SHIII models in SHIV, and vice versa
 

Yes, I imagine Ubisoft wouldn't want the features of their brand new game ported to an older game which has already gained most of its sales for the company (which would be a perfectly reasonable position, IMO). I agree with you about the opposite though - SHIII has been out for a long time now, and taking things from it to improve the new game shouldn't be a moral problem (although a legal one, which just may annoy them although I don't think so).

Ah, Yes. I see your point.
But like Religion and Politics, I won't debate there. :yep:
Time seems to handle ethics.
I recall the great debate over Survivors in SH3
but that went out the window REAL quick
once it was announced SH4 would have them.
Now we find you can blow em to the next Life?
I wonder how many Survivors have been Gunned down so far?

Matzeesn,
Yes I just renamed German subs to US subs.

Badhat17 to be honest with you, comparing SH3 to SH4 is like comparing an older lady of 65 to a young chick of 21 there is no compression :) at least graphically speaking lol.

3d models from SH3 though they look better in SH4 are still much more inferior to SH4 3d models not just the textures.

You right, you didn’t say illegal ok but what did you meant then by saying and I quote you “so I would tread carefully guys.” Like I said if there is going to be an issue they sure will let us know. As far as I can see their work is been reused and I repeat reused in their new game.

It’s more concerning about people pirating SH4 game than actually porting 3d models from an older game to new game. And if they say it is illegal than how can you tell if someone modifies original SH3 3d models and call it his own. From my own experience it can be easily done. And believe me if they forbid people to port SH3 3d models then you’ll see many of them pirated I mean modified and called as someone else’s 3d models.

PS Why the negative thinking what will be will be for now let’s have fun modding SH4 and leave speculations alone or to official UBI judgment.

I must admit I am keen to gauge Ubi's reaction to all of this - be it positive or negative.

Only time will tell I guess. ;)

Right now, we are all Moles.
Anyone Remember the game Whack A Mole?
We are just popping up and waiting to be whacked!
:rotfl: :rotfl:

Well I hope UBI will be reasonable I own all Il2 series up to IL1946, SH3 and SH4 I paid for all of my games and I respect copyrights. So I hope they’ll make the just decision after all aren’t we all just having fun with SH4 here?

Personally I don’t see SH4 been hurt financially by modding it. I think if it wasn’t for modding SH3 it would be a dead game a long time ago. The exception is IL2 if the developers didn’t supported IL2 on a regular basis by means of free upgrades and retail add-ons. I don’t think it would have lasted long without any mods.

So I truly think that porting ships from SH3 to SH4 benefits all new players, old players, all modders and UBI.

If they say no then I’m sure many people will collect petitions to allow public porting of SH3 objects to SH4 :)


If not then people would still do it be it in private communities or by other means like modifying original SH3 ship so it would not be recognizable as SH3 original ship.

Well, here's my stance.
Tell me NO MORE, I dump the games and move to another
like Neverwinter or such.
I do it for the modding and I pay the money.
Don't want my money?
No problem.
Plenty of games out there to mod.
I'm not makeing a dime and don't care.
Ubi gains kudos and bucks as they should!!!
If it was not for the modders here before me,
Ubi would never have done SH4 anyway.
I've had SH3 since the day it came out
and just came back in December or so
cause of the GW team!!!
Not Ubi!!!
So Ubi got my 50+ dollars
for SH4 because of the mod work!!!

so is this mod to develop further more, or what? what does your statement mean? who cares about such strange things like ubi might have a problem with modding sh4, getting it to a german scenario???

im sorry, but these thoughts are a kind of stupid. so come on and lets get this party started!

:rock:

It would be better to make little confusion and more job.
The Mod they render the games famous.
They demonstrate the interest of the public.
And the demonstrated technical aspect, from the modders, can be used for one next creation.
Two head thinks more about one.

BEST REGARDS
UBOAT234

:hmm:

As it seems SH4 models CAN be imported into SH3
Yamoto already done by a Chinese modder

I will now buy SH4
Wasnt going to as no interest in PTO and my rig wont play the game

So now Ubi will have my £30 for a game I cant play but that I can use the models from

:rotfl:
