@Wreford-Brown, Stiebler

well I got it finally:DL

Stiebler's needs to be applied to an already 4Gb patched h.sie's V15G2 file

I enabled the LargeAddressAware flag to h.sie she.exe

So I got my Stiebler patched sh3 exe:yeah:

Unfortunately Stiebler_Surrender_Smoke_CAM mod causes CTD to my SH3GWX

How can I enable this mod only for Surrender and SmokeOnTheHorizon options?

I tried to delete in the Data folder Air, Roster and Sea folders, but no good

That's not correct. It works with a non-4GB-patched V15G2 exe, too. Tried it yesterday

Use HsieOptionsSelector.exe

I mean that h.sie's sh3 must have the LargeAddressAware flag ON...not to apply 4 GB patch via HsieOptionsSelector.exe

Used it...no good

it's not nice with all these patches. obviously some guys get confused. I also don't like it. but I see no other solution, since it is not allowed to directly share the patched exe. (please, not again a discussion about that).

@Stiebler, SqaureSteelBar and others: Thanks for giving support here.

@Robin40:
What is this flag? It forms no part of the patch-kit that I released, so far as I know. Probably you should turn it off again.

I would guess that you are using the supplied *example* files en_menu.txt and de_menu.txt, included with the patch for the convenience of NYGM users, and taken from the NYGM super-mod. Instructions for GWX users to modify their own en_menu.txt file are included with the package. The key feature is to cut-and-paste some of the lines from the NYGM versions of these files to your GWX versions, as explained in the instructions (file Stiebler_Surrender_Smoke_CAM_for_V15G2_Sh3.txt).

Change these lines in your GWX copies of en_menu.txt (and de_menu.txt) thus:
566=Scuttling charges set! 10 minutes to abandon boat! Set U-boat to crash-dive!
2905=Abandon U-boat!
4809=Prepare to abandon U-boat!
4810=Prepare to abandon U-boat!

Then REMOVE the supplied en_menu.txt de_menu.txt files from your folder Stieber_Surrender_Smoke_CAM\data\menu, and replace them with the GWX copies which you have just created.

Good luck,
Stiebler.

VERY IMPORTANT: READ THE MANUALS BEFORE STARTING TO PATCH

Manuals read

I open Hsie Option Selector

My computer is 32 bit, so I uncheck the 4 Gbyte box (64-bit computers only)

I patch...I run GWX...CTD

So I apply LAA (see http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...1&postcount=15) and I see that LargeAddressAware flag is OFF

I turn LAA flag ON in the SH3V15G2

bingo...GWX runs fine and I can apply Stiebler's patch

If I got it right LAA is exact the same as the 4GB patch and it's only useful on a 64-bit system.

Read the last sentence:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...83&postcount=5

It doesn't matter if you use HsieOptionsSelector or a different patcher which changes that LAA flag - the result is always the same [checked by MD5].

well...it works also on my 32-system

Where did you get this LAA switcher?
I want to check if there's any difference to HsieOptionsSelector or other 4GB patchers.

take a look at #32 of

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=177503

Large Address Aware.exe does exactly the same as HsieOptionsSelector.exe or any other 4GB patcher like this one or privateer's special SH3-4GB-patch. They all set the LAA flag.


Maybe it's a new finding that the 4GB patch has an positive effect on 32-bit systems?
Can somebody confirm that? I'm not very familiar with that issue yet...

take a look at

http://www.lsh3.com/dl/v5/LSH3_V5.1_Installation_EN.pdf

4GB Patch - Installations for all Windows-versions

That's why I said that the box 4 GB Patch (64-bit computers only) in HsieOptionsSelector was misleading

So it's no new finding. The 4GB patch [AKA LAA switch] takes effect on 32-bit systems, too.

However, there's no difference between 4GB patch, LAA or h.sieOptionSelector...

...and it's also possible to apply Stiebler's CAM patch to a non-4GB-patched V15G2-sh3.exe

yep....I advise to clear

64-bit computers only

in h.sieOptionSelector
