It was directed at a dev that will read this , in my frustration at not being able to find the line , then not knowing how to change it :damn:

sober, if you've found it using CFF just click on the '5' and change it to 4 so that its 74.

Then save overriding the original after you've made a backup of it. :)

I find great enjoyment from disassembling/decoding whatever it is to figure out how it works and then figuring out ways to exploit it and make it do things/behaviors it wasn't designed to do (or was totally overlooked by the engineer who designed it). The military taught me well and gave me great skills (I also taught myself much from reading books) :yeah:

I would like to shake your hand!:up: In recent years, education policy is that all of us disaccustoms think, but the vast majority of people do not read books. I should very difficult to force their children to think, look and make their own decisions.
I always respected self-taught without purchased diplomas.:salute:

I am also one that is proud to say I have NO degree. I have never set foot in ANY college :D Yes, you can be successful without a degree :up: All I have is my military training and everything that I taught myself.
It is quite sad Obelix that education is pushing towards 'automation' and not teaching how to rationalize/problem solve/think. It's very prevalent here in the US and is going to be the downfall of this great country. School kids are REQUIRED to have a $200 calculator that does graphing in my community. These kids have no idea how to do long division let alone graph a quadratic equation. They do know how to type it into the calculator and get the result though :nope:

you must have changed the wrong address. Restore your backup and try again :yep: See above a couple of posts for a screenshot showing the address.

Unfortunately, this practice is widely implemented in Russia, designed ostensibly to improve education.:nope:
But stop, we escaped from the topic, it's time to stop. :timeout: Must speak of this in another topic.

tried it again and it seems to work. dunno about the hydrophones yet

I tried this using the XVI32 HEX Editor and could not located bit to change.
I fired up CFF Explorer and found the bit and changed it successfully.

Sonar is now working as TDW describes.:rock:

For anyone having problems finding the string...You have to click on Find and then change it so it Finds "Looks" for the string in the first post but as a "Decimal" not a "Hex". For some reason it doesnt realize what it is unless it thinks its a decimal.

I realised i had the contacts commented out for the real navigation mod .
;820=Unknown
;821=Warship
;822=Merchant
;823=Submarine
;824=Aircraft
825=Land
How does uncommenting these affect real navigation ?

well you could be mousing over one of the maps and get accidentally shown one of the strings above. But don't worry - the next patch will address this as I just found out where the game reads these strings to show in the hydrophone box. What I'm going to do is make new strings at a different location than the above and point the game to read those so that they can be shown in the hydrophone box and not in the nav maps :rock:

EDIT:

DO NOT UNCOMMENT THOSE! You will add some unwanted functionality into real navigation. Apply patch v0.0.2 to remedy this problem.

TheDarkWraith 03-17-11 11:35 PM

patch v0.0.2 available at post #1 :|\\

Lemme get this straight. We are not breaking the frakin DRM here, but a frakin' bug that Ubi did not bothered to patch/solve it!

So I say, frak Ubi and their lame EULA, release the moded exe.. they can kiss our bottom, damn thief's.
