Although Dave would happily have given them ROW for nothing in order to help others, I think it unlikely that Ubisoft's legal department would authorize inclusion of software that was not created in house.

Didn't they use some of Dave's stuff in 1.4 :hmm:

When I installed that patch, I thought the same thing. I think Ubi just took the idea and made it their own with their own programming.

What Dave told me was the devs said the files helped them with months of work that they did not have to look into for patch 1.4. So yes, apparently some of Dave's ideas got into the patch.

Well, patch 1.5 should be a dedication to Dave's work and memory. They can take ROW and add it so it will also work with the new add-on. Surely Ubi can do something special for the fans of the mod and game.

AVG is quite correct. Dave had a very good relationship with the Devs regarding ROW. Ubisoft did not in any way just take ROW and use it. I believe you'll also find that Dave is credited in the Add On.

ReallyDedPoet · 01-10-08, 10:27 AM

Yes this is my understanding

, Dave had a great relationship with the Devs., he respected them, this went both ways. Also, it was the Devs., and not UBI that he dealt with right?

Correct, Sir.

I've looked at the scene.dat as per his request and there seemed to be one error in the file (which was created with an earlier version of S3D, combined with minitweaker). Dave PM'ed and posted in my thread about it. I replied to him but that was his last post regarding S3D so this never got any follow-up.

While I don't know the impact of the error, I will have a look at it again next week and see if I can fix it. I am not a very talented modder, I have never touched the game files other for S3D testing purposes. But I hope that after I fix the file, someone else can have a look at what the impact of the bug was.

Dave definately wouldn't want ROW development to die down, so it is up to ALL of us to take his work and make it work for subsequent patches or addons. We can't let it go...!

Indeed Skwasjer, there is in truth enough talent lying about the
place to continue or finish the work. its just that no one else took
it up the same way or had quite the same passion for it.

Im still an optimist.

Its an interesting feeling to have to point out that its a real photo, not an in-game shot. Yes, Dave, your work is that good!

WOW! You are right. Had you posted that pic in a screencapture contest, it might or might not have won, but it is highly probable that no one would have questioned its authenticity as a ROW screencapture! ROW is just that good! The pic deserves to be shown here directly [hope you don't object...

This was really sad to hear about Dave's passing, so young.
My thoughts to/with his family.

Installed ROW when it was out and the work he did is astonishing.

R.i.P. Dave..........

Can you spot the periscope?

His name and his memory will be honored here for as long as subsim exists. His talent and generosity existed in equal measure.

Good bye, Dave, and many thanks for your nice work on SH4.
