Pascal's Smoke Mod

[waste gate]

Can anyone point me toward Pascal,s Smoke Mod.

I think its the best available.

Thank you in advance.

Please don't direct me to http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/.
I haven't registered because although the idea is to protect modders (honorable.... I don't know) I am not aware of how the registrants are being protected.

hello!
I don't understand what makes you hesitate using Terrapin's site http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/.

It's a excellent site and you have nothing to worry about. The new thing is that you have to register and login. It takes maximum 5 minutes to do so.

In http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/. you find the mod under the link: SH 3 Downloads, then Silent Hunter 3 (General sektion) and then the mod is named "PascalSmoke(1.4 ready).7z

Just a walk in the park :|\

If you still hesitate the file is in .7z format and is only 438.9 kb so I can email it to you. Just PM me and I'll send it to you.

Good luck!

Rulle34,

Until today I have not hesitated to Terrapin's site. I have been there often, as recently as yesterday, I have found it informative, entertaining and a great, no fantastic, source of Mods for SH3.

I have nothing but respect for Terrapin and all the Modders who spend their valuable time and talents to make my SH3 experience so enjoyable.

My recently acquired hesitation is a result of the registration that Terrapin now requires to access the download section. I understand he is attempting to protect the intellectual property of the Modders, but I am concerned about the security of the information that I and others are providing. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how vulnerable this information is.
Before I supply any personal info (e-mail, passwords and any other sensitive info),I would like to have some assurance that it is being protected. Seems every time I turn around some one is asking me too many questions about myself and I wonder why and where is this info going and who is using it. Call me paranoid.

By the way I found Pascal’s Smoke hiding in a previously unknown folder, and have placed it in JSGME.

Thank you for your concern

Dear paranoid, ;)

The information for which terrapin is asking is not something I would usually consider "personal" such as a Social Security number (for U.S. folks), driver's license, passport, credit card information, etc.
- Name: Use your initials
- Username: No problem - use a handle like "waste gate"
- Password: No problem - make one up you use only for this site.
- e-mail: No problem - that's why I have a spam filter.
FWIW, I believe and trust terrapin protects this information to the best of his (and his ISP's) ability; however, I generally assume there is no assurance that any information is completely safe, be it given at a website or on a credit/loan application. In this case, I believe the risk of ID theft or other such mischief is minimal, given the lack of financial or other critical identification information that is being given to terrapin's site.

Hope this helps.

Hmmm, when you've downloaded anything in the past, your IP was logged anyway - and THAT is a really sensitive information. You've agreed to our logging policy by clicking on any download link.

The user registration process is just another additional measure...basically an advice of my company's lawyers. I don't want to talk about the details in public, some known mod thieves are scanning this forum (but - hopefully - are banned completely for now at my place)...

Now, @OSSI: I'm awaiting your next idea. :)

I was not aware of this. I did not wish to cause a great controversy, I was only concerned of privacy issues. In my country my constitutional Fourth Amendment rights are being erodded on a daily basis. Soon we will be like Europe where no privacy is a way of life and no one questions it.

Almost anything you do on Internet can be logged if someone want to!

wastegate - I like your Benjamin Franklin quotation - albeit spelled incorrectly.

If you want proper browsing anonymity - set up a chain of proxies...that makes it very difficult to be traced. In this context, Terrapin is correct, malicious sites can gather significant information about you without needing your registration details. Heck, if you must, use a fake name and arbitrary email account, problem solved.

Well, up to now I've liked and used Terrapins site. I have nothing against the info the site is requesting, after all it's out there anyway. My gripe to this is the actual Efficiency of the "login" system.
Yesterday when confronted with the new request I submitted like normal
and proceeded to wait and wait for an e mail response-never happened.
Just now I went to the site, re-submitted the info giving a secondary e mail address and rcvd an email confirmation immediately. Great!
I clicked on activation link was advise account was activated, Great.
I click on "SH3 downloads" section and was advised no account/need to login/etc, etc.
Did this multiple times with same response.
This is not the first time one of these login sites has messed me around and I know it won't be the last.
Thinking the site doesn't like me anymore-will stick with rapid share or Neals site I guess. Trouble is I'm looking for the mod to adjust gun reload times and its been deleted from rapid share. Guess i'm sol.

Terrapin, it took a bit to find the Login box on the front page. You might want to work on making it more obvious?

Hey!
Give Terrapin a break!
He's been adwiced by leagal reasons to have this login on his site.
Terrapin is doing all of us a very great favour by let us all upload to his site and have all mods put in one place. This is really very nice!
If this login now is alittle bit tricky in the beginning, I'm sure it'll work great in just a little time.

I think we should appreciate his work more and complain less!

If you don't want to use Terrapins site, you have CCIP post right under this with links to rapidshare with the different reloadtimes for deckgun. Original, 10, 20, 40 and 60 seconds still work!

I was not aware of this.

?? You simply can't download anything from http://U-Boot.Realsimulation.com without being presented with this:


http://mpgtext.net/pics/AUP.jpg

clearly states 'All IP adresses are logged and kept on file'...


I don't want to derail this thread, but any legaleeze, registration or IP logs wouldn't have been necessary if some people wouldn't have started to try to steal other folks' work - in fact, it seems to me they're doing it even now... :nope:

[Gizzmoe]

in fact, it seems to me they're doing it even now... :nope:

Of course they do, what you call "protection" isn´t one. :) A fake name, a free email account and a proxy is all that is needed... This whole registration and IP logging thing is quite useless, but I still understand why you do that.

As well as being inaccurately quoted.

And it may or may not have been Franklin that originally stated it.

Thanks for the heads-up, M'Lady - much obliged! :)

I wasn't trying to give Terrapin a hard time. I think his site is great and he provides a huge service to the community. I really do want to continue visiting his site but its a turnoff when you try multiple times to enter and run into a brick wall each time. I'll try it again later today.

[The Avon Lady]

I had to tinker a ton in both IE's security settings and in Norton Security's options to be able to download from Terrapin's site.

That was about 2 months ago. Smooth sailing ever since! :up:

[waste gate]

Three cheers to terrapin and http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/
for removing the registration requirements.

Many thanks for rethinking your decission and reversing it. Your actions show a dedication to your passion, which is seldom seen under today's pressure to make everyone happy. I commend you for your courage!

Thank you ......I'll be hitting your site again and again.

@ Terrapin.....I would like to take the time to thank you, for all of your hard work and dedication you have shown to this community. Your site is on the top of my bookmarks. You have been and are a shelter for many creative mod makers. I would also like to add, that I have found a plethora of informative information on your site dealing with uboats in that era. with that said..."Your doors where friendly then, and they are friendly now". So I respect the fact that you have to protect your self as well as the moders that have intrusted you .Do what you have to do....You are A-OK in my book!....... :|\
