Silent Hunter III
Hi
I know there is another closed thread for this game a few threads back... The only crack avaliable for the game is the one for v1.0 The cracker, a great person, fixed three files and the StarForce was cured. However, if you upgrade to v1.2 (I have Europe DVD Game), the StarForce protection spreads to more then those three file and well, weather you use the fixed v1.0 exes with v1.2 game, StarForce will be there. I also used Star**** and StarNightmare to permenently disable my CD Drives, (Infact my whole Seconary IDE) and removed all virtual drive softwares (Alcohol, DAEMON etc), but StarForce lives and hurts more than ever. I won't ask for a cracked file because there are going to be a lot of them, however, a MiniImage just m,ight work... (It worked with Panzers Phase ?)... |
It wasn't cracked correctly.
|
*sigh* :(
Are you sure about this? Oh well I'm sure some genius will be able to figure out which files were involved. Waiting with patience here :) |
CFG file
can someone give me a modified cfg file so i can purchase the meanest sub, with the best torpedoes in the game?
of you please send it to egertos********com, i wouldnt have enough words to thank you... THX! |
Silent Hunter III Modding
I don't know about subs but you must start a career and complete atleast one patrol!
Only then there will be a true Career.cfg file (not Career_0.cfg) in <type>\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\Doomer, where <type> is either game install folder on Win9x or "My Documents" on WinNT systems. Once you complete a patrol #1, come back to base and quit game properly. The file Career.cfg will be there. Scroll down or simply search "Renown" and modify the latest entry. There may be two or more... I tried the same for sub and there upgrades... nothing but blimps... Where is the best modd site for this game? And yeah, no fixx for v1.2 and no mini-image either... |

Yellow Modding!!

--> [Yellow.rar: DOWNLOAD] <-- Yellow!! Okay, so was finally able to modify this game!! Well, it won’t say completely though but lets say around 15%! Instruction <Install>\ is the games installation directory which is “C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\” by default. BACKUP your “<install>\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg” folder!!! I have v1.0 of the game http://www.fileforums.com/images/smilies/frown.gif so my files may “hurt” your v1.1 or v1.2! If such is the case, you’ll have to do something that may hurt… modify you own files accordingly by using my files as guide. Else, rename you “<install>\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg” folder to “Cfg OLD” and put my “Cfg” folder from the zip file to “<install>\SilentHunterIII\data\” Also, backup “<install>\SilentHunterIII\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat9d2\ NSS_Uboat9d2.cfg” & then, put my “NSS_Uboat9d2.cfg” to “<install>\SilentHunterIII\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat9d2\” folder. Read me Note that if you are in a career, this may not work… You’ll need to start a new career and select the default setting: “1939, 1st Float”!! Why 1939!? Because, you’ll have a smooth nice career from start as convoys would mostly be naked and even the deadliest warships would be fooled by simple sonar decoys. So not like 1943-44 where a simple fishing-boat will search you out and start pouring depth charges http://www.fileforums.com/images/smilies/mad.gif !! Okay, you’ll have an IX-D2 submarine. Now, why this one, you may ask? Well, I personally like it as it is the second biggest U2 (the first one being the mammoth XXI!!) You will have all upgrades unlocked and all torpedoes available including the deadly Type X and you’ll have 22000 of them to make sure you never run out of them throughout the career http://www.fileforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif ! You deck + AA gun(s) will have 99999 bullets of each type http://www.fileforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif ! I could have used the VII-C sub but I don’t like it but still it probably was the last “practical” sub. Also, the XXI (XIX actually) is the biggest… really biggest U2 boat ever! BUT, it has issues…
Also, I have another file called “NSS_Uboat9d2.cfg” that will increase the surfaced speed to a pleasant 30-40 Knots!! Plus, with modification to an engine installed on the sub, you’ll be tearing the oceans @ 60-70 Knots! I have not been able to increase the underwater speed though. Seems like, there are special rules to underwater conditions. There must be another file for that… I’ll keep looking. Don’t increase speed more than this!! Strange accidents will happen. I was surfing @ 157 Knots and all of sudden my sub started to sink! Seems like the subs rocking and swinging values are directly tied to speed and not the ocean waves… So my boat dipped too much from the front into the water and whammed into the ocean bed @ 130 knots http://www.fileforums.com/images/smilies/eek.gif ! My officer said: “Sir! We have a f*cking cool swimming pool in the bow quarters! Oh wait, that’s bad right!? Akhtoom!!” Lastly, the crews have been modified on global bases… no matter which career you start, the default crew will be a collection of elite’ men and (no women http://www.fileforums.com/images/smilies/confused.gif )!! |
Your download does not work.. It redirects to some CJB site.

