SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - I am Privateer. The inside story of an SH3 Modder

I decided to use privateer as my screen name since I'd been calling myself a Privateer in my Construction business.
And it seemed fitting for SubSim.

I started out just reading and looking at things as a lurker. As many of us do.

I was quick to download every tool I could find. Like the tweak files and such. I was also quick to contact the people that had knowledge of the files. Those that responded? I became friends with. Those that did not?
Well. My attitude at the time would bite me in the aft area soon enough.

SH3 had the dreaded StarForce at the time. One thing I never told anyone?
I had broken that long before the release of the one you'll find today.
That version breaks things! My version didn't.
I no longer have my version and there is no need for the other version.
Buy the newest releases as they have the files un-altered by StarForce.

I started tinkering to learn. At that time? I hadn't come into contact with the VERY best. So I did stupid things to learn.
A Santa suit in the control room and such.
I wanted to be someone that created something not in the SH3 Game so I carried on with things.
Not knowing I was being watched.
