[WIP]Underwater Environment

V1.1 (ATLANTIC) GWX 8k (Standard) Released!


This Underwater Environment mod seeks to make the default SH3 underwater scene to realistic colors based on weather, and time of day. Different weather conditions affect the ocean's under water color by many certain factors such as quality of the sunlight, dissolved minerals, and microscopic organisms living it the water. Stormy conditions, or cloud cover will make the water more of a murky grey, while in a storm, usualy plankton, or other underwater organisms release bacteria, and spreads underwater which gives it the green color.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Silent Hunter III however, none of these factors are really molded out giving just a boring shade of bluish grey. This version of the mod covers the Atlantic ocean (as this is the most common traveled throughout the game). There are three types of weather settings, and three different layouts for each setting. New features from first release; the ocean at night is more realistic using a dark over color according to the environment. All of the surface settings are by default to the orginal environment mod, in this case GWX 3.0 Gold so there are no problems with the water surface.









By SouriaBasharAkbar
V.1.1 12/7/2012

Instructions: Be sure to disable any other environment mods, and have the default GWX 3.0 Gold installed. Note: If you install the 16k Atmosphere mod, this will turn the sky grey. As I said, if this mod is popular enough I will add in other versions for envrionment mods including the 16k GWX. However, I figure that enough kaleuns enjoy GWX 3 Gold as it is.

Credits:
To the original creators of the wonderful GWX3.0 Gold.
-If you like this please request that this is included/combined in either MEP 4.0 or U-boat Hahd, or others in the 16k versions etc, I will do so if there is popular demand. This mod only covers the Atlantic (So far).

Hmm, I think the least User play with an 8 km atmosphere yet, or...?!

I am very sorry but this mod will be discontinued. However, I would like to work with Manos: MEP 4.0 then combine my underwater realism with his. I have to get hold of him and I don't even know if he's still working on M.E.P 4.0 because I can't find the thred when I saw it a couple of weeks ago.

dude just pm makman, cuz hes very busy. i was doing the same thing you were at one time. got some advice from him and everything. if i still had the files and the colors and textures id give them to you. i had seperate files for the medaterain and the atlantic north and south and i was going to make it to where during the seasons it would change but i got as far as the colors of the skies and then real life bit me in the butt and i had to get rid of my computer. good luck though man, makman probably will include it but thats not for me to decide. just contact him.
