Han's mate, Got room for 9 more smileys
When you get a spare hour or five can you make ones for:

• smile

• yawn

• wink

• confused

• asleep

• yup (nod-yes)

• time out

• rolling on floor laughing (rolf)

• party

• goofy

That should cover it

Hi shipmates,

After some new developments and questions that have finally had answers i am caressing the idea of porting our mod to the SH4 plateform don't jump over the wired no decision have been taken and i would never act alone doing this since i am working in team now.

So the point is that S3D editor is not fully develop for SH3 and many important controllers are not working in game like animation cannot be export back in game without hex editing.

So i first need to have clear answers on that like does S3D editor animation export without hexing in SH4?

How much work would have to be done to port all U-boats and atlantic theater elements in?

Also very important does SH4 advanced modders would be willing to join us in?

This is no park ride and advanced SH4 modders would be required to get this done in a reasonable time schedule .

What are the biggest drawback that would kill the experienced for atlantic campaign?

We need to know the answer to those questions before any decision is taken and also we need to talk about it between us team members.

And please i don't want our thread to become a flame war i just want constructive dialogs to see what would be the best choice.

Best regards Hans

According my experience with SH4 Operation Monsun Mod by Lurker, ATO Mod for SH4 1.5 version, you will have these problems:

- The Enigma grid is not completely accurate.
- No neutral ships (SH4 don´t have neutral ships: Japanese and German, one side- Allied, other side.)
- Low FPS with great number of ships (OM don´t open the Museum...).
- Low FPS in ports (the bases in OM aren´t so detailed as Aces Superpens, etc.).

I don´t know about if these problems are avoidables...

Best regards.

I think personally that SH4 offers the best platform for modding overall between sh3/4 and 5
I would be with you on this one
It may be an idea to create this mod where possible for both platforms - a lot of stuff would be common to both, but certain parts would work for sh4 that are not possible with sh3.
For example better layed out UI's could be created for SH4 with the higher resolutions,. Where as the UI that Makman has created would be available for the Sh3 version.
Its definitely worth looking into dual platform release.

A lot of this can be fixed, SH4 just never received the same modder base that Sh3 had or that sh5 even has now. It kind of got looked over due the SH5 being announced and GWX4.0 being disbanded.
But It has the most potential to become the greatest Silent Hunter platform minus the scripting of SH5.

SH4 can have neutral shipping look at its defside.cfg (A portion of the entries) I'm sure this is just a campaign issue that need over hauling badly.
