[Ducimus]

It's ok pants, cause unlike him, ive had a piece of GWX in the indian ocean on my hard drive for sometime now :P I honestly don't expect any PM, i have big mouth when im drunk, and the kpt knows this. lol.

[Kpt. Lehmann]

(waves "Hello" again. :p :D )

[P_Funk]

Hello!

*glee* :D

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Hello!

*glee* :D

Careful... you know who is watching. :p Don't forget to wave!

[Pants]

:ahoy: Hello
I have a secret...SHHH dont tell anyone boo!

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Hey Pants, did I tell ya that Catherine Bell is going to be one of our Beta testers?:yep:

[Dowly]

She will!? :o

Please please please, let me be her tech support guy!!! Pleeeease!!!! :yep: I´ll plug her in so he can enjoy the se.... game.

[Pants]

Bugger off! she's in my dept ;)

[Ducimus]

Sorry guys, she's at my house, and im not sharing! Go find your own bombshell to oggle at! :D

[Dowly]

I.... hate... you... :shifty:

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Oh negaaativvve! She is to be my personal liason... at least when my girlfriend isn't watching. :cool: (pokes watcher in the eye)

[Ducimus]

Hey man, you gotta be quick!

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Ummm hey guys... Have you ever noticed that when you are banging away with the deck gun... you can hear it (although muted) in the interior of the sub?

Did you ever notice that you CANNOT hear the flak guns when they are shooting (from the interior) although you can hear the planes?

Ummm we fixed it.

(Didn't we Cat?)

[Ducimus]

All i can say is, im bored. Im sooo ready for SH4.

Either that or maybe i need to give up campaign games and just play single missioins.

Lately im getting impatient and looking for more action and less waiting around for a ship to blow up that will go down just like the last one, and the one before that, and the one before that and the one before that. You should see the effect of my subs zone.cfg file settings and the DC settings. Equipment damage and flood city. U505 mission is a rollercoaster ride for me now. Up down up down up down. I think the odds of surviving are at least 10 to 1. Its a shame campaign games arent normally that exciting.

[THE_MASK]

Please let her be a new crew member in GWX:huh:

[Ducimus]

Please let her be a new crew member in GWX:huh:

I'll bet Lehmann has her as a pinup girl in his radio room.

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Actually no... Now I REALLY have a thing for Katee Sackhoff.:yep: :yep: :yep: Arrrr.

LOL... Not the best pic true... but if you watch Battlestar Galactica you know what I mean.:arrgh!:

[Kpt. Lehmann]

We also gave the dolphins sound(s) that you can hear either on hydrophone... or you can hear if you are cheating with the F12 freecam when you get closer to them.

On the same day we corrected their 3D model... no more transparent gaps during movement/animation.

:arrgh!:

Catherine and Katee had a lot of fun with the dolphins.:sunny:

[P_Funk]

Actually no... Now I REALLY have a thing for Katee Sackhoff.:yep: :yep: :yep: Arrrr.

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f117/KptLehmann/--2006-10-30--01-55-49.jpg She looks more like a REAL female marine. You know... dirty, pale, smoker, has that look that says she decapitates after mating...

Now that's thrilling!

[kylania]

Now that's thrilling!

Sure, but just once... :o

[SubConscious]

BTW - Love the sig line. I'm assuming you've read the Wilfred Owen poem by the same name.
But of course. Pretty much the only good thing to come out of WW1.

Well, there was "All Quiet on the Western Front." ;)

That Wilfred Owen poem has to be one of the all-time best war poems. Though I also like "Death of the Ball Turrent Gunner" by Randall Jarrell.

Kudos!

As poems go, theres always blood on the risers.

[SubConscious]

Regarding the whole GWX release: I have a very good reason for wanting to see GWX come out ASAP. You see, the missus and I have a second child due December 24th. Our first child, however, came exactly a month early, so we may be looking at a Thanksgiving baby as opposed to a Christmas baby.

It suuuurrrre would be nice to be able to play GWX before the baby arrives (and months of sleep deprivation ensue!).... nudge, nudge... wink, wink.... ;)

You know, I *still* remember studying Dulce et Decorum Est in primary school near 30 years ago. It is perhaps my favourite poem.

