Take it like the dirty bitch you are for buying the game, on your knees with wang in your mouth. (Yes, I bought it, so I'm sucking too.. sigh...)

Fins have a great sense of humor

i definately miss more fantasy here...everbodys wining, but only some actually move.



in times of everybodys connection to the internet, a project like this would not be that unrealistic though. only, if ubi doesnt want to support such an idea, this would be the rip stone on the project. but money wasnt the main case...as with a passioned group of people and a nice concept, also "business angels" might be interested in supporting such an idea.

even it seems, only some can imagine, all things are possible! but maybe time hasnt come yet, where people/customers are ready for such "global" ideas, or got a lack of self-confidence.

Interesting idea.

Of course when you talk about money, there always gonna have some dissent.

At least he's trying to be constructive.

He has something else to say than:

''I'm never gonna buy this game, this is the worst Silent hunter ever! (but I never played it)''. - kind of silliness

I salute your initiative Urfisch.

I didn't vote yet, but would need to know a lot more before making any donation.

Meo !

Is a good game ! ( all rooms are in 3D , the crew as many possibility to annimated and more ) but UBI at not finish them , i think the best to buy is a license for the granny editor ! with this the community can make news models and annimations

Sorry for my English

Je vais peut-être mieux comprendre ce que tu veux dire si t'écris en français...

[BIGREG]

Desolé pour nos amis anglais

donc , je te reponds en Français !

Pour moi SH5 a un super potentiel (salles en 3D ,graphiques superbes ,annimations possible de l'equipage et j'en passe ! le truc c'est qu'UBI$OFT ne la pas fini et a " bloqué " l'edition des fichiers .gr2 ( fichier qui remplace les . DAT qui sert a combiner les autres datas ) d'ou mon message ,non pas pour acheter la license de SH5 mais ,une license de Granny SDK -> 12500 $ ,mais qui permettrai de modifier et de rajouter pleins de choses ( sous-marins,annimations,accés direct via la souris dans le soum et plus .... )

Ps:Voila , j'ai peut etre mal compris vos messages ,moi et l'anglais ca fait 2

Si la communauté veut investir dans La license de Granny SDK ,je suis OK par contre je ne payerais pas pour des addon's

C'est OK.

why don't we start from scratch?
just like all the wonderful open source projects we see
Open source projects work fine, just look at linux
so we just create an open source simulator, so we start off by working together to create an engine. Than we split up to crate our different simulators.
With that engine, people can create different simulators. One day we might see sub simulators, flight simulators, ship simulators all based on the same engine.
and since they all use the same engine, we can link these games up to create the most epic game ever.

This is possible, since there has to be millions of hardcore simulation fans worldwide

It will not work!
If there are so many talented modders, programmers, hardcore fans in this community, why has an open source project like DFTD so much problems since years to find programmers, graphic designers or in general project supporters?

What's wrong with making a suggestion

[Gerald]

and play,but there are to many fail an no feeling,so I vote no.

I had an interesting thought this day. What about buying the open code from the sh-series with the power of community?

To get the code open, my guess is you'd have to buy the intellectual property from Ubisoft. That has to cost in the millions considering this is ubisoft were talking about. They won't let it go for cheap regardless if its a popular title or not. Your never going to raise enough money to buy the IP from ubisoft.

And the developer licence of Bink Video, Granny 3D and Quazal Technologies is needed, otherwise the code won't compile/link

Since we are dreaming, here is my dream...

What would SH5 be like if it was a 24/7 MMORPG SIM in real time no TC. Each sub with up to 6 live players and the 6 players spread accross the globe so your boat is crewed 24/7. A World's Server Lobby (Forum) where you apply for active service. If your boat is sunk, you must reapply for active service and everyone on all servers knows you were sunk.
Each Sub with built in VOIP or at a minimum a built in chat that translates all text you receive to your native language.
Players waiting for a commision could work for the BdU or COMSUBPAC while going through training.
A AI smart enough to avoid detection, follow currently designated course and possibly even attack without human interaction in case someone is not available when the Sonarman finds a contact and it is a priority target.
A game that will PM you by email or text message your cell phone with status reports or call your beeper in emergency. Maybe you could even reply to the report issueing basic commands (Shadow Contact, Close on Contact, Evade Contact, etc.)
World Severs "LIMITED" to Historical Submarines entry into the War, fate yet undetermined as you are in command.
A game where MOD's must be approved and can only be actived via online connection.
A game where EVERYONE see your unique custom paint scheme and branding.
A game that cost little to buy, where profits come from Monthly Account Subscriptions.

Why would Ubisoft sell the code, even if they did it wouldn't be cheap .
