the guys who brought us GWX did so at enormous personal cost not only of their time but at the expense of their personal lives as well.

I personally dont see a GWX team reunion in the works for anything involving SH5. but i've been wrong about lots of stuff lots of times.

I can assure you that guys working on SH5 are also giving a lot

Sounds like you card is out of mem

I'll stick with the one I have for now, at least it works and is much better than the crap interface that comes with the stock game.

Which one are you using if you cant set up TDWs?

[Kelly621]

I think you read my mind I was just talking to GT 182 a week or so ago about how great it would be to see a team of mod builders get together and produce a GWX style mod for SH5 for some of the same reason you mentioned above.....I hope it will happen.

Trevally:

So why do you not do this

That is easy to answer....I don't have the ability. Besides I was not demanding I just agreed that it would be nice to see. We all have are talents...want to learn how to read the water on a trout stream, tie a march brown dry fly or build a bamboo fly rod...I am your man. program or build mods.... not so much.

I am using Ui Boat V4.14 I have watched all the videos and followed the written tutorials for setting up TDW New Uls_TDC_7_2_0 But I still can't fathom how to make it JSGME ready There are that many different files to open and alter, I get lost somewhere along the way of doing this.
I just wish someone could do this for me, then upload it so that everything is JSGME ready. I would prefer the SH3 style interface with the three dials and Officer bar. Regarding the rest of the TDWs New Uls mods included in the main folder which also are related to this mod, I haven't a clue also. of how to set them up. Maybe I should give up and go back to playing SH3 or Snakes & Ladders.

Yes the guys working in SH5 are doing great

I certainly didn't want to imply otherwise. Just answering his question as to whether or not the GWX crew was going to do a massive .exe style GWX type mod


My thought on it: Doubtful

[ninja turtle]

Hi guys.

Earlier this week I finally had the courage, time and minimal knowledge to collect Sober's modsoup list and put them in JSGME (although not entirely all of them) as I have owned SH5 for about a year and have never really taken to it for most of the reasons that others have found. I thoroughly enjoy the SH5 'Let's Play' videos, stoianm1's tutorials and his 'Das Boot Movie' on YouTube and wish I could play like that.

Anyway, over the past few days I have given SH5 a go, and although it looks gorgeous and there are many elements within the game I wish SH3 had, I can't seem to gel with it. It's like SH5 is that beautiful blonde (or brunette/red head - whatever floats your boat) you see walking by and wish she was your partner, but when you finally get the dinner date you find that there really isn't the substance you were hoping. There's no desire to take her out on that second date. For me SH3 is that girl you will talk to all night and look forward to having that next meeting.

That still doesn't mean that I don't want to give the blonde another go but you know deep down that the desire for eye-candy will just fizzle out.

So for me SH3 with GWX is almost the perfect marriage, but I can't help wanting that beautiful SH5

All I can suggest is that you do not waste your time on SH5 - it will never be what you want

Hi Trevally.

What is the HAHD mega mod?

[ninja turtle]

Scratch that. I've found it on google. Thanks for the tip as it looks pretty awesome and will definitely be checking it out soon.

[zakarpatska]

Is the HAHD mod available yet? I found the web page for the mod, but it seems that it is still in progress. Did I miss something?

The ultimate game would be an SH5 environment: crew, without their backstory, boats. in an GWX scripted world.

Not even close. First you need SH4's crew management, functions and charts, SH3's flexibility (subset: GWX's world, NYGM's AI, LSH3's and WAC's graphic add-ons), and AOD's gameplay. Add the multi-functionality of SH2 and DC's adversarial multiplay, all mixed into SH5's evironment. Then we might be getting close to a decent subsim. After that start adding other navies' subs and ships to play with.

Havent played either SH4 nor SH2 so you shouldnt take me that litterary.

But, even though i didnt write it, yes of course i would not rule out some of the many excellent mods (while not in an GWX context) who have been made for example SH5, as a contribution to the perfect installment.

[RustySubmarine]

After my previous comments on this thread, I decided to go back with SH3, which I find more realistic as far as a proper campaign is concerned. If SH5 had been made exactly the same as SH3 with all it's extra eye candy and improved graphics, then it would have been perfect.

Like ninja turtle stated earlier about having a date with that luscious blonde and then fining out that there is something lacking and you know that you are not going to gel, is exactly how I feel about SH5.

A few days ago, I decided to have another go with SH5, but after having been back to SH3 again, there was still not the same enthusiasm that SH3 seems to instil in you (for me that is). I know I really want to enjoy SH5 because the graphics tempt me so much, but somehow there is something lacking in the playability, that you don't seem to get with SH3.

Maybe I am like Golden Rivet, for some reason SH5 doesn't feel right for me and I think I will go back again to SH3 for the foreseeable future. Maybe if a more realistic dynamic campaign is built in to SH5, then it would make playing it much much better.

Sorry, I take everybody literally unless I know otherwise. Partly this is my nature and partly because I've had years of people talking about how GWX saved SH3 when there are other great supermods out there, and partly because I have indeed seen games that were better than anything around today, depending on what you call "good" and what you call "realistic". For this reason I tend to overreact any time anyone says that one or the other combined would be the "ultimate".
