Realism- and gameplay-related hardcode fixes for SH3.EXE - Page 250

Stiebler · 02-17-14, 10:36 AM

@Wolf52:

I can no longer remember which version is in "NYGM Bad Weather Fix V1". I can't find a copy.

However, NYGM addon 3.6D has a copy of envsim.act dated 24 Nov 2011, while the Stiebler 4b hard-code patch currently has envsim.act dated 7th July 2012.

The latest version will certainly be the best of the three, but there isn't a large difference between them.

Just download either NYGM3.6D or the Stiebler 4b code patch from my signature below, and copy out the envsim.act file into a folder that you can install with JSGME. Don't attempt to use any other files from these mods, since they need further files to run properly.

Stiebler.

Thanks Stiebler! Looking forward to some sensible weather.

I run the patch and its tell me its found a compatible EXE. I run the batch file. I see the old exe file and the new. When I go to run the Option Selector I'm told there is not exe file there.
Any advise?

@q65:
Place the Options Selector file and the new SH3.exe file in the same folder. Remove the original SH3.exe file.

Stiebler.

Wolf52 · 02-22-14, 05:14 PM

Hi Stiebler, you may want to check out that file you directed me to in the hard code patch, ever since i put it in my game I cannot start any missions without it crashing. I did not use any files other than envsim.act.

q65 · 02-22-14, 06:53 PM

Thanks for the Help. I found it's the AVG that is causing me all kinds of problems.

Stiebler · 02-24-14, 02:31 PM

@Wolf52:
Concerning envsim.act:
I have now had the chance to carry out a patrol with the envsim.act from the Stiebler 4b Addon patch, the file envsim.act being dated 7th July 2012.

I had no CTD at any time, and the weather changed in the manner expected.

There must be some other cause of your problem reported above on Feb 22nd.

Stiebler.

First of all, great work H.Sie! Some really annoying little bugs tackled and some cool features to boot.

However, I'm having problems. I think I've done everything to the letter, but I get an error saying:

Incompatible sh3.exe version found
hsie.act not started.
Patches not applied.

I've put my patched .exe here after patching in the main folder with Patch_SH3.bat http://www.flickr.com/photos/57278801@N04/12779927513/in/photostream/

I've made all other necessary amendments to the games files.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm running GWX on Windows 8.

Wolf52 · 02-25-14, 06:53 PM

Stiebler, hope you didnt go through a whole patrol just to figure this out. I went back to the version I mentioned earlier from h.sie's files dated 4/23/2011 and that file seems to work. The other one just immediately crashes the game after the mission loading progress bar loads fully. It happens both with career and single missions.

Lokisaga · 02-26-14, 12:26 AM

Hi all,
Thanks to all of you I finally got h.sie's wonderful fixes working.

steevo45 · 03-18-14, 11:55 AM

Just checking. Those GWX add ons from Steibler a few posts below are the ones that give you (after patching the SH£,exe) all the options like fido torps, shallow water asdic etc. Asking cos watched a video on how to install Steibler's mod in steam and the add ons he used looked different. Please correct my ignorance if wrong and inform where those options add ons are.
Help much appreciated cos been looking forward to enriching my SH3 experience for a long time with this mod but getting nowhere with Windows 8 compatibility problems.
Thnx to all those great subsim modders, we salute you!

Hello, i have a problem with steam version of SH3 and hardcode fixes. I use Windows 8. Tried to patch SH3.exe by patch, but it doesnt work. I saw tutorials made by desertstriker.
Patch still reports that i have "non compatible version of SH3.exe".
Is it caused by Windows 8 ?
Thanks in advance.

barel80 · 03-19-14, 09:49 AM

Problem solved after reinstalling SH 3

Probably caused by the Steam version, which is not the same as the publisher's version. (Lots of good ol' DRM.) A public version of SH3 will cost you less than $10, DVD or download. It's an easy way to avoid problems with mods and patches.

steevo45 · 03-19-14, 10:22 AM

YES, the same thing happened!
Finally managed to patch the SH3 exe with HSei's patcher but the other part with Steibler's GWX3 4B Addon for V16B1 siad couldn't find a compatible version of .exe.
VERDAMMT!! was so looking forward to those juicy mods in the Hsei option selector.
Thought I could do it by turning off firewall and virus protection but no!
Anybody out there who can help us using Windows 8?
