..I should've said "too buggy" or stil too disfunctional rather then "cranky" I guess, sorry. I tried it this morning, it lacks too much of functionality for now. I however didn't get CTD since I avoided the known bugs.

I think at current state 3 bug free dials would be the best solution. I'll be however missing the "depth under keel" from SH4 interface, but still...3 dials for now.

BTW, the UBI developer's post at this site indicates that SH4 interface should be portable OK, so keep up good work! With SH4 interface the game would be probably enjoyable. Thanks!

Well, it looks like TheDarkWraith and UrPeaceKeeper have become SH5's first mod team! Congratulations guys!

I would like to say one thing though. People have been talking about the 'stupid' devs, for leaving all this old stuff in. Has it occured to anyone that maybe they did that on purpose? They did say it would be easier for modders to do their work.

And that is my point. They put this in to help. They still deserve praise, not scorn.

yes, yes, to sailor steve you listen!

The devs were looking out for you guys by leaving all the old info, textures, scripts, etc. in there where they knew you all would start slicin'n'dicin'!

Give them some love for making a game with some fun new features but leaving it very very easy for the enthusiast crowd to customize the game..that's not easy to do and it's very thoughtful!

I think the Devs Kindly left one HUGE Easter Egg for our modders.

nice, but i hope there gonna be a sh3 hud too, because sh4 style is for americans

i just don't like sh4, sh3 + gwx = pwnage, nothing else comes close.
but if sh5 would be sh3 like, maybe i would spent my money on it and finally be able to delete sh3?

[TheDarkWraith]

does anyone know of a mod that lets the dials increase in size (zoom) when you mouse over them (like SH4)? I need to see how it's done but am currently trying to figure it out myself also.

Let's just get what we have working first. It's been said it will be very difficult to get the SH3 interface working in SH5.

Beggars can't be choosers.

What functions can we use as of now for a UI. would like to do up some overlays for dialg, guages and commands that can be used as of now.
While the dials have been left in by the Devs from SH4, they just don't have the UBoat feel to them. I would like to do up some Artwork for the modders to use if in there mods as my scripting abilities are not great.

Fully agreed. . I haven't got the game yet, so those who are playing it know better.

The devs are not to blame, and i would say they are not sleeping very well,
( i mean if it would be me) knowing the game (their baby) isN't perfectly ''fine tuned''.
After all, they manage to do their 'best' within the calendar imposed by the suitcases.

On the other hand, congrats to all modders, nub and experienced, brave men on the frontlines
i would really like to join and help mod sh5 at one time to provide models and/or textures.

But for now, i keep on scanning the threads to understand how you guys mod.
