This is just awesome and I cannot understand why Ubi not implemented this map in the game now that we have to be online to play. I really miss something like this, it would be so cool to see your activity history on map and also see other players/captains location and recent activity.

Is no way to "suck" this data from g2w.ubi.com and make it available in the game?!

@TDW: Very interesting and promising thread.

Until now I directly injected Hex Code into sh3.exe and some .act files in order to do some realism changes and additions. See this thread for details:

I still stick on direct HexCode Injection because I am not very familiar to DLL based code injection.

My question to you is: Does DLL code injection also work for .act files, which are loaded into different memory locations every time a game is started because of address space layout randomization (ASLR) in newer 64 Bit systems?

By the way: In SH3, DLL code injection seems to be very easy, just place your .act file into the sh3 install directory and it will be loaded automatically by sh3.exe when it starts, regardless of it's name.

Thanks very much and good luck!

Could this be done to earlier Silent Hunter games as well? Or would it be possible to take features missing/taken out of SH5 that were in 3 & 4 and put them back in?

(New Ships?? Switch over from GR2 Files??)

I can make it work with any application. I have a version I made that allows one to inject DLLs into ANY process (plus it does a lot more than that

). So yes I can make it work for SH3/4

Anything is possible when you are able to inject DLLs into a running process. The DLL being injected defines what the new features are or removes some functionality or ??? Really you can do anything with it that you can code.

Sorry for this necro-quote/post but i was wondering ...

Thus all the .py files have to be compiled at game start and this takes time to do.
The Python language supports pre-compiled files but SH5 doesn't

I just saw an article about shedskin
This tool translate pure, but implicitly statically typed Python (2.4-2.6) programs into optimized C++ ( and dll if i'm correct )

Can we use this to improve the horrendous loading time and cpu usage of SHV ?
Is such a feat possible, if so where do I begin ?
