A few big thanks and an idea

Salut à tous,

It was a very long time since I came here. Back then, I was playing SHIII with RUB, as my poor computer was unfortunately too weak to run GWX. I spent a lot of time enjoying the game, then let it aside for a couple of months (yes, shame on me !). Coming back to it one day, my dear SHIII was resentful enough to offer me nothing else than CTDs : abandoning my precious careers on a very successful (and renown-improved) "Typ IX" did nothing to it, and removing all JSME-enabled mods did not have any more healing effects. So, I finally gave up totally.

I recently bought a new computer (with Vista

!), so I took the chance to give SHIII another try, especially with GWX 2.1 over a brand new install of the game : all runs perfectly so far ! That's why I would say here that nothing (really) would have been possible without the help of this forum, which - with a little time to look for them - gave me all the necessary answers (I needed many !) and solutions. So, many thanks to those in this forum who give their time to solve problems and explain things.

My second thought goes to the GWX team. No big sentences needed : a massive, impressive work that gives SHIII another dimension ; the team will never be thanked enough for such a masterpiece.

I will end with a thank to the modders. I mean the authors of "little" (in size) mods, which are - more than very often - the cherry on the cake : to name only a few, U-boot's exhaust smoke, life-boats + debris (and rowers), water streams (need a better graphic card to run this one, at my great dissapointment), no instant death screen, and so on. The authors will recognise themselves, may they all be thanked too.

And that's where I will (finally !) expose my idea : all the mods I use were added either because I used them previously with SHII + RUB, or (and that's the most important) because I found them with a stroke of luck, looking at a player's "config" in one thread or another. Of course, I took a look at the huge sticky post regrouping all the mods, skins and improvements available ; but coming back here after a year or so, a look at this very post (I even guess that two are now needed !) made me feel dizzy.

So, what do you think about a "hit parade" of the most used, the "must have" of JSME easilly-enablabe mods for GWX 2.1 (and NYGM) ? A big thread (a kind of poll) would allow each member to let know his favorites. Then, let's say the "top 20" would be put into a new "Mods' Hit Parade" sticky post.

Silly idea ?

Best regards to all, and thanks once again. Bis bald, wieder to this damn (too well garded !) big convoy.
