Hi Steve,

 

As the title says, I'm looking for a way to get darker water, ocean water, to be specific. My current settings in the fixer are Sky Reflection min and max are at 5% and Ambient Light is at the minimum, 75%. The issue is that the water base color is still too light, and too blue to accurately appear as Atlantic Ocean water.

 

Is it feasible to have a wider range for the Ambient Light slider, or, as an alternative, are there any settings I could change myself?

 

Thanks,

Jay

 

I believe REX offered/offers  the ability to darken your water.  

Jay, well actually there is!

 

As Erich suggest one option is to find a darker texture.

 

But using just the fixer you need to find and edit you dx10.ini file in

 

<your user>\Appdata\Local\DX10SceneryFixer

 

Find the line

DayAmbience= and change it to a percentage lower than 75 so e.g 66 is 66%

 

When you open the fixer water dialog then you will see the value you entered in the box with the slider over to the left hand side, if you move the water slider it will change the value back to above 75 but if you leave it alone then the lower value should persist even if you change something else in the dialog.

Steve,

 

That's excellent. I'll try it out later on.

 

Best Regards,

Jay

Thanks Erich, but I actually already own REX4 and the only water texture options are Light, Medium and Dark, and the even the dark is still too bright. I know that REX Essentials has sliders to adjust the base color but I already own REX4 and it doesn't have that (very needed) ability.

Steve,

 

Just to report back, I successfully edited the dx10.ini, as you outlined. Worked great (no surprise there) and I've settled on 55% (for the time being!).

 

Thanks for your help and many thanks for your efforts!

 

Jay
