Tired of working on mods. broken game features, and armchair mod critics ignorant of design decisions. Gives me a sandy mangina.

I'll not argue with your statement in any way nor form!


But you know that the Wife will beat me when I try to use
this as an excuse to not mow the lawn don't you?

I got started by looking at something I wanted to change and then just dove into the files. Not to change them but to look at them and see how everything works together. Then I looked at sh3/4 mods to see how they achieved something similar to what I wanted and made the changes I wanted.. then comes the testing phase!

I'm almost mad at myself that I started modding. If sh5 had a counter on how many times I've booted it up i'd be close to 500+ by now. Sometimes modding is so damn frustrating and I have to make small incremental changes until I find out exactly what's causing it to not work how the files are set, and after each small change I have to boot up sh5 and either start a new campaign because loading a saved game doesn't work with some changes, or load up a mission i've made for the testing.

If I'd had a good enough computer when sh3 and sh4 came out for me to mod then I probably would have with those 2 also. All in all I'm having fun finding out how the game ticks but there's many things that are hardcoded or can't be changed and just makes me want to

I don't even play the Games.
For me it's all about the Modding.
I enjoy the changes,
the missed bits and pieces by the Devs,
the what if's and on and on!

I want to know as much as possible,
how and what the Devs did.

How are units structured before importing to the Game.
How does everything connect?

Then I can do stupid stuff!
If I know how it works?
I can find a way to create things not in Game yet.
This version is a Modders delite!

I know exactly what you mean. In the last 2 weeks I don't think I've played a single patrol but sh5 has been the only game i've booted up in that time

It's been fun figuring out how things work.. brainstorming with fellow modders on why some things wont work.. and just piddling about getting the game to do things that sh3/4/stock 5 aren't able to do.

On that note I made good strides on torp carrying planes.. not perfect and may never be .. but might be worth adding.

That could prove to be problematic. Might i suggest doing some landscaping with copious amounts of lava rock or shore gravel? Problem solved, less lawn!
