Any way to increase the underwater brightness?

[Heinz-Fiction]

Its dark like in a donkeys butt. while that might be realistic, i would prefer to see my boat when its submerged. Like in the Silent hunter games.

Didnt find a way though. Theres no mod for this i suppose?

It's been discussed before though I can't find the original topic. You'd have to mod it in. Hopefully someone who knows how will either make it for you or tell you how.

Until then I recommend downloading the Uboat Inspector mod, the primary tool for the Uboat modding community and check the modding wiki here

Yes i found a thread that kinda helps with this but its not exactly what im looking for as it only increase the "glow" of the uboat but dont make anything else brighter. im not really into modding; i tried it but i clearly lack the patience for it.

guess i have to rely on others

Typing from IPhone - can’t give exact lines.
Data Sheets Folder / General.xlsx file / Background page.
Look for the line that states underwater brightness or similar.
Adjust the value in the last Column.
Default is something like 2.0
Change that to something higher.
The other values that control this is Hardcoded.

aaaah yes, this is good, really really good. thank you!

I understand this, I have tried searching for the Code that affects the deeper water color , but can’t seem to figure it out.
You are correct, these values make the boat “Glow” which doesn’t look good.
The key is changing the deeper ocean color to something lighter, which will probably take a Programmer , and Not a Modder .

Tis donkey butt dark but using the red light makes a big difference. Might help might not but at least now you know if you didnt before. I thought it was ridiculously too dark until I started doing that

Thanks for the tip, just can not imagine playing a game in front of a big black screen.
Perhaps an option for this is a solution.
