I Need An Update On SH3

turnerg · 12-27-05, 03:13 PM

Hello all again. I shall soon be getting my feet wet again, as I'm finally stationed somewhere I can have a computer...

I completely missed out on the whole SH3 thing, though I was the first to Demo it at the subclub meet in Houston. I bought it in like, May, but I haven't seen my computer since then. I guess I need to be brought up to speed on a few things:

1) What's the modding situation: I've seen some ocean and random ship/convoy stuff, but I'm talking more in terms of Retexturing ships, and modeling, with a possible attempt at some sh2 style modding of use of surface ships for player control. Did they ever open things up for us to make, edit, or import our own models?

2) How well is the game suited for use with FX7800GTX video card, or should I say cards...

I'm going all out on a new build pc, FX-57, 2xSLI pci-e 7800gtx's with the new 16x support for both cards, plus 1 gig ram.

Are their any current driver issues with nvidia, like there was with sh2/DC back in the day?

3) Any news on possible Destroyer Command 2, or should I say, a surface sim project? I say that because i'd rather be driving the heavy stuff, ie BB's, BC's, CA's, etc.

I should be getting comcast internet in my room, so i might even dive into online play

Welcome back Jarhead!
Lots of mods out there. Three of the big realism mods are RUB, Improved UBoat and Harbor Traffic. There really are too many to list. The modders have gone overboard in coming out with some really great stuff.
Check out the forums or visit terapin's site @ U-Boot.Realsimulation for a huge assortment.

Where are you stationed and what's your MOS?

Semper Fi!

I'm at 8TH and I in DC. Guard, so I'm an 8152 and 0311.

Im looking to see if they've opened things up for actual model importation into sh3.

I dont know if actual model importation is possible yet, though people have found a way to kit-bash what already exists.

Sergbuto has done a few cool things. He'll probably come up with more down the road.

OMG turnerg is on the loose again. What ever you do, don't get in the car with him when he is driving past a military airfield.
