Anyone here playing Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm?

[GlobalExplorer]

I like that game but I don't want to begin progress through that railed campaign again.

There was a tool that let you customize seasons, I think it was called null's customizer or something like that. Anyone still have it or know where it can be downloaded? Now that the greenwave forum is deleted there is hardly any information in the web concerning Alaskan Storm.

[GlobalExplorer]

I found it. Now lets me set up storm or random weather from the very beginning.

[Dowly]

Thanks!

I have AS gathering dust somewhere, need fire it up again. :yeah:

[Arclight]

They made a game of it?! :o

Looks cool. Is it really a sim, or just "kinda"? :06:

[Dowly]

It was quite nice when I played it. Very good atmosphere when you are sailing in a storm at night, switching your cabin lights on and off just to keep yourself busy with something. :haha:

[GlobalExplorer]

I think it's pretty unique, and it's definitely more of a sim. Pity they never fixed the bugs and also never opened up the game for modders. Now it seems the developer went bust and it's too late.

Doesn't sound to bad; Try driving a train in something like Railworks, that'll have you bouncing off the walls in no time. :88)

I still love it though. :lol:

Liquid Dragon Studios... another thing I never heard of. Bugs as in gamebreaking, pretty bad or passable? Might give it a go at some point. :hmmm:

Some point in the next year, probably. If I calculated what I spend on games in the last 3 months I'll probably through myself out a window. :nope:

Havent played any of the train sims, but I'm pretty big fan of the 18 wheels of steel truck sims. I dont know why, but I just love to drive around, especially during the night. :yep:

[CaptainHaplo]

I have got it and don't know that I would call it a sim.

I guess in a way it is, but it really just got monotonous for me. A good game to visit once in a while, but not one that I play alot of.

[GlobalExplorer]

I guess in a way it is

Remarkable logic!

I think it is both a sim, and very good one. But it is brought down by low difficulty, when I put my pots in the dark red areas and let them soak for 48h, I always catch about the same amounts, so quickly all excitement is gone when the first pot gets lifted.

On the other hand, the environment feels brutally realistic, if you try to fish during dangerous weather the boat can sink, and crewmembers can die, and you must think very hard how to get the most out of your crew and boat without overworking them.

So what this game needs is a realism / difficulty mod that removes the godseye (survey). As it is, it feels playing SHIII with the spysat mod. Anyone knows who this nullcharacter dude is? I would like to contact him concerning questions how he modded the db files.

[Task Force]

The game is a good game... has some bugs and the ships don't handle that great. but the atmosphere is pretty good (Limited resolutions was a downer) but other than that the waves are really nice. and the game will sometimes throw problems at ya. (hurt crew, cranky tired crew, ect) There is acouple of other boats out there with you. (not hundreds but afiew.) and the map is scaled down... which is abit of a small scale for me with is had been alittle bit bigger, but its better than sailing for a entire day. lol

(And dowly just reminded me about 18 WOS games... pretty good, quite fun driveing around... especialy now that i have a steering wheel. lol.:yep:

Ahh that's your misunderstanding of the game surveys :). The difficulty is
quite high because it demands you to realise the surveys as shown on the map are dated, and not current. You have to realise the crab can move,
so the reason you get the same numbers is because you keep to the same
red part of the survey. ;) Sometimes, the best spots are in the red, and
othertimes they are in the blue. You have to know a little of the behaviours on the crab. ;)

As for the boat rolling over, of course it will, if u drive it unsafely. ie doing a reach run (running parallel to high seas) will roll the boat Sometimes u just have to sleep te crew n put ur bow to the waves n ride it out.

[krashkart]

Played it a few times. I was impressed with the storms. Got caught in a really, really bad one that just seemed to creep up on me; low waves at first, but before long it was all I could do just to keep the boat from capsizing. Probably the best part of the game aside from finding a really good crabbing spot. :yep:

[krashkart]

Here's a thread necro for the Ages... :arrgh!:http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=258&pictureid=4486

FileFront deletes your files if they become "inactive". I've re-uploaded it. Enjoy!

http://www.gamefront.com/files/21409885/DCASCustomizer-v1.0.4.zip

P.S. I don't know if it'll work with the 1.1 patch for DCAS. I haven't played the game since it came out. Good luck.

i get the same thing 2:/\\!!

[bob55]

could someone send me a copy of DCASCustomizer that works i get Unknown method in DCASCustomizer.exe my email is brimatt82@yahoo.com

[Pisces]

I don't have the game, but I got the same errors when testing the zip-file with WinRAR 3.93. I didn't get the errors with 7-zip 9.2. It extracted normally. Since I don't have the game, I cannot check completely if the .exe file works. But it did execute and tell me it couldn't work because of lack of the game. So I guess all should be fine, assuming you use the right extractor.

The gamefront download link above from NullCharacter still works.

[Onkel Neal]

If someone comes across a working version, PM me or Sailor Steve and we'll add it to the Downloads section.

[bob55]

it works thanks for the help pisces

[NullCharacter]

If you have problems with this mod then please feel free to PM me here. I am the original author of it.

It looks like some of you had problems running the mod. Make sure you extract the executable file to your computer before attempting to run it. Running it from within the extractor may cause the kinds of problems listed above.

Also, this does require that your computer have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed. This shouldn't be a problem for most modern machines. However, if you do get a strange error when running the mod then you should make sure you have this installed.

This counts as a Naval Game? :hmmm:

Wow...the subsim genre is really hurting....

[NeonSamurai]

Counts as a "general" game

[Cole]

Can you upload DCAS Customizer again? Previous link looks inactive

[GlobalExplorer]

DCASCustomizer version 1.04, have no idea if this solves your problem though ..

Anyone still looking for a copy of this game? Amazon has a used one for $129.95, :haha:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0017S2S0Y/ref=dp_olp_used_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=used

[GlobalExplorer]

LOL :)

Used "Very Good" condition $174.95

I'm glad I "got" it before it got such a great rarity.

[Leon West]

Really? $174.95? OUCH!

I have my disc sitting right here next to me and I also have the DCAS Campaign Customizer saved in my downloads, just in case the link ever goes dead again. That customizer really helps the career mode of the game to feel different and random, instead of the developers ideas of progressively worse weather with each season.

I wish the PC version had multiplayer like the Xbox 360 version does. I would love to compete with some fellow captains.

I also remember someone, a long time ago, created a website that was for a virtual shipping company. He used games like the SCS trucking simulators for ground transport, and Flight Simulator for air transport. In one section he had a thing for Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm. Basically, the captains in DCAS would play a season and list the amount of crab caught. That would be offloaded in a port in Alaska. The pilots in Flight Simulator would fly that catch down into the mainland, and the truckers would ship it from there.

It was such a great system, considering I love all of those games.

[Crabby]

Please, If anybody still play this game, Please respond as fast as possible.

I'm looking that costumizer, DCAS Customizer or somthing, already tried the zip file, it's broken as the other said.

Please respond, I feel like i'm the only one playing this game :wah:
