Title: Repaints
Post by: railways on August 28, 2010, 09:01:48
Hi
   Is it possible to repaint more ships in SSE or is it still exclusive to the P6?

If you can successfully open and edit the files.

I think you need a special program to adjust the ships. :thumbs:

You cannot select alternative paintjobs as you could in SS08, but most of the ships seem to have their DDS files exposed.  So in principal you could probably repaint at least parts of them.

I have a question. Why are the files encrypted? What's the purpose?

I would think it would be so that they cannot be corrupted by players fiddling with them. ::)

VSTEP is kind of the only people who can edit ships to have repaints.

I think that was a mistake to do that. Silent Hunter or any other big simulation games have all their files exposed and they turned out better or with no problems. In SS08 25% of the files were exposed therefore SS08 we were able to make it more realistic by adjusting the horns of ships and lights which succeeded in the end. If someone like a very very silly 15 year old decided to tweak the game and then it crashed, no problem it is his fault and no technical support will be given to that person, simple solution re-install the game. Some people know what their doing therefore they could play a major role into making the game more realistic

THe thing that make Flight Simulator better then SSE is the fact that you can DOWNLOAD MORE STufF FOR FREE!

Flight SImulator is totally different from Ship Simulator as that takes place in the skies.. In the skies you only have clouds and stuff while in Ship SIm you have very detailed Oceans that look very realistic.. Even if you mananged to put a ship into SSE you wont be able to sail it because of the position the ship might be in. Its Vsteps job to adjust ships and make them float and interact with the waves propally. Flying in the sky isnt very hard in a simulator that has planes but going across an ocean that is extreme as it looks is what i call challenging and worth to give credit for the ships we have!

Flight simulator enables you to fly around the ENTIRE WORLD!
Ship Simulator DOESN'T!

Flight simulator also has detailed oceans.

Anyway, maybe its just the way the creators made SSE. maybe they made it too complex to make it more real, all in all, SSE is one of the COOLEST ship sims out there.

SSE's Oceans are far more detailed than the ones from FSX

Does SSE around you to move around the ENTIRE GLOBE?

FSX is 16.9GB if awesomeness while SSE is 1.57GB of limitedness

I don't want to be rude, but why don't you go back to FSX then? You made your point..  ::)

......SSE is one of the COOLEST ship sims out there.

If so, why are you not registering your copy of SSE in your Profile in this Forum ?

You have been reminded by other Moderators too !!!

well the thing is, the game aint mine, it's my friends so I borrowed it. He hasnt registered it either and has they key and I also have it but I dont want to register something that aint mine.

That goes to say, you have installed it on your computer and to get it working, you have also made use of the License Key. This is illegal since as per the terms of the EULA it can be legally installed ONLY on ONE computer. It is also highly possible that you are using a "copied" version and that amounts to software piracy !!!!

As vin_sun says, this use of the software is not allowed. I would suggest you get and register a license key of your own forthwidth, then we shall not have to take the steps normally taken with these matters.

Thanks

Fred

I dont want to be rude but.....what a freaking *******.. when you lean the game to a friend and you have also registered the key , whats wrong whit that ??? ???
My idea to hamdhan is that he discuss with his friend wo of them registers the key on a forum account, he or he's friend. Simple idea !:) !:)
The one of them whats most active on forum, or maybe his friend hasn't got a forum account. !:)
Eemshoorn
Hi!
 Not to butt-in on your problem.. But if I understand your post correctly, you plan to share an account so that you both don't have to buy the game?
 If so, just a heads up. The following from Forum Rules:
   "Impersonating Other Users / Accessing Another User's Account / Owning Multiple Accounts
You may not impersonate another board member or create an account specifically for the purpose of provoking other users. Also, accessing or using someone else's account or attempting to access another poster's account is strictly prohibited. Creating / owning multiple accounts is prohibited. Owning multiple accounts will at least lead to an immediate ban of all but your first account. "


I hope all works out!

As a note, Eemshoorn..  It's unlikely that a friend whose game someone is using uninstalls it and doesn't use it for the duration of the time that the other one is also using it.

And you can't register a key twice anyway.

So if they are both using the game at the same time, than this is just not allowed, easy as that.

