SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - [REL] Fifi Enhancements for NYGM

Fifi,not sure if this goes against the hardcore aspect of NYGM but you might take a look at this mod that simply makes flags brighter.Just now I was doing some night attacks with it and its superb but it also fixes the issue I have that in broad daylight a flag is hard to see when the sun is at its back.A compromise is needed and off I went in search and a 2009 gem was found in a mod by Rubini and Diving duck(who found the emisive property) in flags.dat.

Here is new torpedo impact fire column: https://www.mediafire.com/file/c5w74...Column.7z/file

The effect is lighter than before, and should not give CTD when impact.
On my computer it is CTD free using both ARB & DGUI, even in convoys where it needs memory.

Activate it anytime on top of Stand Alone.
Let me know if you still have issue with it :03:

I will not use the files you provided … main reason is they are more than double heavy than mine :yep:
Using others mods & mods & mods on top of mine, no surprise to get troubles at certain time …
Spending so much time to lighten files to avoid memory issues … quickly ruined :ping:

BUT… I can adjust my flag.dat & flagS.dat to get same result :yep:
Will do it for next update.
Keep in mind that in real, Kaleuns had great troubles to identify flags at night!

If you do add this could you add it as a separate mod so we can keep the flags the way they are currently if not wanted.

I agree with this.

Yes,of course.The link I posted is for GWX iirc and is missing many nation flags and as you pointed out is heavy in size.And you can fine tune it it to your night darkness settings for optimal effect.As for it being optional as asked above,I agree but I feel that if not overdone many will just use it.:hmmm:

EDIT;also I wonder if cutting all flags saturation in half before tweaking the emisive setting as they already appear over saturated and brightness will make them even more..

After testing, I think I will leave it as it is.
Emissive=30 & emissive=50 is unrealistic and Arcade to me (furthermore that flags are not that pretty)

Maximum emissive you can put to keep some realism (if we can talk of realism) is =10…

Using SD3 it takes 10mn to change both files flags emissive, so if you feel (or need) to do it you can adjust it to your liking … but as everyone’s liking is different … and everyone’s monitors settings are different … best is to keep what we have :03:

Did you try cutting saturation down first.Brightening stuff "I think" increases its saturation.Either way Ill do it on my own if need be.

Bump Mapping

Hey Fifi
there seems to be a problem with the impacts on the hull of the Uboat..
when I reloaded my save the hull was new again..:ping:
the integrity of the hull did not move 100%.. otherwise nothing else for the moment.. see you soon :salute:

It is a known SH3 (and probably 4/5) bug … saves never reload external damage.
But interior damage, yes (broken glass etc)
That’s been said, the hull % damage is always kept :yep:
Best is to accomplish the whole patrol without saves (no problem with NYGM):D but it’s not always doable with our play time.

About damages, I know sometimes when you have destroyed periscopes, you still can use them … but not always! That’s also a bug I cannot solve.

We all have different monitors and the amount of brightness and black crush is staggering.I spent 1K dollars on mine as I like a very dark game that you can still see stuff in the darkness.My next purchase will be an Oled with its ultimate dark and blackness levels.This pic shows what an Oled brings in regards to black crush.Left side the rocks are all black while right side you can make details out.

IMO this should be an individually done mod.As Fifi points out it "should":D only take 10 mins.I wanna be able to see a flag at 500m at noon but I understand on other peoples homes and monitors this is probably not an issue.
