You guys kill me! OK - I am going to through out a couple of other names that I haven't seen:

Timetraveller and Nvdrifter.

Without the sh3/4 mini tweaker and the tweakfiles that have been created, many of us smaller modders wouldnt be able to do any modding at all. My understanding of things is limited - but thanks to these 2 - I can mod a number of things that wouldn't be otherwise accessible. These two folks really opened the door for some of us to change things, and in so doing, have really contributed alot to the success of other mods.

Things like RFB or TM that change the time your gun loads - even simple changes like that were made easy by these two guys. They deserve to be recognized.

Note - alot of other fine modders already listed - and I can't give you all a t-shirt - but I can say thanks again!

In the short run - There you have it! Few if any can narrow it down to one. With the two Super mods set aside. I do not think anyone just uses 1 mod. I can appreciate your desire to bestow some measure of recognition on someone for a "Job Well Done".

However, My feeling is that all the Modders are Artist and Craftsmen, their craft or art is way beyond my comprehension.
Some of the mods are obviously labors of love and some are done by folks, just because they know how. Still I can't see trying to make all these mods just for the Hal-i-but. So there must be some love there as well.

And what about you, Neal? I figure you got your shirts, but what about the recognition for a "Job Well Done". You deserve a big note of recognition. Where would we be without you? It must be a major pain in the task to keep this site up to the quality most take for granted, but have come to expect. Thank You.

I can not preceive the Modders as potato chips "Bet You Can't Pick Just One." No modder on this forum has denied me help when I screwed up their mod or couldn't get it to work right. Sometimes when I look at a mod, I feel like I did when I went to my first really good art museum. I am in awe because I am in the presence of masters. My thought "How The Hell Did They Do That?"

I am certain everyone here appreciates what you are trying to do. But unless you got alot of shirts man, I really do not see how "Just One" could be placed above the rest.

I have already stated my vote, but I wanted everyone to know that in my eyes there are No second best here, Only number 1s across the board. Do with this post as you wish. I have had my say. :up:

PS Thanks for moving the make a donation button, please read my post in the make a donation thread and PM me an alternative. Thank You.

I say, screw Neals competition! Either we all get a Tshirt, or he can take his single T shirt and use it for a rag the next time he changes his oil!

I think Ducimus and Beery each deserve a shirt for their all-in-one mod packs. Even if not all the content was their own, it takes a good amount of work to put them all together and testing the compatibility.

Anyway, for individual mods I'll nominate OakGroove. Pretty interiors!

I haven't played SH4 in a while but when I did I LOVED Trigger Maru!!! :rock:

Ha! let's not make this complicated :sunny:

There are dozens of great modders, but only 10 shirts. Nominate the modder who made a tweak you like.

Captain Cox ! Pulls you into the era and sets the mood. :yep:

Well I think all the modders that put in all those long hard hours giving up their time freely to make the game better for those of us who don't even know how to start, should win!

But of course it can't be like that :(


That said, I've got to vote for LeoVampire's LBO mod. On the surface, it's "simple" in that it doesn't change or "improve" the gameplay in any way shape or form.

But it is unbelievably complex in the amount of work it took to do that (I'm sure) and as far as suspension of disbelief, well the 1st time I ran it I was tripping over my jaw as it dragged the floor :rock: Looking at those gorgeous waves, for the 1st time I feel like I'm really standing on the bridge of a Balao class boat and not sitting behind a keyboard.

I was a TC junkie before LBO, now it hurts to leave the bridge and go to TC.

Leo and LBO gets my vote :up:

First, my thanks and respect to all the talented modders that have made the game so much fun to game with. A very tough request to make a choice from such a truely fine bunch of people who are the top of the line gamers and community members. :up:

My vote goes to Ducimus for Trigger Maru...:yep:

Only 10 T shirts are up for grabs!!!

Give 'em to the modders that have constantly contributed towards the massive improvements and realism to make it all that more enjoyable for the subbie community as a whole. Don't forget the Geniuses that created mod installers, tweak programs and any other program to help make things easier for us.

Ooops, there are only 10 so I won't give my preferences as all these guys deserve one. :yep:

Does my choice earn a Tshirt as well :lol:

I vote for more t-shirts to give out to more deserving modders in the community :)

Looks like just about anyone who I would nominate has already been nominated! But I guess I do have to nominate a modder or two though.

1) Ducimus + all of the modders who contributed to TM ubermod.
2) Capt'n Cox for importing the imperial bearing mod to SH4. THE ONLY MOD THAT I COULD NOT PLAY WITHOUT! (oh yea and for all of his other quality mods :) ).

Edit: for those of us who are unlikely to win... is there anywhere where we can actually buy one of those sweet t-shirts?

AHhh, The old KISS ploy (Keep It Simple Stupid) request from Neal "don't complicate". :up: I can live with that. It just so happens at the moment I am using mods, tweaks or tools from ten people. So in No paticular order.

10 it is Sir, as requested. Disclaimer: My list in NO way lessens my respect for Anyone who creates a mod, skin or tool that makes this game better. You are all A#1s in my book. I do not consider this list as voting twice. As usual I didn't understand the rules.:oops:

Aye!! The classic beauty contest. In true, King Soloman, fashion...cut the shirts in half. :hmm:

:D

Simple, give ALL modders a shirt, then give them part of the royalties, because without them this game would have been DOA.

Mod nominations
 

My nominations are:

1) Anvart for the Periscope fix, reversed propellers fix and the US torpedo bomber fix
2) Leovampire for making the ocean even more realistic.
3) CaptainCox for all the work on various immersion mods (medals, uniforms, radio etc)
