Small Anoucement

Hello guys!

This is not a return but a simple anoucement,
I will not participate in any Thread arguments,
and will only come here periodicly as I understand
this place are not the one to be blamed for what took
me out for a time, so the fault isn't from SS but from
some users that I left a time ago...

I decided to return in small atempts and incursions,
to check how things are and to post mi own mods!

Also I do believe that here ther are people that deserve
more Modings then words, Thought I will participate in modding
I will not participate in any kind of argument or posts that can mean
possible word agresions...

I do care About modding and the SS, and GWX,
Cause for me it was them that lauched me into
this modding " Carreer "!

See you all soon!

Now here it goes guys,
improved the Intro screen as you can check on the
first post of this thread, decided to just don't add the SHIII logo

intensive fog athmosphere and it will be the Official U-Boat 1.2 intro !:up:

Been during the all weeck in contact with most of the
major Modders to include and get the permisions for
merging the top modification Mod on the 1.2 version,
and got most of the replys, thought I want this next release
of the U-boat Mod to SHIII stock to have it's own campaigne
files if possible ...

I am looking for someone that knows how to do that
if I don't learn how to in the mean time!


Advance a lot on the graphics but yet there is a lot to be
acomplished and to do....:up:

Still under dev, but you can have a look into it in the first
post of this thread.....


I know I said I would post any more screens.........:shifty: ....but I couldn't
resist showing you guys this one, their are 2 of them, and both are still

Situation report on Dev!



Almost acomplished the contacts with most Mod creator that
I want to include their work on this next version, however ther
is 2 that I can not reach in any mean that I've got available...

Next weeck I'll just try and send some more PM and E-mails so
that permisions are granted to the work I want included in the
Mod, so that things are done in the Best way....

Been reworking the Startcampaigne screen and some other
graphics like the, barracks background and the radio message
screen, among others....

Navigation Map Wil have a completly new and made from scratch
sliding Docs, as well as the layer that I'll will make a new also specialy
for this mod...

Been gathering as well a certain number of optional Mods that will
be included as optional stuff so that the players and all will have
the chance of hading stuff their own taste and flavours!:lol:

Reece last works on the sky and sea colors will be added into the mod
and most of the original U-boat will remaine intact just some changes
that I am looking to change mostly for SHIII stock U-boat version,
that is the campigne files, I do want and will give it A TRY to see if
I can change it myself, if not I will probably leave it as it is or ask
some master campaigne Modder help on that , thought is not a priorety,
as I understand ther are very good campaigne historic aproaches with quality
that I can include if wanted!


So as is see ther is a lot of work ahead yet mates!
Keep on track brothers!:up:

Hello guys!


Bref Dev Report on the main campaigne screen!


The final version is now done as you can see at the
First post of this thread!

Been working on it for 3 days, and really I am very happy with
the final graphic look!

This will be the main campaigne screen and the official version
for the U-Boat 1.2 !

Now it's a question of merging files and get into the rest of the
graphics that I'm redoing them , all of my previouse work will be
made new and from scratch as I want this version to have the
best graphics from me until the date!

Their will be however new ones that I'll keep as a surprise so that
some impact would hit you at the minute you play the Mod!

From now, I will keep my info on the Dev. just on reports and no more
images untill I begin to really test the Mod myself...

This way it will not ruine the fun and the impact on you guys!

Have fun my friends!:up:
And keep on track!:yep:

Dev. Update Reporte


Hello everyone,
This last weeck been working on the Mods graphics,
And also correcting the Mod file structure as it had
some written flaws that could cause some problems
during install, also I have been reviewing all the file
strocture from the optional mods and getting the last
final Permisions via PM with the new mods that I want
to include into this 1.2 version...
Got the permisions and still need a last one that
it seems unreachable for quit some time now, however
since I'm still working in the graphics dev, I will go on with the
Pm and possibly E-mail if found to garanty the permision
for the last wanted Mod....

Work is on the table, and Slow to achieve the
better job in this Mod, graphics take long to do, but I'm
very glad and satisfied with the final results...

Get in the Spot guys !

See you soon:up:

I know your very busy, and you are certainly a great artist, but these screenies are fantastic, certainly hint at the quality of your mod to come. One question, the graphics here represented seem very similar to SH4, have you made a breakthrough or found a way to bring SH4 graphics to SH3. Please forgive me if this has already been asked, or if I sound stupid and it is definatly meant as a complement .U-Boat V 1.2

Hello guys!

This is not a return but a simple anoucement,
I will not participate in any Thread arguments,
and will only come here periodicly as I understand

possible word agresions...

