Aah.. I hadn't thought of posting oversized pictures (though it did take a few seconds to load on my rig).

The only problem I have (playing the devils advocate here..) is that you can say the same about people who complain about, or want better AI, or more ship imported and on and on.

Even though it is something as small as Dynamic Shadows, it will all add up to a great simulator.

I do have to agree, it is a little ridiculous to post a picture that's almost the same size as an MP3. There's lots of programs that are free and available to convert images to .jpeg format - I think even Windows paint allows you to do that.

Well like I said it's really the first point. ;)

Honestly, if poeple just reduce the size of shots as to eliminate the need for scrolling sideways and stick to posting .jpg, it would solve 99% of the irritations I experience on these boards. Repetetive complaints (or praises) I can deal with just fine without feeling the need to lash out or anything. :lol:

Agreed....many still have dial-up and must suffer even more http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

Agreed....:up: it is a little ridiculous

The fact remains that many are not as Computer savvee as many of us.
I have to give them credit for trying at the very lest.
So a image is large at times?
Point them to an easy to download, simple program.
Not stuff like GIMP and such.
But the PowerToys Image resizer!

Right click and your done!
Then everyone is happy.
This is only for XP as far as I know.

I hung it up for a while as had a couple other games, have reinstalled and the mods out there have made it immensely enjoyable.

I agree with many of the posts re: shadows, ability to access the entire sub, a great deal more immersion, and so on. What got me thinking of another improvement, was this:

One of the things that I eventually grew weary of in SH3 was yet another "go patrol area XX00"; there was nothing more really. SH4 jazzed it up a bit with specific missions. Contrary to the above quote, 5 does add gameplay functionality. For me at least, the campaign and mission structure adds a lot more meaning to patrols (the objectives are another story :haha: but hey, there are mods for that :yeah:).

I fired up SH3 and 4 the other day, they're still on my hdd, and it only took a moment to realize there is no going back for me.

Does this mean I'm fully satisifed with 5? No. I doubt I could stay with it without the mods, but then I could say the same about 3 and 4. I'm still not happy with the DRM.

But ya, still playin' :woot:

The main thing for me?
As a Modder it's the challange to mod SH5.
So I broke the export of models.
Now it's the next step!
How do I change and/or import models?
:hmmm:
I'll not be done until we have a Tool that will do what we want.
:03:

you revived a thread that was 2 and a half months old to say this?
man this forum is getting cluttered with these kinds of threads that have no real purpose.

And you don't know how to read dates do you?..

First off: This is a FREE FORUM. So STOP coming into threads and telling moderators to end it, or calling them useless, etc, etc. People want to post things or discuss things that may seem trivial to you. If you don't like it, you're a click away from not seeing it.

Second: Privateer is one of the foremost modders of Sh5. Unless you feel like insulting someone who may have a dire impact on the direction this game takes, I suggest you:

Jeesh.

P.S: Sorry Arclight, Jimbuna and Co if the image is too big :(

i never read dates... i like about this game... the community! (most of the time=) and it's mods.

I revived nothing Mate.
So point your quotes somewhere else.
And while at it?
Get a real life or something.
You contribute nothing while many of us try.

I also noticed you snipe and run.
Reminds me of Weasels.
So excatlty how old are you?
9? 12?

Neither do I generally read dates.

But if you're gonna say "don't necro a thread".. at least get your accusations straight.

Actually Tonschk revived the thread back in post #62, and while I complain about his .png pictures, there was nothing wrong with him reviving a thread to give another reason why he likes the game.

And when someone does revive a very old thread (which this wasn't) it's customary to make jokes about it, not stamp our feet and demand that people do it the way we like.

Amen to that.
