[TEC] SH5.exe patches to fix bugs and add functionality

With the way I have my new code setup I have commonly used functions placed in the first 0x2000 bytes of the new code sections. All the other functions fall after this 0x2000 bytes. I know the exact address of every support function (and every other function) - this means I can call a support function in SH5 from SHSim or vice versa if need be It's next to impossible to do this with code injection (it can be done but it's very messy)

I understand now. Thank you!

Still no joy, TDW. Here's what I've done up to this point;

1) Using JSGME I disabled New_UIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith.

2) Using the previous Generic File Patcher I disabled all the previously selected options.

3) I then deleted all the files associated with the previous patch.

4) Next I installed Generic File Patcher v 1.0.39.0

5) It was at this point, on trying to open the new Patcher, that I got the first ERROR message that I sent you prior to your above quoted message.

6) The next time I tried the new patcher after running CCleaner and Registry Booster and doing a shutdown and restart I got the following ERROR message upon trying to open the new Patcher again;

Error

X File to patch not specified in patch file

7) Using Notebook, I opened the file, TDW_SH5_pPatches.s5p file, and, sure enough, on the first two lines, [EXE] and then Path=, there is no file to patch specified.

Any ideas as to what I might try next?

Thanks, Quink

You should have backed up the exe shcollisions and shsim files before applying the patch . Too late now . Uninstall all the mods . Reinstall the game but choose to keep the saves . Patch to 1.2 . Backup the files then apply the patches .

Maybe you should try to reinstall the game?

EDIT: Sober said it before me

If the filename is missing in the s5p file then the s5p file is corrupt. The Path= being blank is ok - that means the app will prompt you for the path to the file.

If you have a corrupt s5p file then I would say your download of the patcher was corrupt. I'd try redownloading it again.

You have to enable/disable the battlestations ability (F7) in order for the doors to close/open

What do you mean by still get the damage to the hull at the depth of 7-8 meters? Where was this occurring at (what place on map)? Your sub was in very shallow waters of 7-8 meters and you were taking damage to the hull?

[Fidd]

is this patch still relevant for stock 1.2 version of the game?

(incredible work btw)

No.. Not in shallow waters..
I mean, when I going to the bottom from the surface (it was 100-150 meters under the keel) and the distance to the bottom is 7-8 meters, I'm starting to get damage like before the patch..
I hope you could understand what I mean..
Sorry my English again..

I'll have to fire up OllyDebug and see what's going on. Can you give me approximate map coordinates of where you were?

[volodya61]

Yes, sure I can..
It will take a little time .. something happened with my network..
I'll post it in this post like "EDIT:"

EDIT: These are some screens (patch Sub on bottom fix) - http://www.gamefront.com/files/21810160/To+TDW.7z

EDIT2: Patch Close/open sub doors on Battlestations activated/deactivated works fine.. it was a problem with my PC.. (something wrong with F7-button)

As usual, the Gospel according to St. TDW is correct! It was, indeed, a corrupt download of the patcher. Afer downloading a new one all now works perfectly.

My sincere thanks
