Yes, I think that was the case IIRC...

A question, please:

Is it possible to change the skin of my boat in patrol?

I have now Rusted Glory, and I would to change to Raised Revenge skin.

I think there are some files to touch in My documents/SH5 (????) :06:

If I put the new skin with JSGME nothing change. But Rusted Glory Lights Only mod change the interiors when applied in patrol.

Thanks in advance! :Kaleun_Wink:

Try "Documents\SH5\data\cfg\SaveGames\0000000**\Player Settings.cfg.rep" file, "TAR=" line...

Do you mean the flares launched by ships? I never see any lag in TWoS 2.2.16 when a ship launchs a flare (white or red). In fact, some flares do a "parabolic trajectory" when launched, no lag, no CTD, and the effect is superbe.

My PC is not a top notch, BTW. Runs well TWoS 2.2.16 at 60 FPS (fixed at 30 FPS with Nvidia Inspector).

Best regards.

Fitzcarraldo :Kaleun_Salute:

I will try it. Many thanks, Vecko! :Kaleun_Cheers:

Best regards.

Thanks for the new update. Downloading now.:Kaleun_Cheers:

Great Job!

Fitzcarraldo :Kaleun_Salute:

Thanks for update.

Thank you Fitz, the flares were first added to the game by TDW with his FX Updates mod. I am not sure about the other games (I think there's an FX Updates also for SHIII and one for SHIV), but in SH5 those flares have always caused lags and occasional CTDs.
That was until Rongel discovered that the problem was not caused by the flare particle effect itself, but by the light nodes that their particle generators were attached to. Light nodes were used for making flares to cast actual light (and shadows), and to affect the range of visual sensors, but in order to fix the said problems, it was decided to replace them with regular nodes. This fix is now part of TWoS, that's why now you can enjoy the eye candy of distress flares without their side effects, but at the cost of their functionality.

I am now wondering whether those lags are caused by light nodes per se, or rather they came from the conjunction of the said light nodes with something else, that's why I was asking :)

Well done mate :yeah:

...just a couple of little rectifications on the release notes:

I don't think that that addon is by me, if memory serves me well it was created by someone else, most probably stoianm :yep:

This is actually by me lol, anyway it is not only the 3D model that was updated, but all the involved settings including searchlight effect, train/elevation speed and angles, damage settings and Leigh Light positioning on aircraft models :D :salute:

Sorry gap. Your remarks are noted and they will be corrected...:yep::up:

I can safely install this while in the bunker, correct?

It just so happens that I´m in the bunker right now :D

Thank you to everyone who contributed!

Correct :yep:

First impressions:

The new loading screens are awesome.
I like the new officer icons (the ones still showing the faces).
The game looks much better visually, stunning really.
The nights are super dark if there is no moon, which is as it should be, I like it, >I just hope the AI is as blind as I am :D

I like the new GUI, but I do miss the small pictures showing how a piece of equipment looks when you klick on it in the subsystems tab.

All in all, absolutely great update :Kaleun_Applaud:

Take your time on that Vecko, it is not so important, and there is no need to say sorry :salute:

Now that I think again about it, I might have tweaked that file at a later time, when someone reported that DynEnv's skies were not blue enough, but well, I think we are getting overpedantic here lol. What matters the most, is that we all learned something from editing those files, and that other people will enjoy using them :O:

What a christmas gift is this new update!! Wohoo! :D:o:yeah:


Thank you ALL for this great work!!! :salute:



@ Vecko please upload the file (create a link) for the icons-mod you posted in the past (instead the new faces-with-icons-mod). For me it looks so nice, i would love to use that one!! Thank you.


:subsim:

I think the mod in question is already there ...:yep:

And excel4004, thank you very much for your donation mate! Merry Christmas and all the best to you and your family Sir! :salute::salute::salute:

Thank you for this great update. In particular for the new weather effects. I am enjoying them very much. They are visually stunning, and now that I have discovered a version of Reshade that actually adds proper ENB effects this game is graphically modernized as well. Well Done!:Kaleun_Salute:

This update is great and I have to say thx very much vdr1981. :Kaleun_Applaud:





Which one do you mean or do you speak just about the Reshade you talk about in past here?

If you look back on page 849 of this thread you will see the post I made about using the latest version of Reshade with SH5 TWoS. There is a link to download screenshots I made in game so you can see the effects. Older versions of sweet fx and reshade caused problems with the reading the text in the log file or radio messages,also some of the scope resoultions. The new version with the preset.ini I am using does not and gives me shadow blending, luma sharpen , color vibrancy, and smaa anti aliasing. There are links on the next page to my reshade preset .ini in the conversation I had with Fitz. I don't know if he solved his problem with launching with KSD or not. The screen shots also were made using my graphics mod for TwoS so it will give you some Idea of whats included in it as well. It is available In the SH5 downloads section, and works fine with TWoS as it only alters graphics and the internal HDR filter so it does not cause any problems with the mod. It also greatly improves the internal details of the boat in my opinion. ver 1.2 of the mod has crew uniforms in a separate folder so it can be used by those who use a different version of the mighty fine crew mod than comes included in TWoS. or the base game and some other mod pack. The uniforms In the pack are for use only with TWoS as it is now as that is what I use. I have no idea how they would look on another version of the mighty fine crew mod.
