Poll: FPS camera for sub walkthrough.

jason210 · 09-26-06, 10:17 AM

An accurate interior that you walk around would function as a virtual tour of a U-boat. It costs little in resource to implement, and if you didn't want to use it then it could be optional, like the free cam in SH3.

This is something I've been waiting for for years in sims, and recently I took the helm to get this feature into Ship Sim 2006. Ship Sim 2007 will have more walk abouts...

But what about SH4?

Wow, I was just talking about doing this on another thead. More power to you Jason.

Well, you suggested that someone should do a poll "thingy" in my other thread, so here it is!

jason210 · 09-26-06, 01:13 PM

Just out of pure curiosity, I'd be interested to hear the reason for a negative in this poll...

Safe-Keeper · 09-26-06, 02:49 PM

The poll should've had more options. Like "I want an FPS camera, but not all compartments modelled", and so on.

Well, I voted for, although I'm sort of regretting it now, but:

It takes time from more important features.
After some time, you don't use it frequently anyway.
It can be pretty easily simulated by means of the Shift+F2 free camera.
It might simply not have that much of an appeal (seriously, there are more fun things to do than walk, run, and climb around in your sub).

more fun things to do than walk, run, and climb around in your sub? Maybe insulting virtual people or shooting lifeboats? Sorry, but that part just sounded very, very sh*tty.

jason210 · 09-28-06, 06:04 PM

Interesting to note that a large percentage of subsim crew are not in favour of this feature...

HunterICX · 09-28-06, 07:44 PM

:hmm: I find the FPS thingy an sort of bonus....
I would prefer that the Devs focus themself on the more important things then walking around in the Sub.

I dont want SHIV be like the SH3 Stock game....

I prefer seeing a GW/NYGM Like SHIV

The Noob · 09-29-06, 01:23 PM

38 People voted Yes and only 12 no...so it seems many want it.

I want it. It's cool, it's realistic, it's just great. Waste of time? If this project would be under my command you would have to wait till Spring 2009 for that game.

So a total of 50 voted, out of 16,000 registered users, 4,000 of whom were here in the last 24 hours (unless I'm misreading the statistics). It looks to me as though very few want it, or don't want it. Most seem not to care.

HunterICX · 09-29-06, 06:24 PM

Actually, I Voted Maybe , but I,m more hanging to Not having this FPS in it

its an waste of time for something kiddies like to use to see...but after a time they wont use it anymore....so its an waste of coding, graphics and time.

believe me most Subsimmers want to see are more usefull features.

Safe-Keeper · 09-30-06, 10:49 AM

And, of course, majorities aren't always right. Not to be rude or anything.

Why would this be the case?

How would it not be the case?

The team has only so many people and each of those people has only so much time. There's no way they've got time to model each and every compartment in great detail with so much else to do (modelling landscapes, ships, people, weapons, and so on).

Either it's quantity, or it's quality. You can't have both.

Generic compartments, though? No problem. X-Wing Alliance was one of the games that did that. You could fly every fighter in the game, although there was a campaign only for the Rebel Alliance, and although every fighter but the Rebel ones had generic cockpits.

Gee. That is almost as bad as voter turn out in California on election day

Kapitan_Phillips · 01-22-08, 09:06 AM

I'm all for it, if you can address the issues outlined above. I agree that the leaking and damage shouldnt be hard to do, and the clickable buttons too (hey, we added buttons to the toolbar)

I'm wondering if crew could be added also. I mean, they spawn when Generalm Quarters is called, so..

Sldghammer · 10-06-06, 03:51 PM

Waste of resources that can be spent in other more important areas.
Such as better online play.
