Description
-
[]In the open world, the game is suppose to render an accurate cubemap for the water based on the sky and lod objects.
[
]However, when you enter and exit an interior location that has water in it, the game might revert to using a default cubamap for water, which is set to "CaveGreenCube_e.dds". This causes the water in the open world be green.[]This mod fixes that by clearing 1 game setting: "sDefaultCubeMap", which causes the game to use the sky and lod objects instead.
[]ESL.
[]Changes incorporated into v0. 6 of Simplicity of Sea.
[]This fix is still needed if you use other water mod.
