Contribution to chaos can not be better simulated than such a patronizing manner being shown here. I doubt that anyone really needs this. What most of the people have in common here is a disturbance that good modders are being lost one by one. People have the right to ask questions with meaning no offence and if those who have been here for a while are tired enough for not being able to give answers without offence can just ignore and step aside. I kindly ask you to do the same.

My answers were requests for self restraint, and contained no offense, at least initially, and never without good intentions.

"...can just ignore and step aside. I kindly ask you to do the same."

You got it, I'm finished for now. Too bad you can't follow your own advice.

Dig away, but don't cry if it bleeds.

hey u-bones why u getin so upset about this? none of these queries were directed at u and since u readily admit u know NOTHING about the situation then maybe u would be better not responding or if u cant restrain yourself not even looking at this thread!

i have yet to buy this game as im waitin to see what happens with patch 1.3 thats if there is one. although there are lots of minor mods there are only two major ones, this one and RFB. as beery just said both offer different styles of play and im only showing concern that it appears we've lost one of the modmakers to "unknown" reasons. ive been on these forums since before SH2 was released and am still amazed at how serious and bitchy some of these mod dudes can be (and that means noone in particular:roll: ).

but hey thats life, put it this way, if u were in a bar havin a drink with friends and someone disagreed with u would u instantly leave the bar without givin a reason? maybe u would who knows but id find that strange, just as i find this strange.

so just calm down man:up:

ENOUGH!

Some morbid curiousity made me click here, and oh well, i guess i should have expected rampant speculation. Then again, im not even sure why i should care.


I did not steal anything from GWX. My reasons for leaving are many, but none of them involve any theivery from GWX. The straw that broke the proverial camels back was removed from the ethics thread, so you can stop looking. I will not state my reasons, because it will only stoke a fire.

So yes, im serious about it this time. Otherwise i woudlnt have offered my modpack up for grabs. Its my hope that somebody unaffiliated takes the ball and runs with it. If i continue to mod, it will not be on this forum. I have to admit ill miss alot of the community here, but so long as certain aspects of this community remain, there will always be some sort of strife. I, was, and probably still am, a part of those aspects that create the strife on this forum, just by my very existance here. My parting thought: Don't allow yourself to be manipulated by others, and never take sides.

Oh yes, Tmaru 1.2

Good luck, and good hunting. Im off to find a new hobby for awhile. Ive got everything installed on my system from World of warcraft, to Doom3, to Diablo 2, to rome TW, something will grab my attention. At the least i have a new book to read, "silent running" by James calvert. I was looking for ned beach novels, but Borders didnt have any. Guess i should have gone to Barnes and Nobels.

It's too bad there is always this petty friction between mod teams, it really reflects badly on all involved. Each side thinks they are right, and only defending themselves. They don't like it when a forum moderator attempts to keep them in line but they are the first to complain the moderator is not doing anything to check the other guy's remarks. It's impossible to referee this situation, and many good men have checked out: Der Teddy Bar, Observer, nvDrifter, and now Mr. SH4 Mod himself, Ducimus.

I wonder where the professionalism of mod teams like Pacific Aces went?

Yeah, I know, it's the other guy's fault...

I wish you success, Ducimus, I've enjoyed talking with you. You have my personal invitation to return any time you wish, no explanations needed. There will always be people here to welcome you. :yep:

Neal

I know a bit more than nothing, and never said otherwise. Read more carefully ? Quote more accurately ? OK, thanks.

And like you, I read and comment on whatever I like. I simply asked for restraint and was rejected. I'm dead calm, before and after.

Enjoy your game.

Yeah, here is one.

Here is another:up:

RDP

Ducimus - good luck and good hunting. Thank you for the Trigger Maru mod (and its forerunner Flavored To Taste - FTT). It has made my submarine career in the Pacific much better!

And just like in the ol' Motel 6 commericals....I am sure the "light will be left on for you"....except during air raid alerts or enemy naval activity! Cheers! :D

Add one more. :up: Thanks man!

And another one here. We'll miss you.:yep:

fair comment ducimus, its a shame your shuttin up shop cos your mod was shapin up very nicely indeed. Neal listed a pretty impressive list of modding talent there without guys like u and them SH4 will die a slow death. u seemed very commited and enthused about your mod up until a few days ago so its disapointing that you're letin whatever these guys said to get to u but thats your call i guess

hopefully you will change your mind at some point

You're acting freaking childish that's all. You may be a great modder - and I personally always speak the best about your work - but part of you acts like a spoilt 5 year old kid. And you're not alone.

There I said it - I am sure many here share my opinion but are too politically correct to actually say it :cool:

Am I missing something here on installing this. I put the mod in the MODS folder and then activate it. After that when I start a new carreer I have no reference telling me that the mod is working. Everyone says that the pear harbor start date is dec 8, I am starting on dec 10, there is still a crosshair on the binoculars, the missions seem to be exactly the same as stock, controls are all the same such as "B" is not working as a hotkey for battlestations, etc. Everything seems to still be stock. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry sir, but you are out of line and I have to call you on this one. This guy has done for FREE what we all paid UBI $50.00+ to do. Out of a sense of responsibility, well deserved pride, or the goodness of his heart he has given us a playable game that I am rapidly falling in love with. It is all due to his hard work and the sacirfice of his family time.

Ducimus can stay, go, whatever and we have no right to criticize his choices. Our chioce should be, and mine certainly is, is to thank him for his efforts and wish him well.
