[TEC] Mod Tools, HowTo

Safe-Keeper · 03-01-10, 01:12 PM

I'm just about speechless. This is incredible. Terrain editing, script editing, menu editing, campaign editing... there's no end to the things you can do with this.

If only the GWX team had this many tools when they made their supermod

. Maybe some or all of it can be ported?

What do these "nodes" do? Do they have to do with traffic or someething?

Well , seems that despite the drawbacks , limitations , and half finished game it´s like a blank board where modders can do everything they want.

That HAS to be the worst thing a dev would like to hear. Let's not go overboard just yet. There are a few things missing but I wouldn't call the game a "blank board".

Wow these tools are very promising!

Now if only I could figure out how to access them :-)

I did the changes in main.cfg but when I right click on the SHV taskbar when it's running I only see the standard window controls (restore, maximize, that sort of thing). Running Windows7 here.

which main.cfg did you edit?

You need to do it in the one in your \My Documents\SH5\ folder.. not in the main game path.

Doh!

Yes that was it, thanks Gutted, it's working now.

gutted · 03-01-10, 10:41 PM

Cool... now make an awesome mod

Some outstanding modding capabilities here... this could possibly be the subsimming plataform of our dreams. We just need to join our efforts and make it possible.

And DRM shouldn't be an obstacle. Not anymore.

Cheers

Now it looks not we buy a subsim game.... we buy a subsime engine and maybe we could make the Sim of our dreams...

True that. I'm a very talented programme/scripter, but suck and at artwork and models. Guess which part Ubisoft probably did ok at?

My first hunch is that these are traffic lanes where ships/convoys may choose alternate routes. I.e. shipping routes are possibly less scripted than they were before. I did notice that traffic shows up in a lot more places than I would've expected; I also noticed traffic actually avoiding coasts (not always successfully). I suspect that the traffic scripting has undergone a pretty big overhaul towards the dynamic.
