Thank you for the new version, gap and SH5 modding community.
:Kaleun_Applaud: |
Hi guys,
in the past months I received a couple of reports by Trevally about a fastidious glaring light effect happening in sunny days. Here's an excerpt from a recent conversation on this topic: Quote:
Let me know if you are experiencing the same problem and, in the affermative, with which DynEnv submods or other environmantal mods enabled :) |

I am also curious to know is someone can confirm the problem pointed by you and putting it in relation with DynEnv. As I stated in a previous post, the only factor which affects the probability of different weathers (including rain, fog and cloud coverage), is current season. Stock game features only 5 weather zones: 2 polar bands, north and south (with only 1 winter season), 2 temperate bands (with 4 seasons of equal duration) and 1 tropical band (summer). Having introduced many new weather zones, DynEnv adds more variety to the game, and makes seasonal patterns at different latitudes closer to what one would expect in real life. The one thing which may affect precipitation's duration (but not their probability, as far as I can understand) is that for most weather zones and seasons, min and max weather change intervals have been sensibly shortened. If SH5 rain had a cycle and required a minum rainy weather duration for rain to actually happen, DynEnv might interfere with this cycle, and reduce indirectly rain probability. This is only a supposition, but if you want I can prepare a longer weather change intervals patch, for you to check if it will affect positively rain chance :up: |

I am starting to see what others are talking about for rapidshare and mediafire while testing links for others, too. Never had seen issues like this before until the last 3-4 days. Thanks. |
Installed last night and so far having very good results from it.
This is the mods and order I've installed and have had no problems yet other than one stationary boat at kiel doing flips and rolls (with no visible damage). Quote:
Also, you guys might check your contrast settings in the options screen to make sure you don't have it turned up too high. I've noticed a white-out saturation coming out of the sub bunker too... but the program self adjusts a few seconds after so I thought it was normal. I have most of my other settings to max. |

Any other opinion on the luminosity topic, guys? |

I'll chime in tomorrow anyway with my comments on the upgrade as well. :up: Thanks Mucho D40 |

I dunno . Does SH5 even use half the stuff in the Scene Dat ? |

We should stick in mind that, even in stock game, rain chances are quite low. On the other hand, messing with weather change intervals wouldn't be immune from side effects, making weather (and fog) more static. Quote:
I haven't ever messed with Scene.dat, as most of its setting are still obscure to me; incidentally, the copy of Scene.dat featured in DynEnv was edited by stoianm, I think. Have you tested the cloud transition settings you are suggesting? If not, I can release a test patch, for allowing people to do it :salute: |
Is Clear Water Surface the same as Dynamic Environment Shallow Waters from the previous version?

[QUOTE=gap;2017377]I didn't change anything in v 2.9 that could even remotely affect rain probability relative to v 2.1. Nonetheless, before we embark ourselves in testing different settings (whose effect on rain chance is anyway dubious), it would be wise to keep on the current weather change intervals for a while, taking note of rainy days over a given period. This would be better done during winter months :yep:

Hi Gap, I installed the upgrade last night but I'm going to have to work with it. I think I put too much in too soon. I am really used to the 2.1 version (the way the folders work) so I'm going to have to go one at a time. One thing I did have a problem with is the Boat wake. There is a static graphic following the boat. I'm sure it's coming from one of the add-on folders because I have never seen before. It's a big white wake that follows the boat but doesn't move. It looks like a picture of a boat wake following the boat, in other words. Have you seen this? Anyway, I'll track it down and tell you where it's coming from if I can, maybe its just not rendering correctly. Otherwise, great job. I have to get used to the file structure so I can tweek it in better, I can already tell that it has more potential in terms of high def. Back Soon. D40 :salute: |

Dogfish, I had seen that once about a month ago playing around with mods. Check to see if you flags are still waving. My flags weren't waving either once when I saw that.
With the mods that I have listed above, everything seems to be working ok now. Last night I did manage to see a lot of rain. I was in April 1941 around the gulf south of spain. Looked quite like a hurricane to me. Waves were very tall. Boat was completely submerging into a wave and almost coming complete out of the valley. It did look a bit silly to see a tug boat getting more air time than a dirt bike. Wind speeds were 15 starting out, with thunderstorms and heavy rain. Then later it slowed to 13. But the rain and wind lasted till I got back to home base. My TC is usually at most 128 but last night I put up to 512 trying to get past the bad weather. That didn't help much, only slowed the wind down to 13. I do notice the waves look a lot more real now for some reason. Good job Gap. |
which DynEnv submods have you enabled? From your description, looks like I have added sobers see thru wake fix to one of them by mistake :hmmm:[/QUOTE]
That's gotta' be it. I specifically use most of those mods of Sober's listed anyway, so I plopped that folder in for sure. That wake mod might not be working correctly or one of my other mods might be killing it. If you could take that one out if it's not needed, maybe that's the problem. Also, since I'm writing, I noticed that the water surface (on booting up) was almost lake like. Almost no foam. Is that the Clear Water folder doing that? I like the sea to look very foamy, almost messy like. That's one thing I was going to try to tweek in (or out). I really loved the definition though, this has changed the atmosphere of the boat, sea and sky. I can see that it's going to be very cool once I can get it arranged. :salute: Quote:

Has anyone of you noticed a decrease of rain occurrence after having installed this mod :hmmm: Quote:
As I was supposing, the culprit is Sobers Best Ever Tweaks submod. Easy to get rid of the glitch: disable the mod, delete the data/Shaders/Wakes folder, and enable the mod again :up: Sorry for the inconvenience guys. I knew I was going to mess something up :oops: |

You didn't mess anything up and there is no inconvenience. Seriously, you can't see everything, we're just helping you test it out. :up::up: D40 |

Just out of curiosity, would it be an easy thing to remove the underwater waving of the image? Blurry vision is a little more believable, but the images waving back and forth is kind of out of some cartoon you might see on TV. Just because it's water, doesn't make the image wave when you are under water. Only when you are looking into water from a wavy surface would the image wave about.
Blurring is even a bit a stretch, unless you are looking through eyes not made for water viewing, like human eyes. But assuming the camara is tuned for water (when underwater) it should fade out from fog but not blur. And waving about is definately science fiction. Just trying to make it better. Not complaining just offering a little constructive advice. By the way, if you have to insert a spy, you might need to save and reload to get the launch boat pop-up to happen. It might be part of OHII though. |
