To be honest, I don't see many differences between modders and developers, the minds and the ideals are the same!

I completely agree, but that's not the point. You weren't around for the time when one player said "The modders have more talent in their little finger than the entire dev team!" I said the modders deserve all the praise they get; it's just that nobody ever says "The game was wonderful and the mods ruined it.":rotfl:
It's always about how the game sucked until this or that mod saved the day. |
Well...what I actually think is that the dev team does a lot of hard work and have a lot of knowledge. But they don't have good taste for things, and they obviously dont care about the little details. They are always producing GAMES, by the company pressure to delivery something easy to be played, and not 100% realistic. The modders on the other hand, aim for realism, aim for the little details, do it for passion and not for money. Not that the dev team do it only for money, coz the Silent Hunter series dev team really love what they are doing, but sometimes they have to distort realism to please the crowd, or to please the company. If the SH dev team had more time, less pressure and were allowed to deliver the final software as they really intended, I'm sure that we would have a lot less things to mod and fix.
Some people criticise ubisoft, but I think that thats the best software company out there. They allow us to fix and mod, while other companies like eletronic arts do a lot more SH!T with their games, and leave only a few doors to modders. Ubisoft have a lot more love and feeling on their simulations then any other company out there.

Honestly I don't remember... But since the post dates november 4th, and I started joined SS at november, yeah that could be my first post. I remember back then, I was desperate to find a tool that I didn't know the name. The tool was the SH3 Tweaker, by timetraveller. Great tool, by the way. Thanks for searching this, good memories!