I do care About modding and the SS, and GWX,
Cause for me it was them that lauched me into
this modding " Carreer "!

See you all soon!


Atention

The release of this mod is pending on the release of
GWX 1.4, the reazon is in fact simple...

... due to the new version of GWX 1.4 the graphics and
Tools & Dials mods will be updated to the new GWX cause
of any possible CFG or Menu-ini changes that GWX team
can make on the files apon the 1.4 release!

JCWolf
09-07-07, 06:09 AM
There are some stuff from
SH4 but the Work you see is made by me mate...

The Only breakthrough acomplished untill the date
on the transfer of graphics are the ones made by Reece
concerning the Sea and sky textures and Env files!

Those ones are included, thought I reworked some stuff to get what I want
the graphics is my Dev....:rock: :yep:


Soon I will make a Dev. Update on this thread!

Update of the ships added on the Mod!



Permissions!



I have been trying for a week now to get
the origin of certain ships that I've downloaded
in order to get the respective Permissions from the
original creators, since the ship files come without any
sort of info or install or read me files it has been
impossible until the date to get the contacts and
Permissions from those ships...


However I will try for some more time to track down
the files origin if that shows unresolved at the release date
of this mod I will add a special note explaining the
steps taken and the files in question...


Since this Mod is in great part a mod compilation I
will try to get every single permission to the mods
added and unless its impossible that will be my
policy and attitude..



List of ships included until the date on U-Boat 1.2!




Improved Empire Freighter
KÜMO und Chemiefrachter
Coal and bulker Ships
NECT_Hansa ( German Tanker )
NKLSS_Hansa ( DDG-Hansa Freighter / Hapag Freighter )
NKMCS_Hansa ( Combined DDG-Hansa Freighter / Hapag Freighter )
NKMSS_Hansa ( Medium DDG-Hansa Freighter / Hapag Freighter )
NORTH CAROLINA
SH3_USS_Cleveland
USS BROOKLYN
USS New Mexico
HMS_Norfolk
DD_Cutter_V1.1
HMS_Cumberland
HMS_Devonshire
HMS_Suffolk
Sailing Fishboat01
Thanks for your Support and soon will come another upadate on this
Mods Dev!

This is basicly to improve the SHIII 1.4b players gameplay and also
to be a Addon for GWX 1.04, so there is a lot done and still a lot to be
done, what I can secure now is a better Mod then the 1.1 version and
a much more complete one!

So keep with me Captains!

by someone who haves skills using Fraps,
and video editing tools, or any other way
for capture a SHIII video with some basic
imput from me of what exactely I want!


the cadidate should post here quoting this
post of mine, and from my part will me named

hello everyone,

Posting this to ask on this community,
if ther is someone intresst. in working
on a Video file for the U-Boat 1.2 Mod,

the idea is simple and can be acomplished
by someone who haves skills using Fraps,
and video editing tools, or any other way
for capture a SHIII video with some basic
imput from me of what exactely I want!


the cadidate should post here quoting this
post of mine, and from my part will me named
on the Mods final Pdf reademe file as the creator
of the intro movie !

thanks guys!:up:
Hi JC i would like to put my name forward. But i only have a couple of days till i go away with work for 6 to 8 weeks. If thats enough time for what you have in mind.:up:

P.S if you want the best guy of the job though you could do no more than ask say Stabiz or Mr Fleck. Both are superb when it comes to videos.

To Keep you guys On the Target


Teaser (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=617835&postcount=1)


Developement News

Roster and Sea Folders are geting finished
List of ships will be a great adition that U-Boat
1.2 will bring to the game, Some of the best
ships made are allready included, sad I have no
idea on how to add them into the campaigne files
so the way they are they will pop up inside counvoys or
you will find them in the midle of the ocean crossing
your route, but anyway its a great adition as you
will have lots of new targets!

Graphics are hoing slowly , its hard work and I want
them to be just awesomly great, I have great stuff allready
done and some of them allready tested, Like barracks screen,
Officer Icons, Options screen and realisme menu,
and lots of others!

Included Mods have progressed significantly, and mods like
Racerboy's stuff are my primary target and Option as I
think they improve a lot the visual Parte of the game,
The idea is reached and U-Boat 1.2 mod is starting to
get shape and form!

The idea is to give you guys the best Mod pack and the
best from me untill the date, so stay on the channel and be pacient
as it will be worth it!

Thanks

Sounds great jcw, but if I got thigs right, we have:
- racerboys comprehensive mod... that is "must have", even in further development
- your mod that brings new objects, visuals, interface...etc.
- GWX team that is polishing brend new 1.04 supermod
- some other silent individual artists...

