epic mod + epic waters
ive been away on business for quite a bit ive read all of the messages i have been sent on & off subsim forum
and have decided that the best way to get what work ive done with my various mods and assets in time ive got left is to amalgamate and in some cases make new versions that are all geared TOWARDS epic mod AS THIS IS THE BEST coldwaters PLATFORM TO WORK OFF this version of my work will be MODS installer capable so my Epic w@ters wont be a stand a loan mod as i originally envisioned this is mainly because of 4 main factors 1. TIME the greatest of all resources and im short of time & its not for sale on Ebay or Amazon so ill adjust my original plans. 2. Family & friends matters ive have to attend to AND family & friends will all ways come first with me. 3. as epic mod is rapidly changing its better to make my mod a add on option as this will be the more flexible option to plug & play as Epic mod progresses & my Epic w@ters will also progresses along side it for as long as i can. 4. content ive all ready done loads of work on my 4 mods so i want the stuff out their for the community in some form Pacific waters Atlantic waters Epic waters Cold waters South china sea - Heavily modded Steel Shark ps ive made a cold waters album as ive took down my attachments its in my PUBLIC PROFILE

Where is the modding suite software /tutorial documentation
Dear Steel, (Question at bottom)
I am enjoying your mod ALOT. I tend to mod War game Air land battle! and that took some time to learn as the files are in modern Sol descriptor and modual format (and in FRENCH) I enjoy opening the simple data files in Coldwaters to tweak and play with numbers and see the result in game. (just personal use of course) So for example I logically found the BA-111 high speed surface torpedo and gave it sensors and made it attack deep as well great fun and so simple to do! I have yet to cause the game to crash once ! I just want to know where do you find the tutorials or software suite/packages to mod cold waters in greater detail? I would love to know as it looks great. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong pllace this website is vast ! |

to mod coldwaters you need different elements
1. dnSpy for the Code Modification 2. a photo shop or paint shop program for menus and sprites textures ect 3. a sound editor like Audacity or something also mabey a text to speech editor for voices ect 4. loads of research as theirs are loads of statistics , dates ect to get right im lucky as i am all ready Very familiar with Most Navy Technology past and present and when im not sure theirs wiki or various internet Sources 5. how too code games well my knowledge is based off inter net various utube videos also im very good at game modding also i use trial & error approach If you like i could put together a Coldwaters Editor tools pack and upload it some were on subsim let me know stay safe Mate Steel Shark

NEW USS Nautilus (SSN-571) model made
The now well-known phrase Underway on Nuclear Power was first transmitted by flashing light at 11:00 a.m. on January 17, 1955, as the submarine USS Nautilus (SSN-571) made history as the first sea-going vessel of any kind to be successfully powered by a nuclear reactor.

new Russian hud try out
ive had to re do my huds for Epic mod + Epic W@ters so ive in turn adjusted my 60,70,s ones
this needed to be done to fit new changes in to the new 80,s to 00 Huds as they are more modern Glass screen look then 60,70,s ones i made ages back but in turn ive had to lose the pre made Labels as they would look rubbish on my new glass screen versions so ive made new labels to compensate for this and finally got a round to fully doing all soviet weapons in photo realistic sprites they have shading and 2D LIGHT MAPPING ECT they are also 100% like the actually models that you fire also made new textures for missiles no more most things look like a Harpoon or tomahawk Missile

finished NATO 1960 overhaul
ive added 5 bladed propellers to
barbel 60,s / skipjack 60,s / thresher 61,s these are changed later on for 7 bladed ones so ect USS skipjack 68 is seven bladed ive finished the USN redo of huds also new improved crew sounds , ive reworked my crew sounds mod added noise & mic clicks or bleeps were necessary crew voices in the "conn" have echo only as they in same room so no need for a mic ive added depth creeks when you go deeper they get worse total noise overhaul is under way atm this will include different noises for vessels so for instance dose it have 2 reactors dose it have more then one propeller this addition to my mod aims to fix sounds in Epic W@ters Torpedo's have all ready been done so they now got more wider sound variations ect torpedo types noises (electric) (kerosene-mix) (kerosene-ox-turbine) (kerosene-hp-turbine) (solid fuel rocket) (mono-pro-ax-p-pump) (solid-fuel-p-j-p) (mono-pr-otto-II) then date which affects the propeller designs so in turn noise then is the torpedo noise is the torpedo insulated or rafted to reduce motor noise all these changes mach up to weapon noise values when the torpedo goes active speed wise also some torpedo have fixed speed and are active out of the tube like a Mark 16-m1 or the Russian set-53-57 unguided anti-ship Torpedo to differentiate my mods vessels , weapons , aircraft , sensors , from Epic mod ive added ssv prefixes in data and on vessels or weapons ssv - Steel Shark Version Steel Shark

I love the Epic Mod. It's what CW should be. However I'm hoping
we can get the author some help with his translations of Russian to English. Google translate doesn't seem to be cutting it, many of the missions seem to be a fair hard to get the object of the mission. Not all of them, but most of them. Do we have anyone who speaks Russian and English and can translate the mission briefing and intro texts?
