I am Privateer. The inside story of an SH3 Modder

Jeff-Groves · 12-27-17, 05:25 PM

Some how I became friends with the very best of the best.
When many could not understand Anvart?
I took the time to work with that so that he and I are still very good friends.
He has also taught me more then many know today.
After GWX 3 was released? I took to working with others on their mods to help ease the old Modding wars issues.
Those people read like a list of the best of SubSim!

What it all comes down to is this.

I am Privateer.
I am honored to be a part of SubSim.
I have had the honor of being friends to so many here that I can not name you all.
I am honored if any mods I have had a hand in make your Game play more pleasant.

Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate is better, and more efficient, because of you, Jeff!

- hope I didn't interrupt your thread!

Hi JG
Subsim is what it is because of people like you Jeff.
Where would SH3 be if you and others had not put GWX together for this community?

You have shone a light and others have followed through your creativity not just for SH3 but for helping with other projects.

GWX within the SH3 community today I would say is looked upon as the "holy grail" a phenomenal achievement that is as popular today as it has been over the years.

Thanks Guys.
As Jim stated I do plan to be more aggressive as I continue this story.
The past posts are kind of an intro to my whole story.

I'll try not to be harsh except for my own actions.
And I will protect some information to not cause hard feelings.
There's been far to much of that in the past.

In the middle of the not so great modding wars, Jeff reached out to me for friendship. I'll never forget that gesture and it was more than a gesture. It was and is real friendship.

He opened my eyes to the needless animosity between people of great accomplishments but with limited vision. I actually pulled back from Subsim for a couple of years rather than be a part of it, came back and found friends.

From that new beginning we've formed better relationships without the drama of the modding wars. And the result has been great growth and cooperation between all modders. Thank all of you for making Subsim a greater place than ever!

Roughly in the late 80's I was doing some hacking work on the side from my full time jobs.
A Guy would try a free program and I'd fix it to be a full version for a few quick bucks.
The DRM we face today was non existent and programs were easy to 'adjust' in hex.
I also continued to build a home network out of old parts and pieces.
This was unheard of for the most part back then and many really thought I was a nut case!
I was just ahead of the times as everyone here reading now knows.
I had a big hand in pushing a friend to program in C and then onto C++ around the same time.
You may have tried his work. Ultimate Edition. He goes by TheeMahn.
I trusted Glenn as he understood and loved the tech as much as I did. He was to become a very valued asset to me in later years.
