@Mikhayl: I've started building an "S-Boot War" campaign. I've decided to add the following S-Flotilles:
1 S-Flot 2 S-Flot 3 S-Flot 4 S-Flot 5 S-Flot Any others really are just duplicates. I'll use GWX as my base, because it better supports places like the Med and Black Sea. Variety. However, with the release of GWX2.1 supposedly soon, I'd rather wait before continuing - there'll be changes to key files that I need to adjust and I'd rather do it once. Once it's done, if others want to make compatible versions for other mods, they can go for it. Nb: Does/will the S-boat display an emblem on each side? If so, some emblems for the above flotillas will be nice (http://www.wlb-stuttgart.de/seekrieg...sfl-frames.htm can be used as a guide). Maybe someone can help out with this? |

Here's some more shots of the Schnellbootweiss skins. It's nearing completion... I'm going to do some weathering on it tomorrow, and maybe it'll be ready to release. After that I'll use it as a base for a variety of camouflage schemes and emblem variations.

We can never have too many skins!
Seeing that cool new skin got me wondering, will the AI S-Boats have the same skin? I just don't like being the only one to have a different skin. I like to feel like I'm just another member of the team and not stand out. |

The skin for the playable S-Boot is inside the unit dat file, but theres nothing to stop you from using this skin on the AI units by renaming it.

A good mod. But with terrible ways for it to play. Someday I hope you can make it playable with Sh3 Commander. Also, maybe we could control an aircraft carrier, a destroyer, or maybe even a battleship someday if some one like you could invent it. I'm sure it may happen someday or it may not, but a good idea this mod has done to improve the way technology can go. I'm hoping for it to go further. I liked it, but my Sh3 commander was still running somehow even though it was off. I uninstalled it and somehow it was still in the comp after I uninstalled and deleted the folders.
Btw...could you make it where we could use the spotlight!? |

Oh men... You are absolutely crazy.
I haven't tried the Schnellbotte yet and I'm not planning it soon, as I'm perfectly involved with sinking merchies the under-way, but fnally I'll have a S-way try for sure... From what I see by the time it eventually happens you'll be ready with tons of skins, various S-boat types, SWX 1.3a and maybe even OLCSB GUI. :rotfl: That's probably the fastest growing mod project I've seen here ever. I admire you, modders.

Nice Mikhayl. Hopefully any changes to files in GWX2.1 won't set you back too much.
Re SH3Cmdr compatibility, you'll be pleased to hear that the new version I'm working on is quite happy with your S-Boat. To reiterate though, it's not hard to make SH3Cmdr compatible with the S-Boat in the meantime. Just: 1. open SH3Cmdr's "Sh3 options.cfg" file 2. scroll down to the "[CRUSH DEPTH]" block 3. delete the line "IIA=NSS_Uboat2A|x2688|175". 4. save and close Once the S-Boat campaign is completed though, there'll be a need for many updated SH3Cmdr files to reflect the flotilla changes and just the basic differences between S and U boats. But I don't forsee any probs and I can help you with that aspect when the time comes as I know a thing or two about the way SH3Cmdr works, LOL! Re the TypeIIA text, I know someone who spent a lot of time unsuccessfully trying to figure that out when SH3 was first released (when turning the IIA into a IIB). My guess is that the text is derived from the class name. I can't see anywhere else, unless it's hardcoded, that the text could come from. FYI when building the campaign I will need to make changes to *_menu.txt. I'll keep the changes isolated so that they can be imported into your copy. |

Hi all! well, first, congratulations Mikhayl and modders are helping you for the amazing work i seen.
Until a couple of days ago, the Schnellbootes were unknown for me, only have some news several months ago of the game ptboats, but not like me very much, I always prefer the uboots (My loved VIIC forever hehe). But seeing this amazing mod work, I started to search info about german fast attack boats and the idea to attack a merchant at 40knots instaid 2 underwater call my attention powerfully . I love this mod! In the approach to a convoy, avoid docens of shells fallen around me, and the tension of shoot torp, hope the impact, and trying escape alive is very funny!. Is complicated and this is a new challenge for me sink merchant on this new way. Thank you guys for your hard work and make the SH3 a new experience for all of us . Here are a pair of captures of one of mi first "raid", see you! P.D: Sorry for my poor english, im from spain, and have it a litte Rusty. |

Its a great mod but we do need to get DD or another good 3D moddler in on this project to work on the moddle. No offence Mikhayl your doing a great job getting the mod to work but the boat looks too short and stubby compaired to pics of the real thing.
