[REL] [REL]Tycho Sh3 Patch

[Tricky]

Anyone have the before/after pictures from the OP? I'd love to be able to see those instead of patching my EXE and loading game 100 times.

ANY IDEAS TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE TO GET 1080p MAPS?

sh3_g.exe is your true sh3.exe file. Archive uplay small loader sh3.exe. Next rename your file to sh3.exe and repeat execute patch. Then if your game not launch try reverse rename sh3.exe to sh3_g.exe and restore uplay small loader sh3.exe.

would it be possible to enable render accurate shoreline as you could do in mission editor?

[Olamagato]

I think that would not even be advisable. What would be the difficulty of navigating by GPS in a game reflecting the years 1939-1945? This is why the map is not so accurate that sometimes you have to pick up the periscope and sometimes get into a sandbar and combine how to get out of it. And when you turn on the external view, you have coastal navigation.

Is describe a patch to enable a fix for real navigation or even fur just non contract in map for hydro contacts in the attack map even with no contract switch on.

Hydro operator is a but crappy in sh3, you don't know how many contractors reads, taking ships in a convoy should be manual and take 4 bearing meeting could take so long to do manual, also taking in the chance of course is a pain.

At first I suppose thats not possible but I world like a qualified answer, another problem in game is that radar warning show up with direction when they should not, and that make in the same way hydro contract does, so just replace all the siluettes of ships is no right solution..

There's any chance? mybe just by alpha layer getting 00 instead of FF, idont know the code but thats a posible way if they exist in hexa.

Hi all,

When trying to install this patch, the binpatch.exe will not start, giving the error: "the application was unable to start correctly 0xc00007b", which seems to me a vague Windows compatibility error.
I have the msvcp100 and msvcr100 .dll files in both my sys32 as my SH3 install folder if that matters.
I am running Windows 10 and if anyone has any ideas or has encountered this issue (or has a way for me to patch the few bits for the nav/attack map scale manually) I would love to hear it.

Thanks in advance,
Nicolai

I'm having the same error which is frustrating. The game still runs but you get the navigation double map. Please help would love to play this amazing game.

EDIT: I fixed this by installing every visual c++ package i could find 2005-2015. Not sure which one did the trick but it worked...

Hi!

Thank you for this amazing tool.
I get this error message when trying to run TychoSh3Patch.bat:

"'binpatch' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Fail."

I'm on windows 10.

Fix:
Copied the folder "TychoSh3Patch_v3" to "C:"
then edited "TychoSh3Patch.bat" file to look like this:

@echo off

cd C:\TychoSh3Patch_v3\WorkFolder
binpatch apply sh3.exe TychoSh3Patch.map

echo.
if errorlevel 1 goto ERROR

echo Success.
goto END
:ERROR
echo Fail.
:END

echo.
pause

Tycho SH3- and Chrono-Patches use "binpatch.exe".
It requires special Visual C++ Redistributable Package installed.

This file is not necessarily needed or can be replaced by another "binpatch.exe".

The already h.sie/stiebler patched sh3.exe can be patched direct with a HEX-Editor by hand.
All what is needed is in the *.map-file. Its easy to read.



Another way is replacing binpatch.exe.
There are lots of Sources around the web. The simplest may be this:
https://ftp.nice.ch/pub/next/unix/ha...inpatch.c.html

This can be easily compiled for example with MS "Visual C++ Toolkit 2003".
As this source is very easy, and not direct compatible with "Tycho's"-binpatch.exe, some changes has to be made:

( the original line is commented out by // )

//if ((input_file = fopen(input_file_name, "r+")) == NULL) {
if ((input_file = fopen(input_file_name, "r+b")) == NULL) {

//count = fscanf(diff_file, "%lu %o %o", &offset, &c1, &c2);
count = fscanf(diff_file, "%lx %x %x", &offset, &c1, &c2);

//offset--;


The *.map-file must be changed to contain only the
Address NumberOriginal NumberPatch
without any Comments. Like this: "TychoSh3Patch_new.map"

000A5DC6 f0 ff
000A5DC7 22 11
000A5DC8 22 11
000A5DC9 22 11

The binpatch-command itself must also be changed into:
binpatch -f TychoSh3Patch_new.map sh3.exe


Please note: due to its simpleness-behavior the sh3.exe is overwritten. A Copy has to be keep safe.


Greetings.

Hello, people!
How are you after this unusual year?
I, don't stop working, only 5 days vacation for the whole year. And, started to gather some home alcoholic habits...

I think, it is time for me to come back to SH3.
Well, it will be a slow process, I will slowly gather interest over some months, at now I even don't have SH3 on my new computer.

For beginning let's start with new patcher for my sh3.exe patches. This one don't want to work on my new computer with Win10. Like Hebe Vollmaus say, it need some ****. I already found and will make a new one, more easier and user friendly. Give me a week.

Also I want to apologize to everyone who has written to me a PM in the last two years and I don't answered. I was not here, will read these the next days. There is no point to answering now, probably the meaning has expired.

Happy New Year to you all!

Welcome back.

Good hunting,
