I've finally been able to play Danger From The Deep, in Linux (Ubuntu 9.10 32bits), and I can say that the game has a lot of potential, but I've encountered some problems regarding changing resolution. Also, a lot of things that are present in the menu are not available in this stage of the game. But anyway, I am optimistic about the future of this project and I respect a lot what those guys are doing.

Hi everybody.
As many avid subsim player, I am tired by the behavior
of ubisoft with their SH series games.
I am following dftd since a long time, and I have to agree
with the comments made above.
However, I will attempt to give attention to the project
this way.

I will pay 200 Euros to any one who will be able to put
in a 3D, spherical world in Danger From the Deep

(as opposed to the flat world of SH 3, 4 and 5).

I will try and reach the developers on their forum too.
Those who are interested, get in touch with them.

Regards

This looks great. I would love to combine an open source sub sim with FlightGear, an open source flight sim.

Hi guys,

I've been away from this forum for a LONG time, but thought I should post this message.

I was just browsing through eBay (UK) looking for u-boat stuff and this game is being sold there - fully boxed with screenshots etc.

Here's the link:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ADVANCED-U-BOA...item35b119fdad

It says there is only 1-day remaining but no doubt other copies will appear.

I thought it was open source and not available commercially?

If this is indeed the case I'll edit/remove this post. I just thought the developers and any potential purchasers should be aware of a possible scam. I can't find a contact for the team behind the game, so hopefully they will see this message.

Cheers,

Px3000

IIRC, the GNU license permits commercial sales providing the source-code is also made available. Like a lot of things on ebay, this sale isn't outright illegal, just kinda' slimy. So far no one's been dumb enough to bite.

Can we appeal to the developers or modders to resume this. I just installed it on windows vista 32 bit and I am amazed at the grapgics. The sonar station does not work and could use some menu for changing the substations so its easier to move around, similar to sh2 of which i played my heart out. i just hate for this to go to waste. anyone else?

Nothing since 2011 on their site.

Believe it or not, it is still in development, even though they have not written anymore blog posts (the last update to the project was June 2014). You just need to build from the source code is all.

If you are using linux you have to run it with the --data argument or else you will get a segfault:

Code:

build/linux/dangerdeep --datadir data

Yeah, i hope they hurry up and get 0.4.0 to work, the beta has working sonar and cool OpenGL 3 effects, but is rather glitchy (historical missions don't work, no splashes when firing the deck gun, no explosions)

magicstix · 08-07-14, 07:02 PM

Hmm, it doesn't work for me... I just get a red screen with some old timey music playing...

flyingfisch · 08-07-14, 07:35 PM

Which version are you using, and what OS?
