this is how they should do Silent Hunter

Nobody here will probably believe it, but for awhile, between my normal RL job, and modding at night, i was having 18 to 20 hour days for a week or two at a time.

One reason why i never tried to form an official team with TMO.

I do believe it, that's why I wrote post #6.

It would be so great if you guys could work on it as a full time job.

But that's probably just impossible, seems like there's way too much dissent and/or legal issues.

I wish. I'm probably more skilled at tweaking SH 3/4 then i am at my RL job by now. Not saying i know everything, (far from it) but after awhile, i felt like i was working on a 2nd unpaid job. It's like i've acquired this useless job skill that has no value anywhere in the real world.

Depends on the people involved. JU_88 might be referring to all the people of the "old guard" in modding. Those are personalities that have been around awhile and have formed longstanding opinions about each other and their work. So lots of sillyness there. I saw more cooperation with SH4 modders. Lots of cross pollination of ideas and mods, admitidly, regardless of forum, there's always mod politiics involved to some degree. I've always had to think about what im saying to others so as to not step on their toes and cause friction. Not saying their touchy, i just think that's just the nature of a modding community in general.

@Ducimus

I have no idea what would be the solution, but...

If I can do anything to support the genre, I will.

No matter ATO or PTO (even if I have a preference for ATO, and hopefully with wolfpacks).

And who knows, maybe someday I'll be tired of ATO and will discover new aspects of PTO..

But you see , your work is appreciated by tens of thousands of people in the real world .

Too true. I haven't actually played Sh4 in what feels like years. Tested/modded yeah, played, no. It just isn't fun when you know the game inside and out.
