LSH 2020: install looking for existing copy SH3.EXE issue

12-31-20, 12:27 PM

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, guys, but the newest LSH-2020 violates the Subsim copyright rules!

It was always forbidden and considered piracy to include the SH3.exe into a mod.
This is the case with LSH 2020, it includes a complete SH3.exe file.
It has always been the guys from CCOM and LSH who publicly torpedoed other modders with this argument,
so I can't understand why this is now done by themselves! It's clearly a deliberate action.

However, for copyright reasons, it does NOT contain the patched SH3.exe required in order to operate. You must create this yourself.

This rule has been applied during all the past years.
Does this rule not or no longer apply for the LSH guys since Rowi is dead?

Hi Convoi_17 Re LSH 2020 IS A CRACK, IT'S GOT A PIRATE COPY OF SH3.EXE

I think your Mistaken LSH2020 asks you where your SH3 is installed so you have to have a legitimate SH3 Dvd or Download from steam.
The LSH2020 Super Mod does not have SH3 built in if LSH2020 violated copyright dont you think Onkel Neal and Moderators would have taken action if this was the case.
Screenie below of my install the SH3 folder is my fresh DVD install copied n pasted to the BLK40 folder then when i launch the LSH2020 it asks me where my SH3 exe is

I think he’s saying it’s included in the h.sie or Stiebler patches. For patching, you place your own copy of SH3.exe into the patch folder and patch yourself. This is after the initial installation, which asks where your game is installed. I’m not home where my desktop is to check the patch folders, but this could be what OP means - that a patched SH3.exe has been provided to the player already, which is problematic (vs the player using his own copy of SH3.exe).

Explain to me WHY I have a new SH3.exe in a folder where no SH3.exe was before.
Would you like to see the example files?

I support this claim of wrong doing. And I'm not am amateur to be fooled unless it is explained to me in detail.

Exactly. If when unpacking LSH, there’s an exe there already patched, big no-no. This needs to get fixed if true.

I will respect any Mod Team that plays by the rules and support them.
This issue needs to be resolved to my standards before I further support LSH.
I will NOT expose any code I can examine that proves to me LSH install modified files based on what I pointed it to.
Other then that? I say this is wrong!
