The War Memorial at Laboe

[OldFrenchy]

I am curious to know if the 85 meter tall war memorial built after WW1 commemorating naval veterans, and located on the spit at Laboe (north of Kiel) is modelled in the game. It is a landmark used by all ships as they sail out to the Baltic. Anyone see it, and if so can you post a screenie?
Thanks!

Not included! Also not included the memorial at Moltenort! :shifty:

[Sailor Steve]

But they're both in GWX!:D

Seriously, how much else isn't in the game. I see from screenshots that none of WAC's lovely working bridges are in SH5 either.

How hard to mod in? (hint hint hint)

[Carotio]

Well, maybe the modders who created the Moltenort and Laboe memorials for SH3 can convert their mods to SH5. I highly doubt it is a priority of the ubi devs...

[HanSolo78]

@Carotio

I second that! I also do think they have other things to work on.

I also think the Sh3 files could be ported... but at the moment other things need work, I would suggest.

Ref did those for GWX.

He's not been around for sometime now.
:06:
So it would fall to Kpt Lehmann to OK a conversion to SH V

And Yes,
The files can be converted.
But at this time everything falls back to Hex editing many things.
:arrgh!:

[Sailor Steve]

Or for someone else to build a new one (two).

Are you up for it matey?

[Madox58]

Many people hate Hex Editor type people!
:hmmm:

Till they need them.
:haha:

I'm on the files like a Cop on a Donut!
:har:

[Ducimus]

Jimbuna, at first i just knew you guys would be back. Then i started to believe you in saying you weren't. Now i'm thinking i had it right the first time. :hmmm: You know, I wouldn't mind that at all, i'd get to enjoy the game for no effort for once! :woot: All id have to do, is sit back, be patient, and D/L the cool mods. I like that idea! GWX is coming back right? :O:

[Madox58]

I'm only looking at the files because that's what I'm good at.
It's the way I enjoy the Series.
Once I figure out how to do the techie type stuff?
I'll post that information.
Heck,
I'm already working on a new program to assist everyone.
As for any return of The Grey Wolves?
:hmmm:
I'm not aware of anything serious.

They'll be back!


(sorry, couldn't resist, just tongue in cheek humor. )

[Sailor Steve]

I would think that really does depend on Kpt Lehmann.

But GWX is just a name people keep throwing around, and what's in a name? Was the sum of the whole greater than the parts? Possibly. Possibly not. The whole may or may not resurface, but as you see the parts are still around, and still doing their thing. And if they should end up reuniting with the same or with other parts, it may be called something different, or it may not, but it can still end up being a new, and hopefully better whole.

And if they don't unite, but keep working separately, or in smaller groups, there's still hope.

I'd say the future looks good for SH5.

[Fischmob]

Would be happy to see someday in the game. Haven´t bought it yet but already yelled at a friend who bought it during his first mission in SH V: " Front nach Backbord! Trottel!" ;) while he was returning to Kiel . *G*

[Madox58]

I agree that the future looks good for SH V.
Many good people are on the files like flies on ... well you know!
I have downloaded everything I could grab on Granny files.
Actually had most of the stuff over a year ago!

I have converted some test models to GR2 and Hexed them into
a working GR2 file.

Goblin sees them.
The Game sees them.
So I'm on the right track.
It's the details I need yet!
:06:

[Juliano]

:o

Guys from the GW jumping into te fray to save the day?
It´s like a dream coming true!

[Jimbuna]

At this moment in time the answer is still 'no' and my previous answer remains unchanged.

I subscribe to what Steve has just posted but would add one small detail/change......

Having spoken to KL two days ago on TS my belief/understanding is that

a) The position remains unchanged.

b) With the fullest respect and consideration to KL, I doubt that this would be his sole decision anymore but more likely the collective decisions of former Grey Wolves because to all intents and purposes the Grey Wolves disbanded after the release of GWX3.0 and during the early developmental phase of a planned GWX4 release.