The only possible conclusion is: we are going to face a many nice improvements by the Christmas... but with a hell of mess, with dozens of files "overwriting" one another and total installation confusion among common players and less experienced users.

Do you "gurus" have any communication betwen projects, ...any chances of some "all inclusive readme guide" ?

I understand your words and worries,
But it is not that messy if you read carefully
the Mods Readme files...

Points and Arrows!

- GWX 1.04 is a update and brings new content into the 1.03 version...
- U-boat Mod is an Addon for GWX and For SHIII 1.4b that brings all the
mods you have latest seen released ( Yes Racerboy's two) and its
a Mod compilation toghether with new mods from me...

- Both of this mod sbring a lot of content also as Optional mods, as far
as for the U-boat Mod I have a huge Optional mods folder that goes attached
with the original Mod so that you have more optional goodies...

- The only Super Mod builded from scratch is GWX, mine is part a mod
compilation of the finest around the Community and loads of new
graphics and other Mods made by me...

So having a mod or other or both its just a question of taste and preferences !

Adriatico
09-19-07, 02:40 AM
Hmm, ...Within the main download file: optional few "sub-installation" (with readme-explained options) could be a soulution...even more, some agreed standard among moders with "interchangeble" files

Jimbuna
09-19-07, 07:45 AM
Hmm....in an ideal world you make some good points. However, every modder or sets of modders have different ideas and envisaged outcomes.
Often the means used to mod something are very different.
A good example would be the differences between NYGM and GWX. Two sets of people with similar hopes and aspirations ie: the improvement of SH3, but with differing views on how to achieve that goal.
I think it's good that there is a wide and diverse choice out there for people to choose from.
After all, they do say 'variety is the spice of life' ;)

Betweens us you and I, by my calulation we can count the amount of hours spent sleeping this week :dead: It's amazing when you become a modder for a game in our case the SH3 game you can spend alot of hours releasing a mod to the forum and in most case get little feedback. I not saying everytime you release a mod or in your case JCW the above mention logo clip that everyone should praise you like a demi god (does sound good though), I just wonder if most members really understand just how much modding can suck your soul from you. The longest part for me is loading the game to check the mod you have created, you then see a fault, you then leave the game, bust your arse to retify the fault (thats the killer) reload the game to see if what you have fixed is correct, in most cases its not, then you see another fault and so on, meanwhile you have a real life to live ie; work, family, sleeping :dead: (theres that word again).

When I saw your clip I thought oh dear, that would have taken some life hours....and I was right. Lets just hope someone dosent PM you and ask if you can make a logo clip for them, now wheres that PM button :doh:

Yea completly agree...

Just now add to go back with the Movie
to the backed up Animation I add from it
cause I saw a Speling error , caused by typing
insted writing Presents I have wrote Pressents
so had to edit that part again and got the chance of
tweacking it in the final also and in the final sound ...
so when gone another hour...:roll:

But Know its perfect...:arrgh!:

09-20-07, 12:58 PM
Venatore,
from my "limited" modding experience, in various sims, I agree with your point that 98% of community is ignorant towards "sleepless" hours and nights (familyless...) devoted to "tweak-load-try" countless polishing attempts...

But this particular example is wrong one; Logo is personal presentation, no matter how artistic it is , no matter is it mine, yours, JCW's or even Ubisoft one !

Logo is, more or less, personal presentation, even "masterpiece" like this one... but community is looking for a content itself, so please, be patient... and expect some reliable feed-back when first of final downloads start to boil within "community"...

JC Wolf this is truly awesome work :eek:........ BUT............
You say you need sleep?.:stare:
What foolishness is this to want 'sleep'?.:mad:
Real men, UBoat Kaleuns all, real roughty toughty submariners are out there at sea craving sleep but not getting any, too many 'ALAAAAARMS' and convoys to intercept.:mad:
To require 'sleep' whilst fellow Kameraden are out there in the thick of it is defeatist!:stare:
Why should you be priviliged to recieve sleep....... come on man answer!.
You cant can you........ so back to the modding boards, sharpen the pencil, drink the coffee and get on with it, we expect results imminently!.:rock:

Right, I'm off for a good 8hrs kip, mods should be released pretty soon now after that telling off and I can d/l tomorrow and give them a go fully refreshed....... :smug: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I was looking for a Official graphic that will
go with the mod and made this one that is
the new Main menu, the previouse will be as opcional!

The mod I'm working on, I have to fully exit and reload the game to test, can't just reload the mission. :damn:

News on the Pages related:

Been working on the menu ini changes to achieve
some alterations on the Profile meno text position and
make it fit into the Letter!
Also changing some color that due to the Screen graphic
changes just add to be a diferent color in order to be visible!


