[REL]Venatore's SHV Mod Bunker


Venatore's Mission Statement
Create & distribute mods for free to the Silent Hunter 5 PC Gaming Community in order to transform the current simulation from a children's arcade game to a hardcore WWII German U-boat strategic simulation

• My name is Venatore, I'm an independent modder who started developing & delivering mods to the Silent Hunter III community in 2005. I developed a system on SubSim so as to contain all my my in one thread & this was called "Venatore's Drive Through". In the end I had produced 88 mods in total. These mods encompassed audio SFX files, skinning TGA files on both crew uniforms & the external & internal TGA files for U-boats.

• I mainly dabble in the audio & eye candy department of the Silent Hunter simulation, I am not experienced enough to create objects within the game itself, I leave that up to the more talented modders of the SubSim community.

VENATORE'S MODDING ETIQUETTE

• PERMISSIONS:- When delivering mods incorporating other modders work I will ensure that I have sought permission prior to the mod being uploaded onto Subsim. If; in the event that I was unsuccessful in seeking out the creator of the original mod I will ensure that I mention both in the thread & Readme documentation contained within the mod that I state that I was not the original creator of the mod.

• If you want to incorporate a mod that was created by me I ask that you contact me via the SubSim PM to seek permission.

• MOD LAYOUT:- I will ensure my mods are thoroughly tested by me prior to uploading so as check that the file structure pathway is correct & compatible with JSGME.

• LINKED MODS INDEX:- Acknowledgment goes to "Carotio" for providing advice about linking the mod post to the index ..... Thank you "Carotio" with helping me provide a user friendly one-stop mod thread layout for the Silent Hunter V community members.

Kind Regards

Venatore

U-Boat Reports & Returns [R & R]

• These documents are for those Silent Hunter community members who want to add a different dimension to the simulation. The Reports & Returns [R & R] are documents that I created to help record U-Boat resource usage during war patrols.

• The documentation contained within the Reports & Returns are as follows;

• Front Cover.
• Torpedo Usage Report.
• 8.8cm SKC35 Deck Gun Ammunition Usage Report.
• 2cm C30 Ammunition Usage Report.
• 2cm Flak 38 Ammunition Usage Report.
• 3.7cm SKC30U Ammunition Usage Report.
• 3.7cm M42U Ammunition Usage Report.
• Defensive Countermeasure Usage Report.
• Aircraft Contact Report.
• Ship Contact Report.

• There is no requirement for these documents to go into the Silent Hunter game file folder.

• Also contained in this mod is a example version, look at the first line within each report to get an idea of what to enter.

Hi Venatore,

keep cool...

And be sure you are welcome here

Comment removed,

Venatore: I'm sorry if what I posted sound like an accusation. It was just annoying that for a good while now I've had no problem with downloads and my computer has been running really smooth. And then after the download everything went to hell.

Venatore: What was the procedure on things like this? Was it just a log kept and submitted once the patrol was completed? Or did they encrypt and send this information as the patrol was on-going?

Hi and thanks for your work Venatore, but for me, the download doesnt work.

Same at this end but it could be because he hasn't u/l fresh links yet

(sorry my bad english)

Not all the SH5 community is going to accuse you or disturb, Venatore. We deserve good modders to make this game better. I´ve enjoyed your mods for SH3, and now want to enjoy it for SH5.

Calm down, (Krauter apologized after all) and reconsider upload the file again.

We need modders like you here. I missed some SH3 modders here, and one of them it´s you.

Thanks for joining kamerad Venatore.

Willkommen an Bord !!

[reaper7]

I sincerely hope you reconsider staying with the SH5 community, Modding has come on a great deal since SH5's release and there are others working on tools to give us even more modding abilities.

I can understand that Krauter post may have been a bit heated, but I know I would be a bit upset if infected by something even though it was unknow to the poster.
I hope ye can shake hands and put this behind.
Sh5 has a good comunity just like SH3 and SH4. I look forward to seeing you on the threads and also to trying out your work .

Krauter,

I'm gathering like any war patrol they would have consolidated all documentation for that patrol and archived it. Prior to that; I reckon the staffing officers of the U-boat would have used the information to back-brief the chain of command and technicians in relation to malfunctions, stoppage drills on the deck gun, AA guns and especially the torpedoes.

I use the documents as a gauge to see if improvements are achieved on patrols as the war goes on, having raw data to look at in a holistic picture provides you with a accurate snapshot on how good your crew/your command decisions were throughout each and every patrol.

Kind Regards Venatore (U-657)

Good to see you post again Venatore.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to download this from Strategy Informer, it says it can't find the file, which is a pity, as this seems to be right up my street.

Thanks for posting in any case, I'll certainly download if/when the file becomes available again.

Hope we also get more offerings from the bunker in the future too.
