Looking for an ace modder to take over the SH4 Scene!

Well after a long haul with the SH4 Scene.dat I must say that it has a few problems still that need to be ironed out but I have lost interest and would like to move on!
Is there a charasmatic modder that is willing to take on the job, I do feel that there is a lot that can be done to improve it. I would like work to continue on both the 8k & 16k versions, any files relating to this will be supplied.
Cheers.

Now that is truly a surprise to my eyes, Reece!

Not a single, qualified soul came forward?

Heck, I'd love to carry the burden for you, Reece, except my knowledge of SH3 modding is summed up in two volumes titled "Diddly" and "Squat".

I wish there was a sub-forum or sticky for those who want to learn the finer points of SH3's file structures, modding techniques, and modding tools to have lessons and tutorials from all of you talented veterans.

Take a break if you need to, Reece. You've definitely earned it!

Actually I know squat too when it comes to serious modding and I'm too lazy at the moment to learn hex editing. I'm hoping Silent 3ditor from skwas is going to be finished soon. Glad your back Reece.

Hi Reece,

This is an area I know nothing about. I'm sorry I'm unable to help. As soon as I saw the word "Ace Modder" in your title, I knew that counted me out :rotfl:

Can you explain what your trying to achieve so I can further my knowledge in this area :hmm:

Im starting to mess around with scene files now, never did it before. But why don't you talk to OLC? Im pretty sure he knows more about scene.dat then anyone of us, and I think he might be interested!

I'm already getting help from OLC Philipp! He is not interested in the SH4 scene, understandably, since he has his version of the SH3 scene done, also there are quite a few differences that make either unique, also some of the problems require quite a lot of time hex editing etc, gets ya down sometimes! But I'm back on again!

I like your scene very freaking much, everything is soooo beautiful and full of collors. I just don't know if its realistic. OLC's scene seems to be very realistic. I really don't know which to choose when playing. Sometimes I enable one, sometimes the other.

Tell me, since you're porting SH4 stuff into SH3, did you find a way to make the water transparent like in SH4? It's probably hardcoded, right...

Hi Reece

I wonder if your use of the words 'ace' and 'charismatic' were perceived as a little too daunting for some people


@SpeedyPC

I shouldn't bother sending your CV to Bletchley Park

I agree.
Your work is one of the best I've seen. Sea and sky looks so real like I should be in the U-boot bridge.
If your mod can be improved, excellent! Take you time!
