The Unofficial "Official" SH3 screenshot thread!

I would also like to point out that the "haze" is the way the stock game limits the drawn distance to 8 km. It's there even on a perfectly clear day, which is not realistic at all.

i will not agree that in MEP the heavy fog look similar to no fog and i could post pics prooving this. in MEP v4.3 the fog settings are setted to some specific distances that i don't want to reveal and ,indead, the heavy fog state is a little bit further but it is not so much though in order to call it the same with 'no fog'.

anyway, the point is that you can alter and make it as you wish in any enviro no matter if it is 20 or 16 or 8 km.

open your scene.dat and go at fog settings, in there there are four situations labeled as [0],[1],[2] and [3].
you are interested for the [3] (this is the heavy fog situation). in there you will find the ''ObjectsRelativeZMax'' and ''SeaRelativeZMax'' values. start reducing these values and you will see this 'haze' coming to you, continue reducing the values till it fits to your tastes.
have in mind that these values are analogical , i mean that same value in a 8km enviro and sameMa at a 20km eviro is giving different outputs so don't look for copying values from a 8km enviro. just ...start moding and make it as you like

Many thanks for the support!! I will try it and I will post here some images.

I like the "volumetric" fog option in SH4 and in 8ks environs I had that simulated"haze". It's only a candy eye factor but for me is an inmersive factor in the gameplay...a matter of taste of course.

I will continue this discussion in the MEP thread.

Best regards.
