About this image

I had tried this mod a long time ago before I starting messing with the .ini files. It looks very good on the surface but underwater is way to blue and cloudy for my tastes. That and Project Purity's bay is a major eyesore. Can Anyone tell me how to alter the colors and get the bay to match surrounding water ? I've tried altering it through Geck and console but nothing seems to work. Any help would be Greatly Appreciated. Much Thanks in advance and All be Well, Anoxeron

    I don't have Fallout 3 anymore but looking in the New Vegas Geck there are separate colour settings for Project Purity water and the other river water. Fattibaldi tells me it's the same in the Fallout 3 Geck. So if you give PP water and Potomac water the same settings, they'll be the same colour, in theory(potomac is the general river water). But there'll probably be no noticeable difference from when you activate PP in-game to before.
    Lore purists will say that's unacceptable as the water before is a different colour due to the radiation but they're wrong. Radiation doesn't change water colour whatsoever.

    Also, you say you altered it in the Geck, did you save your changes as an esp file?

      Hello Dazaster !!! I appreciate the response. Actually, I did save as an .esp but I only altered the default not realizing that they were not the same. I did try to alter PP's water but didn't see any noticeable difference. But I'll go back in and give it another shot even if I have to change every body of water to the same settings. I didn't spend a lot of time on it because I needed to finish some textures for someone else. That's finished so I'll try again. Much Thanks again and Take Care, Anoxeron

      Hi again Dazaster !!! Thank You MUCH for pointing me in the right direction. I didn't see Potomac in the object window until I typed it in. I can now get the water where I want it once I figure out exactly how the fog works . Kudo to You and Thanks again, AnoxeronEdit: You are absolutely correct about radiation visibility, it isn't Lore friendly !!!

      @ Dazaster -- Hmm... Since you don't have FO3 anymore but FattiBaldy appears to have ported Blue Water. Well, I'm just wondering if maybe he could make your mod available here with your blessing.

      The water around DC area of US in real life is naturally murky/foggy due to pollution and wastes, it has nothing to do with radiation...so you are both right and wrong at the same time, you are right when you say, that radiation doesn't affect water's condition and colour, but you are wrong when you say it doesn't ruin immersion, since it's unnatural for the Washington D.C waters to be pure like that on the first place due to geographical location...but this is a mod anyway and people can do with their game whatever the heck they want...