Question for anyone who might give me some info!

In this menu ini entrance example:

[G62 I2]
Type=1029;Static text
ItemID=0x62000014
ParentID=0x62000000
Pos=1024,50,0,32

So this will just install right over the latest version of GWX and SH3 Commander?

Hope you don't mind if I elaborate on this JC :)

Yes JCWolf and I have talked about this for a while now.

This mod (U-boat 1.2) is the main reason I am looking forward to GWX 1.04! And at first it will not be compatible with my GUI :-? so we will be combining U-boat 1.2 with my GUI to make a new mod and then release that. :up: Of course the two mods will still be available seperately if desired.

Also the attack disc will hopefully be included in that version of the GUI (depends on third party who I won't name here) so people will be able to download U-boat 1.2, with my GUI with all of joegrundmans U-Jagd tools in it, in a single combined mod! :rock:

I guess we will post a WIP thread at some point... if anyone has questions, save them for that thread don't hijack this one :)

And while I am here I want say: keep up the brilliant work JC! :D

Refering the part in Blue above :

Everything its ok so far by me, escept the part of making the u-boat version for
your mod or with it, I have another idea that I will expplain to you in the following
day OLC !:yep:

I would however say to you that we will for sure make a version more like my Tools

If you let me give you an advice, I would say that the background colour behind the nationality-category-class-version-info has to be darkened a bit, because the white font looks nice but the orange one is a bit illegible. :88)

The original Museum main screen
was changed again, I think for the

it was missing ambience , so remaked it from
scratch one more time and this is the final
and definitive result !

The secound screen the menu is still dev and retouching

Report Graphic Dev

As you can check from the screen above and compare with
the previouse one on the previouse dev report you can now see
the Fonts on the chalkboard changed and also in color , due
to the background beeing black the Arrows from the scroll section
on the right of the board text can only be fixed on 2 color
( Moust have something to do with the Arrow graphic or its
Hard coded ) those to colors are Orange the original color or black
I have changed it to black as its still visible this way and doesn't
go out of the graphic context as the orange color !

The delete and load bottons bellow were changed in color so
that go on with the all graphic ambience !

now its time to elaborate a litle more the all Loadinmission Tga

This is the prototype of the Crew compartement and Barracs Officer
Icons for the U-Boat 1.2, still developing and this are the first ones
since I had being making the Uniforms and Officer heads !

Everything takes time to do, the heads take aprox. 1 hour each to do
and a jacket around the same, the hat is a Kriegsmarine hat that I had
allready made before, still I am not happy with it and will remake it...

I still have to do 10 more diferente heads and some more uniforme variations
but this is going to be defenitive the Icons on the U-Boat 1.2 Mod...

There are a lot to do yet so I am leaving here a small teaser from
the first Officers and partes done !


More Dev Updates to come !:yep: :up:

Incredible, just incredible. Ever thought of putting together a tutorial? No, I'm not trying to create some way of developing some competition...couldn't be done...just thinking of the synergy that could be produced if lots of people were working in synch with you and all of you were bouncing the creativity ball back and forth. The mind boggles....whatever boggle means.

dev reporte

As you can see in the screenshots above
I have now started the Pety Off. and Seaman icons
Dev , Allreadt done this icons for the Personal information
of them bellow right , but its rather dificult to creat such a small
graphic for the boat compartements without losing graphic
quality, and I don't want that !:yep: :up:

Made a cople of tests allready and the image looses quality
on both tests and is rather out of focus...

I will advance for another Graphic and will be testing
some new ones for this to see if I can include this also
on the Mod if not I will release the mod with the original
Boat compartement crew graphic only !:hmm:


More dev to come !:hmm:

There has to be an award system in this forum (Subsim) for members who contribute so much, I'm not sure what the award system should be or how you would come about giving an award to someone (fairness), but I will say, if I was in a position to do so, I would call JCW's commanding officer, tell him to put JCW onto a train and send him to Berlin to have dinner with me so I could award him the

The new officer faces are simply perfect :up: Ever since the game came out, I had been waiting for such a set of faces to be available, as I didn't like 100% neither the icons with in-game shots of officers, stations or of course the horrible stock icons. I'm looking forward for this mod to be available :yep: Great job JCwofl :rock:

Well done JCW. :yep:

I am a guy that never gives up, and been working on the
Boat compartements crew icons...
So far didn't found what i whant in terms of quality of
graphic and image, but made a gew discoverys that can benefit
the future dev on those litlle fellows !

