First Mod/ First Modder?

[sunvalleyslim]

Okay Mates let's all take a guess as to what will be the first mod, and second who will be the first modder........And we'll all find out the answer next year......SVS

[TwistedFemur]

elimination of the red triangle

[FIREWALL]

I know What and Who but, I'm not telling until next year. :smug:

[THE_MASK]

I know What and Who but, I'm not telling until next year. :smug: You mean you are not allowed to tell until next year ?

[JScones]

It means he will tell only after the game is released and the first mod has been made by the first modder. ;)

[JU_88]

Im guessing a swastika mod will ve one of the first.

[Arclight]

If they forget to model a proper rayfilter assembly again, I will be first. :smug:

Only takes a hour or so to paste some color in there. :lol:

[Decoman]

I would be happy to model a freighter ship, and texturing it, as long as someone can tell me how a model can be inserted into the game.

[Ducimus]

The first mod will probably be something simple, and asthetic in nature. A fix to some minor annoyance so that they might better enjoy the game - published by someone who is not really thought of as a modder.

[Arclight]

Exactly. :D

Fully agree. Although it may not be just to fix a minor annoyance. I think more likely it will be something like changing the soup colour, or a sound file...ie a personal preference thing.

The first mod for SH-4 was by CCIP.

A SH-3 Keymap.

[Seeadler]

The question is, will it be moddable even?

Or will it be one of those games who are now tied to online portals and be supplied over this with new content ( payware and free content) ... keywords: DLC :hmmm:
Example: SH5 comes at release only with two playable sub types. Other playable subs and area of operations are available in the following months, as paid downloads over such portals.

With many of these games, mods are excluded, because all players must play with the same version, whether single or multiplayer, because their game achievements are listed on these portals.

Like other publishers, Ubisoft has now created now such a gaming portal called UPlay: http://uplay.uk.ubi.com/

[Arclight]

I think they said SH5 keeps the file-structure from SH4. Any modder that knows his way around SH3/4 should be able to find his way around SH5.

Uplay shouldn't be of any harm. It just rewards players for continuing to play a title by unlocking achievements/Uplay units.

Testing Ubisoft's "Frequent Flyer" Rewards Program With Assassin's Creed II (http://kotaku.com/5406773/testing-ubisofts-frequent-flyer-rewards-program-with-assassins-creed-ii)

Bit like what Bioware did with Dragon Age, which is perfectly moddable. ;)

[Webster]

delete intro movie will be my first mod to the game

[PL_Andrev]

delete intro movie will be my first mod to the game

:o
Not the real German ensign?

[Kaleun_Endrass]

The first mods are already done. Right now it's open for voting which one will be the first, second, ..., tenth. Just vote for your favourite emblem in the conning tower emblem contest.

since those will be included/built into the game i dont think they are the same

Does anyone recall what the first SH3 mod was? :hmmm:

[Ducimus]

Does anyone recall what the first SH3 mod was? :hmmm:

Have fun digging through several years worth of archieves. :haha:

I do however recall a number of mods from the "pre supermod era":

- Improved convoys and Imrpoved Airpower. Both by Jace11 if i remember correctly.

- Rubini used to do a Harbor traffic mod which predated the Unified campaign. Personnally, i credit rubini with planting the seed from which supermods grew, as his HT mods grew to include more and more stuff as i recall.

- I don't know who did the first dat edits. That's all a bit fuzzy to me with TimeTravellers crush depth editor, and tweaker.

- FLBSales99, i think did the first serious edits into the menu.ini file.


Again, memory's fuzzy.

[TDK1044]

Does anyone recall what the first SH3 mod was? :hmmm:

My guess would be the green lamp mod.

[AVGWarhawk]

The first mod is normally called a patch. :shifty::D

[Ragtag]

My guess for the 2 first user mods will be enabling swaztika and a nomograph.
I definatly want the nomograph :D

[Ragtag]

Does anyone recall what the first SH3 mod was? :hmmm:

The first one was enabling swaztika on flags and the deck of the Bismarck. I remember it well due to the wide discussions around the matter.

Okay!:sunny:

So far I've found a thread complaining that UBI changed the shipping date for the US from March 15 to March 16, 2005. I don't remember at all, but it would seem people started playing the game on one of those dates, at least in Europe.

On March 16 there were a lot of posts about "Finally got it!"

The oldest post in the Mods Workshop forum is dated March 14.

There is a post dated March 15 asking for a Gibraltar mission, with Martes86 saying he will give it a try.

On March 20 OfficerPuppy (AKA Gian) put up the first original SH3 Das Boot Sound Mod, featuring a few sound files he had changed.
http://www.subsim.com/phpBB_archive1/viewtopic.php?t=30134

But it would seem that Ragtag is correct. This thread posted the same day http://www.subsim.com/phpBB_archive1/viewtopic.php?t=29832 refers to an existing mod adding the Swastika to the Kriegsmarine flag. The link within the thread is dead, so the date of the original release can't be read, but the wording confirms that that mod already existed on another board.

Congrats to Ragtag for his excellent memory!:rock:

But if you want to have some real fun (and have a lot of time to waste) read these posts about the speculation for SH3, a year before that one was released:

How can one forget ;)
I actually dug out SH3 from my dusted shelf and installed it again. Having a blast up in Scapa atm :)
Somehow i actually like the atmosphere in SH3 better than SH4 for some reason even though i play SH4 weekly. Oh well, better enjoy these games before SH5 comes out :)

:har: So cool. For a few moments I actually thought I was back in the SH5 section.

Check this out:

KWolfe 16 Jan 2004:

I wonder how the crew is managed!?
For shure they will bleed and die... and I hope there will be funerals if the others will survive after a DD attack.
Maybe a medic will come in handy...

Sound familiar?

[jimbob]

Does fixed exe count?

:har:

If not, usually first things to go off in any new game is those stoopid bik files in intros.
That's not a MOD per se.

Then it's the keyboard preferences, find the file that has the info if the game does not have options inside.

Such as the case in SH3/4.

I still use the KeyChanger 1.3 (SetKeys 1.3) sometimes.

I did, and people usually complement me on my memory.:dead:

I still give SH3 and SH4 roughly equal time, so SH3 for me has never been on a "dusted shelf". Almost two years in a storage unit, but that's another story.

Well researched Steve and well remembered Ragtag http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

@Ducimus...IIRC the HT mod was my first addition.

[-SWCowboy.]

[THE_MASK]
