... yep I agree, Avala's new foam texture gives, I think, the best results so far ...

[Avala]

And its actually rather small texture   

I tried 1024x1024 and even 2048x2048, but then it came to me that this is not swimming simulation after all

But how is that the sea surface is absolutely flat on my computer while running in the images in the posts I see in 3 D ??
What I miss mod to make an 3 D effect in the waves on my screen??
Thanks for the suggestions..

Hello,

You need to be running the game in Perfect mode and Open GL!
Set:
In your main game's conf.ini file set "HardwareShaders=1"
...
and
"water=4" for NVidia
or
"water=2" for Ati/AMD graphic cards.

So, e.g.:
...
conf.ini

[Render_OpenGL]
TexQual=3
TexMipFilter=3
TexCompress=0
...
...

HardwareShaders=1

Shadows=2
Specular=2
SpecularLight=2
DiffuseLight=2
DynamicalLights=0
MeshDetail=2
VisibilityDistance=3

Sky=2
Forest=3
LandShading=3
LandDetails=2

LandGeom=2
TexLarge=1
TexLandQual=3
TexLandLarge=1

VideoSetupId=17
Water=2
Effects=1
ForceShaders1x=1

PolygonOffsetFactor=-0.15
PolygonOffsetUnits=-3.0

Many thanks Tom2 for your prompt response,
 but your valuable suggestions have been made ??on the file conf.ini on time,
 HarwareShaders = 1
 water = 4
 [Render_OpenGL]
 TexQual = 3
 TexMipFilter = 3
 TexCompress = 0

 HardwareShaders = 1

 Shadows = 2
 Specular = 2
 SpecularLight = 2
 DiffuseLight = 2
 DynamicalLights = 0
 MeshDetail = 2
 VisibilityDistance = 3

 Sky = 2
 Forest = 3
 LandShading = 3
 LandDetails = 2

 LandGeom = 2
 TexLarge = 1
 TexLandQual = 3
 TexLandLarge = 1

 VideoSetupId = 17
 Water = 4
 Effects = 1
 ForceShaders1x = 1

 PolygonOffsetFactor =- 12:15
 PolygonOffsetUnits =- 3.0

 Keep in mind that my PC is running a video card GeForce 7950.NVIDIA. held at the maximum settings .. and despite the "Perfect mode" and '"OpenGL" my waves are perfectly flat, absolutely flat .. the 3D effect of the published images in posts does not occur, even I do not even appear in the foam effects in adverse weather conditions...  Maybe I have to give up and wait for a more powerful video card?
 Thanks anyway for your interest.
 However thanks and have a joyful flight.

Try changing this:
ForceShaders1x = 1

to this:
ForceShaders1x = 0



santobr.

[stanislao]

OK I'll try and then I'll tell you .. Thank you.

[SAS~Tom2]

Sorry my tips didn't help, I assumed you might have not read the previous posts.
Maybe cutoff the entire OpenGL range of your config.ini and copy and paste the ones by Avala exactly in your config.ini-without doubling things.

Other than that I'm sorry, no clue from my side...maybe santobr's tip helps..

Good Luck

i can't read Russian...ah well guess imma have to do it through trial and error...

[supercrapnstuff]

how do you install this? im completely clueless and i can't read russian to begin with, but the effect looks amazing
btw i have plutonium does that effect this?

I have both installed and neither appears to affect either one. And Russian? What Russian? All instructions are in English.

Anyway, if you go to page 14:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,15180.156.html
and from htguderians post about halfway down the page, download his version of more frs friendly water, then you'll get a zipped file. Unzip of course.

In the unzipped folder go to the deepest folder, which is called 'animated' and place that folder here:

...#DBW/Mapmods/maps/_Tex/water/animated

place the 'FoamNV40.tga' file in the same place.

This version of carmaster's water mod does the same but is lighter on frs ... you might also wish to replace the foam texturewith the newer version, which can be downloaded from here on page 15
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,15180.168.html

Download it from avala's post. The new foam is worth the install. Place it in the same location as the original foam texture.
