[KiloAlpha4]

with the X1 software pirating scandle, I am so glad I did not previously release this only to have losers profit off my work.

yes I was away for about a month and the rumor is that this mod will be starting up again soon and I will be looking for co modders hopefully peeps that can do some changes to code or files to achieve the desired effects I want and expand the limitations of sh3. ;)

I will state this for the record now:

IN NO WAY CAN THIS MOD BE USED IN WHOLE OR IN PART/COMBINATION WITH ANY OTHER MOD OR MOD "PACK" BY ANYONE FOR ANY REASON OR PLACED ON ANY CD ETC IN WHOLE OR IN PART OR IN COMBINATION OR SOLD FOR ANY REASON BY ANY METHOD OR ANYONE. THIS MOD IS FOR FREE DISTRIBUTION ONLY PERRIOD AND I RETAIN ALL RIGHTS OF ORIGINAL WORKS CONTAINED IN THIS MOD FROM THE POINT OF IT'S CONCEPTION. YOU MAY NOT USE OR MODIFY ANY PART WITHOUT PERMISSION IN WRITING BY ME FIRST. ALL DOCUMENTATION MUST BE CONTAINED IN/STAY WITH THE MOD. THIS MOD AND IT'S ARTISTIC OR INTELLECTUAL CONTENT/S IS GOVERNED BY INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT LAWS AND THE SOUL PROPERTY OF ME ALL RIGHTS RESERVED AND WILL BE LEGALLY ENFORCED AS SUCH. ALTERATION OF THIS MOD IN ANY WAY IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED WITHOUT PERMISSION IN WRITING BY ME FIRST SENT BY REGISTERRED MAIL.BY HAVING THE MOD OR ANY PART OF IT'S CONTENTS IN YOUR POSSESSION YOU AUTOMATICALLY AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS EVEN IF YOU DID NOT SEE THIS LEGAL NOTICE . IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE INFORMED AS TO THE LEGALLITY AND EULA OF THIS MOD AND ANY OTHER PRODUCT NOT MINE.

All ORIGINAL works are my legal property perriod not ubi's or anyone else's..you got that X1 pirates ?

THERE WILL BE COPYRIGHT MEASURES INCORPORATED INTO THE CONTENTS OF THE MOD

I hope this spells it out clearly for any would be pirates in the shadows. :arrgh!:

Sorry for the caps but I didn't want anyone to miss the legal stuff. IT'S A SAD DAY FOR THE HONOR SYSTEM AND SOON MODDERS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO USE ANTI-PIRACY MEASURES LIKE THE SOFTWARE COMPANIES. I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THAT DAY HERE ALREADY.

Anyone interested in joining in on the mod please post especially if you can mod/model or code a bit to change some things in the game that I have ideas for. Requirements are not extreme for any positions but ambition, dedication and willingness to learn is a must. You can email me with some examples of your work at tfb.mod@gmail.com subject: SH3 Mayday Mod .

@KiloAlpha4............Nice looking work. :sunny:

[KiloAlpha4]

Hey thanks been working on this for a while but took a break lol. I wasn't going to release it because of second thoughts I had which the X1 software piracy scandle served to reinforced but I changed my mind. This won't be released until after X1 releases their pirated mods because I'm sure they'd love to get their thieving little hands on this mod for their "compilation" (whatever) cd to sell. of course that would be illegal according to my EULA and TOG heheheh. ;)

Anyone using other mods/new model mods etc that want those skins upgraded or redone as a option in this mod let me know please and post the mod aswell as a link so I can take a look at it and see if I need any permission from their respective owners prior to upgrading them. Anything "modified" that is not mine will be credited within the mod and listed Unless it is a "original work" skin I did for example.

[KiloAlpha4]

Finally there is light at the end of the tunnel as far as seperate gun tga's and this mod will be full steam ahead. Huge thanks to sergbuto for finding a simple solution going by his release thread of the mod dat file. I'm going to check it out tomorrow in more depth and maybe finish the bismarck up.

There is still alot of work to do for the mod but it will come in time. I will keep the community updated as to it's progress as much as I can along the way. Any requests etc Ideas or comments (constructive) are welcome during the modification progress so please feel free to comment, request or show your support. I appreciate the communities input and ideas etc. If you would like to see something added or done in the mod then please post it.

[KiloAlpha4]

TOA or EULA has been upgraded to include this section

IT ALSO CAN NOT BE SOLD BT ANYONE OTHER THAN THE AUTHOR IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER A "DONATION" EXCHANGE OR ANY SUCH OTHER AGREEMENT AND CAN HAVE NO RESTRICTIONS OR REQUIREMENTS ON IT'S DISTRIBUTION OR DOWNLOAD.

That should ensure that it remains a totally freely distributed mod.

I think with the scope of this mod it's going to need it's own site. I'm looking at a host now that gives 2 gigs of space and 5 gigabytes of daily bandwidth so downloads won't be a problem in the future. And its 7.99 a month -great deal.

