Alive and kicking!
Hi there mates!
I'm all right, thanks for all the support. I really appreciate that. I'm working my regular job, after finishing it, I go to the motorcycle customizing shop and work there until late at night. I return home, eat something, talk a little with my three girls and go to sleep. No time for anything. This project is magnificent. This is by far, the best mod ever made for SH4. I'm really proud of being in the team that makes such a masterpiece. The ship sinking model will change the way we think and fight. This is MY masterpiece, a complete revision of how ships take damage and sink. I didn't try to imitate other people's work. I did it my way, and the results are more than I expected. But it takes tremendous time and testing, time that I don't have now. If the situation I'm in now continues for long, I'll release it as it is now, with all my notes and observations of how this thing should be done. But I hope I'll be able to finish it myself, my own contribution to Subsim for offering me all this great stuff, all these years, and to all my FOTRS Ultimate mates. This mod is the best. I'll try my best to make it even better. That's a promise. Be well mates, Billy.

Good to hear you're doing OK, other than continually working... Take your time with your mod. It's a mod, and can come out later. There will be the core FotRS Ultimate release, and then yours can be added in later. If you do want help on it, you can put what you have up on the Google drive anytime, and one or all of us will chip in. Take care of yourself and your family first.

I can look at the "menu_1024_768.ini" file for the binocular compass placement for interacting with the various resolutions a person may use........this is why you're seeing the compass bearing in the middle of your screen (it shouldn't be positioned there). But, the correction (if there is one) may not work on everyone's monitor. The game expects us to still be using the default 1024x768 resolution 4:3 aspect ratio that was standard in 2003. Didn't you tell us you're using some 2000x1000 something resolution? No guarantee your resolution will be fixed. Going "whole hog" with your computer specs just because you can doesn't make the game play better......actually it can make it play worse.

My intention was to win MadMax as a consultant and tutor for the project "FORTS ultimate". He then reported even when MarineSims.de and FORTS officially released to the community for development and troubleshooting. However, he would himself not invest more time in FORTS. So there is no conflict between MadMax and the team of FORTS ultimate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ich bin etwas verwirrt, habe ich einen Fehler gemacht oder Dich damit verärgert? Meine Intention war, MadMax als Berater und Tutor für das Projekt "FORTS ultimate" zu gewinnen. Er hat sich dann auch bei MarineSims.de gemeldet und FORTS offiziell für die Community zur Weiterentwicklung als auch Fehlerbehebung freigegeben. Allerdings kann und möchte er selber keine Zeit mehr in FORTS investieren. Es gibt also keinerlei Konflikte zwischen MadMax und dem Team von FORTS ultimate. |

I originally took on the project because I've always loved FOTRS and thought it was a shame that even its availability was endangered. And I think this beautiful mod never got the attention it deserves. I hope Maddy is happy his work not only survives but is getting a bit of a revival!

Now, talk about confusing... If I look at AOTD.DE in German, his user name is "Bleiente", as it is here; look at it in the Google Translate, it's "Lead Duck"...
Sorry for not having recognized you over there, and the fact that you reached out to them in early March of 2015 wondering about updating it... A little side note for RR, I've only gotten 20 pages in thus far for "documentation" of this thread. Too many distractions. I might have to work on a computer that does NOT have SH4 installed on it... Last edited by propbeanie; 09-02-16 at 10:51 AM. Reason: documentation |

I could certainly help out with the testing if it will help lighten your load any. Just let me know what to look for. Myself and the rest of the guys are more than willing to help you if you need it.

I use it yes also requires and have sometimes fear that I say unintentionally something indecent ... and the 3rd World War Subsim triggering (especially when I'm drunk then). As already said, Maddy has officially his blessing for the development and revision of FORTS by the community. Thus FORTS ultimate is a great project. --------------------------------- The best greetings to XTBilly. |

The bad thing, is English is "backwards" compared to almost all the other languages of the world... I almost started a war before on a Spanish language site (I thought I knew enough about Spanish to post... I did not - high school can only take you so far), and I actually swore at a person, quite by accident, of course. I wish there would have been a Google Translate or similar back then... The replies and retorts went on for almost three pages...

At Billy - please remember the following
Never run when you can walk. Never walk when you can stand. Never stand when you can sit. Never sit when you can lay down. Never lay down when you can sleep. Take care of your family first - we will enjoy your mod when it is ready and not before

Ummm.......I hope you guys aren't thinking I'm trying to hurry Billy along with his mod. That was the last thing on my mind. I thought I could ease the burden some if he needed it. I know he has a lot of other things on his mind at the moment, much more important.
