:o Where did you hear that? I hope it is not true, because no matter how many ships are included in stock SHIV there is always room for more.:cry:

Moin,

first of all I have to commit that, allthough I prefer the Atlantic theater, Iīve pre-ordered a copy of SHIV. (Shame on me) At least the Pacific War is part of history, so there will be many who are insterested. Besides most of the subsimmers donīt play at 100% and most important issue to care about is eyecandy. Remember all the modding threads. Whenever anything new comes up everybody is asking for more details and better graphics. Iīll stay with SHIII for quite a while, not finshed yet. There are still many things to be done.

Letīs hope there will be space for modding in SHIV. Maybe some parts may be transported/converted to SHIII. Anyway, Iīm looking forward to SHV which will return to the Atlantic, hopefully.

Regards,
DD

Adding Ships to SHIV
 
@ BBW - I am hoping that (as some people in that thread pointed out) this actually means what it meant in SHII and SHIII - that the game was not designed for us to add new ships, but that the ability to do so has not been hardcoded out of our hands. If that is true, then someone will figure it out eventually, although it would definitely be a lot more complicated at the very least, and ships would have to be built with an even greater level of detail. But as long as it is possible, I would be satisfied.

Yor're probably right mate :up:

Time will tell

Hey dont forget us here with SH3

We need ships too
:rotfl:

SHIII Ships
 
Oh don't worry - I won't be leaving SHIII.:know: I don't know if that will matter though, as a lot of people probably will leave this game (hopefully not too many, but I know there will still be some) and there will soon be dozens of high-quality merchants available from iambecomelife.:up: But I will stick around and mod some more anyway.:hmm:

You should see how youre creation is doing BBW

it just gets better everyday.

Now she is looking as beautiful as she fights.

I am likely to have 3 & 4 coexistent on my system.

I love the whole subject not just the campaigns.

I agree with Venatore DD... that gif is cool. Can I use it in a sig DD? With credit to you of course. :yep:

Tho I'm not a modder, I've said before that I'm not getting SH4 for awhile and will remain true to SHIII. One day I can see one of my HDDs with nothing but SHIII mods on it. ;) Once SH4's bugs are worked out of it and the price comes down, then I more than likely will get it. Tho until that day I'll keep watch of how things go with SH4.

For now with prospectively large house payments coming soon, I won't be able to afford getting the goodies as I have in the past. Priorities rue the day. :damn: LOL

Thanks mate. I only asked to be curtious and not get into trouble. ;)

Ducimus 03-12-07 04:56 PM

As for adding ships to SHIV, my hope is that they don't make it so you can't add more, but put a hard limit on how many you can add - for game performance reasons.

RDDR 03-13-07 02:39 AM

Really glad to hear these positive comments from modders.
I'm new on this forum but have been playing SHIII for quite a while and after a few rocky starts and stops (ie) damaged hard drive etc etc... however with some great help from members of the community I'm all repaired, patched up and in for the long haul.
I really love this sim and know more historically about the Atlantic War than the Pacific.
That said, really looking forward to SHIV as well, and hope that some new mods will be created that can be used in both theatres as the game engine is pretty close from what I'm told.
I have enough space with two large hard drives,and it's my plan to have both theatres loaded and ready to go.:yep:

If your pardon the expression, i get the distinct impression most of the long time modders here have pretty much blown their wad and probably don't have much of a desire to do it all over again
That is exactly the reason why I never did any mod for SH3. I started developing some concepts and made suggestions for implementations which saw later the light thanks to other modders, f.e. in the Milk Cows mod, but I had spent so many hours learning SH2/DC and modding them that I was simply exhausted and with no will to start again from scratch. And such attitude is not only from me, but you can also see that except sergbuto, the vast majority of the former SH2 modders did not make it to SH3. All the significant and outstanding modders like many of the guys who have posted here, were never in SH2. Will you be in SH4? Only time will tell, but my experience says that the majority will not cross the bridge:nope: . But even after SH3 was released I still did some mods for SH2, which were possibly some of the best jobs done -like the revamped version of Rossbach's Artic campaign generator- and I bet some of you guys will still release a few mods that will be icing the cake :up:

I agree totally with your post Hitman.
The mod work was the more time consuming task that I ever made in my life. Were two years, almost all the days over the PC adjusting this or that. Sleeping few hours per day and in debit with my family. These were the bad side. Ah, I have also a little more paunch now! LOL

The nice side is that obviously these two years were also my best experience with computer and war games that i had until now. And this also makes me happy, I like computers and WWII games very much, it's really a hobby for me.
But I will retire from mod SH4 for the exactly same motives above. I just want to play the game, use mods from others and make new things on my life again.

Like you said, others will make the job now. And I'm sure that will be as good or even better job as the community did in SH2 and in Sh3!:know:
