Time to wake up and start putting pressure on Ubisoft for the SDK!

How about rounding up all members of SH3 forums and sending Ubisoft the message provide an SDK or we boycott further releases of Silent Hunter?

There is a forum thread stickey at the top concerning this issue. Have you voted in it?

Oneshot/Onekill · 04-18-09, 06:16 AM

Disregard previous post Tar&Feather. I see that you have.

I certainly did Oneshot/Onekill and would advise every forum member to do likewise!

So what would you personally do with the SH3 SDK if you had it in your possession?

Ubisoft can shove SH5 where the sun don't shine!

Whoa. I do not think it is at all productive to get torqued up and rant to a sim producer as if they owe a customer anything but well made product for the amount of money spent which is a pittance for the pleasure - a book, album, a concert, a movie, a sports event - they are all forms of ethereal entertainment. This sim is a terrific buy. I thought Aces of the Deep was very good in it's time but SH3 is better and so will the next generation be. I believe I am getting fabulous entertaiment at a nickel an hour if I calculated it out.

Personally, a constructive way to get the attention and good will of a developer who is in business to make profit is to suggest ideas to see if they can implement them within the development budget - they are not government contractors and beltway bandits.

They are game developers, entertainment folks. Perhaps we need to keep it suggestive and not offensive lest we lose the developer's interest.

One can always go start-up their own company.

Ok - wolfpacks are a must! I do believe I recall Aces of the Deep having them.

I agree with PappyCain on this. Read the first post, Neal explicitly explained that there would be no flaming allowed. It would be a real shame if this thread gets locked out by the Moderator's.

Oneshot/Onekill · 04-18-09, 06:53 AM

Ooops..I need to heed my own advice. "Do not comment on other member's posts in this thread. Flaming is not allowed".

Lots of posters are talking up Wolf-Packs! Woohooo!

I appreciate that many who call for an SH3 SDK, do not exactly know what it involves and what you do with it.

Except from the 3dsmax plug-in for the harbours, Ubisoft using inhouse tools such as Kashmir for the production of DAT files. These tools have been and are used with other games developments by Ubisoft. If this tool now become part of a public SDK, it also opens the way into other games produced by Ubisoft and that is not in the interests of the pubisher.

For the community a SH3 SDK must be specially created and that costs time and money. For SH5 Ubisoft should consider to create a special SDK only for the game like many of the SDK's in the shooter genre, which is independent of other developments and can be publish with the game itself.

EDITED BY MODERATOR:

I readed the post and though I would delte it because of being way off-topic. But the real reason is, if I leave it here and read it once again, I will most probably start shooting at sight

Please gentlemen, self-moderation is always better than external moderation.

If Ubisoft don't give a toss about their customers, why should I give a toss about their software or business in the future?

You have said your piece

( a couple of times ) now let's get back on topic please.

cstaunton92 · 04-18-09, 01:12 PM

I totally agree with all the great ideas on this thread.

A couple of additions to the ideas of others:
a) A rations/food supply system to limit patrol durations more realistically
b) Control over this system to vary patrol length, e.g. half rations (reducing crew effectiveness), or varying deck/AA gun ammo stores to allow greater rations capacity

Just my 2 pence!

Maybe a real navigation option? Stars, sun. Or is that a bit to far fetched?
