Well i do have some row aspects incorporated into TM. was primarly done to get rid of "install order " questions, and why im taking the "service pack" approach rather then have ppl d/l the mod again.

If i wasn't looking for an excuse to step down and step back, i suppose id be upset. I can't really. Ive been looking to get out of modding for awhile. Part of that was posting that if someone wanted to take over, or use it as a base - be my guest. My assumption is they would cite their source, this spiirt of my (albiet poorly worded) statement was to continue the work.

In a way im flattered. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. But i can also understand peoples concerns here. Without any clear statements of their source and intent with it, it does look like plagurism, and thats bad for all modders. I know some AOD guy PMed me awhile back asking questions and i answered them i think but what he was asking went in one ear and right out the other. I just have too much to worry about, so i didnt think anything of it, and i dont know anything about AOD at all. I know theyve been around awhile, and produced some mods for Sh3.

*shrug* Personnaly, im just not goign to worry about it. Ive got the first service pack to TM sitting here on my hard drive, and its 80% done. Thats my focus. Just trying to find some more things to add to it and type up the documentation for it.

Makes no sense to me you can get it all here for free; plus support and you can "nag" the creators endlessly, via post and PM's.

swdw · 03-10-08, 04:30 PM

Well, I looked in their shop, and the stuff they had for sale was legit there. No mod rip-offs. Just games from the manufacturer, books, movie DVD's.

Not a add-on in sight in the pay for section, but several large add-ons for free in the download section.

The credits, if you read them, say:

Modded by AOTD MadMax and AOTD Rhonen

The base mods (all have been changed):

Campaign based on Trigger Maru

Sub-skins by Fubur (I assume they mean Fubar)

Environment and reflection by R.O.W.

3d ship models by IamBecomeLife

The AOTD group have been modding SH3 for quite some time, and MadMax is responsible for some very good (mostly German) merchant ships.

I too first thought of the skunks at CombatPlanes, but my feeling is that MadMax and friends have probably just put together their version of a supermod, and it will be cool and it will be free.

At least it had better.

Sonarman · 03-10-08, 05:21 PM

I certainlly have downloaded a mod from AOTD in the past and it was free and very good.

As to our "old friends" over at Combatplanes you may wish to turn your microscopes on this
judging by the lack of screenshots and dead links it looks abandoned, lets hope so!
Perhaps Sid Meier will sue them for using "Silent Service" in the title!

Ducimus · 03-10-08, 05:33 PM

Well, if their version of the mod kicks ass, might be time for me to *TRY* and hang up the modders hat. I just want a better game to play, i dont care all that much about who makes the mod, i just want a better game. I still wonder how i ended up where i am today. Making a "supermod" was never what i really wanted to do. It just sorta happened.
