SH3WEATHER goes, SH3WRAPPER comes!
« on: 20200711, 12:45:25 »




All of my tools are FREE FOR EVERYONE and AVAILABLE WITHOUT ENFORCED REGISTRATION.
I am willing to help rather than only talk hot air or do some bloody "welcome, welcome, donate here please"-
doodle, but leave users out in the rain, if only they donate...

All I ask is to stop donating to those who delete my work and only seem to collect money for their new motor bike/ranch/mower.
Think about it! STOP DONATING TO SUCH SABOTEURS! Rather donate to those who actually DO the work to facilitate players.
Ask yourself: Who has really helped you FOR FREE? And? Why not spend that guy a pizza and a beer?!

Hey veterans! Do any of you remember "SH3WEATHER.exe"? Well it goes... and SH3WRAPPER comes!

What does this patch bring?
  • It deinstalls SH3 Weather. S3W has been found buggy, its author has gone AWOL and does not bother to answer his emails, plus the weather issue has been solved in much more sophisticated ways by H.Sie and Stiebler as explained by Stiebler in [HOWTO] Fix the "Always-Bad-Weather-Bug" in SH3.
  • It deletes these unused files
    • SH3_Weather_README.txt
    • SH3Weather.exe
    • SH3Weather.log
    • un_Setup_SH3Weather_1_5_22545.exe
    • un_Setup_SH3Weather_1_5_22545.txt
  • It patches S3C to no longer attempt to run "SH3WEATHER.exe" and use "SH3WRAPPER.exe" instead. Jaesen Scones big advertised in his thread he would help, but was no help at all, so I did it myself.

And what does "SH3WRAPPER.exe" do?
  • I designed this wrapper to be totally configurable, so that other modders can bring in their ideas on
  • what 3rd party tools to run
  • and in which order, all configured in a simple text file called "SH3WRAPPER.cfg"
  • By default it does a quick version-check on my server and then runs "VARIETY.exe".



Standalone Installer code is included in SH3UNi
S3F is going to let you tick the checkbox to run S3C with SHxVAR

lets you pick your installation of SH3
creates %installpath%\..\TOOLS\SHxVAR
writes SHxVAR.exe, SH3VAR.cfg

lets you pick your installation of S3C
moves doc files where they belong, to documentation
patches SH3Cmdr.exe like S3H, i.e creates a mod and activates it so "mod" is listed and all files are saved


ANYBODY INTERESTED IN THIS? COME TO TEAMSPEAK!
