Default Underwater view without..................

Hello, any idea how to change underwater view ? I don't like this
"underwater" effect, hard to say, I prefer SH3 like view without
optic changes, standard......

Best Regards

Koci

Hi. Just go into your Filters folder and look for Underwater.pfx file. Open it and change the intensity setting to zero.

how to remove the underwater effects

to remove:

Plankton - go here and download my "eliminate floating plankton" mod

Underwater distortion - open data/ misc folder then delete the "turbulence.dds" file

Plants and rocks - open data/ library and delete the "undersea.dat" and "vegetation_kit.dat" files

When I removed impurity.dds could no longer see under water, only a blue texture with light rays, no acean floor or sub! I put it back and all ok, taking out the turbulence.dds & underwater_disp_map.dds files stops the distortion effect but the texture above waterline is hazy with lines, this may be because I have post processing on. So I will leave as is.

I want to remove the Jello-look underwater. Do these solutions do the same thing?

Ah the jello effect is from the ROW mods:
ROW Textures without Sun Halo camera flair vs_4
ROW Textures with Sun Halo camera flair vs_4
Just disable the mod (asume you use JSGME) then go to the mods data\misc folder and delete/remove the 2 files:
impurity.dds
underwater_disp_map.dds
then enable the mod, I would suggest renaming the mod to exclude "camera flair".
Hope that helps & hope LepVampire & others don't mind me posting this.
Cheers.

If your talking about the annoying visual refraction of the submarine while submerged, then simply do this. it worked for me. i hated that feature


Open Underwater.pfx in your Silenthunter4\Data\Filters folder with notepad. Set the intensity UnderwaterDispMap from 0.025 to 0.000

Wonder if that would work on the blurred effect when useing external camera: go below water then go above, that distorted water effect, on scope as well, I would like to remove, or better, tone down!

Edit: Nope!
