Accept my condolences.

Goodluck,

Thanks Guys.
It does mean alot to me.
They were each very close Friends in different ways.
I'll sorely miss them all.
:nope:

Hi privateer,
please, accept also my condolences.

with sympathy,
Mith

Im so sorry to hear that privateer

Again,
Thanks Guys.

I did spend sometime today looking at the CRC problem when renaming
things by hex editing.
This is in reference to the torp animations problem when an AI Sub is near.

Nothing to say at this point about that,
but I did get back to work on several things.
:yep:

I changed some code on the Normals Maker I'm working on.
It's much closer to what I'm after, but I still need to adjust a few things.

It requires no Image software to create Normals dds files.
So it's a nice slick piece of software.

Sorry to hear about your friends.
My deepest sympathies go out to you and there families.

Thanks reaper7,

I do also work behind the scene (so to speak)
to try to get answers or something going that will help all of us.

Questions to any contacts I can think of in all kinds of areas.

It may never come to anything.
But if you don't try every approach?
You've not tried hard enuff.

Sorry to hear of your loss. :(

Long time lurker first time poster.:ping:

If Granny 3D by Rad is the problem why dont we take up a colletion
and buy the program. I would gladly put up $100 or more, then we
only need 124 more ppl to get you the tools you need.

Trust,
but that answer will rely solely on you. :)

Pm me at anytime if you want to go deeper. :yep:

A collection idea is nice.
Many site do things like this.
But $12,500 is ALOT of money!
Who would handle this type fund that all would trust?

And how would the usage of this be worked with RAD Games?
Do we need an official Group that can use the software?
Who selects the members?

It's a Spiders web of questions!

Would you donate $100.00 if you could never use the software?
But knew that others would use it for the improvement of SH5?
And what of those that want access to this because they donated?
And say we somehow got a legal version.
What if it is leaked?
How would we trace the leak?
UBI has no special build that I see.
It's a right out of the box version.
Of course, with a full license,
it could be hard coded to display a special build number.
But again, if leaked?
How to we trace this?

Say we had obtained a full License for a limited Team.
Could we get Ubi to do a special patch that demands a
special build of Granny?

We get this special build in addition to a Legal License.
We are only part way there.

Modders are known to share things.
We still face the very real problem of the wrong person getting
thier grubby hands on this.

And then we are all screwed!
$12,500 down the drain!

Clearify your statement.
A PM was sent.

Who handles the Donation for this site?
Usage could be a single install
or a network install with only one chair allowed on at a time ,
like company’s do for Autodesk software.
So you only buy one copy but many can use it form a net work.
Yes I would give money for software I cant use, I already did to Ubi twice. :oops:
I could give more but thought $100 was a nice place to start.:)
Leaks can be control be limiting the use to a few trusted members.
But it all comes down to trust.
I know none of you here but there are ppl here I would trust to make mods all would enjoy.

So if its Granny 3D you need lets work on getting it for you.:yeah:
How many members does Subsim have?

I did send an information request to RAD Sales.
I'd say it will be Tuesday at the earliest before I get a reply.

Here is the message I sent:

************************************************** *
Greetings,



I and many others do Mods for the Silent Hunter series of Games by UbiSoft.
As you well know, Silent Hunter 5 now uses the Granny System.
We, as a group are looking at starting a fund to buy a Granny License.
If this becomes a reality, could you give me a guideline as to how we could use this.
Do we need to have an established group that is Licensed with a list of approved members?
Any help on guidence you could give me would be of great service.

************************************************** **


We'll see what happens.

It seems to me that also ubi has something to say here. As Ubi usually say nothing about mods, maby if we start to make so powerfull mods, they can see it like a problem as we could be competence for future proyects they could release based in SH5. maby we should also aks Ubi about that before purchase any granny license.
