Hi iÂ´m new to shipsim, and i was wondering if any of you guys knew where to find some fansites with addons, you know like flightsim.com just for shipsim!?

It seems to me that there is a bit too far between the harbours so it would be cool to find some user created addons.

Wave Music · « **Reply #1 on:** August 12, 2009, 19:43:10 »

Here's the main fansite where you can find addons.

For low quality usermade addons go to Virtual Sailor.

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #2 on:** August 12, 2009, 21:05:25 »

That's not a fansite, that's the official site.

Welcome to the forum. Wellemberg.

This simulation game does not have an open structure like other simulators. The only addons are released by the developers. This doesn't mean 3rd party artists do not help in the creation, but you can only add ships in cooperation with VSTEP.

As such, there are no sites to download free new ships from.

If you allready own the game, and register your license key in your forum profile, you will however find a download link to a free new vessel, that Vstep released as a present to us all. And there are two new vessels in any version over 1.1. too.

Other than that, it is payware.

Regards,
Fred

Why did you restore it?

cptnchris · « **Reply #7 on:** August 13, 2009, 02:42:55 »

refresh? yea i did.

wellemberg · « **Reply #8 on:** August 13, 2009, 11:47:51 »

ThatÂ´s too bad, it should be more like flight sim from microsoft, that would definately attract more people to this sim! maybe in ss10 perhaps!?

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #9 on:** August 13, 2009, 16:12:42 »

Well.. the people that are good enough to create models that are suited for this game, quality wise, allready can contribute.

So no one is stopping the creative addon builders from making ships.

wellemberg · « **Reply #10 on:** August 15, 2009, 21:48:25 »

see what you mean, but where are those guys who can build ships and inviroments!? IÂ´ve seen a few in this forum, but none of them, has made their ships downloadable yet, someone should make a website for user created shipsim addons, donÂ´t you think?

wellemberg · « **Reply #11 on:** August 15, 2009, 21:56:42 »

Mad_fred, iÂ´ve just seen the models youÂ´ve been working on, when will the rest of us be able to download those beauties!?

Wave Music · « **Reply #12 on:** August 15, 2009, 22:22:48 »

Propper quality models are going through the VSTEP team & arrives at the Shipyard or in patches or come with the game itself.

Most of the Vessels Users make don't come up to the high standards of SS, which involve a lot of working making other bits that aren't visible (such as damage models, etc)

If you want downloadble ships VS is the game... (A lot of boats here end up there...)

Maybe not a Addon Fansite but how about just a fansite, I'm Gonna be making a Ship Sim Fansite with www.webstarts.com But I have to get used to it first so I will make it with enough info and a good style to make it a fansite, so it is expected on Christmas morning at 8:00 A.M. in the United States, as a christmas gift for us all from me

Good luck, 10MB is nothing to work on. $:-\$

I'd suggest www.webs.com, I know I shouldn't and alot of web nerds would disagree. But it's the best service for beginners who want free websites.

matt5674 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 16, 2009, 20:02:28 »

thanks Captain Darling,
here is a preview of the fansite at webstarter.com

it has DJM's SS06 and SS08 videos and the SS10 trailer at the bottom. But I'll see what webs.com has with making websites

matt5674 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 20, 2009, 20:52:11 »

I got the fansite up but not on the internet yet. Here is Version 1 of it, it is a bit glitched, but perfect:
http://s1.webstarts.com/ShipSimulatorFansite/index.html
The background couldn't work but made a perfect tranclucent-like background on the ship pictures. Version 2 comes on September 10, 2009, Version 3 is the final verion, the Christmas Edition, comes out December 5, 2009.

It's a nice website, but where did you hear that the Panama Canal would be included?

ccr-lover · « **Reply #19 on:** August 21, 2009, 15:30:24 »

Not a fan site as such, but some pics from ShipSim under the Foto (Photo) link: www.framvik.no.....

this is version 1 of my fansite, version 2 will include a photo section, a forum section, and a updated home page. the main gitch is in the tab bar, it says Titanic fansite, cause I was making a Titanic fansite, webstars kept the name the same but you get te idea. version 3, The Christmas Edition will have 3 new sections, one for SS06, SS08 and SS10. The title on each page will have Christmas Edition 2009 on it. I will have a TinyPic render of the Christmas Edition 2009 title. I will edit this post to have the render

New page!
Now you all can leave comments on giving me help on giving me some improvement ideas to improve the site before version 2. Before you can reply on the page, you need to click the blue lettering to open it. You must put your name in where it says 'Guest' and you can put your improvement idea on your comment:

Background improvements are not likely. and Here is the design of Version 2 of the Fansite's Logo in the Attachment. Close to the Impact Italics design on the name of the Games.
EDIT: Attachment won't work for me so Here is a TinyPic version, Don't bother clicking the Attachment:

Mad_fred, iÂ´ve just seen the models youÂ´ve been working on, when will the rest of us be able to download those beauties!?

Sorry, I missed this remark back there.

I do not know yet. This is just the modeling stage. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. There's much, much more to it than just making a model, you cannot just stick a finished model in a game, it takes weeks or rather months of hard work to get it all done so that it will have all the necessary jobs done to make it actually work in a game.

So, I cannot guanrantee anything, I just do modeling myself, not the rest of it. Depends on wether or not I can manage some other jobs that need to be done, that I have no experience with, and wether or not Vstep even wants them, and has the time and manpower to do their part of the jobs.

Regards,
Fred

Erm...I guess I'll be the one to say this. Do we really need another fansite? There are about 50 more out there.

Wave Music · « **Reply #24 on:** August 30, 2009, 18:52:11 »

Indeed. What could be wrong with this site that mostly each of you want to create their own fansite/forum?
Wait... Each one wants to feel him self in admin/mod chair, I reckon. Like "I'm the allmighty admin of my site & I can do whatever I want on my site!", right?