Just thinking of it now reminds me of Siegfried Sassoon, Anthem for Doomed Youth and, d'oh, iambic pentameter...

Same here only it was about... oh lemme think... 2 and a half years ago? Maybe? Grade 12 Literature class. I love war poetry just for the very simple, sober approach and the very jagged real imagery. Terrible irony how beautiful poetry comes from the most terrible of wars.

EDIT. and to SUbConscious kudos on the kid! Hopes its a boy so that by the time he's 12 you can play SIlent Hunter 13 with him.

yeah that would screw with your head, which was probably the point of singing that song at the particualr moment you describe.

Thanks! No periscopes on either of the offspring. My 2 1/2 year old loves the foam cutlasses I bought her though. If you can imagine a very pretty (not that I'm biased) little girl of about 27 pounds, 34 inches tall brandishing a cutlass almost as long as she is tall, striking a dramatic pose and yelling at the top of her lungs "TA HA!!!" before smacking her old man repeatedly with said weapon, you can imagine why I'm just tickled to have another girl. :up:

Very cool! Congrats SubConscious! :up: :up: :up:

In other news... and to tell you how deep much of our research goes into the GWX campaign... a little quote snippet from our documentarian....

"I am also in a process of accessing some data about the movements of the ship in WWII. I have to get permission from the office of Public Relations of the Pentagon. Technically. the ship is still on active status...

Here's a pic. You already have permission. It's from me. If you want to make an appendix with additional pics of ships that cannot fit into the main chapters, here's one."

No I'm not going to show you the pic... :cool:

[P_Funk]

Wow you guys really have a plan or at least the semblance of one. Its obvious that the marketing campaign is in full swing.

I would love to see a screenie. That last one of the dock was tres cool.

Question: Can beta testers post images of GWX? Or is it only pleasant words that we can tantalize the community with?

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Depends... details will be covered with the beta testers next week. Very likely mostly text...

There are a few brand new things that we haven't breathed a word about yet.

The big guns will fire soon enough. :cool:

[P_Funk]

I think we know that only one game is going to own my free time for the next month.

I must say I've never seen a community mod for a game that's been this anticipated and oh so secretive. I wonder if PC Gamer will pick up on it.:hmm: I've seen other very good mods get coverage from gaming reviews.

NICE PICS! Im turning into a cathryine bell fan me thinks.

[P_Funk]

To quote the Terminator:
I love Women!

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Whatever the case. We gave some good people something good to look at... a little distraction in all the stress and mess.

We do what we do... for free... and are happy to share every ounce of it with the community when we've knocked it into shape... In so doing, we get to determine our own destiny... Right wrong or indifferent. We mean well.

Whether we are loved or hated... GWX will be remembered. Some flames and arrows will always come your way... simply because you stand there and will not move.

I want everyone to know this too... We had hoped to release GWX two months ago... but we encountered problem after problem... from stone walls in the code... unexpected CTD's, PC hardware breakdowns, theft, and real life illnesses and emergencies.

More than once we had to stop and say, "What were we thinking?"

We never meant to drag things out... It just happens that way with something this big. It RUNS and then it crawls... It RUNS and then it crawls.

Its a good thing in some ways that we are so stubborn... or we'd have made ourselves into the biggest laughing stock at Subsim and have no credibility.

We HATE it as much as you do that you've had to wait so long.

Barring any last-minute disasters... I am uploading the Beta for emplacement into the installer this weekend. After the GWX team has a couple of days to download it... I will open the doors to those I've invited to the beta session. The latter will occur Tuesday or Wednesday... again barring any unforseen problems.

To all who have offered their support and encouragement in public and in private.

Thank you from the entire GWX dev team. You rock! :rock: :rock: :rock:

[P_Funk]

I can't think of a better example of online community than this.

Hands down best Board I've ever posted on.

To Lehmann and the rest of the GW team, you guys are brilliant and dedicated members of this community and I salute all your hard work for our enjoyment.

