[WIP] Cold War Mod

Capt Jack Harkness · 02-07-08, 04:42 AM

This is a continuation of my request thread, created because now there is actual work being done on the project. The idea is for a 1960's or 1970's Cold War total conversion mod involving American and Russian submarines, both nuclear and diesel-electric, as well as period correct surface fleets. No idea for a plot as of yet...

So far, we have a functional Project 627A November class nuclear submarine that was discovered on Sukhoi.ru and created by Dagon. He is also working on an Oscar II class (possibly others as well). USS Trigger has been working on both a Hotel II class, K-19 specifically, as well as a Los Angeles class, and one of his friends is at work on a Guppy/Tang class boat.

We hope to get at least one nuclear and one diesel boat per side for starters and would greatly appreciate the help of any and all experienced modders!

Now on the subject of the November: It is currently in an alpha stage of development and as such is not yet available for public download. It lacks all sounds other than crew announcements (this is still a mystery to me) and needs much more to be a complete submarine, such as a proper interior. I can email the current version to anyone willing to experiment or improve upon it, just pm me with your address.

Well,my personal vission as a SH player,not modder,is that this can be a very positive future challenge.Now,with the inminent addon,and exploting the entire SH4 for the next months,are good news a mod conversion into the early cold war.
My vote goes for you,very good job !

tonibamestre · 02-07-08, 05:48 AM

Oh by the way...,dont you think would be interesting to implement the Foxtrot and Sturgeon classes?
And what about early SSBLs ? do you see them viable inside the project?

Capt Jack Harkness · 02-07-08, 06:47 AM

The Foxtrot would be great, after all, it was the diesel-electric workhorse of the Soviet fleet until the Kilo was developed. Basically any sub from the '50s to the 80s would be cool, but I'm trying to keep the focus on the earlier subs as they are not so wildly advanced compared to the WWII boats and thus should be a bit easier to implement.

As for the SSBNs, it all depends on whether or not we can implement missiles. Trigger has been doing some work on this (as well as a handful of other projects), but as I've said, any help is appreciated.

DavyJonesFootlocker · 02-07-08, 06:54 AM

Now what possible scenario can this take on? Not historical I suspect but a sort of quasi-fantasy type storyline. Kudos for taking up this project.

tonibamestre · 02-07-08, 08:35 AM

Why not? We have the Cuba crisis.By the rest,just give chance to our imagination,patrol US east coast,outside Murmansk base.......and more.
You know what would be nice for that? to have a 24h server engaged in order to play long term missions,leave the base,navigate thousands of miles,comply with the mission and come back home, if able of course.

Snakeeyes · 02-24-08, 01:12 PM

Wow.... wow.... wow....

The merging of the graphics of SHIV with my favorite submarine era....

I wouldn't make a good beta tester because my time is REALLY limited until June but I had to make sure that you knew how excited I am and have your full support.

THANK YOU!

Oberon · 02-24-08, 02:15 PM

DO WANT!!

Seriously, this is superb and I will be following this closely!

keltos01 · 02-26-08, 04:58 AM

Could you email a copy of that sub to me as you said you could on request ? my email is either fred.heller@swing.be (max 5 mb) or fred.heller@hotmail.com if larger in size.

For ur intel, we have a foxtrot class russian sub in zeebrugge, at the belgian coast, which is there on display. I've been in it twice, I should be able to get pictures for anyone who'd like to mod one of those.

I am wondering if this great mod is successful,on further developments could be possible to implement controllable destroyers,FFGs,cruisers or Carriers? Or this is the result of my hot imagination?
The best would be that Ubi start the development of such addons,but what in the event they never do it?

Linton · 02-26-08, 11:16 AM

Oberons,mmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tonibamestre · 02-26-08, 04:08 PM

Yeah!! Oberon class why not? Its an early 60s submarine perfectly adjustable into a project like this.
I think the oportunities are really a lot.An amazing cold age enviroment can be developed and introduced,with several types of platforms from 2 or 3 different navies,and if it goes well more complex units can be built.
About the multiplayer,do you think some kind of dedicated server could be used in order to develop long term sea missions (days)?

Oberon · 02-26-08, 05:38 PM

Betcha couldn't guess that an Oberon would get my vote!
