Stiebler3A_Addon_for_V16B1 (Released)

[erikdell]

Stiebler, i disabled all the mods and then enable only hsie's and your addon but the game still crashes. I can make the install process of hsie's and your addon again with all the others mods disabled and see if the previous modifications of the others mods on the menu, command, menu1024 are the ones which generates the problem when i install the suplement and the addon. I'm telling this cause i take the menu, commands and menu1024x768 from the sh3 directory once i have all the other mods enabled. I don't modify sh3's files directly, the same for the suplement mod.

Sorry if i don't make myself clear my english is quite limited! hehe

edit: to clarify about the 1944 date. when i start a career on 1939 i have no problems and it works perfectly. The problem appears when i want to start a career on 1944.

erikdell, do you mean that you think the menu_1024_768.ini is the cause of the problem? I use MaGui as well and I am also running into CTDs with a similar combination of mods.

edit
crap, didn't think I would make the thread roll over to the next page. Guess I'll have to add something more positive to kick off the new page, won't I?
Great job on the mods stiebler. Sure my own issues will resolve themselves eventually, I look forward to being able to fully enjoy the mod in the near future. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is grateful for all the hard work you and H.Sie have put into this game. How's it go anyway, you do it all in hex or similar, right? And I thought hex-editing myself infinite health in cave story was hard...

@Jinmei:

This error message appears at me: xd3 Invalid Input.

I have never seen this error message before. However, it must be connected to the xdelta3.exe file (in folder 'tools'), which patches sh3.exe.
It seems that you have placed some of your files in the wrong folders.
Try again.

@Erikdell, Tanedin:
It seems that your difficulties are caused by the menu_1024_768.ini file.

The installation of the extra entries to this file, required for the grid-change mod, are complicated. You must insert the extra lines (stated in the documentation) and then *renumber* that part of the file which is affected. You can do this manually, or use H.sie's special renumbering tool for menu_1024_768.ini.

If the problem persists, use your preferred menu_1024_768.ini file (which is Makman's), and toggle OFF the grid-change option in the Options Selector. (Remember, you must alter the *last* occurrence of menu_1024_768.ini that is installed in your mod sequence with JSGME.)

@Rik007:
Aircraft can spot your U-boat at TC >256. I have seen it at TC=2048. However, for technical reasons, you will be seen less often by aircraft at TC 2048 than at TC 256. (In theory, about ( (2048/256)^2 ) * (aircraft-distance-per-second/ visibility-range) = <64 x less often.)

@Leitender: (Answer to question in another thread)

My boat stood in a perpendicular course to a destroyer (can´t remember distance) and although i showed my broadside, ASDIC didn´t recognize me at a MS=100², which in result meant a total dysfunction, at least in this trial. I then reduced MS to 75 and at last to 50m² and the result was i was recognized when in perpendicular position, but when i showed the DD my narrow side (bearing +-30deg) ASDIC lost contact. Confident about this result, I used from then on MS=50m².

Now i like to use your addon. But since you wrote about a "unique" value for MS which you have used to identify whether this MS-parameter works or not, i wonder if your mod is linked to this explicite value or if it also works e.g. with my favourite 50m². In general this mod is a great idea an i would really miss it within my game if it wasn´t usable with my settings.

Unfortunately, the value of 100m2 is hard-coded as the only available indication that the code is looking at an asdic sensor and not at some other sensor.
Therefore I regret that I cannot change this value for one individual - it would probably upset everyone else!

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
Stiebler.

Thank you very much for your reply, Stiebler. That´s what i feared. Did you made similar experiences with that 100m² aspect, or did i gain a discrete result, not adaptive in general? Since this 100m² are standard for NYGM for years, maybe some players did their own observations and may report? I would be glad if the aspect-dependant detection worked as intended.

This accurate error message: xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT

I cannot realise it that what's the problem,the V16B1 turned out easily...

The problem, only so much were resolved was how the trouble was not the V16B1 sh3.exe assigned the Realistic Repairs Option!!!!

@Jinmei

Try this:
After patching SH3 exe with V16B1 don't tick/untick nothing in the option selector.Make changes only after applying stiebler's addon.
It worked for me.

That's the right way....

Alright, tried it without the 1024x768 file and was still having trouble. I decided to try a clean install, completely removed SH3 and mods and reinstalled everything, still running into trouble. Seems that after using the patch kit, I can run the game once without any problems. In order to launch the game again however, I need to delete sh3.exe and repatch from a fresh copy of V16b1. Not sure why that would happen though.

Actually I have had that same problem. I ended up doing the first patch ( hsie ). I didn't make any selections before doing the second patch ( Stieblers ). Everything worked okay. Wait to tick off your selections until after you have installed both patches.

I do have a major problem though. Now, when I tried to load a game after I have sank a ship or had a crewman killed the game crashes. But when I go back and load the saved game just before the one where I sank the ship or had the crewman killed it loads just fine. I wonder what heck is going on with that? Has anyone had this problem before?

I actually thought of that this morning coming into work. I'm going to give it a try tonight.

I have been using a copied .exe of the first patch with a couple of items ticked off using the selector utility because I was doing some testing before I decided to try some of Stiebler's patches.

I'll bet money that is the problem.
