I find that interesting, since the crew management is, in my opinion, one of the best things about SH4. No, you don't get a picture of the sub and its interior, but the crew works in realistic shifts. How do you handle management in SH3? Do you move them around every few hours or just turn it off?

Hi mate,

I know not everyone like micro management but i am a die hard fan of that.
I really like to motherhood my crew and moving them when required and sometime it brought up some pretty stressful moment when attacking a convoy ex: there is not enough crew to manage the battery compartment kaleun and then the stress crank up a bit.

Some might hate it but i love it.

And i prefer to have my crew icons with according orders under their respective duty it feel more like i have a real crew then icon with colorful state.

Probably impossible to turn it back to the SH3 style and this might be a point that could refrain my enthusiasm to port it over.

Best regards Hans

I agree with Steve, I always hated playing UBoat nurse, hence I have always played with fatigue set to zero.

Back to what that forum is meant to be, last night i did some test and is it just me but something feel very wrong with the physic of the boat in the water i mean i don't have the feeling that the boat is actually in the water.

Compare to sh3 i feel that my boat is really in the water maybe just some tweaking in the .sim file.
Was a well known issue from the stock version, make a search for "sub on rails". It was more or less fixed later on by modders.

I am a 7th grade dropoutI drive a truck for Fedex also....

Trust me its hard when you have no education and just wing stuff.Then again Apple computers was started by a high school dropout in his garage and is now top dog in every place I deliver to.I deliver Apple PC's all day long.

To mod in water physics its all in the scene.dat and the individual sub.sim file.

@TDW

lol, lol, and... lol

I mean, so shall I grab back some of the PM's where you asked me about SH5 scripting, C# / Visual Studio? Even you needed (beginners)help from the guru named skwasjer. It's hard to admit, I know...

Nobody's perfect. Some like to learn coding, others don't. You seem to like it, and that's good. I hope you will keep improving, there's still much to learn.

In the end everybody wants to use specific designed tools for specific tasks if that makes it easier for them. Remember the guy that invented the wheel? I'm pretty sure you used Visual Studio for C# work, instead of notepad.exe right?

So please stop telling everyone to do it the hard way. It's annoying.

absolutely right...but

its not only about "like" to learn coding...its also about the time to be able to learn and the soft skills. i surely would like to learn coding, as i did in actionscript, php and html AND updating the templates of silent editor for sh5.





but we all know, time is rare. we all often havent got enough of it, to do all the things we want to do. so i simply have no time to dig in this coding stuff as deep, as i had to beeing able to use the skills for sh-modding. beside this, i have my problems in understanding the logic of coding structures and reverse engineering. i am more the visually skilled type of human, not the math-type who works investigational.

Trust me,as a man who has worked in sweat shops and dock work most my life,there are large differences in intelligence between people.Most of you are educated so do not know how stupid some humans are.Sorry to sound so harsh but there is no other word for it.

Take the pie equation for electrical work and then a step up and step down electrical circuit.I found it easy but many of my friends could not grasp the concept.I tried and tried to explain to them even using the book I learned from as a guide and they were lost.I also had one friend who could not understand how an underground filter in a fish tank workedI also had a friend who would fight with me that fired chicken had no calories but that another story in itself.

So you guys pushing that its just determination to learn is kinda silly.Ok,here is one that I ask people to understand and they "ALL" tell me its easy and they understand.(thats why they clean toilets)

I am talking about Einsteins theory of relativity.I was told its about gravity and how time is based on gravity.If you are to go into space and be away from any gravitational pull of planets....and then travel faster then the speed of light time will never change.Now I wanna see someone here who says they understand that.

Be patient, TDW will provide a working example everybody can understand in some moments

No, seriously, I think you have a point and urfish again hit the bull's eye:

That's also the key: In the scarce availabel time I have, I can do one of both things: Learn C, C+, hexediting or whatever, OR mod. If I do the first (And asuming I could even be able to learn it quickly), then I don't mod at all, and worser even, when I'm done with C+ it might happen that my interest has shifted to another game that requires something else different

Education and mind (intellect) are two different things, but they are mutually reinforcing...
Education polishes natural mind (intelligence), bringing it to "the state of the diamond".
...
And with a university degree there are narrow-minded people... as our former rulers.

Bravo Mate!


I dropped out of Business Administration and went to jumping out of AirCraft to kill people.


In the mid '90's I opened the very first ISP in my area while working in a factory!


Now I work strictly in Destruction/Construction as a self-employed person.
15 years now doing that!

Education means less then determination.

Yes,thats true but a brilliant mind is probably most important here.There is a guy who mods stalker and adds in new stuff daily like its nothing.You want something added then voila its done with absolutely no issues and the next day.Crazy how he does that......
