Realism- and gameplay-related hardcode fixes for SH3.EXE - Page 260

Sailor Steve · 03-26-15, 09:28 PM

You have to move the SH3.exe into the same folder as the Patch. Then it will change it. After that, move the SH3.exe back into the SH3 folder.

I had a lot of trouble with that at first too.

Programfiles folder is not a good folder to use for SH3. Windows is especially overprotective about files in that folder. The system might even interpret a patcher trying to alter SH3.exe as a virus. It would be wise to re-install SH3 into a different folder: for example c:/games/SH3 folder

Thanks, I did not know that you had to do that!

Well, I tried copying in the SH3.exe, and that did not work.

So I re-installed my Direct-to-Drive version of SH3 to c:\games\SH3, and copied in that SH3.exe, and that worked.

But now when I run HsieOptionsSelector.exe, it says no SH3.exe in the directory. But it's right there since I just ran the patch.bat on it.

Now I will put the SH3.exe back in the install dir and re-install GWX and all my mods on top of it I guess.

Do you have the other files required for the Option Selector in the same directory?

maillemaker · 03-27-15, 09:50 PM

OK, it worked this time. I don't know why it did not work the first time. After you run the patcher.bat, you should be able to run the options program.

I figured out how to tell AVG to ignore my sh3.exe file (Tools, Advanced Settings, Resident Shield, Excluded Items).

Got it all set up and it appears to be working. My lazy WO is no longer lazy, and my periscope no longer works at high speed.

And after submerged a while I get the "Oxygen 20%" message.

I installed the new O2 gages Mod. I do not understand how the gages are supposed to work - they do not appear to move while submerged. Even when I got the 20% message the meter was pegged at maximum.

If you stay submerged for a really long time, oxygen level drops eventually to 17 % and then the chief engineer will start using reserve oxygen to allow you keep going submerged. The needle is for the reserve oxygen and once it starts moving it won't move back because the reserves come from cartridges that need to be replenished at ports.

I just get a From: Fdu to: u-32 and no message

Check the full PDF instructions from h.sie, check section 3.1), it explains how to set this up.

It is a manual step required.

Yup got to thinking about it in the shower this morning and it makes sense. The gauge is only for the compressed O2 remaining, not the atmospheric O2 remaining.

Is there a gauge that shows me atmospheric O2 remaining? Or do I have to hope I just see/remember the Engineer's reports?

You have to manually define target heading and speed in order to make a contact report now. This is not done automatically for you. You use the TDC to do it. As noted, it's in the PDF instructions.

No gauge for atmospheric oxygen. One needs to pay attention to the chief engineer's reports or note the time submerged.

Such a great addition to the series. The more I play with this enabled the more immersive the game feels x 10

I still have trouble with AVG

. It just removes the SH3.exe treating it as a virus after I moved it into my real Sh3 folder and try to run it.

You have to choose between :

"
-Even if this file is moved to a new location

-Even if this file has been changed or updated"

Any ideas?