If his friend has uninstalled and unregistered the game for the duration, then that's okay. Experience teaches us though, that this rarely is the case, or that the 'it's my friend's game' is often not a fact but an excuse. Which I won't claim in this case, that's going too far.. but just FYI.

Fred

Well, let me at least ask you then, did your friend stop using the program for the duration that you are now using it?

Cause if not, you're in violation of the EULA.

Fred
Title: Re: Repaints
Post by: Ballast on February 23, 2011, 15:17:22
I think we are the ones that are being misunderstood Eemshoorn  ;)

Before the installation of the game you agreed with the EULA - If you didn't accept it, the installation would simply be cancelled.

In the EULA you could have read that it's illegal to use 1 serial on multiple machines:

Quote
1. Limited Use License. Owner grants you the non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right and license to use one copy of the Program solely for your personal use on a single computer.

Is it now clear?  ;)
Title: Re: Repaints
Post by: Mad_Fred on February 23, 2011, 18:46:32
But you ARE in violation of the EULA, that's what's wrong with it.  ;)

Just to make it VERY simple.

You may only use.. one game.. for one installment.. on one computer.. for one player. That is what the EULA says, and that is what you agree too if you install the game. One user, one pc, no more.

Doing anything other than that means the consequences are for yourself. This is the law.. there is no use for agreements between friends, you simply are NOT ALLOWED to do this. See the quote that Ballast posted.

There is nothing more to it, and the rule is non negotiable. You may - this is the one and only exception - use a second installment to run a dedicated server, however. But that clearly is not the case in this matter.  ;)

Fred

I have installed the game on 2 pc`s FROM MYSELF. One by my dad`s company (on my own pc that i have there) and one at my home pc.
And I don't worrie about the ( sorry for that) stu*** laws the law can say what he wants to say but I have nothing with that.
IT ARE MY OWN PC`S SO WHATS THE PROBLEM ???

And I run no second server, I play it the most time on one pc at the same time, so i don't worrie about it because i have it not leaned to friends. :doh:

Regards,
Eemshoorn

You will need to buy two SSE, one for your home PC and one for your PC at your dad's company.

To put this in context, you are not allowed to buy a copy of Microsoft Windows operating system and install it on two different PC's and then use the software at the same time.

Do you not understand the EULA then?  You are only allowed to actively use it on one computer. That's what it says in the license agreement. Not even for yourself, just ONE computer.

And Hamdhan, your violation is worse, cause you and your friend then share one game. That's also, and more so not allowed. Again, I ask you.. did your friend stop using the program, or are you both using it at once?

VSTEP is like MI5
they wait about 40 years and when the software is out of date and there is no computers with the wright software they say it

I dont play it at the same time >:(, HOW MANY TIMES MUST I SAY THAT AGAIN i play it on the same key on forum account for multiplayer.


Whatever I do what I do, i install it on 2 pc`s FROM MYSELF!! and the law EULA doesn`t interest me :C :-X :doh:
In the Netherlands they say: DAAR HEBBEN WE LAK of ****** AAN WANT HET ZIJN MIJN EIGEN PC`S EN HET IS MIJN EIGEN SPEL, EN NIET DIE VAN EEN VRIEND. :-\

(******= a dutch word that`s not allowed by the forum....)


Or must I buy 2 exemplars to install it on 2 pc`s while it are my own both pc`s and NOT from a friend, i'm not crazy that costs me €80,- WHILE IT ARE MY OWN PC`S  :doh: :doh::o   I don't know but ........ whats the problem here???

Sorry for my mad reply but.........

@Captainbest and Larsdehaan this was not to you.

to be onest Microsoft have the same system
in fact many company's have the same system.
it like buying a phone. you cant copy it from one phone to the over  phone
if you read the manual it will say it not alowed
as we can track where we all live (through IP) you cold have a police man at the door and they WILL take the computer and may swipe the hole thing. all the documents and other programs and maybe your os.
this software costs to make over 100,000 euros to make, if not more. and they need profit as this software is used by the navy and sea training schools

well if people do not wish to play by the rules and feel the need to be rude, we shall do what needs to be done to ensure that in the future, they shall respect the rules that are the same for everyone, a little better.

Topic locked aswell, it's pointless to go in circles.
