Number 1 Wish List Item for Sh3

[eweber]

We all all have our wish lists for SH3. Wolf packs, milk cows, walk around sub... etc.

My number 1 wish is for SH3 is a simple one:

Allow me to have a dynamic logbook that I can type into while underway, preferably with a handwriting font.

I tried to get some of those desktop Quick-Notes type software to pop-up in SH3 but haven’t been successful. Alt-tabbing to write in them is not practicable either as it tends to mess-up the chart-table in my sub interior as well as it’s inconvenient.

I’m left with typing on my laptop while sailing on the desktop…. Hmmm…


Having a note-taking tool inside SH3 would be the ultimate mod add-on for me…


;) ew

[gdogghenrikson]

yea I agree with that..SH2 had that

[OneTinSoldier]

Well my #1 wish would probably be considered pretty lofty.

I would like to see a truly dynamic campaign a la Falcon 4.0, where we have for instance wolfpacks and AI naval and air batttles happening alongside the players, and the player and AI actions actually make a difference as to the outcome of the war.

SHIII is great even without that but that would be my #1 wish.

Cheers,

OTS

The visibility range being fixed properly. Not the current 8000 m balooney, nor the modded 17000m one with dodgy crew spotting. A real patch that fixed that issue would make me happy.

[von Buelow]

I agree with a war outcome that would flux with your performance... and setting of realism...

A close 2nd would be more missions (including meeting up with a wolfack or :D a friendly destroyer group to go wreak some havoc) vs the repetitive laa-dee-da partols

[FAdmiral]

I want a dynamic multiplayer campaign that will have 100 sub
players online at one time....
NOW THAT WOULD BE A WOLFPACK !!!

After just seeing a documentry on Kursk, I would have to say the number 1 thing I want is one of those subs and its super rocket-torpedos :huh:

Seriously though, All I want is for the crew to be a little more life-like, interesting, talkative, to stop standing under leaking pipes or in my feild of view. All I want is to have some company on my boat :cry:

I don't like my chances of getting either :doh: ;)

[kiwi_2005]

I would like to see a whore house back at port. For i and my rough crew to visit after a hard 6wks out at sea, it would be the only thing on a sailors mind wen he gets back. :|\ :hmm: :D :rock:

[kiwi_2005]

I also like #1 notpad idea, being able to write your own logs would be very nice. :up:

[Kpt. Lehmann]

My number one wish is to see water reflections added to the Type II subs.

:-j You can wish in one hand, and crap in the other - see which gets filled up first! :-j

I'd like a real U-boot, please...

The remaining 3d compartments internal views modelled, (Engine room etc) with the Obs' periscope moved back forward of attack periscope. Ability to back out of attack periscope into conning tower.

And most of all! Have more progressive damage models so that minor damage/wounds are commonplace in halfway nasty DC attack, rather than the "all or nothing" situation we nearly always get.

I though about it... for a few seconds... :)

After playing this game for many months, I finaly got to award two wound badges yesterday :D . I heard "ship spotted!" and got up on deck intime to see a Elco gun down my watch crew :o

Something like this is in the works, but you have to alt-tab to use it. Sorry, this is a limitation of SH3, and can't be worked around AFIK. This application currently integrates notes you take during a patrol with the patrol log and is output in html format (or text if you want to use something like phpbb). This is an example:

Sample Patrol Log (http://home.ec.rr.com/observer95/Klaus%20Bargsten%20Patrol%209.html)

I had one with a handwriting font, but changed because it was too hard to read. It could be an easy option though.

This "Alt-Tab" will rear its ugly head and there be more curse threads than starforce ones. Still i'll try it. At the moment if i use alt-Tab nothing serious happens, sh3 just goes to the taskbar, but if i start typing out a log in your one then i think im gonna see CTD or BSOD.

Are you looking for testers? i

[HEMISENT]

Looks good Observer.
Will these notes be integrated into SH3 Commander and be accessed similiar to the commander's profile.

[WARHEAD1]

I would like to see port and starboard controls to do tight moves in enemy harbors or in other tight spots and to be able to order my gun crews on deck in weather worse than5 meters

[AlanSmithee]

Observer, very cool. I'd look forward to that. Right now I have no ability to create a log, so BdU can never find out about all my screw-ups at sea.

Warhead, with some tweaking the deck gun can be used in any weather conditions. I'm pretty sure there's a mod somewhere around here that can do it, but otherwise see this thread (http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=39521) for how to do it manually.

I hate to mention it... but my number one wish would have to be the SDK. We could meet all the requests suggested above - though maybe not kiwi's suggestion of "aid and comfort" for tired sailors. :arrgh!: :arrgh!:

[don1reed]

...back space to pause...

then hit the "Windows" key. Bring up notepad, or whatever your heart desires to write your Kriegstagebuch. Or if you're really gutsy...don't pause, but things may happen to your boat while you're away being so literary. :up:
