Realism- and gameplay-related hardcode fixes for SH3.EXE - Page 232

Quote:

@Stoli: Although I don't know sh4.exe, it's surely possible - provided that you find someone who knows assembler and is willing to spend more than 18 months, 4 hours a day for programming.

And provided also that you can find someone who uses SH4/U-boats a lot, or is willing to spend 3-6 months learning how to play SH4.
How can modders fix bugs/omissions in SH4 until they are familiar with the problems? H.sie has not played SH4. (Neither have I.)

well is it something i have to do manually or do i have to line them up diffrently in my "activated mod" list? what does it mean when that happens, what are they supposed to be saying ?

Lance71 · 06-13-12, 08:40 AM

Hello, gentlemen!

@H.see
Sir, could you add the automatic shutdown of the gramophone in a stormy sea to your wonderful mod, please?
If it is not difficult for you.
I think you can use a scheme similar to the torpedo loading scheme (wind over 8 m / s or less than 16 m depth).

Thank you very much!

Best regards, Lance71

@drakkhen20
You have not enabled the folder Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME) as a single mod.
This folder contains the texts of officers and more ...
Detailed installation instructions, see the file Readme_V16B1.pdf

Best regards, Lance71

drakkhen20 · 06-13-12, 11:17 AM

Well its enabled in the mod enabler or do I have to do that manually? Ill take another look at the readme too. Sometimes it can get confusing.

drakkhen20 · 06-13-12, 02:25 PM

ok from reading,lol. it says to "append" some coding into the english menu file. so does this mean copy and paste ?

Lance71 · 06-13-12, 02:43 PM

@drakkhen20

Yes. Select text from "_Append_to_en_menu.txt", and paste it at the end of "en_menu.txt" in folder "Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)\Data\Menu".
After that enable "Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)" as another mod.

Best regards, Lance71

drakkhen20 · 06-13-12, 02:47 PM

ok ill try that later. gotta go to work. give feedback later. thanks

drakkhen20 · 06-20-12, 10:59 AM

ok i was playing the Wolfpack in single missions to test it out. now i got the messages to hold and all that. so how long does it take for the ai uboats to get there and how will i know when they are on location? i didnt finish the mission because the escort finally spotted me. so what am i looking for in future reference? thanks

drakkhen20 · 06-20-12, 01:36 PM

lol, nevermind guys. i got figured it out. its called read the manual.

VONHARRIS · 06-21-12, 10:12 AM

May be not the correct thread but I will ask

I have already patched my game with h.sie V16B1 patch and it works fine.

I am trying to use the Stiebler3_Addon_for_V16B1 and I get this message:

Despite the "Stiebler Patch completed" message I don't have the new SH3.exe file at all. I only have the Sh3.old file.

Any help is more than welcome
Thank you in advance.

drakkhen20 · 06-21-12, 11:14 AM

yes that happened to me also. start with a fresh untouched sh3.exe file and patch as you did and then run that patch. but follow the readme file word for word and do exactly what it tells you and youll be fine.

Thanks for the tip.
It worked but now the game crashed.
I will look into it.
At least , I have a starting point now.

goobledeygook · 06-28-12, 01:45 AM

Just found about this mod and installed it. Got it running and
seems to be working as it should. Thanks a lot. Enjoy the
fact you can pick and choose which fixes to enable and
which to leave out. Very happy I no longer have to drag
that Watch officer to his station

. That fix alone will
eventually save people an aggregate of millions of mouse clicks.
