A visual overhaul mod for How to Fish that replaces the static, flat blue water plane with a fully realized procedural ocean surface. Introduces multi-layered non-repeating swell dynamics, realistic solar glint, natural coastline surf, and displacement wakes behind moving watercraft.
The water surface integrates directly with the title's illumination pipeline: it darkens during storms, absorbs warm hues at sunset, and catches point lighting from held torches and lanterns near the shoreline.
Key Features:
- Procedural Surface Dynamics: Built using eight non-synchronous layers of drifting detail with independent axes, speeds, and scales, eliminating visible tiling patterns. Alternates between expansive calm patches and rough chop across open water.
- Engine-Integrated Illumination: Responds dynamically to ambient light, fog, weather systems, solar angles, lunar cycles, and player-carried torches or lanterns.
- Realistic Fresnel Reflections: Low reflection overhead at noon (exposing deep blue waters) transitions into blazing specular reflections at grazing angles during sunrise and sunset.
- Dynamic Shoreline & Surf: Measures seabed topography in real time to generate rolling surf and foaming wash that travels up and down sandy shores with the tide.
- Vessel Wakes: Moving boats leave behind churned, white-water wakes with heaped edges that catch light and gradually fade away. Renders for all boats across multiplayer sessions purely client-side without requiring other players to install the mod.
Installation:
- Install BepInEx 5 (x64) into your root How to Fish installation folder (alongside How to Fish.exe).
- Launch the game once to initialize directories, then exit.
- Place the mod file (BetterOceans.dll or the extracted archive folder) into:Э
How to Fish/BepInEx/plugins/ - Launch the game.