StarForce Protection
Quote:
If you can, try this thread and tell the story to us... |
I would love to help people out with getting this thing to run from mini image if at all possible, but 1. i dont know how to create a working mini image, 2. starforce would simply look straight through it, 3. i would rather not create a full image just to bypass sf as i would not be able to distribute it to you guys.
|
hey MouseNo4 check your PMs
mini-images of StarForce haven't worked for some time. they added a content check to the protection to make sure all the data is there (same reason Securom MI's don't work), and it has been protected from full images for quite some time also by checking to see if the data is read from the hard drive at the same time while checking the cd/dvd. they also have a StarForce activation key required to even start the game. |
Yellow Modding!!
Hey!
I needed to share a few things with anyone who used my Yellow Mod and is interested in editing... Torpedoes: Speed + Range values Can’t find .cfg File! Possible file(s) : <install>\data\Library\Torpedo* Weather: Weather change algorithms Want smooth calm weather all times Kill the damn fog Possible file(s) : <install>\data\Env\*.* Deck Gun: Ability to fire even in a tsunami!! Possible file(s) : <install>\data\cfg\Basic.cfg Crew: Too Lazy! Always getting tired no matter what I do!! Remove the cursed fatigue factor completely! Possible file(s) : <install>\data\cfg\Basic.cfg Note: While in a patrol, save your game if your crew is about to commit suicide. Go to you save folder (In XP/NT: My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\<Your Profile>\). Go to your patrol # (- 1) folder (Say you doing patrol #9 so the folder will be 8). Here you’ll see that with each save, you actually create 10 files! One of then would be “crew_config_<!>.cfg”, where <!> is your save name. Open this file in any text editor and change the Fatigue=?? To Fatigue=0 (where a "??" is you current Fatigue value) for every damn human here!! It would be easy if you use a nice text editor like TextPad or something that would allow you to do a full replace. In the “Find What:” box, type “Fatigue=” (without quotes) and in the “Replace With:” box, type “Fatigue=0 ;” (without quotes). Note a “;” means a comment and game won’t read this value. So after doing such a replace, your fatigue for any person would change from “Fatigue=??” To “Fatigue=0; ??”! So the old value would be commented. Now load this file from the “Saved Careers” screen. Be careful that you select the proper saved file! Note that the statistics would be wrong (if you are on v1.0)! If you kill ships before saving, the stats would say you sunk 0 ships but once the game is loaded, everything would be fine and the crew would screw… errr… feel fresh again!! |
StarForced Windows!!?

doesnt work here.

Does not work. :mad:
1. I reinstalled the game. 2. Patched to 1.2 (strange, the USA 1.2 patch give an error on a german .txt file, so I installed European DVD patch, and worked. I thought that I had the USA version..). 3. I Did exactly what reads on the .txt file. 4. Nothing. Tried everything. This "backdoor" does not open. Any idea? :( |
not working !
:( :(
did exactly as instcucted . not working . |

I am very grateful for your effords, svdkloes.
Please, keep trying to make it work. :) How do you tested this method? Did you used 1.1 and 1.2? What is your version of the game? EU or USA? Did you installed the game from scratch or you already had activated one time the game? More info please. :) |

