Atlantic Sharks SH4 Modding Crew - Page 6

rascal101 · 07-29-07, 06:06 AM

Hi to all,
I just thought to ask if there has been any, (substantial) progress with the Atlantic Sharks Mod. Since the release of the SH4 1.3 patch there has really been some progress with SH4, its actually playable !! But for me the Atlantic is still the big draw, but I cant bring myself to go back to SH3 after the nice eye candy of SH4, even though the game play is preferable, the old tubs in SH3 give me the Sh_ _ts!
Just my opinion, please dont kill me any one!!

Just looking forward to playing in the Atlantic once more with some better more convincing looking targets and environmental modeling.

Thats why I came back to this topic. Have not seen any kind of updates and am getting anxious.

Hartmann · 08-08-07, 03:40 PM

it´s not only the release of 1.4 patch.

there are a lot of work to do, export models, the campaign, menus, sounds, grid map in sh4,interface,...

i´m sure that it could be done but it could take a lot of work and time.

also sh4 need a lot of work , the enviroment is nice but in a lot of areas sh3 is more convincing that sh4, for example the storms.

First, let me also add my sentiments by saying Good Luck to the AS team

You guys, and all the modders in the community have made these sims (SH3, and 4) into what I used to daydream about as a kid, while building models, and playing those big arcade machines, with titles such as "Seawolf"! We have certainly come a long way, in a relatively short time!

Just to be clear, is this more or less SH3, useing SH4 graphics? This is an Atlantic campaign, no? Just wondering, since some of the screenies showed Japanese ships, along side U-Boats. I know there were long range U-Boats that had operations in the Pacific Theater, but I don't recall Japanese Warships in the Atlantic. I could be wrong, but if someone could clarify. Once again, good luck guys!

urfisch · 08-10-07, 11:03 AM

thanks a lot for the good wishes! we appreciate that. really...

but we have a lack of time to post some progress...but we are still on it! the core of AS will be a sh3 with (all) graphical and gameplay improvements of sh4. means: sh4 with an atlantic scenario as in actual sh3.

stay tuned, guys.

Rolling Rolling Rolling
Keep moving moving moving
Keep them modders movin' Silent Hunter!
Ttry to understand 'em,
Just write and script and mod 'em,
Soon we'll be living silent and deep.
Boy my heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin', be waiting at the bottom of my ocean.

Move 'em out, head 'em off,
Head 'em off, move 'em out,
Move 'em out, head 'em off Silent Hunter!
Sail 'em out, dive 'em down
bring 'em in, lets send 'em down,
Cut 'em out, chalk 'em up Silent Hunter!

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Atlantic Sharks!

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the oceans are swollen
Keep them boats a rollin'
Atlantic Sharks!
Rain and wind and weather
Hell-bent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side.
All the things I'm missin',
Good vittles, love, and kissin',
Are waiting at the end of my patrol!

Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep them Modders movin'
Atlantic Sharks!
Try to understand 'em
Just write, script, and mod 'em
Soon we'll be living Silent and deep.
My hearts calculatin'
My true love will be waitin',
Be waitin' at the end of my patrol.

Atlantic Sharks!
Atlantic Sharks!

LETS GET SOME

KEEP UP THE WORK GUYS

Im a basic Program designer need any help?

leovampire · 08-18-07, 05:02 PM

as soon as I get the okay from my testers with much heavier sea's
and better physics for them and lightning effects that will blow your
mind away!

Hartmann comments like that keep people from doing work on the
games and make the moders feel like their work isn't apreciated
so they don't offer to work with or help others and just work on
thier own games and say to hell with everyone else.

But no matter what you think or feel about SHIV and what we are
doing for it good luck with your own endevers and I hope you
accomplish all that you are hoping for!

SH3 does not even hold a candle anymore in the above area(s), not even close.
Maybe storms in the beginning, not anymore though.

The fact is the SH4 engine is more poweful than that in Sh3, so with some effort the results will be better.

ming · 09-12-07, 10:20 AM

Modders will be the saviors of IV because one thing it certainly does better than III is CRASH!

stabiz · 09-13-07, 05:29 AM

Just pop by to wish you guys the best of luck! Hope you make this happen.

Well good luck with this but I am confused...given the first post on the thread.

These are the main Atlantic Sharks SH4 Modding Crew goals:

- Create a WWII Atlantic U-boat scenario (like in SH3) in stock Silent Hunter 4.
- Use all technical improvements (for example: graphics, campaign structure...).

So will this be SH4 with u-boats and an Atlantic campaign (and hopefully the better crew and damage modelling of SH4) and the current eye-candy of SH4?

...or will it be SH3 with the nice graphic advances of SH4, and otherwise the same crew management etc. as current.

...or a hybrid and if so what aspects will be retained from both games? Both games are pretty much the same engines anyway....maybe a silly question. :rotfl:

Keep up the hard work, looks monumental!!!
