U-BOATS: TOTAL WAR mod - Page 2

Go easy Contact, mate.

Just a thought, but give the guy a benefit of the doubt at least until he releases his work.

You never know. There is always the possibility that sonar_PL makes a great discovery with fresh eyes, that no one else has.

Let him have his day in the sun.

Kpt. Lehmann · 09-02-09, 03:46 AM

All I'm saying is that its not really a good idea to pour icewater down the neck of a new modder.

You just never know what they might do next.

Maybe you could encourage first... then criticize if needed.

Rapt0r56 · 09-02-09, 05:52 AM

Looking forward too it, the Fog Effects looking awesome!

nikbear · 09-02-09, 06:39 AM

Wow,where did this come from

,cool

,be nice to see someone else's interpretation of the SH3 world,more the merrier

Looking forward to seeing what you've acheived Sonar_PL

bojan811 · 09-02-09, 09:28 AM

Just make a nice juicy manual to read and explain all the benefits obtained by your mod.
Looking foward to try out something new.
btw I like the Name Total War (I like total war serial of medieval war)

Reece · 09-02-09, 10:03 AM

Looking very interesting indeed!

Sledgehammer427 · 09-02-09, 10:10 AM

I second the request for a juicy manual!
I will have my eye on this thread, lots of work for one person, I'm interested to see what it produces

Rapt0r56 · 09-02-09, 10:29 AM

mh... Fog Effects in Subs we're really nice. Some kind of Exhaust Smog

Looks very promising and well-thought, sonar_PL!

Every new mod is far from perfect, when it's intitially released, even when you have a whole team of developers working on it. Look how many years it took the Grey Wolves to perfect GWX!

Considering sonar_PL has done this one on his own, it's already shaping up to be good work. Polishing away the rough edges will just take a little longer, but not quite so long as it would if everyone is willing to help when he needs it. The guy has single-handedly built this mod. That's worthy of respect just for the dedication it took to get this far!

It's the modders, from the most renowned to the most obscure, with work great or small, that keeps SH3 fresh and thriving well past its expected lifespan. Even if an idea seems stupid or has been done before, you never know where it might lead because every modder is a unique individual with their own way of looking at things.

As a famous example, GWX wouldn't have existed if Lehmann hadn't said to himself, "I can do this differently and possibly better." His own skills at the time were not as refined as they are now but he didn't give up and never took "No" for an answer or let others discourage him. There probably were those fans of RuB and NYGM who didn't appreciate his efforts.

As for "U-Boats: Total War", I'm looking forward to a download link so I can load it up and experience sonar_PL's vision. It just might be the next big thing.

Keep at it and stay strong, sonar_PL! You never know where this path might take you in the future.

Bravo @Graf Paper.

Well done sonar_PL, don't let others remarks put you off. Stick at it shipmate, looking forward to the final result.

Best regards.
