Will modders be able to mod SH5 stuff into SH4 ?

[THE_MASK]

Will modders be able to mod SH5 stuff into SH4 ? I would imagine that this would be good .

i hope so but i was thinking it might be better to try and bring sh3 into sh5 so "everything" doesnt have to be redone if you know what i mean.


if sh5 is a dissappointment then maybe it can be completely rebuilt from scratch by modders to un-arcade the game and still keep the game engine enhancements

i think also that if sh5 is a big enough flop then you will see GWX4 restarted and that could be the finishing touch sh4 always needed

I guess its different game engine

Are you a gambling man per chance?

I'd be more interested to see if SH4 stuff could be ported into SH5. What can i say, my first true sub love will always be fleetboats. If anyone were to form a team to try and make a Fleetboat mod for SH5, id unretire myself to join it to do a bit or piece. Its much easier to focus on one aspect, and not all aspects. (trying to do most of it myself isn't something id attempt ever again.)

I'd take that wager personnally. I do not believe for one instant that GWX is over and done with. Modding is an addiction, and there's too much emotional investment involved all things considered. GWX will be back eventually, and ill say i told you so when you do. :P

So you keep stating....and I just knew you would come through those swinging saloon type doors ya bugga

At what point in time do you want me to say "you were wrong/misguided"?

To the best of my knowledge and belief, The Grey Wolves have retired.

Elements do keep in regular contact at The Lair and via TS but that is a natural consequence when you consider the close friendships that people have developed.

The only possibility I can imagine would be one or two at the most doing some joint modding work on an ad hoc basis.

I doubt this community will ever see the old hands forming a collective unit as was done for GWX.

As for moving SH5 elements into SH4, some great mods have been made for SH3 after SH4 was looked at closely (Water Streams comes to mind).

If SH4 works as advertised, it may be better to mod it to have desired elements, as Ducimus says.

Or hope for a fleet boat add-on.

@ jimbuna - yes i know the original GWX team is done but they arent dead and i know if i quit modding i would want someone to continue my unfinished work if i trusted them to do it with respect (IE not turn it into a lego mod or something lol)

so with this in mind is why i said GWX is possible to return even if its finished with new members taking over. if in some way you see this as not being GWX they i can go along with it but in some form the mod started as GWX4 i think will give berth one day.


@ ducimus - i have been thinking you would do an OP monsun style mod for sh5 to bring fleet boats to the atlantic and i even was willing to say i would bet money on it because its the kind of new challenge i thought would be very attractive to you. so i am very happy to hear you are thinking about doing it.

I think as things stand at the present....The Grey Wolves and GWX (including the work of GWX4 thus completed or in a state of abeyance) are in a state of retirement.

I can't say definitively what might happen in the future.....who can?

I can say there are currently no plans in place/store to recommence work on GWX4 or commence modding work on SH5 when it's released.

On a personal note...I'm simply looking forward to the release of SH5 and exploring/enjoying the game, then seeing what ensues.

Just HOW would we know the answer to that right now???????

Sober, I think you need some rest with the SH5 speculations right now, that we know of already lol

Don't worry mate! We'll see in time... Maybe yes, maybe not

What's this? The Grey Wolves are coming out of retirement? Well folks, you heard it here first hand from the man himself - the Grey Wolves are joining together to work on SH5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you got a name for the mod yet Jim; GWX5?

[Hitman]

I wish we can mod all Sh5 stuff into Command Aces of the Deep now that would give us a GREAT subsim but let's wait and see Sh5, who knows, it might be as good as that already
