Silent Hunter III, Mods and GameShadow

Ballistix · 11-29-06, 05:52 AM

Hi guys,

My name is Tony Treadwell and I am the Founder and COO of GameShadow.

As many of you know (lots of people from the Silent Hunter III install have become GameShadow users!) GameShadow was included in the Silent Hunter III installation and we have happily supported the title ever since.

We are a very small company, but very focused on customer service, personally I am an avid gamer and my desire to make getting content for gamers was the seed that grew GameShadow to what it is today.

I'm also a huge modding fan, and I know there are some fantastic modders associated with this site.

This is one of the reasons I have arrived here. We have until recently been offering the Sea Wolves expansion pack and until someone mentioned that this pack may have included work from people right here in this forum and elsewhere, without financial benefit or return. I've since instructed this expansion pack to be pulled until further notice from GameShadow. This is why I am here!

On the one hand I want to promote more mods in GameShadow, offer a service to you guys, for free, give us the top 10 mods and we'll do a special page in GameShadow so that all SH players can get them fast and free. Anyone interested?

Also to say "Hello", we want to support you, and we are gamers at heart and have a duty to make sure the best stuff gets out to our audience, and do just to all the modders out there that do this stuff for the love of a game.

Anyway, I've waffled on too long.

All the best,

Tony (TT)

Welcome aboard.

Neal, can you give this man a better avatar? I think he deserves it.

I'm sure many would be interested.
I can't speak for them but maybe you would like to contact NYGM & Grey Wolves (up coming release of GWX) team leaders and see if they would be interested.

There are soooo many great mods to choose from, maybe Neal could help you.

Again, welcome and enjoy your stay.

I second that request.

Thanks for stopping in Tony. Your thoughts and decisions are appreciated.

You've just scored a few points for GameShadow.

Ballistix · 11-29-06, 12:33 PM

Hi guys, no worries.

I'm really keen to get some of the best mods up there...we can even help with an installer if people want some help. I'd be happy to choose a few doesn't matter how many, lets start somewhere, and get it up as a GameShadow feature.

People can grab me at tony at gameshadow.com and we can go from there! Sounds like Grey Wolves could be a good candidte, how do we get that moving?

All the best,

Regards,
TT

Wait to be contacted:rotfl:

- LOL

I have posted your message on the Grey Wolves Forum for the Devs to see as they are currently too busy to check all new posts here.

Gameshadow... I have never installed it, always a little suspicious of 'free' programs like this.
How sure are we that this isnt some kind of spyware/addware?

I have it from some game I loaded. It basically just lets you know if there updates or patches out for the games on your hard driver. Perfectly harmless.

Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness and concern for all the hard work the modders here at Subsim have done. I think it says a lot about your ethics and morals, and I'm sure I won't be the only one to recognize and appreciate that!

Welcome Tony,

I guess it makes sense to start with "promotion" of bigger packages/mod-compilations.

Here is a brief info on what is happening in SH3 world. There are a number of substantial developments/mod-compilations at the moment:

GW (Grey Wolfs), related site http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/GWX/
NYGM (I will not bother with full name

) http://www.wolvesatwar.org/nygm/
UWAC (U-boat War Ace Campaign, quite popular in German community) http://www.realhp.de/members/hansolo78/index.html
UWAW (U-boat War Ace (Wolfpack), popular in Russian community) http://forum.sukhoi.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=122
LSH3 (Living SH3, quite popular in German community) http://www.torpedotreffer.de/
FF (FrontFlottille, quite popular in German community) http://www.9teuflottille.de/index2.html

Also, there are
AODT modpack (http://www.aotd-flottille.de/wbb2/jg...6&katid=22&sid=)
big mod merging GW and UWAC (GW-UA) by Carotio (http://carotio.awardspace.com/Caroti...ite/start.html)
pack by Spanish community (http://www.24flotilla.com).

I also advise you to visit German SH3 forums at UBISOFT (http://forums-de.ubi.com/eve/ubb.x?a...1008762) where they have well-structured stickies dedicated to most significant mods or modders.

Jsbl · 12-01-06, 08:46 AM

This is great!

After reading this thread I finally installed Gameshadow.

When I installed SH3 for the first time, I chose not to install Gameshadow, because I was a little suspicious of it.

Now I can see it's a great tool.

Thanks Ballistix.
