Lane it will be interesting to the community to compare our relative FPS's with this mod - you have more CPU and less GPU than me. I wonder who will fare worse? (P4 2.6Ghz / Nvidia 7950GT 512MB)Originally posted by lane2512:
Thanks all.....
Since it will be in TM 1.4 I will wait for that.
I have a lower end graphics card so it will be interesting to see what happens. Right now I have absolutely no problems with it (Nvidia 6800 256 k).....
Beer and BBQ is FEDexd to all.......

<span class="ev_code_YELLOW">WORD OF ADVICE</span>
This mode does not only look like the Ocean...<span class="ev_code_YELLOW">IT IS MODELED LIKE THE OCEAN</span>meaning that there are currents that afect the ships and subs, read the read me file.
The person that did it <span class="ev_code_YELLOW">leovampire </span> used a real model of ocean flows and phisics.
"First: before anything thank you TimeTraveller for your Mini tweeker
because all this would be beyond my abilities without it! And Ndrifter
for the scene aduster to use with mini tweeker.
Second: thanks to UBISOFT for making a game engine that can
handle these kind of effects,conditions and visualization!
Third: thanks to a friend of mine, Bob Wood, who gave me the
technicle data on wave Armonics and Coeficiants! He makes
custom speed boats both for ocean going and fresh water so
understands all of that to make them operate properly.
What this does to start with is gives a rime and reason to the
oceans movments vs Wind direction and speed and also matches
up sea foam effects with newly formed waves.
Second it eliminates all flying sub and ship effects from the
game. And no longer does the ocean just do it's thing and
ignors what comes in contact with it. And at the same time
no ship or sub can glide along like on an invisable rail.
Thrid it creates the same feelings old time mariners got when
they were on the ocean and the reason why so many men wanted
those kinds of jobs because the ocean is a facinating and
wonderous thing to see in all motions and movments and living
force.
Now there is an actual current and force to the ocean in it's
every movment and wave. And depending on how much thrust a ship
or sub uses against it and the direction you are going vs the
wind and ocean waves now effects how much control you have over
your sub. Ships and Subs have to lean into turns to manuver
through the current and waves. And when you are stoped and
just sitting there in ruff and or stormy sea's you will get
moved around like a rag doll in a kids hand's. As the waves
push against the sub you can watch the ballast guages to the
left of your planes man fill up with water and expell it again.
If you turn your rudder while you sit there the ocean will
turn your sub because there is an actual current.
Just hope you and your men don't get sea sick! LOL!
Now I have basicly maxed out all I could in full storm sea's
without losing the integrity of the effects so I sugest you
don't push anything any further just because you want larger
waves. The over all wave hight now counts for under and over
the flat surface of the ocean and to change one thing means
effecting all 5 states the ocean will give you not 4 anymore.
The 5th state is the full storm effect when the ocean currents
and speed reach's it's max.
This is all a build up effect so you have to look at it for a
few seconds or so for everything to kick in so going from the
command room to the bridge and then free cam each time you have
to give it a few seconds to see and get the full effects the way
the game engine works!
I am presenting this in 2 modes! 1 a ready and usable MOD to download
and use JSGME to install. 2 a manual adjustment because some people are
using MOD's that already have changes in the Scene file and I want you to
keep what you selected originaly but I will go step by step with you on how to
make your own Scene MOD to install using the JSGME"

Hustle up there Captain.Originally posted by lane2512:
Gee fellas....feel like a heel...but in the last week I have
..dumped the whole game and reinstalled
..patched to 1.3
..modded to TM1.3
..remodded to TM1.3a
..have gotten to my third patrol.......
really really really don't want to start all over yet....I want to sink some stuff first.
It's ok. Some of us have alot more time on our hands than we'd like.
This game keeps my hands out of trouble. Being disabled and not working sucks seaweed. Now you guys know why I'm so vocal about the mistakes in SH IV. Anyone need a good rig built for them?

I know Ducimus has vaguely hinted/implied that the ocean mod will be part of TM1.4.
Maybe we need more guinea pig mod testers to give their specs and their experience in FPS before & after. Just a thought.
Not all of us have dual 7900's running on our desktop
That said, if it is to be included in 1.4 then I think I'll wait until then. I fall squarely in the same camp as Lane. I just uninstalled...patched to 1.3...modded to TM1.3a, and only started sinking IJN yesterday.

YES YES YES
Celeon approves of that.
It just not looks better, it feels more realistic too.
This mod is H O T
