#3 Whomever: figured out the changes to the Cmd.cfg file that stop "ENTER" Key from firing fish,& got TCx1 =s Npad Enter,for ease of play.:up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :up:

Hmmm tricky to choose one, so I won't I'll pick a top 10:

Captain Cox: All his mods are good quality.
Ducimus: TM.
Oakgroove: Great Dials.
Tater: campaign layers and just plain enthusiasm.
Beery: for RFB.
Anvart: for general troubleshooting and in depth stuff..
Kosh: stealth sub - sounds are important too
Redwine: for die slowely
Wernersobe: for realistic sinkings
mcoca: for his automated campaign editing tool...

I should add that graphics type mods add to the immersion but we shouldn't forget beery and tater who spend most their time trawling through masses of data fixing things, editing things, bringing things together...

I will quote Leo here...

Quote:

I can't choose between any of them! For me anyone who makes the game we all enjoy better is a winner no matter if you use their MOD or not.

Pat yourself on the back guys your all winners in my eyes!!!

For me there are a few guys here that would deserve this.

Ducimus
Beery
LeoVampire
Oakgroove
Anvart
Redwine
DivingDuck (This guys teached me A LOT! maybe more up for a SH3 award ;))
l3th4l (not around much these days, but we had some fun)
Jimimadrid
Darship
FooFighter/Boris (beautiful skins)
This list could be one page... ;)

But as Leo said so well.
All the guys here poking, digging, renlentlessy trying and not giving up, you all deserve this I think :)

@ Neal...common man, how about 20 T-shirts...or so for all the GOOD GUYS AROUND HERE!

The top modding contributions that have made groundbreaking progress in SH4 are really:

Quote:

- Captain Cox (ill bet you all use a TON of his original work)

- Leovampire (his work on the scene.dat is second to none, and is a giant leap forward for SH4)

- Oakgroove (awesome texture artist and his sub instrument mod is a big leap forward for Sh4)

- Anvart (simply because he got the periscope to work right, and if he hadnt stepped it, this immersion factor would be broken.. probably for about as long as Matresss style radar units in SH3 were broken.. in other words, for years!)

My vote is for one of them. I just can't figure out who. I'll edit my post later when i make up my mind.

As an aside, i dont think anyone should vote for me, at all. All i ever did was round up a bunch of mods, and intergrate them into a modpack. About the only original work ive ever done outside from tweaking a file here or there is

- Bungo pete,
- German Uboat mod
- a map contacts mod.

None of which is hardly groundbreaking in any way, unlike the modders i've already mentioned above. So don't vote for me. I don't deserve it.

EDIT:

As much as i love LeoVampires mod, and his mod IS arguably the greatest single mod made, im going to have to cast my vote for Captain Cox. For proof of his contributions, one need look no further then a sticky post:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=118341

He is the most prolific modder here, has contributed the most mods, all of them good pieces of work.

this reflects my thoughts as well but i say ducimus should still be concidered because assmbly and testing his mod was as much work as most of the mods he included.

i would like to add a little known name that i think will soon be THE name we think of for modding sh4, Skywasjer, he has created a tool that is about to be released next week that revolutionalizes how we can mod sh4. no more mini tweaker or tweak files needed ever. have a look at this post to see what i am refering to:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=119571

if i had 2 shirts to give it would be Captain Cox for his mods and Skywasjer for his tool

Hard to pick one,evey mod brings something to the game.Supermod or no supermod,this game would be hard to play whitout their work..

But given this opportunity i would like to give jace11 a :up: for fixing the CDT,that was a real game killer for me and im sure many more captains out there:D

I know! We could do like the Saturn commercials and make them send a single t-shirt around to each modder on a schedule until the shirt is worn out. Please wash before forwarding the shirt. No, you cannot e-mail a shirt. :up:

IMHO all the modders that support this game deserve a standing ovation:up: . Sh4 has turned into much more than what vanilla was because of the hard work of all these guys have put into it. Sometimes we forget that while we are enjoying the fruits of their labor, they most likely are working on something new, not enjoying the game w/ their spare time. BIG CUDOS TO ALL YOU MODDERS.

Now my vote:
MODDER: CAPTIAN COX Every time I log onto theses forums I look to see if there is anything new from him. I never leave port w/o his mods.
INDIVIDUAL MOD: LIVING BREATHIN OCEAN by LEOVAMPIRE Words cant describe what this mod does for the immersion factor of the game.
UTILITY: JONESOFT'S GENERIC MOD ENABLER Without this great utility, alot of us might not even be able to run all these mods without messing up our installation of the game.:oops:

My first vote go to LeoWampire and the second to OakGrove.

WOW!!! I mean damn "Pick Just One?" I don't use just one mod so it would be stupid for me to try to pick "just one". :rotfl:

Well I have given this a lot of thought and here is that thought. :know:

There is a ONE that has made this game better by ALL accounts. Most every modder here has recommended his "mod" to the community. I am referring to the creator of JSGME, JScones I think it is. How would/could we put all of these wonderful mods into the game without JSGME. :up: :up: :up:

Yes, I know one can manually install, but would you really want to do that? My one vote goes to JSGME. :arrgh!:

My vote goes to the Romanian team that brought us these subsims in the first place for which there wouldn't be a need for modders. The cause and effect, if you will.

Deciding who is the best modder is like deciding who of the Trinity is the best :hmm: (not to put too lofty a point on it) You're all great.

Having loads of fun with Trigger Maru, although my vote goes to LeoVampire actually for his awesome graphic mod.

I would have to say my opinion is a bit biased as I have not tried the larger mods like TM or RFB. I'm ok with vanilla version at the moment. With that said, I do have some texture mods and OAKGROOVES texture mod has really brought this together from me. Simply outstanding work!

It would be hard for me to vote for one of the "Super MODS" only because the work of several MODS make up the great work as a whole.
So for a single MOD that has really added to the WOW factor, I have to vote for
leovampire for the Living Breathing Ocean MOD. :up:

Not that I'm even close to being versed with the all the mods out there but - the green pressed buttons just did it for me. So much frustration without it.... the SH4 Toolbar "Lamp" mod is my vote.
