+Stary Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Open Ocean test map View File FOR SF2:North Atlantic ONLY! This is simple open waters map, for testing purposes. Whole map consists only of single 100x100 kilometers plane, repeating self to create 1000x1000 kilometers map. Water file is defined, so are locations of Friendy and Enemy task forces spawn points. I decided NOT to include any test islands so far to keep it clean of any land areas. For testing/evaluation purposes ONLY I've included simple Max files used to created this terrain, one is 1000x1000 KM mesh, the other, used in this map is 100x100 KM on Submitter Stary Submitted 03/20/2012 Category Full Terrains Quote
liamp51 Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Does this mean we can have better water on the other maps too? Thanks man! Quote
+Stary Posted March 21, 2012 Author Posted March 21, 2012 not on stock ones or those in older format terrain editor created, this is new created in max that's why it can have proper mesh name that automatically adds water effect to the mesh Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 What i asked my self all the time i saw the new water, can the water colour be changed?! the north atlantic is not so bright blue?! Quote
+Stary Posted March 21, 2012 Author Posted March 21, 2012 The North Atlantic Drift part of Gulfstream is in fact that blue. As you can see I've included modified colours water files, to no effect sadly Quote
+PureBlue Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Thanks Stary. Note: The watermap is not 8bits, that's why in my install I couldn't insert any ships using ME, because the whole map is considered to be land. Here's a converted watermap that fixes it for me. ocean_water.rar Quote
+Stary Posted March 21, 2012 Author Posted March 21, 2012 hmm, I have friendly task force showing Quote
+Fubar512 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 the north Atlantic is not so bright blue?! Oh Really? And you know this because.....? I love how all these self-proclaimed experts who never even seen an ocean, like to make statements like this.....Not so much you, Blackbird, I'm referring to some bozo at SimHQ proclaimed that since the St Lawrence river's water was "Grey" than so must everything else. This is a video of tuna fishing the Azores, right smack in the middle of the North Atlantic....does the water in the vdeo look over-saturated to you? If so, then take it up with God http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcKvR2VV6MY&feature=related Estuarine and near coastal water may be Grey-green, dark-green, or blue-green, but deep, offshore water is blue, and Gulf Stream water is imperial-blue. 1 Quote
Romflyer Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 That is a big a$$ fish!!! As for the ocean colour, I have not yet picked up SF NA , but judging by the sky reflections on the water in the many screen shots, I bet the water colour will look much less.....saturated with an overcast sky...... Just like it does in real life Quote
+Stary Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 Oh Really? And you know this because.....? I love how all these self-proclaimed experts who never even seen an ocean, like to make statements like this armchair experts FTW! (and yes, I've seen few seas and one ocean in my life, flew over one once) Quote
