1 key max time compression?

kdv · 01-26-09, 10:36 AM

I really hate to post to ask this, but I cannot find the information to do the 1 key maximum time compression anywhere.

After re-installing SH3, everything has to be done from scratch again. That might teach me to back files up first

Set max TC with one single hit?

Goto (C:\programs)\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg\Com mands_en.cfg and open with Notepad/Editor.

Scroll to [Cmd5] and add

Key1=0x6A,R,"Npad *"

It shall look like this:

[Cmd5]
Name=Time_compr_increase
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
MnID=0x3F010001
Key0=0x6B,,"Npad +"
Key1=0x6A,R,"Npad *"

Save your changes!

This enables Npad * key to max TC with a single hit!
Nice to race the Kiel Channel.

Many thanks to you sir!

I loath having to hit the "+" key constantly to get the TC back up.

Weiss Pinguin · 01-26-09, 12:59 PM

Is there any way to bind it to a certain TC (x256, say), Or is it only min/max TC? :hmm:

That sir I do not know.

I have + key for single TC increase
........ * key for TC x16
........ / key for TC max

[Cmd5]
Name=Time_compr_increase
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
MnID=0x3F010001
Key0=0x6B,,"Npad +"
Key1=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key2=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key3=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key4=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key5=0x6F,R,"NumPad /"

Very handy x16 when your hunting and you want to speed things up, I only run at TC x256 max anyway to get maximum airstrikes.

Weiss Pinguin · 01-26-09, 02:12 PM

Hmm... You'll have to explain that code to me. If I wanted the * key to set TC to, say, 128x, what would the code for that look like?

badwolf · 01-26-09, 05:54 PM

THIS IS A DEMO NOT A SUGGESTED SETUP

Key1=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key2=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key3=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key4=0x6A,,"NumPad *"

At TC x1 if you press the + key 4 times you would increase to TC x16.
The * key does the same as the + key, but because its repeated 4x (diagram above), one press and each command doubles the TC and so gives you X16 with a single key stroke. The readme says that he has only gone up to six keys - Key0 to Key5 - I haven't tried if more work either. It was a long time ago that I experimented and found this solution.
If you had the following:-

[Cmd5]
Name=Time_compr_increase
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
MnID=0x3F010001
Key0=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key1=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key2=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key3=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key4=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key5=0x6A,,"NumPad *"

One press of * key would increase to TC x64

I think there may be a way to get any TC at one press, but it is a bit more involved.

Hope this explains it for you.

Weiss Pinguin · 01-26-09, 06:06 PM

Ah, I see. The more repeats, the higher the TC goes per keystroke.

badwolf · 01-26-09, 06:31 PM

IIRC what I did ages ago was the following:-

This is the setup after installing SH3.

[Cmd4]
Name=Time_compr_reduce
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
MnID=0x3F010004
Key0=0x6D,,"Npad -"

[Cmd5]
Name=Time_compr_increase
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
MnID=0x3F010001
Key0=0x6B,,"Npad +"

Now I believe that when a command is sent it looks at the 1st,2nd,3rd....Cmd.
Now we want it to see the Cmd 5 then 4 for it to work properly, So we swap them over to this.

[Cmd4]
Name=Time_compr_increase
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
MnID=0x3F010001
Key0=0x6B,,"Npad +"

[Cmd5]
Name=Time_compr_reduce
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
MnID=0x3F010004
Key0=0x6D,,"Npad -"

Then we add our commands. Lets say we have full TC is x2048

[Cmd4]
Name=Time_compr_increase
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
MnID=0x3F010001
Key0=0x6B,,"Npad +"
Key1=0x6F,R,"NumPad *"

[Cmd5]
Name=Time_compr_reduce
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
MnID=0x3F010004
Key0=0x6D,,"Npad -"
Key1=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key2=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key3=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key4=0x6A,,"NumPad *"

When you press * key once.
[Cmd4]
Key1=0x6F,R,"NumPad *" increases to TC x2048
[Cmd5]
Key1=0x6A,,"NumPad *" decreases to TC x1024
Key2=0x6A,,"NumPad *" decreases to TC x512
Key3=0x6A,,"NumPad *" decreases to TC x256
Key4=0x6A,,"NumPad *" decreases to TC x128

This happens very fast so you only see it jump from TC x1 to TC x128.

NOTE: It was ages ago when I did this so can't say how it performed, but just experiment.

badwolf · 01-26-09, 06:34 PM

You've got it, Weiß Pinguin

Weiss Pinguin · 01-26-09, 06:54 PM

Cool, I'll have to try this out next time I'm in port.

gordonmull · 01-26-09, 07:03 PM

Sweet!

I had no idea this was possible.

badwolf · 01-26-09, 07:22 PM

Also if you have my first setup the one I use.

I have + key for single TC increase
........ * key for TC x16 if you hit this key twice you get TC x256
........ / key for TC max

[Cmd5]
Name=Time_compr_increase
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
MnID=0x3F010001
Key0=0x6B,,"Npad +"
Key1=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key2=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key3=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key4=0x6A,,"NumPad *"
Key5=0x6F,R,"NumPad /"

What a can of worms the newbie opened up eh?

Using Sub Commander I've pre-set my maximum 'comfortable' time compression limits to each possible situation. Adjusted now and then to accomodate for some nasty surprises.
