I beg your pardon.

I know that some of the established modders have an ego the size of Australia. But Sailor Steve I used to think YOU were a pretty cool guy. Did you read my post at all, or just skim it, see some things that you did not like and decided I am the next best guy to vent your frustration about .. what actually?

If - as you say - you don't even own Silent Hunter V but my post above gets you that angered, perhaps you should take a break from reading this message board for a while, and the internet in general. Honestly if someone has made 35.000 posts in a single internet forum he should have a check up for internet addiction.

Look, when it becomes the norm that you are entitled to make your first post only if you have read every thread in the last year, internet forums will become reserved for autists. Which is actually what I think is going on lately in a lot of places. Apparently subsim has caught that disease, too.

I compiled a list of all questions / thoughts that conglomerated while I tried out the most popular mods around here, and while I compared the file structure with my knowledge from the other Silent Hunters. Then I made this thread because I thought this would help me to get an overall impression what can be expected in the coming years. My thoughts may not be as advanced as yours but they are also not as noobish and irrelevant as you make them. I still believe some of these questions have never been raised, let alone answered. For example, can you answer me if I can disable the post processing filters in Silent Hunter 5? And where has there ever been discussion about a voice mod that not only copies the same sentences from Das Boot for the 1000th time?

I can come to terms with the fact that my post was uninteresting to the 50 or so people that this use forum most of the time and perhaps I will abstain from posting any more. But if I really ask the same question as hundreds of people before my then why are they not stickied?

You can end this charade any time by sending me a link to one of the many threads that discuss the future potential of SHV Modding capabilties. I tried an advanced search for e.g. 'modding capabilities' in the SH5 forum but that did not bring up much. The closest I got was 'Modding Knowledge Database'
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ding+potential
started by TDW but it ended abruptly after 9 posts.

I already know that you will not agree with me. But think about it, if everyone gets this treatment in this forum you may reach point where your mods are only played by a handful of people.
