Starting out modding

Forsith · 08-07-10, 02:12 PM

Hello all,

I am a regular visitor of Subsim since I bought Silent Hunter 5 a while back. Now,I saw that I am not the only one who thinks that this game has some serious issues and is lacking alot of features, though it certainly has it's charms. What I discovered is that for most SH games the modding community is vital to the development of the game, since the developers themselves can't seem to pull it of totally.

Now Im not much of a designer, I'm a programmer (or scripter). And although I can't say that I looked very deeply in the possibilities, I was wondering if there is work that I can do to contribute to a mod or something. As far as I know, no SDK or something similar is released at the time of writing this. I would appreciate it if I can get some guiding lines IF there is work in my segment of development.