Ahhhh... some progress...
Okay! Alright!!
Now there is some progress right there!! The way your post reflects itself, svdkloes, seems that this backdoor actually works for you!! However, as it has been tested by almost everyone here, you are the only lucky person! You call it "A Backdoor to StarForce". I may call it a glitch that you've exploited! Because if it's a backdoor then I am recommending your name for the next Nobel Prize... The registry file creates a lot of “HardwareProfile” entries. I am trying to go through them but that may take a lot of time. Seems like you are the only one with the upper edge here. Also, its only "HKEY_CURRENT_". Is there other trees like "HKEY_LOCAL_" ? Are you using Daemon or Alcohol? Their version #? Do you have a writer(s)? How many physical CD/DVD drives? Did you used SFNightmare and/or StarFu*ked? Did you disable your Drives? I followed the instructions carefully and I’ve noticed something. Firstly, no matter I hold Ctrl or not, if there is no MiniImage (Your MiniImage) mounted; there won't be an "Enter new CDKey" dialog. It will always show an "Error, Retry" dialog. I must mount your image and then and only then, holding Ctrl does its trick! Secondly, I hade tried this on EUR v1.0 (No mod of any sort) I have the patch file ready at hand but I won't apply to save myself from a re-install Thanks a lot for your effort and you just might do this thing... Okay, so you just might not but I am still recommending you for that Nobel Prize! Zillion & BITEME, the last Silent Hunter III thread was closed because people started to talk off-topic. I don't want that to happen again so please no more saying Thanks or complaining about wasting time. Zillion, no offense but there was an attitude error in you recent post(s). Star Force is giving people nightmares and if someone thinks he/she is close to something... well it’s a hell-lot better then no news at all. None of us can decide weather something is BS or not. We are all sick and tired of installing and re-installing the game over and over without luck. Someone cracked v1.0 did he/she not? The image was a small ~50KB dl and mounting it takes 2 seconds + 10 seconds for reading the read-me file and that’s it! How much time could it have wasted? Now, you must have had patched the game first didn’t you? Bad mistake... |
From what I know StarForce was updated by patch 1.2. After that it not only checks the presence of the disc but also the file structure of the disc, meaning a mini image with nothing in it is not going to fool it.
And for those that want to start some personal name calling with me, use the messaging system. I'm not going to waste everyone's time reading some crap. :cool: |
Mini Me!!

Would that fool? |

Listen up until you can make your own, shut your face. We dont need smart arses who think they know the **** when they dont and they only talk **** and not The ****. At least the guy tried, which you havent done so far only complain about him. So thank you for wasting my time for reading your senseless posts. |
@Zillion: You got a 3-week-ban because of board rule #7 !!!
(Next time turn on your brain -if you have one-) |
Jeeeezzzz!!!!

But weather you like it or not, in the end it will be either all DLLs + EXEs cured from SForce or a MiniImage that will fool!! |
Quote:
And they have had these images for quite a while. Before you call someone retarted, perhaps you should find out more about the subject at hand first. |
Hi everyone, I've been fiddling around with the archive found on GameCopyWorld but I cant get it to work, anyone else had any luck? I dont really understand how the mini image works, I cant get it to work :mad:
|
Is the "Silent Hunter 3 [ALL] No-DVD/Fixed Image" work?
http://m0003.gamecopyworld.com/games...hunter_3.shtml |
i think no
its just like the mini image of SCCT key removed what for? that key belongs to starforce, not to the game itself, its the same on all Copys ;) :rolleyes: |
yep, that`s right! the mini-image doesn't work...and also this stupid registry "backdoor"...nothing works! stupid starforce!
|
:(
not working !! |
Yeah... I know... it's sad too.
I check every day hoping someone will resolve this so I can get on with my multiplayer through hamachi. Keep trying guys |
perhaps the new(Comming :rolleyes: ) release of deamon tools can mount those images
|
So for now, if I want to play without the DVD in my drive, I have to stick to the buggy 1.0 version of the game?
Goddamn StarForce! Why aren't more games using it though? |
