Cela semble une bonne argumentation
Mais, je ne parle pas bien francaise

Edit:
You saw us noobs winning yesterday? ;-D

I voted yes. Of course it would be interesting, especially as a step toward bringing the Atlantic into SH4.

What do you have in mind to replace it with ?

The alternative would be, no submarine school. Just in addon devs style.

I told you I have all campaign files, included the harbour traffic.
Also almost all ships have textures.;)

How about the Wolves at War training missions? They are much more extensive and immersive. How about both sets:up:?

Yes, and I'm patiently waiting for you to release your excellent work.:up:

Wolves at War training missions <- What is this?


Yes, and I'm patiently waiting for you to release your excellent work.:up:

The Atlantic is the grey wolves' area, we got to wait;)

Others can do Atlantik
You have all files ready ?

Sure bring them over Xantrokoles

You dont know about W@W ?

Someone will post a link
I dont have one :oops:

They did an online campaign much like the AOTD clan do and wrote their own training missions
Good too

Thanks for this information:up:

But this won't be my job:-?
The Atlantic is a part to high for me too.
I think the Mediterranean and the Black Sea is a good playground for a single person.

I wasn't sure what the alternatives were until I read others' opinions. I have to parrot Dowly: Sure, why not?

:yep:. WAW online, i was meant to get back into that, just can't find the time.

Sorry guys, I should know better than to post a suggestion without the link to get the job done. I've uploaded the WaW Training Package (http://files.filefront.com/WaW+Training+Packagezip/;10815303;/fileinfo.html) to my Filefront page because it was quicker than bird-dogging it down on the World at War website.

These are SH3 scenarios. Adaptation would be necessary, I think, to use them in SH4, but I sure would appreciate it if someone did that! Yes I'd LOVE to see them in Operation Monsun, and I'd love to see them as a separate JSGME installable module as well! Go to it guys!

You might let the WaW people know what you're doing. They might add a SH4 option to their thing over there! So go for it and give the WaW guys some good buzz over here at Subsim.:()1:

There ! at least we'll be able to use that British sub from Alexandria or Malta :)

Okay, stock SH3 Naval School missions are converted and working.
Now the W@W Missions.
The converting costs a lot of time, so there won't be all missions.

RE your campaign files Xantrokoles
Are they split into years\sections ? or all together ?
Certainly easier to make changes when split

Until now they are unsplitted.
only:
-Mediterranean
----RND
----SCR
-Atlantic
----RND
----SCR
-all land untis

Splitting them is nesessary, but it is my last care. :-D



I am just unhappy with hardcoded things, which might will mak you problems, too.

-Upgradsystem
----No conning change possbile
----No Snorkel refitable
----No special honours like batteries, diesels and new subs

-on the map where your objective is displayed, you can't change the icons position

-after playing some days SH4 you won't see SH3 anymore

-SH3 gameplay features are blown up (renown system is not fitting)

-Crew is freezing in the Atlantic, especially near Narvik:D

-too fast crashdive times

PRO:
-endless submarines.( you could for example make a submarine configurated for every year.)
-endless flottillas (every U-Flotilla could be built)
-magnifique graphic

PS
BigBoyWooly, you changed your location ;-)
now it is real German, but boring...

:rotfl:

Hansolo pointed it out to me yesterday
I thought it was ok as was but obviously not

What do you mean on the map where your objective is displayed, you can't change the icons position

You can
New patrol objectives are needed for that

I have to thank Lurker for his help with that
elanaiba also had some very helpfull information

Unless you mean something else :hmm:

No no, this is clear for me:up:

I mean this:
http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/5388/sh42008062716085688fl0.jpg

Even though you change the map, the icon will be an corner position.
For an profissional Atlantik campaign unimagineable.

BTW

I think I found a much better way to represent SH4 in its Logo, cause I thought the stock logo does not fit.

Ah yes that icon
Got you now

Not looked at that but bugs me too

It's a long long way to... have an Atlantic campaign.
Not just copiing SH3 files.

bigboywooly
06-27-08, 09:26 AM
Yes
Lots to do
Still hard work never hurt no one
lol

We will a long time cooking thats for sure

ps like the Med campaign idea
Very nice :up:

Xantrokoles
06-27-08, 10:40 AM
You could change it manually...
But the game always loads the same file. Hardcoded.

Xantrokoles
06-27-08, 11:03 AM
An it should rewrite your savegames, that you can switch the tower and add a snort:up:

Imo the only idea. JSGME combined with SH Commander

No provision to change that pic Mikhayl
The menu ini isnt as friendly as SH3

A really great loading pic there! And on the conversions, make 'em work first. Then make 'em work perfect. Anything is better than not having them at all. Once people can use them, then optimize them. Great stuff!

It may not be as friendly, but lots of SH4 modders have changed the loading screen. I'm not sure if they've been able to move the text around.

Looking forward to firing up some of those WaW training missions in SH4. Thanks for working on this!:up:

The loading screen has nothing to do with the Sub School mission.
this one is from my bigger Mediterranean campaign pack.

That would even get me back in a little U-Boat. I did a Type II for one of the WaW training missions and had a lot of fun with it, even though I wasn't going anywhere in a hurry. I look forward to your Med Mod! The poor guy in your loading screen looks like he misses the cold waters of the Atlantik!:rotfl: It really communicates his discomfort well.

I guess you never had been in a room with a diesel that big;)
I read a book, were there was written, they had in the boat until 50°C (122°F)
This temperature was very criticaland the crews concentration blewed away.
So let this poor guy getting wet:D

Okay, thanks guys for voting.
So again a official announcement:

The stock, or better the newest GWX naval school mission wil be inlcuded in the Mediterranean mod. Also there will some of the great and complex WaW missions.
Lurker will surely get the missions too, that you have an alternative.

Sadly I have to announce, the Med campaign will not be compatible with Ops Monsun and RFB.

But proudly I can announce, that Mikhayl will probably help me working on the mod.
And for those who love his great IIB, there will be a Black Sea campaign too.
(Cruising through the Black Sea with an IXD2 won't be possible like in SH3;))

I wanted Mikhayl too convert his Schnellboot, but he won't have that because of the torpedoeject-animation.
I respect that and I won't convert it.
