realistic water transparency

Recommended Posts

Hi I just started discovering the vast world of community game moding and find it great!

Latlely Ive been exploring and trying to make new vegas as realistic as i can. as long as I don't know how to make mods yet I am restricted to what is available (which is a lot!)

Anyway one of the things I found highly irrealistic both in estetic terms and gameplay was the seemingly 100% transparency of the water of hoover dam. I got the underwater fx which is good but still this would make it much more realistic I find.

I might learn how to mod and make it myself one day but untill then I'm trowing this idea out there to increase the chances of it manifesting sooner.

So I hope that this post will contribute to the manifestation of a mod that reduces the transperency of water to more realistic levels (or custumaziable levels).

Thanks for reading

 

all the best

the game has several water types with an own transparency setting for each one. so you'd have to more or less just change that values in geck, save that as a mod and it'd be done with.

THX! :) As soon as I learn how to do that I will.

OG. I went to try to do that but the window that edits the water properties is to tall for my max screen resolution of 768 and doesn't allow to move or rescale. :rolleyes:

If anyone knows a solution to this or is willing to make the plugin themself I would greatly appreciate it

 

HO!

wow, now that's a hard one to help you with... :-D

maybe try display rotation (any nvidia cards support that by default, don't know about radeon or else though)

but thx for trying. any other ideas, anyone? send a request to make a GECK patch that allows to rescale edit windows?...

the window sizes should be set somewhere in the geckprefs.ini or what the file's name was again.

you might not see all of the window if you change that though.

can't you just change the resolution to something higher, or are you running the geck on a 14''display?