Cheers. http://www.moncton.net/emoticons/cheers.gif

I think your credibility was sealed in the release for GW:up:

I found a quote that makes a certain sense with GWX:

People forget how fast you did a job - but they remember how well you did it.

"It is better to live a short and meaningful life... than a long and miserable one."

Damn.... I remember when Kpt started making mods to SHIII. IIRC, he was making them ALOT. Almost everyday he had some new mod released. Then one day (IIRC) he asked what he should do, continue or quit. Modding takes time away from him. I remember quoting that phrase to him as I replied. Heck... it feels like eternity, yet it´s only 1½ years from that.

I tried to find that topic one day but didnt find it. Kudos to you sir, it´s been a long walk and look what you are now. The project manager of one of the most anticipated mods released for SHIII. :up:

Seems sorting out the priorities can pose a real problem. Don't let the girls hear that ;)

[mr chris]

I just have to add that .. yup, im getting impatient too. Im a bit tired of playing a game where i know how everything works. This is one of the biggest traps of modding your own game. YOU KNOW what to expect, where to expect it, and what you can get away with. With GWX, i dont really know too much on what to expect.


As an aside, i think there should be GWX gaming league similar to WaW. Not as much fun bragging about tonnage (something i never do :roll:) when everyones not on the same page :D

Hey Ducimus
If you are intrested in GWX gaming league?
Check this thread as this something we are trying to sort out. Any imput/help on this would be great.

Not the worst way to pass time. :up: Cant wait for that game myself. (PS: Two - yes two - guys in Sweden are allready playing it, thanks to some mess up in a online store there :rotfl:)

What is M: II TW?

It's Medeval II Total War. A brilliant game that comes out on the 10th of November (in the UK at least)

[Dowly]

It seems as if this thread has run aground.:arrgh!:
NAH!!! Just wait for Kpt. Lehmann to come and announce that GWX Beta is now open to everyone :D

I can't wait! One more week!
As far as I last checked, the beta is closed. So, for you it´s 1 week, for the others it´s 1 week + 30 days. Lucky you. ;)
I know! :smug:

That's the reason I posted. I know Beta will remain open to GWX development team and beta testers! Then 1 month till it's released to the greater public (this is OK to tell, right? The Kpt. won't have me head for this? :dead:)

No, it´s ok to tell that. Kpt. has already announced that there will be 30 day beta testing period, so you gave up nothing new basically. :up:

[Safe-Keeper]

Bah, who needs knights beating each others up when you have the Grey Wolves Expansion?

OK, good to know. I really can't wait for it to open :rock:

As for Medieval Total War II, I always like the series, but never got around plying one. I remember I wated to buy Shogun Total War, but in those days you never knew :doh: The only TW game I ever played was Medieval I Demo. Oh and at my friends I tried the whole game, but just didn't get it. I'm more of a Warhammer Dawn of War kind of guy (DC :rock:)

[Safe-Keeper]

I loved Rome: Total War. But I really missed the naval combat, ironically enough (here I am at a naval combat forum, after all;)).

What I'm looking forward to learning is how much Norwegian stuff there will be, and how much of the included content I will need to work on (somebody had to completely rewamp Kampfgruppe 5's invasion of Oslo, for example;)).

If you like Medeval TW then you should try the more 'ancient' version of it. Rome Total War (I think the name speaks for itself;) ). There is especially a free mod out there called Rome Total Realism (RTR 6.2) that transforms the game. The level of transformation is (I'm telling my opinion here but I think most people agree) greater than GW and stock SH3:up: . If you like these sort of games it's brilliant.

Obviously now that GWX is comming out I'll hide the swords and look for my spare binoculars:D :D

[stabiz]

I am really excited to see if new sounds have been implemented in GWX. Sounds are porn!

[Syxx_Killer]

I'm sure MII TW will be good, but for me, I like the time period of RTW better. I haven't played it for a while, but one mod for it that I think sounds really intersting is Blue Lotus. It sounds really interesting. It is a totally fictitious mod.

O.o

There's abolsutely nothing wrong with the word porn. It's obviously not a restricted word since it wasn't splatted out as words such as **** or **** or *************************** would be.

