SHD_testing is a single mission! run the game and click on single missions it should then be in the list

explain what you're talking about. I think I know what you're asking me but just want to be sure. I saw that there was a selfillumni controller attached to the 2/0 nodes in the crew's body and I tried removing those but didn't have any effect.

Either you have to remove the uv-data (uv map 2), not sure if the game stops rendering bump map then, or otherwise you can try substitute the normal map texture with a flat map (probably RGB=128,255,128). In the latter case, the result should be no 'height' alteration so light is not bend depending on light source, which seems to be the problem.

7b by Wolfehunters, OLCE 1.7, Venatore's Elite U-boat Uniform - Black (made darker by me). The "disco colour" disappears 85% with black colour uniform, much better than strip the crew's body down to nothing (see post 113)....but the faces...

Funny binoculars shadows: we can see them, but not the (ghost) sailor.

Very impressive job.

Excellent information on the black uniforms there I can take away the binocular shadow, it's one I forgot to take out when I had enabled the crew shadows. What is that top flag of and where did you find it?
Have you checked out the water reflections? Look at the Turm water reflection from different angles...I'll bet you'll see something you haven't seen before...
The shadows aren't perfect but getting better. You can see some solid 'tube' shadows across the deck in front of the Turm in your screenshots. I think those are being caused by the 88mm.

Unfortunately in my game have not Dynamic Shadows yet ( I have SH3 patch 1.4b ) , the weaving of the flags is a very nice touch

Looks like a lot of people are having trouble setting up the main.cfg file. So here's a step-by-step way to do it:

Go to \My Documents\SH3\data\cfg. In there there's a file main.cfg. Edit the file using Notepad.exe. Edit the [Video] section to look like this:

[VIDEO]
Resolution=1024 x 800
DynamicShadows=Yes
FullScreen=Yes
Synchronized=Yes
ParticleDensity=100.000000
TextureResolutionHigh=Yes

Save the file. Now right click on main.cfg and select Properties. Click on Read-Only then click ok.


Run game.
