This is so true...

I have asked questions about Snorkel @ UbiSoft Website in thier "Technical" forum.
I was told they do not answer Technical questions about the game.
I thought maybe this reply was in error, so I asked again.
Again I received same reply.
Why does "Technical" forum even exist there.

Mmh, im not a Modder, but i would like to drive my favorite IX D2 around the World, test the Meal of the Cook, plot the Course by myself with compass (interesting, same Name for different Things) and Pencil in nautical Miles, would like to mooring in Ports and donate some Beer for the Crew after reaching the Homeport. After that i will go in the Casino, receive my Iron Cross and drink Campagner with Thomsen cause of his new Oak Leaves.

The Modders did a great Job, i have bought SH5 only for the Navigation Buoys. Without Mods it was unplayable, imho. But i think it is the Best Base for a Marine Sim we can get, so wouldnt it interesting to hear what UBI offer?

SSI and Microprose, R.I.P.

At least Microprose release Falcon source code. Now there is freeware Falcon 5.0
This, imo, is best flight sim ever because they released source code.

So, my opinion is the best option and faster is UBI releasing an SDK and let us modify some aspects in the game that we can´t.

Count with my vote, firm or whatever.

(I know what they will do with our list )

But if collaboration goes ahead i will be pleased of paying a non high price for it. (I payed 45 € for a game that had plenty of bugs, some of them that made me store the game in a board for months, and call him UNPLAYABLE)

[garren]

Release of the SDK?

Yeah, I think we've got a better chance of someone on this site winning the lottery and using all their winnings to fund the development of a better u-boat simulator and giving us all a free copy.

In other words, I don't see this happening. But it's always nice to dream.

Edit: And what's up with all the nasty comments in this thread? I think it should be locked IMO - it's just a tar baby at this point and now I'm unfortunately stuck in it too having innocently wasted my time stumbling upon a thread that seems to have lost it's original purpose (that was fine) and has somehow transformed into a thread of slanderous name calling and finger pointing (not so fine).

I for one am sorry that you and everyone else had to read though our crap, but thankfully it has already been steered back to the original topic.

A SDK won't do much good for you unless you have access to the source code itself.

I thought this thread is for those who is interessted in improving SH5 and not to blame each other.

So I ask - why all this unnecessary controversy? Is it not better with the same enthusiasm to roll up their sleeves and continue to work on the game?

I agree! I am always surprised that people are tending to one common goal suddenly begin to quarrel among themselves.

Maybe it's time to sue Ubisoft? In the same way as ubisoft suing all those who in the slightest degree of advantage of their ideas for commercial purposes.
But it's lyrical digressions and jokes, now on the topic:
There are many "yes" and "Against", and each side I can understand. I do not trust to ubisoft, and nothing good from them, do not wait. modders are struggling to improve the game on their own but have to admit that not everything they do - some of the problems without the interference of producers is not resolved. Therefore, the remnants of hope tells me - if there is the slightest chance, even a ghost - it is necessary to drop the pride and enjoy it!
Also very interesting to me than it will end.
Simply my $0.02

EDIT:
Oh, I forgot the most important - what I would like to fix:
to begin with - system damage / repair and torpedoes from SH3
management system by a crew of SH4
separate chassis control machines
Manual control interior lighting boats
discharge batteries with "Full speed ahead", or any other course designed to mimic the course on diesel and electric motors to achieve maximum surface speed.
and of course the additional types of boats.
If this is done - the game can be regarded as perfect, the other missing pieces screw modders.

Im no hero, So far I've done nothing for SHV.

As for the (skills pending), I can only offer assticance with 3d models and textures. (I can't mod for crap.)

some examples of ex-gwx4 stuff i have laying around.






I have a bunch of new stuff we could use in SHV, but i need some time to try and fugure out importing, even with TDWs break though and the excellent tutorials provided here, I am still bound to struggle : Plus some of it is unfinished - or not quite game ready yet.
My biggest problem these days is finding the time and energy for it.

[Zedi]

Great stuff JU, that italian PTB would be a great addition to the axis port defense. When stuck with the importing, ask around.. there are few guys here who already have a great xp with importing stuff and can help.
