@privateer: Sorry, it took more than a week for me to understand what you meant when you wrote "You'd waste your time patching the starforced exe" or similar.

If I correctly understood privateer in some older posts and PMs, he means the cracked starforce exe. Using the original starforce exe from Ubi with DVD... is fine.
So, as I understand it: -original/official starforce exe: fine -cracked starforce exe (mentioned in Neal's post about playing without DVD): buggy -official non-starforce exe: fine |

Thanks LGN1, for the clarification.
That means: Adding longer repair times to the cracked SF-version does not make sense since it's instable. And since I don't want to install starforce drivers on my PC, I also cannot add longer repair times to uncracked SF-version. So for the SF-version users there remain 3 options to use my longer repair times mod: 1) buy NON-SF version for some bucks. 2) find a person who has both versions (SF and NON-SF) and creates a "transformation-kit", that changes the SF-version into the NON-SF-version using the bsdiff/bspatch utils as described in the former posts here... 3) wait for christmas. maybe..... |

At least, that's how I understand privateer's last post in this thread:

 The result is the same thing like copying the non-sf files from the 'owner of both versions' to the 'owner of only sf files'... |

@SSB: Yes, the result is the same. But copying is not a very nice word.
Copying is software duplication. Patching or "transforming" not. I have no problem to upload patches/corrections for free download, but I'd never upload exe's, but maybe I'm a little bit old-fashioned.

I think it's no difference what type of file is modded. As I already mentioned here: the intention is decisive... SH3 includes more than 20,000 files and every single file is copyrighted. Since more than five years we change these files even by hex editing dat files etc. If UBI was annoyed of that this forum didn't exist anymore... Another aspect is: there seems to be no problem if the owner of a legal SH3 [with SF] copies noDVD files [even cracked files] to his machine [described here by Uncle Neal himself]... It's a good idea to contact Uncle Neal for this... Last edited by SquareSteelBar; 09-14-10 at 10:28 AM. |

Yes, after reading uncle's Neal post about how unofficial starforce patch becomes legal by UBI itself (link above) probably you can share the coursed file directly. Obviously after contact Neal first. Now go back to work, this mod is really an fresh air for Sh3!

...but there's nowhere a link to the modified exe/files. Instead it says explicitly: 'Do not post links in this forum'
It seems to be only 'half-legal'. |

It would be great if Neal could make a statement about the whole issue. It's a bit absurd.
Anyway, back to some modding stuff: I tested the submerged endurance of some boats in game. Here are the results: IIA: 30h VIIC: 36h IXB/IXD2: 40h XXI: 46h I could not observe any difference between a crew with max. number of men and with min. number of man (tested it only with the VIIC). In addition, I could not observe any effect from silent running. I guess good numbers would be: II: ? VII: 72h IX: 72h XXI: 150h It would be great if 'silent running' changed these times, e.g., without silent running the time would be only x percent of the max. time. Cheers, LGN1 |

I'll contact Neal. Indeed an absurd situation.
In the meantime I could locate the routines which are responsible for the "nearest visual contact" output. Now they have to be optimised. Currently thinking about how to program that in an easy-to-do and realistic-looking way. Any suggestions? Should I only make the range more inaccurate or also the bearing ? h.sie Last edited by h.sie; 09-14-10 at 03:45 PM. |

Great news, h.sie
Maybe the bearing accurate up to 10 degrees and the distance up to 1000m
