montego Posted June 13, 2000 Posted June 13, 2000 I have just uploaded a Dune 2000 CD crack that I got on the net... I have tested it, and I am running Dune 2000 V1.06, modified by Dune Edit '98 - Click the Dune 2000 icon, and viola! Play without the CD!I have not tested this in Multiplayer mode, since I don't really go to Alman at Westwood Online anymore...Enjoy...
Mahdi Posted June 13, 2000 Posted June 13, 2000 You don't have to play it online at ww. You can also play it over heat.net . I don't know how, but it is possible.
montego Posted June 13, 2000 Author Posted June 13, 2000 I would like to know the procedure for that. Anyone?
fremen59 Posted June 13, 2000 Posted June 13, 2000 i've never heard of heat.net, but i'll check it out.As for playing dune2k without the cd, that could turn into a serious copyright problem if people start making copies of the game and selling it off. It's easier to clone programs off the computer than if they were on the cd.
killarrodent Posted June 13, 2000 Posted June 13, 2000 nah man its really easy to clone copies of games from CD's as well as long as you have some decent imaging software its a breeze there are heaps of places like heat.net just go hunting for them.
killarrodent Posted June 13, 2000 Posted June 13, 2000 hey captain montego where did you download that crack what is the URL?
kunekune Posted June 14, 2000 Posted June 14, 2000 Yeah I'd like that URL 2.Also You can clone games easy.I have a program called norton virtual drive and it creates a file on your cpu.So just give them the game and that file and if they have norton virual drive aswell they can play it without the cd!
Gobalopper Posted June 14, 2000 Posted June 14, 2000 Not sure what it is but sometimes the board posts messages twice. Anyway, I removed the duplicate one.
montego Posted June 14, 2000 Author Posted June 14, 2000 I'm looking for the link now - I attached it to Gobalopper's email, so maybe he'll post it somewhere here...
montego Posted June 14, 2000 Author Posted June 14, 2000 The link is;http://www.megagames.com/cracks/gd.htmEnjoy!
montego Posted June 14, 2000 Author Posted June 14, 2000 They have cracks for tons of games. I just like the option of playing w/o the CD inserted...
kunekune Posted June 16, 2000 Posted June 16, 2000 I believe you that people can cheat now.THey can use the cd crack and d2k edit to cheat.
montego Posted June 16, 2000 Author Posted June 16, 2000 I beg to differ, Havoc - I use the CD crack so that I don't have to use my CD, thus not wearing it out any further. It also works WITH THE CD... So nyeah!Also, I do use Dune2kEdit, but you CANNOT LOG ONTO WW Online with a modified .DAT file that I know of, so double nyeah!My name on WW is Montego, but it's doubtful that you'd see me there very often - And if you actually care why, read the "Online Cheaters, or Mega-Strategists?" topic in this message base...
nemessith Posted June 17, 2000 Posted June 17, 2000 Yes. I've seen the topic. I think you're taking this too seriously. There's already lack of players on Dune2k, don't make it any worse:)...well it's your choice...but a.Cheaters are everywhere and they will be...until the Thought Control comes out. There're always these individuals who don't have what it takes to play fair. I've faced it in many games I've played on the net. But they're always a minority. Usually you can play fair games, with fair people. Not always, sometimes someone cheats, you just have to get over it.If it happens all the time I could understand you reasons. But I believe there are only that many cheaters and you can still play fair games...by time to time.Anyway, think over about this retirement.
kunekune Posted June 17, 2000 Posted June 17, 2000 I didn't mean to affend anyone! I tried it but with D2K edit you always get out of sync errors playing online so these cheaters would have to be some sort of experianced hackers.
montego Posted June 17, 2000 Author Posted June 17, 2000 I didn't take it personally, dude - Don't sweat it... :)
kunekune Posted June 17, 2000 Posted June 17, 2000 Oh yeah. You can log on to WWO with a modified *.dat file but you can't play a game.While talking to some people on WWO I found out that some people encounter cheaters quit often. From what I've heard the cheaters are using some sort of editor to hack their *.dat files without getting 'out of sync' errors.
nemessith Posted June 18, 2000 Posted June 18, 2000 What kind of pro hackers spent their time specially modifying their .dat file in order to be able to cheat in Dune2k at Westwood Online. Get a life, cheaters.
