Need Help Sea Color

[STARk7]

I noticed that sea color changes when time passes most of the time it is dark blue but very rarely especially when I'm near a island it changes to beautiful light blue-greenish soo I am wondering if it is possible to set it to always be like that?

It changes to that light blue when you get close to sea shores.
The reason is that even in the actual Caribbean, you only get that colour water when it is shallow.

Anyway, I'll look up a way to hack the system to have it always like that.
That's certainly possible.

Relevant files:
WhrWeather.c
AISea.c
LogInterface.c
BattleInterface.c

Look through those files for "lagoon". That marks all bits related to that mod.
There is a lot of fairly complex code related to it to "fade in" and "fade out" that colour and to do it only near shores, in bright day.

There are two ways to handle it:
1. (Safest and most complex): Remove the "lagoon colour mod" altogether, then fix the sea colour at "always light blue".
2. (Probably easier): Keep the system in place, but have it fade between two the same colours.

I couldn't think of a quick way to handle it though, so you may have to go through the related code yourself.
Hopefully you can figure it out!

So it only changes when in right circumstances is it possible to change the circumstances,so it can stay that way all the time?

You can change everything. Have a look through those files I mentioned; if you have any questions on what does what, feel free to ask.

can you explain second solution you mentioned earlier I don't quite get it

I looked at the code and couldn't come up with a quick solution either.
I also don't have time to investigate it. I'm sorry.

It's ok
I'll experiment a little bit and even if I don't succeed it's not a big deal.Thanks anyway
