[TEC] SH5.exe patches to fix bugs and add functionality

When I go to download from

http://www.mediafire.com/download/72..._1_0_164_0.zip

chrome gives me a message that the file 'is malicious, and Chrome has blocked it.'

Anyone else run into this problem? I presume this is safe to download but wanted to check in first.

Google is always right!

P.S. Of course it's safe...

This sounds a bit strange. I'm running Chrome and I don't get any 'warnings' when I download that mod...

I'm confident VDR knows what he's talking about when he says it's safe to download.

Can anyone help me to understand this?

BTW - a warm welcome Bobjam

Could be a false positive depending on the virus engine. I do not use Chrome personally. I know Chrome is Google's brower right? Does it have an antivirus engine built into it?

I have had downloads off by one kilobyte and a virus antiscan reads them wrong.

I'm confident you're right here.

Yes, Chrome has some 'security' settings e.g. something they call 'protection agains malicious software'.

I'm positive that's the answer to why Chrome recognizes some software as malicious.

If you've got an anti -virus program running it should be reasonable to just un-tick that setting in the Chrome settings and the issue is gone.

Or, TDW's trying to infect our computers...

P.S.
I've never trusted those paranoid programs, the best antivirus is your self. There is no anti virus/spyware which will help you if you don't know what are you doing...

I never thought of that.

Hiya's,

Two weird problems i can't figure out, one is somewhat to do with the patcher (or more like me fubaring it)

Other might be .............

The AI repair patch i enable in patcher (where the ai tries to repair etc via the repair or flood icon)

The flood one works fine eg : i need help as i flood, i click guy (forget name lol) and select the line to start speeding up flood repair, all's well the icon pops up and slowly starts ticking down (clockwise as usual)

Now when i get damaged, i go through the same process and the repair icon pops up, but it stays the same, it doesn't tick down

Any ideas on this repair fubar ?

Best add when i redo game etc, i save vanilla gps, then restore my snapshot, is this a problem ? i mean should i just alter the vanilla gps to my liking ?

Two, for some reason when i check for non warships by pinging i get 2 responses, like, xxx 10k 320deg long range xxx 10k 320deg long range, but when i ping for warships i get just a lone return eg xxx 10k 320deg long range, any ideas on that ? (this i can live with as it doesn't seem to mess the game up)

I did read about redoing the saved stock files that patcher alters, just tried it, started from bunker save, damaged boat after hitting a ship to get damaged icon for repair still not ticking down

It's gotta be something simple i'm messing up i know

Any Input much appreciated

The Chief ability "2. Increase Repair Rate" is a toggle ability:
Talk to the Chief to start it (icon appears and morale is used up over the time it is active)
Talk to the Chief and select the same line to stop the activity. The icon should disappear.

His response is the same in both instances but I think that's because it couldn't be customized for a 'toggle' ability.

I believe the dialog was actually was introduced with "Athlonic's MCCD "More Crew Commands by Dialog" MOD"; at least it wasn't introduced with the SH5.exe Patcher.

The "AI repairs" refer to damaged NPC ships ( from the patch notes ):
"Starting with v1.0.81.0 revised the SHCollisions AI Crew Damage Control patch. The patch now takes crew veterancy level, unit's HPs ratio, and unit's type into consideration. Most effects will stop when crew fixes damage to the zone (box) . I'm still looking for a few controllers so that I can stop them all."
