I've tried to use S3D and failed. I've tried to copy Nautilus' example in harbor editing and failed. I've tried...well, none of that is important, since I'm not posting this to ask for help or advice - this would be the wrong thread anyway - I'd just start my own. I'm looking forward to the new release as well, as it may help me get over my inadequacies.
All I really wanted to say is this: I find it pretty amazing that the man who has done the most to help the Silent Hunter modding community, who may well revolutionize the whole thing, doesn't even consider himself a modder!
Well done Skwasjer! This is remarkable work.