Now, actually posting a picture of a goat and a young maiden in compromising positions might be against a rule or three, but the word isn't. ;)

:hmm: GWX / TW series

Gee....are we going a bit to another game here?
I have played all the TW series since Shogun(I,m going reinstall it soon to go back to the old days)

but at this moment I,m in my genre of games (WW2) and the submarines really get a hang of me at the moment. and thx to the GW Dev Team I enjoy it even more these days.:up:

Medieval II Total War will be released on Friday November 10th, 2006. So two lads in my own country is playing the game.....and they wont give it to me?????

Bastards....:shifty:

I should also point out that if you liked R:TW then you will LOVE M:II TW cause it's basically the same engine...but better....

And oh, talk about timing. My new,fresh,and extremely competent gaming computer which we have ordered will arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday....I think a cold is kreeping up from behind....better tell the school I'll be home and...."fighting" the decease.

From memory, I think the beta testers will only be able to talk about their positive experience with GWX. I'll assume that the Kpt & Dev team won't want all the 'secrets' given away before the 'general public' has a chance to discover them for themselves.

Ummm right... sort of... We want a chance to address negative issues before testers come here to talk about it as if it were a problem... when the whole point is to take GWX for a shake-down cruise.

Certain things that we don't want to show everybody... we will list in the tester forum.

At the moment I am tracking a new CTD generated by recent changes to the GWX files. I do not expect that this should take more than 24 hours to fix.

You can always edit it after installation. Shouldn't be too hard. Except, of course, GWX files seem to be heavily inter-dependant, so that editing one might have harmful effects on other files.

I was inder the impression you could simply install the GW mod to the JSGME 'mods' folder and 'install' it that way using the mod enabler... :-?

You can with GW1.1A. Apparently with GWX, you will not be able to. I must say, JSGME is a great little utility, which makes mod activation/deactivation a breeze. I will definitely miss useing it.

Just a thought here: If I deactivate all my mods, includeing GW1.1A via the JSGME, then I should actually end up with the stock version of SH3 correct? Do you think it would be "safe" to install GWX over this, or should I do a comlplete uninstall/reinstall of the game?

You will still be able to use JGSME over the top of GWX.

When GWX is released it should be installed onto a brand new installation of SH3 patched to 1.4b. Our installer will perform several checks to verify that this is the case when you use it. If GWX is not installed over a brand new installation of SH3 patched to 1.4b... it will fail to install and will alert the user.

As usual, the Cosmos conspired to slow things down a bit. Tonight (U.S. Central time) I upload the beta for emplacement into the auto-installer. When that is completed it will be re-uploaded for everybody.

I hope you understand too that I need to give the dev team a couple of days to grab it first so that we are all on the same page when the testing starts.

This last set of problems took about four days total to resolve... which translated into four more days of delay.

Uuugh.. I feel like I haven't slept in two weeks!

Feel free to throw eggs and tomatoes at me again.

Its all okay... because its almost testin' time!!! :smug: :smug: :smug:

Seriously though... I hate it every second that you guys don't have the beta... Time is data!

Hats off to the GWX dev teamers though. Sleep has been scarce for most of them these days. Every last one of them is a wolfpack of total awesomeness!!!

Excellent job Kpt. Lehmann.

When will be get our "special" forum acess. I'm sure the devs will post before the Beta Testers and we'd all like to know what we're getting into!

I second that! Hehe, even almost playing it would help my thirst.

Working as fast as I can mates... much going on... triple checking all... will be at it all night again. Compression and initial upload for installer entry should happen over the next 12 hours or so.

Working as fast as I can mates... much going on... triple checking all... will be at it all night again. Compression and initial upload for installer entry should happen over the next 12 hours or so.

Hang in there.

I'll sort out tester forum access over the next couple-three days... hope to have everyone able to post there by this weekend.

...back to the control room with me now.
I think...... Im...... hyperventlating! :yep:

Just a thought here: If I deactivate all my mods, includeing GW1.1A via the JSGME, then I should actually end up with the stock version of SH3 correct? Do you think it would be "safe" to install GWX over this, or should I do a comlplete uninstall/reinstall of the game?
The installer doesn't care how the installation becomes "clean and unmodified". If rolling back SH3Cmdr or disabling mods via JSGME achieves this, then as long as the installation folder passes the installer verification, it doesn't matter.

