Plus, what he wrote in this post is unfortunately true - there's but a handful of people actively modding SH5 and it's hard to find people ready to put time and effort needed even for doing things we already know how to do (like adding non-playable units). It's not surprising that there's little incentive for researching and teaching how to mod animations unless there are people dedicated to do all the work necessary to make use of this knowledge.

Seconded. Hope cool heads can prevail here - Jeff has been a huge help to me with modding .... .... , and I understand the frustration in a way - we don't have the greatest base of modders (sub sims of course are a very niche interest compared to FPS) and a lot of the Silent Hunter series' potential has gone unrealized.

that may be true but the post could be more helpful its only some guy putting an idea out there. Someone needs to take a cold shower.

I gladly stand corrected.

The answer by him just came across as quite haughty and unnecessary since the OP's question was more of a "would it not be nice if" than a very serious "We NEED this in the game" remark.

Best,

Ashi.

I will apologize for any miss understands you may have took.
Older Members know my past under a different name here.
privateer was my forum name long ago. Search Madox58 now.

You ask for links about animations so here you go.

Once you understand the level of work I have put in over many years to understand and share information.
Then see that that work and sharing came to nothing?
Maybe you will understand why I'm not so keen to go forward yet again!

You want to talk animations for SH5? Prove to me you have the Tools and skills to handle them!
Other then that? It's a waste of my time.

I answered kapuhy not the original poster.
Try to keep up!


As to doing a playable PT? Could be done. Few follow through on things like this but it's totally do able!
I'd start with the Schnell Boot for SH3 myself.
And guess who did the animation work for that!
