Okay thats not good

, strange I didn't notice anything like that when testing, but I might have an idea on what to change. Can I send the next patch to you for testing? - it will include a version for TM and the reflection hack for most of the warships.

@AKD it seems we unfortunately can't make the reflections perfect (like the new SH 1.5 freighters) on all objects as you see on the conning tower of the submarine from PE 3.1, will investigate it some more..

This is how I can make the reflections for all ships and objects in game, what do you think better?

Many times better in my opinion!

Here is an interesting case: hull reflects white, but sails reflect color.

Awesome work, kriller!

Yes, if you want you can send the patch for me to test. I'd be glad to help.

Weeeeeee, now that looks good !

Kriller, that is some incredible work. Also happy to help test if you like.

I noticed that "PE3_1 sub and roll pitch caustics reflecion mod allso for uboats" wants to overwrite a bunch of RSRD files in addition to the PE3 files. Are these compatible?

Defiance · 05-01-08, 06:22 PM

Arrr me hearties!

Syxx_Killer · 05-01-08, 07:03 PM

I saw that strange reflection again, this time with the new debris. I wonder if it is related to that?

DrBeast · 05-01-08, 07:24 PM

Guess I picked the wrong time to be on vacations :p Kriller2 would surely need another beta tester right now

Quagmire · 05-01-08, 09:47 PM

Kriller,

Love the new work!

I feel like I am sailing through a visual masterpiece. Thank you for you hard work.

One little problem though. The "beach reflection shimmy" is back. Check this:

See the area I crudely marked off in red. The reflection of the beach on the water is a jaggy mess. Whats worse is that when the sub rolls the change in perspective makes that jaggy reflection crawl up and down the coastline. Its very distracting and it ruins an otherwise picture perfect experience.

This problem was almost completely gone in PE2. That had be jumping for joy. However it seems to have returned in PE3. Is there a way to get rid of it but still keep the wonderful imporvements in PE3?

Thanks for everything!