If verification fails, then the installer has done its job by alerting you *before* you tried to sail to sea. I know I'd rather get an error message when installing GWX than after waiting 5+ minutes for a patrol to load only to then be greeted by my desktop because of some random CTD...

Now having said this, we strongly recommend that players install GWX over a brand new, fresh and patched installation. This way players can be assured of no "leftover" modded files and hence will be providing the most stable platform in which to overlay GWX.

And let's be frank here - it's all about getting GWX to play.

Don't get me wrong, I like JSGME - it was obviously developed by a wonderful, talented and seemingly handsome guy, but using it WILL NOT GET GWX INSTALLED TO A PLAYABLE LEVEL. GWX just makes too many changes to SH3 which even JSGME can't cater for - to support enabling GWX via JSGME would mean manual post-installer installation instructions, which will simply equate to player frustration followed by the inevitable "GWX sux" or "GWX doesn't work" threads. No thanks!

[kylania]

"GWX sux" or "GWX doesn't work" threads. No thanks!

I keep clicking my GWX icon and it doesn't work!! GWX sucks!!

Some stupid error about "This mod hasn't even been released yet, it's not even installed, why do you keep clicking me? why is this shortcut even here!?" nonsense! :nope:

[studebaker]

Looking good guys, keep up the good work.

MMM... Do you know this guy or something ?!:rotfl:

[Pants]

Well guys..good luck i'm outta here, time to say goodbye to subsim.Can't stand the idiotic Behaviour of a certain moderator. A fellow GW Dev team member has been banned for............ Wait for it..........Removing his own posts of all things.:down:
I have put up with some Sh1t on these forums but sorry this is wayyyy to much.
They are his posts if he wants to delete said posts why fooking ban him for it?
You sir are power craized idiot who could not moderate his way out of a wet paper bag with sharp knife.

[danlisa]

I wish you the best of luck Pants.:cry:

This is getting a 'little' out of hand.
:nope: :nope: :nope:

Is this Gibs who has been banned? He's only just got out.

[Gizzmoe]

A fellow GW Dev team member has been banned for............ Wait for it..........Removing his own posts of all things.:down:
Not banned, only temporarily suspended. It´s not normal that someone decides to edit or delete a hundred of his posts, I see it as an act of sabotage. If Neal decides that Cdre Gibs´ behaviour was acceptable his suspension will be lifted. By the way, Kpt. Lehmann said that he "tried like hell to talk him out of this direction he has chosen".

[Dowly]

@Gizzmoe, in your PM to Gibs, you only stated that he is suspended from posting. There was no mention of anything else.

[Pants]

They are his posts. Has he deleted anyone elses posts? no!
He typed them, if wanted to he could just edit said posts to say *deleted" and take up page room, he did'nt want to do that so he opted to delete the posts.
So why suspend him for going something to his OWN posts? THAT is what i cannot understand,
"I see it as an act of sabotage" Why? they are his OWN posts if he wants to delete said posts why should'nt he?

[Gizzmoe]

@Gizzmoe, in your PM to Gibs, you only stated that he is suspended from posting. There was no mention of anything else.

That´s an old post that has nothing to do with the current situation.

He´s suspension ended on 5th of November, now it was continued to last to 11th of November - reason: "Account locked and under review. You´ve deleted or edited about a hundred of your posts."

[Gizzmoe]

"I see it as an act of sabotage" Why? they are his OWN posts if he wants to delete said posts why should'nt he?
It´s destructive behaviour, it breaks a lot of threads. If I hadn´t stopped him he would´ve deleted even more than 100. Like I said, if Neal disagrees with me the suspension will be lifted and he can come back in a few hours.

[Pants]

Sorry Giz you are wrong.

