No list of the modders and their mods that were approved for the add-on? You would think that anyone especially a company, would defend themselves with a full list of these things and not just a single link regarding sounds which really weren't in question. X1 probably doesn't have such a list having thrown out the previous list when they were caught red-handed and now have no clue what is really in there since they scrambled to pick out pieces at the last minute. A shoddy well done to you :up: .

As posted in the Seewolves thread by me. (You know I just wanna flash my banner)

Affected modders note: FYI, X1's package is being sold on Amazon Germany.

Amazon.de's contact page is here.

That's not a full list. Every single change should have its own credit. X1 provides a list of 8 or 9 credits covering vast swathes of data. It's not a proper credit list - the AOTD logo credit is nowhere, and the credit for the 'Sperrbrecher' escorts is nowhere. X1's so-called 'credit list' is a hastily-compiled list of general changes, and much stuff is missing. There should be much more detail. A proper credit list looks more like this:

Dulcimus, if I did misunderstand (and I really hope I did misunderstand you) I apologize.

Otherwise, that sounds quite "off the cuff" with nothing offered to back it up.

Trombke, my tool, would you or your associates like to post any more pornography here?

Thanks for playing.

:rotfl:

The mere fact that you've resorted to posting here is rather hilarious. It indicates that even 'anonymous' threats from an Internet forum are causing you pain. Perhaps you aren't making the sales you wish your poorly developed payware mod would.

In any event, I have nothing to hide.

I think you meant "whining" or "losing". I prefer the latter.

WULFPAK 09-28-05 12:15 PM

Why not have someone represent the modders from this community,
contact UBI directly, and provide the next SH3 Uber-Uboat Update in the correct fashion?

This would do the following things:

1. End X1's hold on this market (stop loss strategy vs. litigation)
2. Provide a legit channel for modders and Subsim to get recognized and potentially recompensed
3. Provides an upgrade patch path that X1 cannot provide
4. Provide TONS of missions (online and multipay)
5. Raise awareness of the online community

And if UBI doesnt go for it, contact a sim magazine and see if they will their CDs that are attached to their magazines.

Im thinking that the release of mods for free need to be done in such a way that if they are wrongfully repackaged for sale, that there be encyrpted tags within the data, or install exes with known MP5 hash codes that make it much harder for them to be redistributed.

Food for thought.


And if X1 is reading this post, great. So you know Capitalism works both ways. If you dont own the source of the IP, then you have a dead end product line. No updates for your SW product apart from the missions and campaigns produced by CP. Im pretty sure that even CP is done with working with X1 in the future.

SteamWake 09-28-05 01:04 PM

I think x1 got the go ahead from Ubi.

Now wether or not Ubi knew what they were doing is another question.

The Improved U-boat mod is unrelated to X1's priracy. Its the genuine article. X1's a rip off. However, the compiled version that the Improved U-boat mod is, - is a direct slap in the face of everyones favorite pirates.

Its there saying "Hey, you can get the exact same thing here, and you dont have to pay for it!" I think this recent post by Xi (if genuine), show's that they didnt like that much.

And i love that alot :)

ReM 09-28-05 05:12 PM

Here we are again, discussing this product, made of stolen mods......
And X1 and the Seawolves get more views here than they would ever have had in the 'real' world.

Just accept the fact that he's living on the same planet we are and leave him be........by ticking off so many people here and even showing some X rated content here, that's exactly what he deserves.

For all those people that want the optimize their SHII: they should know where to get the mods for free like they were supposed to....you can't miss it!
