****** Silent Hunter 4 Mods Contest ********

[Misfit138]

Hmm, my favorite mod guru? Tought one, especially when here is a bunch of people who have done such a fantastic job improving the SH4 ultimate experience

But I too would like to put my vote on Captain Cox. Just look at his mods! CBS news and the number of those smaller mods. Not to mention the fact that he does a fine job updating his mods

[JScones]

I don't even have SH4 installed, but from reading the SH4 threads, my vote's for Captain Cox.

Hmmm, doesn't seem to be a need for a poll, Neal. :hmm:

[Torpex752]

My vote would be IMHO.....

For Mod assembly & integration creativity...
Ducimus for TM 1.4.

For single mod...Leovampire for the living breathing ocean mod.

For contribution to the SH4 community in terms of # of outstanding mods....Captain Cox.


All in all every mod maker deserves a serious thank you from the community and UBI soft for assisting their product to gain popularity & quality.

I'm just glad we have such a great bunch of guys dedicated in trying to make this game better in every way.

Respect

I agree with Taurolas and gratefully thank ALL these masterminds for all the houres and fun i experience day by day when playing SH IV

I'd like to give my humble vote to Beery for the Real Fleet Boat mod he's done for SHIV and in a way also for all he did for us for SHIII too.

During my time here at Subsim he's done so much for this community, overcame several ups and downs but returned to us with new mods every time.

Got to love that good spirit. Thanks skip!

[Kaleun]

Oakgroove for making the Instruments in both SH3 and SH4 realistic and "pretty!"

[WilhelmTell]

My vote for 'WernerLeoDuciWineFooBeerCoxOakAnvart' for his outstanding effort in modding SH4.
Thanks to you man !

[longam]

Captain Cox because of his contribution and dedication.

[kriller2]

Well... it's a tough decision, because so many modders have done their share to make SH4 more enjoyable, but I think Living Breathing Ocean have been one of the reasons i am playing SH4 again... Allso "Sergbuto" deserves recognition for what he did with SH3, where are you Serg? - we need new ships, german uboats and dolphins! :p

Pretty cool answer

[Marko_Ramius]

My first vote go to TM. Since the begining of my play in SH4, it is the mod who match my view of the sim.


But since Ducimus doesn't want the reward, i vote for Leovampire and his brillant "Living Ocean" . Trully fantastic and it is Ver.1 !!


CaptainCox for his tremendous additions for the game.


In fact, you should give a T.Shirt for all modders here. All desearve our thanks.

[Rockin Robbins]

First, I have to recommend awarding three of the t-shirts to WernerSobe, Redwine and leovampire. A nasty confrontation between the Die Slowly and Realistic Sinking Physics mod looked possible....likely.....imminent even. Modders tend to be highly opinionated people, and with the exception of CaptainCox, a bit *****ly (being censored here for a completely innocuous word. OK let's try mispelling it: "prikly") sometimes. Welcome to the world of creative people! But as evidenced by posts #57, 58 and 59 in the [REL] Realistic Sinking Physics thread, these creative, highly opinionated, fiercely competitive guys will bury the hatchet at the drop of a hat if they can work together to make a better Silent Hunter IV. And they're not killing off one of the mods to combine into one. It's coopetition time, where exchange of information makes BOTH mods amazing. I say t-shirts all around to leovampire, Redwine and WernerSobe for that!

Second, but not last by any means, CaptainCox is just hovering above the crowd with his open, immediately responsive and incredibly prolific mod writing. When someone suggests a good tweak, CaptainCox often comes out the next morning with an update, always giving full credit to the suggester. When a modder hits the wall and needs help CaptainCox is there to help, sometimes not taking any credit for his work. I've bugged him to death at times about things that he knew were outmoded (he knew Oakgroove's interior was about to wipe out any improvements I was fishing for) and he never seemed irritated. So for productivity above and beyond the call of duty (above and beyond reason itself!), he deserves a t-shirt.

Finally, and totally irrelevent to the purpose of this thread, I suggest that we give greater emphasis and recognition to training. WernerSobe's video on sonar only attack setup and execution, and two videos on full manual techniques are just as important as any mod ever produced in achieving full enjoyment of SH4. I consider them a mod to my brain and their effect is amazing. I'm sure there is much more material out there that I am not aware of.

Captain Cox's graphical mods add so much more polish to the gane. I love the Silent Service loading screens, as well as the improved hats. Small things, I know, but to me they really give the game a much more finished feeling. He gets my nomination!
