[REQ] SH4 commander - Page 16

skwasjer · 02-08-08, 09:50 PM

Please check the previous page (last post) for the things I need help with. If you can start compiling a list of ideas (they may be existing functionality in SH3Commander, but obviously new ideas are very welcome). I really need someone to manage this (sort of a project manager if you will), because I really won't have alot of time with 2 development projects on my hands, to also maintain a public thread which will likely explode once this gets of the ground. I've also asked that this list includes reference materials, links to threads, graphics (for crewmanagement), possible candidate mods that could be integrated, etc., etc., etc.. It's not simply listing feature A...B. Otherwise I wouldn't ask... I need someone to give it some extra thought, before I start developing. If this tool is given extra thought in advance, that will save me half the work.

Cheers

May I give some input by saying what I would like to see included in the Commander?

-First of all it should list the time, date, location, class AND the name of the ships you have sunk.

-It would be great if the Commander could list how many torpedoes were fired during a patrol and how many were hits or misses. The player could see if his skills are improving or not.

-It would be cool if there was some sort of "scuttlebut" were you would learn the latest news and gossip from other skippers.

-I would love to see the feature that crew members are transferred after a while, just like in RL.

That's just my wishlist. I'm sure you can come up with other great ideas!

This is just fantastic.

As said, no need for apologies at all. We are just happy there are some souls here wanting to make the better.

I am a complete git considering programming but I am more than willing to do Beta-testing.

(A SHIV-Skipper tool is what we need at WaW-Pacific and there may be more willing testers there)

Cheers

I hope you're feeling better. It wasn't not having a cool tool that had people talking; it was the not knowing.

It will.

No need to apologize, RL stuff always comes first. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Just so long as your fit and well....that is the true priority....everything else is of secondary importance

Able72 · 03-31-08, 07:42 PM

Ok, two months, no word.

Just doing some thread necro to see if there is life left in SH4 (whatever you wanna call it)?

If so, cool, I'd love to help test.

Since I have no programing skills I can't offer to help code (the last programming language I used was BASIC and no, that wasn't visual BASIC, think back before that).

If no one else has offered I'll step in and do what I can to be your "ideas project manager" But I'm making no gaurantees as to what you'll think of my work. I've never done this kind of thing before but I'll try. Only condition is that I get a mention in the credits, and if you ever sell the code or make any money off this program I want a small cut (say 10% of Gross?).

Just let me know.

GSpector · 03-31-08, 10:06 PM

I feel the same way. I too have been watching for this application and I too have not seen anything but I too would like to see it released.

Odd, I too knew BASIC before it went visual, about 4 different versions (depending on the system)

Able72 · 03-31-08, 11:02 PM

hehe, I knew one version. The one used on the Trash 80 coco 2 lol.

GSpector · 04-01-08, 03:58 AM

I was not to fluent in the TRS-80 COCO but I new the BASIC for all other TRS-80's 1-4, Apple IIe, Tele-Type (roll paper & paper tape, no monitor), Commodore Vic=20 & 128d, Hazeltine, and MS BASIC. Each had there on quirks but at least there were enough similarities. all known before graduating High School

It was almost funny, when I took BASIC in a Tech School in order to try for a CS or CIS degree, I actually got a "D" because I knew more then the teacher and he did not like it. I never did get either degree.

I had a bad habit of questioning every dumb statement he made.

example, the symbol "$" is called a string, yet he kept calling it a "dollar sign". When I questioned him on this, he just stated that he did not want the other classmates to get confused.

On a test, He asked:
"what does 1k" stand for?
I answered 1024. I was graded wrong because he had not taught that yet and expected the other students to write 1000.

If I had know at that time that I could have challenged my grade, I would have. I did not find out for 1½ years later, when I was about to leave the Tech Collage.

I should have known this teacher that thought he was better then anyone else would be a problem, with a name like Phil Bugg. He had a huge ego and did not like to be questioned.

Thus I will happily leave that fun to someone else.

To all the valued supporters and other happy SH3Cmdr users, sorry, but one can only be so patient.

LOL well put, I'm sorry to hear that JScones, you did a formidable job and your work will still be appreciated for a long long time.
I've burned a DVD with SH3 mods and essential utilities and will keep on playing the game on my old computer. I am going to keep that computer until it breaks down and I'm unable to find spare parts to fix it.

So my guess is that I'll still have a good laugh with SH3 commander + GWX gold in 10-15 years time
