WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little boy called Joey, he was ten-years-old and he lived in a mental hospital because he posted a crappy copypasta onto a People Playground mod's comment section . He got so bad he went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the Feds decided that best idea was to get rid of him so they set up a special room to kill him, as inhumane as possible. And he sat there in agony for hours until he died. Now every week on the day of his death he returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00 a.m. He creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by pegging you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and he will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes nothing will happen: sorry man i am not taking the risk

Thanks for the reply and no worries!

Your very kind Brian - I haven't given up hope, but I'm afraid it's still on hold at the moment.

Take your time Axe99 and whenever YOU are ready, WE will be ready to support and eventually use your mod! Looking forward to it! :)

alright thanks for letting me know!

Sorry Ratt, it's in the deepest of freezes at the moment. I haven't given up on the idea, but no idea when (as in which year) I'll be able to get back to it. Deffo recommend finding other mods - if/when I get around to this, I'll be sure to mention it here that it's up and running again.

are you still working on the mtg version or no?

Sadly, I fear this will only work reliably with 1.5.4 - there's a lot of other things that have been introduced since then, and the country and OOB files in the mod won't reflect that (and there'll probably be some tech tree issues as well). All being well, next year will be a better one - once I'm over the "MtG hump", updating should become fairly easy again (and I'll endeavour to make it good enough that you'll look at MtG :) ). Until then, and afterwards, enjoy HoI4 :)

Dont sweat it, I dont play MtG and I rolled my game version back to 1.8.2 :D

Sorry, this is still only pre-MtG compatible. It's been a crazy year at my end, so the amount of progress I've been able to make updating it is negligible (not nothing, but with MtG I basically need to redo the ship designer, the naval tech trees, and all of the OOBs, plus do the gfx to make the ship designer work with the new modules). I do hope to continue making progress in the New Year (and have some time off over Christmas that I'm also hopeful of getting some stuff done), but I'd look at other naval mods at least for the time being.

does this still work?

Nice one - Drach is a great place to do it, his vids are top-drawer :)

Cheers! I am starting to get into ships more courtesy of 'Drachfinel' on youtube XD

Thanks for your kind words as well Commissar Admiral :)

Hey RyansPlace, thanks for your kind words :) I'm actually _slowly_ getting moving on an MtG-compatible version. However, as you can probably imagine, to get something like the ship designer authentic, there's a fair bit of work involved (one piece of which is that I want to make the visual representation of ships profile instead of plan view, because I think it'll make player choices more obvious visually). You're very welcome to use anything in TWAS that's there at the moment, though, if it's helpful. I'm still very early days in getting moving on things (so still a bit clueless), but if you're feeling lucky you're welcome to ask questions as well :)

Aye he's got good stuff!

@Axe99 - I just discovered your mods. I'm impressed with the detail and art that went into your content that gives it an authentic feel. I'm the dev on MTG Expanded. Your work is definitely giving me some ideas. Are you still in a holding pattern on reviving this work?

Not that I imagine it's getting a lot of use these days, but this is now updated to (hopefully) work with the new PDX launcher.

yes it is, its like an old car that just refuses ta die

That's a pretty good innings for a PC at least :).

well i've had this thing for about 12 years

Be careful to back up things - my computers have always gone to the great silicon home in the sky within a few months of sending messages like that. Good luck!

You can never keep this major down and out, although me computer is trying its hardest to die on me or something like this its sending mixed messages about the whole dying thing.

Good to still you're out and about Major :)

Dankeschön Kommissar

Jahwol Haupman!

HMM it seems zat zis comments section has been somewhat revived

I'm very glad it still brings enjoyment :). That said, I'm _really_ keen on what's possible with 1.7.1 - just an abysmal year for modding.

And tbh mate, sometimes I just throw the game back to 1.5.4 and play that instead xD

Cheers Commissar Admiral :).

faved the mod, I'll hear about it whenever you get round to it :)

Thanks for asking Maektig-, and showing an interest :)

At this point nowhere I'm afraid - been a bit of a year, with family and health issues. It's still on the cards, but it's a long way off.

How is it going with updating the mod?

For sure Commissar - I'm still super keen on HoI4, and hopeful, but IRL at the moment has got other things happening, some of which are well out of my control, which is why I don't want to get anyone's hopes up. If you stay subscribed to these comments, then if/when something happens, you'll get a notification :).

You have been my saviour, please, if you ever do update this do it in a seperate mod, I play 1.5.4 exclusively now xD

Am very sorry to do this, but other things have come up that mean this is going to be a _long_ way off. Rather than string people along, I'm going to put TWAS on hold again, and then the next time there's a proper update here it'll be when I have something to share - but it'll take a minor miracle for it to be sometime this year, and there's a fair chance it'll be well into the next at best.

In the meantime (and more generally), I can happily recommend Elouda's Naval Rework Mod - see https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1687056790&searchtext=naval+rework+mod

Hey Fleet of Oceans, afraid health's still a bit iffy, so not much progress made yet, so best to try other mods while waiting. No indication things are terminal though, so eventually TWAS will get updated!

Anyone else getting hyped for the war at sea. I know I am.

Cheers Fleet of Oceans. Am afraid I've been unwell since a little before the launch of MtG, so progress has been super-slow, but starting to feel a little better, and hopefully the pace will pick up a bit soon :).

Very much looking forward to this. Please take your time, as all the best mods are the ones that are not rushed. Keep up the good work. :)

Just a couple of friendly chats with Elouda, that's all him (but it is a good mod to check out, and unlike TWAS which is still months away (I'm afraid I've had a nasty virus the last couple of weeks and progress has been slow - got most of the gun modules scripted and then it'll be on to putting them on a tech tree) you can play NRM now (I haven't had a chance to play it yet, but I'd happily recommend it as well worth a look on the strength of both Elouda's skills as a modder and his understanding of ships - he understands both hydrodynamics and ballistics better than any other gamer I know, including me :).

so you seem to have had a hand in the naval rework mod eh?

Hope the install moves as quickly as possible Major!

oh how i regret that choice im gonna need a smaller tv. shite

tfw you're gonna have to wait for a hours for shogun 2 to install...

so its gonna cost blood sweat tears and time then.

I'm hoping not that long Major - but best guess is 2-3 months for a 'preliminary' version with the new designer sorted, but until I've got all the modules scripted (and any early naval combat tuning that seems appropriate), and started going through each hull type, it's a bit hard to tell how long that'll be. After that, I'll add in the historical models, and then after that get down and dirty with tuning the combat some more.

yeah somewhere in the ball park of a year at least.

Cheers for the kind words @Without Reason :). I'll do my best to give you good reasons to enjoy the mod once I've got it updated (but, as per previous comments, this'll take a while).
