Transparent water in SH3

CapZap1970 · 11-23-12, 07:43 PM

As you guys know, I am playing again SH3, but after so much time without this wonderful game, I've forgotten how to do or tweak some things. For example, I can't remember how to make water more transparent. I tried to find some topics about it, but wasn't able to find anything. Could anybody please give me a hand with it?
Thanks a lot in advance for your coop.

You can't. There are mods that change the water in all sorts of ways, but none of them make it transparent. That's what SH4 is for.

SS: Thanks for your reply, but perhaps I didn't explain myself right.
If you recall, the water under sea lever at stock SHIII is more transparent than it is in GWX, where it has a more dark and milky look, do you know what I mean? Now, if there is any way to accomplish this using GWX, I would be very grateful if you or anybody could please point me in the right directions.
Thanks for the info and patience to reply my posts.

Okay, gotcha! Complete misunderstanding on my part.

You can adjust it yourself with S3D, but it's been so long I've forgotten how. Easier is to use SH3 Commander, which has an adjustment box just for that purpose.

SS: thanks a lot! I completely forgot about that SH3 Cmdr feature...

Anyway, I will see what can I do with the S3D.... the only thing is that I don't know where to find it and also forgot how to use it...
Thanks for your time anyway, and as always, it has been a pleasure to see you again specially after so much time, SS

SH3 Commander is the way to go, so much easier.

Setting the water clarity t0 20 in the gameplay settings is as clear as Commander will allow.

...but there are ways and means to get even more clarity underwater...?!

Yes yes yes?
