interesting...:hmmm:

test version v0.0.4: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3A6F25NA

now I should see why it's not creating the gradients

run the Dbgview app first then the SHMapViewer app. This way I have some debug feedback to see what's going on. Send me output of Dbgview app if doesn't work.

use the new version 0.0.4 and under Dbgview-->Capture ensure:
- Capture Win32 is checked
- Pass-Through is checked
- Capture events is checked

Capture Win32 wasn't checked. Now DebugView works at least.

thanks for taking the time to test and help me figure out why some users are having problems :up:

test version 0.0.5: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W0N9I8WM

Still trying to figure out why can't create gradients for some :hmmm: Hopefully this sheds more light on it

Maybe there's an entry of an older SH3 installation in registry?

Look for this hive key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter III
InstalledPath...... REG_SZ -> ????
Path ................ REG_SZ -> ????

???? = entries of an old installation ?

Did you move or copy the SH3 installation folder to a different path?

I'm reading the registry to get this info. What does your registry key say the install path is? I'm looking for this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter III

could also be:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Ubisoft\Si lent Hunter III

and I'm looking for the value of InstalledPath

okay this finally tells me something.
you see the 'map: creating gradients' which is good. The next entry should be 'Gradient: creating gradient'. This entry is the first thing the class's constructor does but since it doesn't show up then during class initialization it's failing (variable initialization) :hmmm:
What version of DirectX do you have installed on your computer? What OS are you using?

test version 0.0.6: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O624VRC2

this will give me info on the exception being raised when it tries to create the gradients

Gotta love these problems that only some people experience :shifty: Nature of the beast I guess :-?

Does this app work for anyone here in SH3? I know it works for me but that does me no good.

...I would like to test when anybody answered me my question from post #23 here...:hmmm:

I don´t know furthermore the sense behind this tool, sorry ! :oops:

For what is it ? What can I do with this tool ? How I see this tool work when I start the game ?

Sorry folks, but what are "gradients" ? :hmmm:

Hope I become a longer clearify, then I will test...!

Best regards,
Magic

You know the map that shown in game? This lets you change the colors of it. Plain and simple. SH5 uses a .tga file that specifies the gradient (a list of colors in a line) for the map. SH3 uses an .act file to specify them. This will let you make custom gradients and see what they look like before applying them to the SH3 .act file.