[Drebbel]

A SHIII modder who includes an EULA ?

Hahahahahaha

:rotfl:

[KiloAlpha4]

after X1 we have to. The honor system is gone because as the saying goes "there is no honor among thieves" otherwise anybody can try to sell it use it, change something small and then claim it as theirs or exchange it in return for a "donation" which is why I made the liscence and use agreement to ensure that the mod remains a free mod to the end user.

It's a sad day for modding but what do ya do. All those pesky :arrgh!:

[Drebbel]

I just think it is funny because according to the SHIII EULA it is not even allowed to mod the game :D

[KiloAlpha4]

yep but they set a presidence by not shutting down all previous sh3 released mods or the sites hosting them or even go after X1 to stop their planned release. Legally they have to enforce the agreement. But whether or not I'm going to get into the expense of a website is another story it's something I'm contemplating.

[Drebbel]

yep but thet set a presidence by not shutting down all previous sh3 released mods or the sites hosting them.

I know. Still funny you want others to comply to your own MOD EULA and do not comply to the SHIII EULA yourself.

Of course I understand the reasons behind it.

[KiloAlpha4]

Of course I understand the reasons behind it.


yep free is free perriod, and "original" work is "original" work ;) I wouldn't bother if I just put a sticker on a pre-existing skin and nothing else. I'm actually surprised the real world mod etc didn't try to put anything in to stop peeps from taking their work and selling it or changing it a bit and using it as their own.

[Drebbel]

Ah Free, sounds good. Keep it going.

Drebbel

PS: Sure beats 15$ per cd :P

[KiloAlpha4]

PS: Sure beats 15$ per cd


yep or a 50 dollar donation....but some peeps want a cd copy and people don't realise the post office doesn't ship anything for free these days lmao. I won't be doing the cd thing too much hassel.This is all depending on how much time my clan is going to suck out of my life. Especially since a server is going to be up soon and I still have to do the whole site etc. But Battlefield 2 is worth it in my opinion and then there's the map editor release soon...oh my. Suppose to be out now so I have to check on it and see if they released it yet.

[Drebbel]

50$ wow that is steep ? Who is charging that ???

You moving over to BF2 ? Does that mean you will stop modding SHIII ? :-?

[KiloAlpha4]

Gonna try and do both but I'm definately modding BF2 making atleast 10 mp maps as a start.

Community Update – 7/29/05

Battlefield 2 Mod Tool Update
As we mentioned in this space a little over a week ago, the Battlefield 2 Editor was released to a small number of Mod Teams worldwide recently to help us uncover last minute configurations issues and/or documentation omissions. This process has been a tremendous success thanks to the dedicated Community Members involved, and we are in the process of addressing a few last minute issues with the Editor. With that said, we are still a few days from Open Beta release. We again ask for the community's patience, as our goal with the Editor is to provide the most stable, complete toolset possible.


WOHOOO ! :rock: finally the wait is almost over.

[KiloAlpha4]

ranked server rental prices are insane for bf2.

[Gammel]

money changes everything

I'm still getting the server lol they are just expensive @ 140 U.S. a month. It was in the works ling before SH3 came along.

Any way I had added stripes to the bf109 but I am thinking that I'm going to redo the skin much like I had done with the stuka because I think I can do a even better one. Thanks to the creator of the living world mod because seeing these fly over in kiel with the new skins is a truly awesome sight , not to mention the ships. I'll try to get a screen of it. Is there a port where the stukas fly over etc ? With modding I don't get alot of time to play. I'm trying to wait until the mod is completed so I can truly enjoy the game because graphics do count in my book.

[Drebbel]

Nice, the red stripes look cool, but are they historical correct ?

[KiloAlpha4]

not too concerned with historically correct.

[Drebbel]

not too concerned with historically correct.

Bummer, won't you loose the biggest part of your audience going a non-historical-correct way ?

[KiloAlpha4]

not for that no. Not too worried about my "audience" ;) I mean here's the original game default skin:

http://usera.imagecave.com/kiloalpha4/SH3/bf109original.jpg

not too spetacular.


Alright don't know if this was done or not but anyway, instead of modding your save file to get more money I just changed some amounts in the basic.cgf to get a half decent income the easy way.

[RENOWN]
RenownReachGridObjCompleted=1500
RenownPatrolGridObjCompleted=2500
CompletedPatrol=1500
NEUTRAL=1
ALLIED=1
AXIS=-10
WrongShipSunk=-500
FirstRankRenown=1000
SecondRankRenown=3500
EndCampaign=2000

[PLAYER_RENOWN]
AcademyBonus=15000

I made neutral a gain not a loss aswell. For peeps who don't know, now you have a relatively good income without messing with the save game files. You could also crop the 1500 up to 2500 on the patrol renown for a bit more of a boost that's not too extreme.
