[WIP] Wolves of the Kaiser:1914-1918 Mod - Page 67

Admiral Von Gerlach · 11-16-13, 01:09 PM

Sadly this sim is not coded very well for ship to ship combat, so surface combat may be a far reach, simulation of it may be possible but as said by our host here, he has his hands full with the project in hand, and is showing great fortitude in proceeding slowly and step by step in a doable manner.

Yes, Capt Van Valkenberg was a fine man and he loved that ship, it was the joy of his career to be given command of her and she was a happy ship. She was not alone in such an end, there were others, when the british attacked the French fleet at anchor in North Afrika, a similar magazine explosion destroyed another fine ship, and others went in other ways but similar manner.

Yes i am glad our families did not meet at sea that we know of.

Glad the merchant fleet is being enhanced, you are correct there were maybe 10 or 12 basic ship types of that era, and many many variations. A very wise step to make variations that way. Our best wishes do with you in your work.

Take your time IABL. We want a good mod not a rushed mod. I would be willing to wait for decades for this mod if it means it will be great once released.

I haven't been here in awhile and it is nice to see this is still being worked on. I know how difficult and time consuming it can be on work on a project alone, so your dedication is appreciated.

Admiral Halsey · 12-01-13, 10:25 AM

So IABL any news from the front?

IABL updates when he's got something to show.

This is very much done when he's got sufficient spare time.

From my own experience, you can't give a set timescale on anything when you mod, so saying "I will do this on a set date" doesn't work.

Mike.

I know. I just saw an opportunity for some teasing, hence the smileys. Nothing was meant by it, and I apologize if I said it wrong.

Don't worry about it. I knew you were just messing with me and I saw an opportunity to fluster you.

Nah; yer

The way it works with major mod projects you do what you can when you have time and the energy. You know you are looking at years ahead of you and you have to ration your energy for it all, as there is no half way way to do it, it is all or none. So I am sure "I" appreciates our support but his own inner clock and compass will guide him and he has shown the strength and the determination to be a finisher. I have every confidence in him and this fine project which will be a first for the era and the subject.

and btw, it is December 7, and i trust all hands will stop for a moment and give thanks for the service given on that day.

I know I will. If not for some lost paperwork my great-granddad would have been on the Arizona during the attack. Also today is my younger siblings birthday so it's a delicate balancing act for me today.

Admiral Von Gerlach · 12-07-13, 04:36 PM

Your great grand father would have been serving under my cousin Captain Franklin Van Valkenberg if he has gone aboard the Arizona, and might have remained at his post as did the Captain and many of the crew. Thanks for your kind comment.

I've just run into another frustration...I am completely unable to launch S3ditor on my computer, and I'm not sure why. It crashes immediately. I suspect it may be because an automatic update to Microsoft.net framework has made it incompatible. This is very frustrating, and if I cannot find out what the problem is there's no way for me to complete the mod. I am desperately trying to restore my computer to a configuration that will let me run S3ditor.

Not sure if the creator of S3ditor (skwasjer) even visits here anymore.

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit). If anyone has a 64-bit Windows OS and has updated recently , please try to install S3ditor and let me know if it launches.

This could kill the whole project.
