Introducing RUM - Reenacted Uboat Missions

[The Avon Lady]

Please have a look at the new Community Manual RUM Missions page (http://www.communitymanuals.com/shiii/index.php?title=RUM_Missions).

I struck the match. Let's get the fire going.

Constructive criticism always welcome. :yep:

OT: Is that pic photoshopped? Or is that fire/explosion from a mod?

So you needed the banner for that? :roll:

Me? PhotoShop? :88) I don't have it and when I once did, I couldn't do anything with it.

I managed to get the text in with MS Paint. I'm so proud of myself! :smug: :know:

The pic was taken ingame by me a long time ago. I had Ail's explosions and smoke installed at the time, if I remember correctly.
So you needed the banner for that? :roll:
Yes. BTW, more banners welcome. But most of all, missions. We need missions! :yep:

[Dowly]

I just might, read closely, MIGHT, make some banners for you. Although, I´m no good photoshopper, but I`m learning new things everyday! :)

Good luck with your project!

Thanks! :up:

It's not mine. It's the community's! We altogether make and shape it.

A great idea Avon Lady!

SH3 as a pedagogic tool that allows you to 'see' history unfold is sadly underutilised at the moment. Maybe eventually even some of the missions created could feed back into the scripted campaign...

[HEMISENT]

Avon Lady.
This is a great idea. Looks like I'll have to brush up on the mission designer. Dl'd your first mission- will give it a shot tonight
Keep it up. :up:

[Dowly]

Hey, Avon!

I just made two banners while I wait my boat to reach the patrol grid. (¤&""%" BDU sent me to east coast of USA! :stare: )

So, where should I post the banners, should I PM them to you or?

And be warned, they are really quickly done so, don´t expect anything fancy. :) I just like to play with photoshop.

[Dowly]

I`ll post them here, if you dont mind? After all, as you said, it´s community´s project. Maybe the community can help to choose the best banner for the project.

IMHO, I like AL's old typewriter font best. My $0.01.

Yup, I like it too, but I was too lazy to find one. :rotfl:

Dowly, your 1st and 3rd banners are now uploaded and listed (http://www.communitymanuals.com/shiii/index.php?title=RUM_Missions#List_of_available_RUM _banners:) but you could have done this yourself. :roll:

There's this Upload File (http://www.communitymanuals.com/shiii/index.php?title=Special:Upload) link in the left hand menu. You must be registered and logged in to be able to upload.

Besides that, you can upload them to Image Shack and then edit the manual's page to link to them.

Here's a few I tried with just the screenshots I have. See if you like them:

Argh! Size should be 740x200, as stated in the RUM page. :88)

Ack, but I was following your older PM's at WaW :oops:

Will fix if possible, hold up :yep:

[CCIP]

Had to axe the first one due to quality problems, but here's the other 3... assuming you don't want the Catafark :88)

Good job!

Don't be shy! Add them yourself to the RUM banner list (http://www.communitymanuals.com/shiii/index.php?title=RUM_Missions#List_of_available_RUM _banners:).

G'nite! :zzz:

[Dowly]

CCIP, that 3rd one of yours is one of the best banners I´ve ever seen!

Which, the Sunderland one? Thanks :)

All uploaded to the manual, the Lady can rest easy now :P

[baxter]

Avon...this sounds like a great idea...I like the idea of not reading what happened until after the mission. I'm looking forward to trying a couple of these.

[ReaperJester]

Yeah, wonderful idea, educational and a great initiative to create some more interesting missions. I might have to get off my lazy butt and study up on that mission editor. This sounds like fun.

BTW CCIP, I knew that catalnia over that VII picture looked familiar...then I saw your signature :)

All hail the mighty catafark :rock:

Tried the first mission Avon Lady, besides not seeing worth a damn got the same results, sank the DD and one neutral ship. :doh: Excellent. :up:

[Dowly]

Oh... help! Avon lady! How I get my banner to appear to the bannerlist? I uploaded the banner, but I don´t know how to get it to the list...

<--- stupid :oops:


EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out.

<-- genius :know:

hello avon-
I currently have made 12 historical convoy battles for the TAW(art of warfare) multiplayer online campaign. I have been using Clay Blair's two volume set on the U-boat war as reference.
I really enjoy bringing these historical battles to life in a multiplayer setting.

I'd like to find a place to to share these with the community, and this seems quite ideal. :)

Thanks again for getting this started for the community!

Great! I'll be more than happy to host them for you. PM or email me when you're ready to go ahead.

You do all your graphics editing using MS Paint! :o wow! Do you know that the latest Photoshop comes with a tutorial dvd played in media player.

Is that RUM missions where we create historic missions for multiplay/single player huh? ive been monitoring rum for a while. Creating BS SH# missions no problem, but a historic mission its a whole new ball game. Still a good idea.

Do you know that I don't have PhotoShop? :damn:
