The people's MOD thinktank.

[Damo]

Hi all,

I know that with SH4 out and SH5 on the way I've arrived at the SH3 party a little late (drank all the beer I was bringin too...), but I had an idea for a mod that I wanted to share as I'm not knowledgeable enough to bring it to life. In fact, I'm sure there are loads of people here that have great ideas but have no idea how to do it, so they don't share them. This thread is designed for those people to share their thoughts and have the more experienced techies explain what is involved, if it's possible or not and for mod makers to glean inspiration for their next masterpiece, either for SH3, 4 or indeed 5. So come on guys and gals, penny for your thoughts...? Oh and by posting your idea here you agree that if somebody then goes ahead and makes that mod, you have no claims to rights or credits unless the modmaker chooses to grant them.

Here's mine:

I was thinking that there seems to be a lot of demand for sub skins and most of the ones that are released are real good. My idea was to have the players U-boat steadily get more and more weathered as the war progresses. It would be achieved through SH3 Commander depending on the date and the relevant skin would be loaded when you start SH3 through Commander, making it automatic. Maybe if a skinner was willing to make up say, 6 skins of each U boat type with each one getting slightly tattier, weathered and even battle scarred we'd be halfway there with just the SH3 Commander integration to work out.

A tall order maybe, but hey, just an idea....
