Best Hi-Resoultion recommended for Sh3
 

My monitor is native 1680x1050, i just downloaded the Hi-Res fix from here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//dow...o=file&id=1092
My question has two parts, hopefully some of you experienced SH3 guys/gals can help me, i've never changed the resolution from the stock 1024 res. I've been adding mods all night and i figured now would be the time to test it since i got some good looking mods and i would love to see it at that res.

1. is this the best resolution mod for sh3? I read somewhere that it elongates the images is that true?

2. Can i run it at my native 1680x1050?

Hey roc, I use native 1650x1080 and have had that hi-res mod for a few days. It doesn't look any different proportionally to the stock settings. I'm also loving the extra accuracy that the higher res gives me on the nav map!

sweet i just finished a patrol im gonna install it now

looks great but i got a problem now, lol , my button for deck gun and flak gun are not responding meaning F10 and F11 arent working does anyone know how to reset these? I also installed the pennant mod which adjusts these values , i rolled it back but it still must be messed up. Does anyone ever have this problem where f10 and f11 didnt work? Or which file you have to edit in order to make it work?

I'm running GWX3.0 on a 22" widescreen at 1680x1050 without any problems.

Problems can occasionally start when the Hi-Res mod is added.

Huh. I tried f10 and f11 and you're right. They don't work. I never use those hotkeys anyway so it doesn't really bother me.

Keystroke commands are defined in SilentHunterIII/data/Cfg/Commands_en.cfg

The SH3 default commands for F10 and F11 look like this.

[Cmd19]
Name=Deckgun_camera
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F020005
Key0=0x79,,"F10"
Page=0x38000000,3707
GoBack=Conning_deck_camera

[Cmd23]
Name=Cycle_flak_cam
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x7A,,"F11"
MnID=0x3F020006




This useful addition to keystroke commands will instantly enable maximum time compression with a single keystroke by pressing the asterisk (*) key on your numerical keypad. Just add the red line to [Cmd5]

[Cmd5]
Name=Time_compr_increase
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
MnID=0x3F010001
Key0=0x6B,,"Npad +"
Key1=0x6A,R,"Npad *"

Thats a really useful little addition there,is there any chance you could do me one for x128?,as that is the speed I use when crusing,very rarely use anything higher in case of a sudden air attack for exemple.

Thanks.

Hi !

Yea i just checked my commands are the exact same as the stock so something else is doing it

I downloaded the file it looks exactly like the hi-res fix file, are you sure all commands work with this one

I'd also be quite interested in this... x128 would make a great shortcut. :salute:

theres gotta be something effected by the HI_RES fix, looking thru the .DLL i dont see any extensions that change the button pathway. Even all the CFG files are correct, this is defiently over my head. SO.. i need a real SH3 file expert to figure this one out.

This change only allows you to go instantly to one set MAXIMUM TC. You can set max TC to whatever you want, but if you specify 128X, that's the fastest the game will ever go. Open SilentHunterIII/data/Cfg/main.cfg The 2nd item is Time Compression. Note this is my modified file with several altered (non-stock SH3) values. Change the last line to whatever you want (and your system can support with decent frame rates).

[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=512 <= lets time go faster near land default = 32
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=1
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=2
CharacterAnim=4
EnemyDetected=1
RadioReport=128 <= doesn't work; TC still drops to 1X; default = 1
Particles=8
PrayState=128<= time passes faster while waiting; default = 32
HunterState=256 <= time passes faster while waiting; default = 32
3DRender=32
Maximum=4096 <= you need a fast CPU and video card for this or frame rate slows waaaay down



Remember, SH3 creates a folder in My Documents in which to store your games and careers. It places a copy of main.cfg there too, and it uses that copy, not the one in the game folder, so be sure you change the file in BOTH locations.

^^^ Very good...

Might be worth configuring it this way as I seldom exceed 128x. So it's just a question of the trade off of not being able to exceed, weighed against the convenience of one button acceleration. Good food for thought, thanks! :up:
