[TEC] SH5.exe patches to fix bugs and add functionality

As we all know, excessive fiddling with the mod soup can lead to necessary reinstalls of SH5. No problem, as the computer does most of the work. Go have a cup of coffee or a beer and wait for it to finish.

However, I was wondering if I could save myself some time by copying the patched version of sh5.exe to the desktop before uninstalling, then replacing the "fresh" sh5.exe with that one after reinstall? Just to save me some time running the patcher and choosing colors and all that after each reinstall.

I make a 'mod' with the patched exe: I copy sh5.exe into a new folder in MODS, then patch it there with the patcher, then use JGSME to install it. Had no problems so far.

Excellent! That's even better than what I thought to do and it makes it even easier. I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't a problem with using an "old" patched .exe with a new install. Thanks!

Finally got around to trying this. This is a really great, easy to use mod. Congrats TDW.

v1.0.22.0 released. See post #1

This version revamps the patcher app to be generic. It now reads the file and path from patch file that it's supposed to patch.

This version adds a new patch file for shcollisions.act that fixes the broken magnetic detonator

Thank you very much from the sukhoi.ru community

When attempting to run reports message "Error reading patch file C:\-\-\-\TDW_SHCollisions_Patch.s5p"

May be necessary to add files TDWFileUtils.dll and TDWUtils.dll to archive?

Sorry for my English..

EDIT: because if I add these files all works fine...

I think... we should extract these files to old SH5 patcher folder/D:\Games\Silent Hunter 5\SHV MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Applica tions\SH5 EXE Patcher/. I did this and I could open new files/TDW_SHCollisions_Patch.s5p/ and /TDW_SH5_Patches.s5p/. Not sure about this. Maybe TDW can explain a bit more (please, please - and thank you, thank you).

I don't use TDW Ui (in any case great work) and use patcher by itself...

Yes the patcher app relies on DLLs from the game. I cannot legally provide those DLLs in a package so you either place the patcher app in your SH5 directory or let them overwrite the existing files in \data\Applications\SH5 exe patcher

Thanks for the quick reply...
Can I put these files in a separate package for the sukhoi.ru community?

Thank you

Ps. I forgot to ask. This change in Sh5.exe only at start the new campaign - not in the bunker, am I right?