It is gratifying to witness the return of friends such as Privateer and BBW, especially when you see them weaving a thread or two of their old magic but, as great as this is and whilst giving all due credit and recognition to the quality of their work and skills, it is little more than that.

I don't believe we are witnessing the formation of a team of such a magnitude as that of the GWX team.

I'll be more than happy to stand corrected if this is not an accurate statement, but as I said earlier, I spoke to KL in person on voice comms two days ago and The Lair has been down due to technical gremlins since this morning so I am unaware of any changes if they have been made but I am 100% confident KL would telephone me informing me of any change.

Come to think of it, perhaps there is one concept you've not considered....could it be possible we are witnessing the formation of a totally new modding team? :hmmm:

:DL

Now that's something I've been hoping for more than the other. Though either is fine with me.

I'm simply speculating now but we could be looking at the first introduction of Privateers Pirates or Big Boy Woolys Brigands.

Meh

[Ducimus]

Oh i get it, it would be the GWX guys under a new name, right? :D

Anywho, judging by the length of your post, id say you were taking me a little too seriously, (im very sarchastic, its just the way i am) and trying to nip impressions this thread made in the bud. Whatever you guys do.. have fun with it. IMO, modding all the time sucks, so better you then me. :O:

[Jimbuna]

Meh

2-0 up at half time (Karroll)...always happens when the bastids aren't on Sky http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pissedoff.gif

We better pull our socks up further down the league tables...my colleague is an ardent Norwich fan http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/wolfcop.gif

The rest of the above is Ducimus and me having a bit crack....following your progress/tribulations over at The Lair with interest, now that it's back up.

No harm no foul.....simply responding factually and honestly.

Wondering what the first supermod will be and by whom quite frankly, intrigues me.

As you've already stated "better you than me" :DL:up:

[bigboywooly]

Yep modding all the time does suck
Dont realise till you take a step back

Trouble is we cant stop
Can we Ducimus
:har:
You know as well as the rest of us when you say you wont mod you cant resist a look at the files and then a tinker or two here and there and before you know it you have a mod

I doubt I could do anything the size and timescale of GWX again
Near on hated SH3 after and only recently loaded it back up
Only to release a mod :damn:

I enjoy going through the files
See what makes it tick
I guess fair to say only the campaign\flotilla side of things interest me although take an interest in shipping too

Have sooo resisted the urge to do anything with SH5
And believe me there are a few things in desperate need of doing

But I know sooner or later there will be a patch and the last one overwrote the campaign so no doubt next will
Plus the lack of units doesnt really inspire me to alter much
Have to say the devs have this time around had a decent look at the convoys and got them pretty much spot on bar of course make up of units
And without those no point in touching them

As soon as we see some new units appear I wont be able to resist having a go at changing things

I don't know what your talking about! I can stop anytime i want! (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=99629)

Honestly, That is the biggest reason i keep saying you guys will be back.... I know how it is. ::rotfl2: And yeah i know, i've been working. In my defense, ive limited it to two items i could do with minimal effort on my part. And 1 item that hardly bares mentioning its so easy. My interest is primarly helping out a friend to lighten his workload a smidge. Everythings well documented so it makes it easier for anyone who comes in behind me after im gone.

[Exakt]

Truly a shame that they didn't included them. And as most people have said, it is up to the modders to "finish" that game.

[Madox58]

I'm only interested in getting the model import trick down.
Any long turm (:haha:) modding is beyond me.

I prefer to jump around now.
Maybe even finish something!!

Best look again then
lmao

[Jimbuna]

3-0...even better :DL

[OldFrenchy]

Back to this subject again!;) Did anyone model any of the historical monuments into a mod? I thought I wsaw some pics of them floating around as a work in progress, but never did see the completed file.
Is it out there?

[Madox58]

I've converted many things and was in the process of
makeing GR2 files of them.
Then my system started Pineing for the Fjords!
:nope:

I am extremely limited in what I can do now.
Until business picks up?
My cash flow is not flowing so no new system is in sight for me.
:damn:
