That task is actually underway, the problem is that the guy(s) who have taken responsibility for that seem to be not on track (I might be wrong here). AFAIK we have permissions from most if not all model contributors for SCX to use their models in the LwAmi Mod. The "only" thing left is the actual work. With the features already in DW (Multistation and so on) plus the stuff from SCX and everything that has been developed for DW till now (legally that is), the resulting mod and thus the game experience will easily surpass SCX (just for clarification, I'm talking bout SCX and not about the SCU tool which was an "AddOn" for it).

Still on sea duty Ramius. You should pick me up somehow, I am a good cook. :yep:

LWAMI has permission to use Deepsix's and Xabba's models, which isn't all of them, but it's a very sizeable chunk...

My latest update on this was posted here. There wasn't any response to that (other than your posts about mod integration, OS), so I have nothing new to report on either track.

Sorry I missed that me idiot :damn:

Actually I thought that LWAMI's focus was not as expanded as to include what SCX originally featured.

Anyway, there are some improved 3D models from SCX that would make the game look much better and can be swapped directly with no problems, f.e. the Kilo.

I have a cleaned up version of my Kilo Scope and Binocs, I will see to pack them and send them to you for inclusion in the next LWAMI if there is a chance :ping:

Thanks

I can't speak directly for SCX, but to me it was like an "expansion pack" that added more platforms from other navies, improved graphics, and added a few gameplay changes as well (TA breaks, UTK detonations, etc.). LWAMI was more focused on fixing things that were broken with DW (sound-speed relationship, air defense, helo dipping....). I don't know if "expanded to include" covers what was going on because the mods' changes aren't in a single dimension.

If work resumes, I'll be happy to include it.

Something just hit me I was playing Call of Duty 2 and noticed that the Binoculars in that game come with dirt and scraches. Wouldn't it be neat if there was a binoc/scope mod for DW that added water drops on the lendse?

It can be done, but the problem is that the 16k colour depth and the lack of Alpha channels would make it look bad and the water drops would also never be translucent :damn:

Hello there old chaps. :arrgh!:

I just wanted to give a thank you to the SCX crew that popped up. You guys made SC great. Your dedication, time, and attention to detail kept SC alive and gave me many hours of awesome multiplayer action. If I reccall correctly, the diversity of weapons available to the Akula made playing the Russians so awesome.

Thank you for everything, and sorry posting here makes everyone jump at you to make more stuff, lol

This topic made me fire up DW again. Spend the last two evenings hunting subs with the OHP :) The Perry is so much fun to play. Altough sometimes I wish Sonalysts would have made a more dediacted ASW ship instead...

On that note, was there any word from Sonalysts lately? Is there still a chance that they continue with games someday or have they closed this branch forever?

No word I know about, at least not here.
