[REL]Trigger Maru - Final version - Page 2

Archie · 01-24-08, 08:09 AM

I'm speechless Duci, this is tragic..... The reason I play SH4 is because of Trigger Maru and Dave's seminal work on ROW. I take my hat off to you for having the strength to walk away from something that has been such an obviously large part of your real life of late.

I don't know how I will do it my friend, but if I ever get back to the States, I will do my damndest to look you up in OC and buy you those many beers I believe I promised you some months ago.

A fair wind and a steady hand on the tiller of life my friend.

Good luck, and good hunting!

you could always put it down over a few months and send
back a segment or two for the tutorial thread. then you
would have two legacies here. and what knowledge you
have gained would not be lost.

Dude that's bad news. I know about long hours (you should try safety inspections at an airport). But you are right. Your personal life takes precedence. I have begun to appreciate your work as I explore further into TM. It is sad to see you leave. But in the words of a wise man...

MAY YOU LIVE LONG AND PROPSER!

..and another..

Nanoo! Nanoo!

Those who have never lost a shipmate or comrade...your turn has come.

...ready about...

hard alee!

What ROW parts are included in the GFX section ? If not all then which ones have been left out. Also can Kriller's AddOn simply be over layered on this new version of TM ?

If anyone can shed some more light on this then that would be very helpfull.

Thanks...

You control the component elements of your life, Duci, not the other way around.

At the end of the day, Silent Hunter 4 is just a game. I balance my life between real life, playing the two video games that I own (SH4 being one of them) and Moderating here. I play the two games for a few hours at the weekend, Moderate here as much as possible while at work, and the rest of my time is real life.

It's all about creating balance. I can understand how modding can become compulsive and addictive, but you are in control, not the more compulsive side of your nature.

Go and find the right life balance for you, and then choose either to return here or not.

Your legacy is well established whatever you decide. Nobody can take that from you.

Kind regards,

Terry

Ducimus,

Best wishes, enjoy your time and new endeavours.

black1 · 01-24-08, 11:31 AM

A round of beers for everyone, especially you Ducimus, thanks for all your hard work.

JREX53 · 01-24-08, 11:49 AM

Duci,

I have been playing TM since SH4 came out. I have truly enjoyed seeing how it has evolved into one of the best mods for this game. You deserve a break from modding and the game itself. I hope that you do find the balance that you need so that you can continue to enjoy life.
I have always looked forward to your comments on this forum.

Enjoy your rest, you deserve it. Hope to see you back some day.
Take Care!!

Karbo · 01-24-08, 12:19 PM

I too have been playing TM since you started with it. It is a great mod. I and the sub community will miss you. Good Luck too you sir.

S!

LZ_Baker · 01-24-08, 12:22 PM

Thanks for everything mate. Your accomplishments will not be forgotten. You have done a great service for the game and the history behind it.

Now go outside and get some sunshine
