I'm hoping I can figure out why I can't open one of them when I close it and can't close one on them when I want. Trying to figure out what all these pointers are is very challenging

I noticed that the symbol for battlestations using the F7 key is diffrent than if i go to the Officers and Orders Bar and click on battlestations .

Some of this redundancy being removed would be most appreciated.

TDW,

Every time I try to use the new Generic File Patcher, v1.0.390, I get an error message which says;

EXE version error

File is different version
than expected

I'm sure that I've made some new and exciting blunder but I'm not sure what it might be as I've been using the patcher for quite awhile now through several different versions with no problem. This occured while changing from the prior version.

Your help would be most appreciated......Thanks

That means you left some patches enabled with the old patcher. If you still have the patcher version that patched your files use it to ensure all patches are removed. If not you'll need to replace the files you want to patch with unmodified backups.

The CO2 stays at zero % while submerged . I can stay under indefinately . Using the latest patch . I am not sure what patch this changed as i havnt checked it for a while .

I believe you are seeing the stock game bug of when you start the game submerged you will never increase CO2. If you surface and then submerge you'll see the CO2 increase. I'm still trying to track this stock bug down

Are you sure you have all the patches enabled for the CO2 bug? There are patches for it in SH5 and SHSim.

I made the patch for this default to no CO2 increase just in case the user doesn't install all the patches or somehow installs the patch incorrectly

Just some FYI

I dont know what happend , when i went to open the patches it came up with an error . I reverted to the backups and patched again . I will try the CO2 again ingame . CO2 still doesnt increase , all are True in the patches . I have never had the CO2 bug . I disabled the CO2 patch and will try again . I disabled the CO2 fix and the CO2 works . I have had the game for over 2 years and the CO2 has never kept rising when surfacing , but i bought the game so i dont expect it to .

another reson for injecting code, instead od physically modifying the exe.
My two cents opinion, indeed

Code injection is great for testing purposes. For long term changes I prefer physically modifying the file(s)

Why?
Don't take is as a rhetorical or polemical question. I am just curious

When you use code injection you cannot specify where the memory created will be placed. This makes it very hard to put commonly used functions in one place and call them from another place. With code injection you have code duplication because all the support functions needed for that chunk of code has to be included in that chunk of code.

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)