With the GWX folks announcing a their release is actually going to be a complete make-over, does that put you behind? Or were you lucky enough to 'forsee' this and make your 1.2 compatible?

Yep it will be compat.

If it takes a bit more to acomplish that it will but it will be compat.

Anyway the changes are not that big, since 90% of those changes
are graphic improvements !:yep: :up:

Anything that JCWolf makes (SHIII mod wise) has always been compatible with GWX and SH3 commander. A modder should always identify the compatibility of his/her mod work with either the stock clean version, GWX, NYGM or WAC and any other large scale mods and utlities like SH3 commander. This information should be contained in the attached documentation (“readme” file).

JCWolf
12-02-07, 06:50 AM

Hello everyone,
mean wile the Stock Alpha is still on tests,
I have been trying and working on this litlle guys
on the barracs compartement !

So far the same happends,
I don't reach the graphic I want !"

Here is a screenshot of how they look !

I'm in a cross road with this guys,
and they are starting to get on mi nervs !

Now I got a better color quality and
the graphic still looses a lot of quality
apon the resizing...

However I manage to creat a new
empty slot look as you can see on the image...

Maybe I try a new stile now and make it
the same look as the crew over SH IV...?!

What do you guys think ??:hmm:

Alex
12-08-07, 08:46 AM
To be honest, I think the colour of their pants catch the attention a little too much. :oops: http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/812/sgrossmilegw4.gif

Make it a bit darker, maybe.
Just my 2 cents ! ;)

JCWolf
12-08-07, 06:52 PM
This was a test Alex,
I just wanted to see the unfiformes contrasts against the
dark slot compartements...

It's possible to do a #D soldier that big,
but when you add it into the game it looses graphic
quality...

i will go ahead with one more idsea I have for this
improvement and if it doesn't get were I want
I will just leave the Bloody Hants were they are !:lol:

Alex
12-08-07, 08:34 PM

Understood, JC !! ;)
Well, besides this very little detail, I think that you've done no less than the best. I don't find anything to improve any more, even the new empty slot looks nice :huh:... And trust me, cause the smallest detail can catch my attention very quickly... But here... Well :lol:... This screen itself is a true masterpiece.
I humbly bow to you and your knowledge, Sir ! ;)

Yep, I allready talked to OLC about it,
and decided to add his Mod, also will talk
joegrundman (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=232002) to include his work as Optional most probably!:yep: :up:

I find using the U-jagd tools indispensable now, when playing.:yep: I hope you' re still planning on including them as an option in U-Boat V 1.2. OLC is not working on his GUI at the moment, but joegrundman is, I understand, still working on version 1.3 of his work.

I love the work you' re doing on the barracks screen, even the 'bright' pants.;)

Still on Dev mate !

A lot to do now that GWX camed out on donation !

Have to fix a lot of stuff and make a lot of versions
for this Mod !


I can also info you guys that there will be a simple
version for Stock and GWX, with sdimple version I
mean one just with the changed Menus and some
small graphics, For GWX I have decided not to
include Mods that will change the GWX game play
or files that can effect negatily any game play with
GWX...

So mostly U-boat 1.2 will be a mod that will bring
new graphics and Ships as well...

I personaly think that there is a lot of hard work
over the GWX 2.0, for me to come and add new
files that most problably will ruin this game play,
so mi Mod will be a graphic content Mod...:hmm:

tylus
12-13-07, 07:30 AM
Well, not the answer I wished for, but it looks like a fantastic mod and your screenshots look flawless. If the mod is half as good as some of those screens and descriptions, I'll be playing Silent Hunter 3 deep into the night for months.

Thanks for the work and keep us posted. And if you need a beta tester...I'd be glad to help.;)

Some News...


With the latest outstanding work from The Grey Wolves
(GWX 2.0) instaled I have made cool and directed advances
over Mi Mod for GWX...

I even dare to say it turns even better with The GWX 2
it looks even more inmersive and realistic...

Made some changes, and still am doing them over some screens,
Altering some GWX main Graphic files to fit into the U-Boat 1.2,
from the sounds to the graphics and later will add some new ships
latest released from AOTD-Max, and some others...

I will make some tests with some of the SH4 shiping and see if they
work here, namely the US ships, also have made a complete set
of start menus, that will go with the Mod as optional installs,
recoverd the No-Tooltips Mod that will go also as optional for dose
who want more realisme, Remade a completly new Menu Master Loop
main music, that is outstanding , using as base a Music from SH 3,
Tested allready the all main U-Boat 1.2 and the result it's simply perfect !


There is a lot of work yet to acomplished,
But what I have allready is in mi prespective
Breath taking when combined with GWX Brilliante Mod !:up:
