on top of the uniform grey.

I don't want to give up on sober's fog mod either (the fog is truly ridiculous without it), so maybe it's stoianm's mod that cancels it out (if sober's fog mod is an issue to begin with)? If so, where'd you find it, because I didn't see it in your mod list?

I saw that, stoianm, after stumbling across a post I should have found before. Thanks for your lightning reply, though!

It was my bad entirely. I was still using V4 of sober's mod and wasn't aware there was a V6 around now. My bad for not paying attention.

Once again, and for the umpteenth time (but it CAN'T be said too often): You guys ROCK!