You have been banned for the following reason:
Account locked and under review. You´ve deleted or edited about a hundred of your posts. I will discuss this with Neal, he´ll decide if that is acceptable behaviour or not. - Gizzmoe

Date the ban will be lifted: 11-13-2006, 06:00 PM

If it is NOT and ban why does it say BANNED?

[Dowly]

@Gizzmoe, in your PM to Gibs, you only stated that he is suspended from posting. There was no mention of anything else.

That was taken from the PM where you gave him the first suspension that ended on 5th of November.

[Kpt. Lehmann]

I consider Cdre Gibs to be a friend.

He and I have not agreed on all things ourselves.

I will not help anyone hang him... nor will I stand in the middle of any conflict between Subsim administration or moderatorship and Cdre Gibs.

I have been able to hear the discussions on both sides of the table... and do not fully agree with either.

I would appreciate it if you gentlemen would take this conversation to another thread.

[Gizzmoe]

I would appreciate it if you gentlemen would take this conversation to another thread.

Ok.

Guys, please send me a PM if you have any more questions.

[stabiz]

Lehman, you just gave me a light brain disorder. My heart cant take it when I see a post from you in the lobby, and its not beta news.

Stabiz, considering getting some professional help.

[fredbass]

Well I guess it's time to move my current game to another location on my harddrive tonight. Hope I don't screw it up.

GWX GWX GWX GWX :up:

Go Kpt Go :sunny:

[Onkel Neal]

Pants, and all who think the moderator is at fault,

What kind of forum would you like to have here? One where people constantly troll, snipe, insult and fight with each other? Because without Gizzmoe and the other moderators trying to address these issues, that's the kind of forum this place would be. When someone trolls GW or Kpt Lehmann, how many of you would like Gizz to look the other way? When some people trolled GW recently, you know who was the first person to contact me and mention it? Gizz.

If Gibbs no longer wishes to participate in discussions here, that's his perogative. I'll remove his account. Any posts he has not already screwed up will be left intact. He's not the only person who uses the forum. When a thread involves dozens of people discussing a subject, it really handicaps people reading the thread later when there are gaps in the discussion. It's really hard to understand why a grown man would sit at a keyboard and spend the time to delete his posts, because he has been suspended for a few days. It's too bad there isn't a maturity filter in the forum registration process.

[mr chris]

Why not let Gibs back to give his side of the story. Im sure he had reason for doing what he did. Lets at least here his side of the argument.
Well thats my view anyway.

@Kpt
Sorry for posting this here but i did not find another thread that cattered for this post. And due to Neals post above i belive this post to be made in the right place. But rest ashured this is my last non GWX post in this thread:yep:
I like the people who posted below am looking forward to beta testing time. ;)

[Respenus]

I don't want to be sure, as I'm sure Gibs made good contributions, but as someone posted before, this is the GWX thread. I know I'm the last person to say this, as I helped it go in the opposite dirrection (we all know why :oops:), but serious things like that should be deal in another thread or over PM's.

Now can someone explain to me what "trolling" is?

[fredbass]

Like Kpt said, I suggest anyone else who has something to say about this non GWX issue to please do it somewhere else, thanks.

[The Munster]

And here's my tuppenth worth .. you may or may not have noticed that there are some people on this Forum (myself included) are waiting patiently for the Beta-Test. We are getting a 'progress report' by visiting this thread.
The other 'stuff' belongs somewhere else. If a person feels so strongly about the other issue or issues then I suggest they use their initiative and start a thread in the appropriate place.

[Dowly]

Beta testers. Take your socks off. When you see a destroyer, you can kiss your socks goodbye as they will be blown away!

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Everyone needs to cool their heels and breathe a bit I think.

I will post a status report on a new thread in a bit.

This thread is just too mangled to rescue again.

Hmmmmmm Beta. Come here Beta, im gonna eat ya!

Get in mah belly!

[P_Funk]

I think this thread is cursed.:x

[Ducimus]

Ok so maybe that wasnt the best attempt to lighten things up a bit. Hey , i tried.

[P_Funk]

Oh I meant everthing leading up to your last post!:up: It's just a bit too late I guess.

[Onkel Neal]

Yeah, agreed.

Why don't we latch this thread down and start a new one when you see fit?
