Is my JSGME working correctly

[RickR]

Sober, Yes it does! I will pull it down and give it a try. I just did the tutorial then happened to read your 'sticky' that I need to FIRST do to tutorial THEN load the mods...grrrrrr! Someday, I'll actually get to play the game.

So, now I'm researching exactly what to do if I use OHII. I remember reading there are some specific procedures to follow...

BTW I'm using lots of your mods. Thanks! - Rick

Yes, I got most of this done - meaning - patching the .exe. But, I'm hung up on one portion of it (Below). I havent started on the generic patcher but got 1.0.65.0 pulled down...of course that mean that I have to use TDW UI (which I don't know how to install yet)

"How to patch your sh5.exe for v0.0.4 (change default hydrophone volume):
NOTE: stock value (as seen in hex editor) is 6666663F (which is 0.9)
- make a backup of your sh5.exe file
- open the sh5.exe file with a hex editor
- go to address 0x346690 and change the 4 bytes to the volume level wanted (0.0 to 1.0 where 0.0 is no volume, 1.0 is max volume)
- save the file"

I don't understand what I am suppose to replace 6666663F with...is it
10 10 10 10 or 01 01 01 01 ???? It's been a long time since I worked with Hex but...I'm not sure what the heck goes in there. - Rick

Use the GenericPatcher app found at bottom of post #1 of my exe patches thread. It does all the work for you

Roger. Will do and thanks!...but I will not be satisfied until I know what goes in there. I'm worse than a damn cat! I pulled out the calculator and converted decimal to hex and vise versa but still doesn't line up. I will use the Patcher then have a look with hex editor. Thanks! Rick
PS. I use to know this stuff

Colors are RGBA values - DirectX style. Alpha, Blue, Green, Red where each one describes a byte value - thus giving 255 possible 'steps' for each component (RGB) or 255 * 255 * 255 = 16 million color combinations (with Alpha).

That makes sense now that you mention 'DirectX style' but I was talking about 'changing the default hydrophone volume' to loudest (1.0).

""How to patch your sh5.exe for v0.0.4 (change default hydrophone volume):

I'm not sure what I'm missing but cannot figure out how 66 66 66 3F is 0.9 so that I know what to put in there for max volume 1.0. It's not real important but driving me nuts!
