The funny Red Triangle thread - RESTORED! (thanks Oleg)

[Onkel Neal]

Does anyone know how to find the red triangle thread, the one with the Das Boot screens and humorous captions? Was it in the SH3 or SH4 forum...here or the archives (http://www.subsim.com/phpBB_archive1/)? My Search Powers are failing me :/\\!!


Found it, restored: Little Red Triangle...... You Have GOT To Be Kidding Me.... (http://www.subsim.site/phpBB_archive1/viewtopic.php?t=27888&)



.

[Onkel Neal]

Holy hot damn, I found it!
http://www.subsim.com/phpBB_archive1/viewtopic.php?t=27888

But Oleg has removed his pictures :( Maybe it's in the Wayback Machine... or Oleg can dig them up... :()1:

[MarkShot]

Neal,

I believe the file is Umark.tga in \date\misc\. Just get a copy of the one used for GWX and you will be totally disoriented as you desire.

And what you doing peeking in the external view anyway? :)

[Sailor Steve]

Great! Now all you need to find is the Drebbel Trial Thread(s). Jim's been waiting since October to read them.:lol:

Eh? You got it wrong, I was looking for Oleg's Red Triangle pics... :/\\chop



He e-mailed me, he says he no longer has them :( I think that's worth a week in the Brig. :/\\!!

Anyone out there? Any really nutty guy who may have saved these on his hard drive? It's worth a Subsim cap to me.

:/\\k:Scroll halfway down the page for the first three and the next page for the next two.

I begged Oleg to check again and that guy is a backup maniac, he found them on an archive CD. All hail Croatia!

Good that they were found :D that thread was responsable for some of the best laughs I have ever had; would have been a pity to see it get lost.

Looking back at it I start to feel old....ahhhh those are memories of other times, wow :up:

...and if you had played SH2 and discussed to death abouthow to get rid of it, if you had lived the atmosphere at subsim.com back then when SH3 was in development and we all were so sick and frustrated about SH2, you would laugh even more when seeing what Oleg, in a masterpiece of humour sense, created. Man I still start laughing just by thinking of it....here I go again: :rotfl:

[GoldenRivet]

Lord knows i have done plenty of tours of duty with SH2! :lol:

i only wish i had known about subsim back then.

I was getting bored one night with my SH3 experience and googled "Mods for Silent Hunter 3"

bam... there was subsim first on the list and i havnt looked back! :up:

[IanC]

How can any self-respecting subsimmer not know about the Red Triangle! :nope:
I looooved it with SHII :/\\k:

Yeah, that seems to be how we separate the newcomers from the oldtimers around here now. :|\\

The Red Triangle was even mentioned in the 2007 Sub Almanac. Or was it the 2008?

[GoldenRivet]

beats me.

I turned it off in SH3 from day one. so it was easy to forget all about it

[Brag]

Sheesh!
I am only now learning about the red triangle. I did my SH2 stint without forums.:88)

[Reece]

Due to popular demand from the general public it's to be reintroduced in SHV!:yep:

About SUBSIM.COM - We began as a bunch of kids, sleeping in an old abandoned beach house, eating sardines, cheese, and crackers, playing Wolfpack on a caseless Commodore 64 we got from a pawn shop, waiting for our big break.




How did you pay for the electricity ? :O: :rotfl:

As Drebbel's defense attorney, I move for a mistrial because Hitman misspelled "immediate", "defense", "accused", "disobeyed", "psychological" and "decision".

Further, there is no written evidence that said "Hitman" has been duly appointed by the proper legal authority (i.e. Neal).

(gotta start the legal wrangling right away).






Yes the USS Sarsfield EDD 837 was a Gearing launched May 1945. I think she's still afloat as some years ago Korea commissioned her ( at least I think it was Korea? )

I really don't get the red triangle hate. Sure, it's not pretty, and it diverts from the "romantic" image everyone has of seafaring. But I'm sorry, the red triangle is there. It is the single greatest aid to lookout there is!

Here are a few pictures of ships I've taken where the red triangle is visible.

...Ok, joking, here's what my pictures usually look like. There is no such thing as a red triangle! Ahahahahaha! And in no way is there a conspiracy to hide its existance from the non-seafaring world! Ahahahahaha! What silly nonsense!:

But what? That picture has clearly been tampered with, look closely, there was a red triangle there, I am sure.

Hi,

that last text and picture made me really laugh :yep: Brilliant! At first I wondered why you explained so much that there isn't a red triangle in reality, when I discovered that you obviously edited it away from the last photo! Well... So its existance is still undoubted :up::up:
