Realism- and gameplay-related hardcode fixes for SH3.EXE

[woland595]

Good afternoon, everyone.
First of all, thanks for this great patch. It makes game unbelievable cool.
And now my question
It's already discussed four years ago, but i guess some changes could be made.
So, i leave setting of oxygen consumption in Stieblers Options-Selector in default values. I have type VIIB, and almost full crew. TC is 1024, silent running is ON. The renewable hours is only 6 in this conditions. But in 2011 you talking about 14-16 hours, so i guess my hours looks a little bit low. Is it bug or feature?
If it is bug, there are any way to fix it? If it is feature, could i change coefs in option selector and continue my current save games?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

My settings are:

Oxygen in boat: 2.0
Compressed oxygen: 2.5

And it works fine!

Is H.sie done hacking the .exe or will he continue work in the future?
Would love to kill that "squatting and spinning" crew that signals you are being hunted.

Sad to hear that. He has made this game epic. I am wishing him very good health.

I think, this is possible through StateMachineClass controller. In Library folder have .dat files with that controller for different crew members. For example, CH.dat, SO.dat, POSW.dat, UZO.dat.... Search for information, learn how this thing works, and probably you will achieve what you want.

Was a version of this ever done for sh4?

I may look into how difficult it will be to do a remake of H.sie's patches for the cause of making it extendable in the future.
Back in the days when H.sie started out, I was working on the patSH3r-project on the same time; which had pretty much the same goal. I tried to join effort with him (and later on, stiebler too) - wanting to start a open source project of it to avoid a situation like this. But they both refused. They rather had their codes and findings kept closed and secret. My project soon grew incompatible with theirs, and I later decided to kill it.

My hardcode patches are now open source. Everyone can use them, proper credits provided. The assembler sources can be found on my mediafire account. The decision to do this was not easy, because there is a danger of abuse. But there is also a chance for further improvement. Good luck! Unfortunately, I have no time at all to give any support.

@Lanzfeld: Thx for the good wishes. I am fine now.

[Fader_Berg]

Good move.

One last warning: Since the patches are open source now, people with criminal minds could create own SH3-patches in the future, which look good at first sight but do criminal things in the background. So be careful and only trust well known and proven forum members, and, if you are unfamiliar to computers, let experienced people analyse the patches first.

But to be honest: The SH3-community is IMHO too small for being a target group for criminals. Porn is much better suited.

Bunches of kudos!
