Ya man, ok its a good news to work on the new crack,
good luck and plz inform us when u finsih ,
btw, cant you give us a specific date for the crack release !! :rolleyes:
DarkLeftos
21-04-2005, 05:34
Specific date? Are you kidding? Have you ever tried developing anything?
A specific release date can only be given if the job is already done. He said he is working on it, how will he be able to give you a specific date, if he hasn't finished his work yet? I mean (and not want to put bad luck to this) things could arise, problems, anything while developing.
BTW a bit OT but thats a good motherboard that A7N8X-X :) shame it doesnt have SATA onboard :\

Thanks... Thing is, it's good value (one of the cheapest around) and does its job. Thing that disappointed me was the lack of Dual Channel support.
However, anyway, after a nice power failure that burnt both MB and CPU, I'm now with a Gigabyte GA-8KNXP and an Intel Celeron D 2.8 GHz. How nice... Fortunately, no harm to the 6800.
Sorry for the OT.

Well DarkLeftos i am not talking to you and i said it in a joky way , and i was just somehow encouraging him........its non of your business !!!!
Be more polite in your posts !!
DarkLeftos
22-04-2005, 05:39
I am as polite as I can be, I may be a little weird, but I'm polite.
It's a well known phrase that says "Want something good done? Do it yourself." Since you can't do it yourself, please respect that a person is at least trying, and get off his neck.
From experience, being constantly asked for a release date does NOT help at all.
If it was in a joky way, it was in some "joky" way I didn't understand.
But I'm not here to start a war, I became a member to help. So calm down, and be patient.
Peace.

Has anyone made an alcohol 120% image of ActOfWar DVD?
An image that is around 5.17 GB in size?
If so, then can someone give me the respective ".MDS" file for this image? Its somewhere between 5 to 9 KB in size...
I just realized that those small ".MDS" files created along with the actuall images (".MDF") are actually important and sould not be deleted...http://www.fileforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif
Hey Maverick ... i can remember how you earlier mentioned that you´r workin´ on a crack for the new AoW version...
Was it too hard for you, or why didn´t you finish?
Hope to get some answer! :eek:

You guys that push hard CRACK me up, pop your disk in and STFU. Or uninstall and go back to the original crack you are using off your downloaded pirate copy.
You trolls are as bad as people who use a remote control for their car sterio while sitting in the driver seat.

Shut up nigger.
Shut up nigger.
Although that guy said a stupid thing before, your "nigger" answer is an even bigger piece of ****. Stop that racist trash, u stupid thing!
Ok people be nice to each other.
Don't call each other stupid things, don't blame others for using any pirated software when all you can do is assume that they have any.
Do NOT flame this thread with such useless posts, don't go OT!!!
:mad:
So please, any mod please remove the last 4 posts (including mine that is) and warn that one saying that racist word...
(sorry for 'trying' to be moderating a little here, but I can't stand them... sorry mods/admins you are the best!!! :D )
@federico: You got a 6 month ban !!!

As I've seen other threads getting closed because of the stupid behavior of people not caring about the content of the thread, I'm kindly requesting that the mods do not close this thread because of the above posts, as SirMaverick is actually a person putting some effort into cracking this game, and is nice enough to let us know of his progress.

Err make another image?
Actually, this was the last Image I could get out of my DVDROM beforeit died...
BUT, I gave it one hell of a smacking and it barely created a correct image this time...
Now that image works correctly...
Sadly, the DVD ROM won't work at all...
SirMaverick
07-05-2005, 13:56
I'm wondering if we're going through all this just to find a new patch a few days after the crack is released¿¿¿ :confused:
Has anyone tried making a mini-image just for giggles?
SirMaverick

Has anyone tried making a mini-image just for giggles?
I haven't myself, maybe that would be better at least for now. One question for all of you, what virtual image software do you use? I use daemon tools.
Thanks
Daemon tools seems the most reliable for using mini-images (when combined with Starforce nightmare). Alcohol seems easiest to make them with (its surprisingly simple). If anyone has a clone or the actual DVD and would care to make one and post it for testing it would be highly appreciated.

I'll do it now

Does anyone have any tutorials or tips when it comes to making mini-images with alcohol?
And another thing; there is a program called Anti-Blaxx which blocks secuROM7, which might be worth taking a look at if Act Of War uses securom (I currently use this to run Stronghold2 without a cd).

Daemon Tools has securom emulation also. Just right click in the tray icon, and highlight emulation. Alcohol has a image making wizard you can use. I use 1.9.5, and when I open the program at the top left you will see the image making wizard. My image is finished, testing it now.
Starforce Nightmare also defeats securom7. That is what I use as antiblaxx seemed to give me issues. As far as making a mini image with alcohol 120%:
Start with the original CD or Clone.
Start making the image (use a slow speed, 300k is good) when it hits 2% cancel the image but do NOT delete it.
Voila a working mini-image. if it doesn't work, try going a tad bit longer to see if it helps.

09-05-2005, 00:56
So I don't need to have any special options enabled in Alcohol?
Anyway, thanks a lot for the help guys, and good luck with your image SirMaverick.

So no mini image yet ?? :cool:

It depends on the copy protection in question. Generally you need to choose the proper copy protection on the pull down menu. occasionally you need to check a box. If you google it, sometimes you can find the settings you need for that particular copy protection. Otherwise just experiment if it doesn't work right.
Has anyone tried making one yet at all?
Its IMPOSSIBLE to make a SECUROM mini-image.
Mini Images are ONLY for Starforce/Safedisk games. NO OTHER.
NO SECUROM Miniimages! NEVER
So don't ask for things never can exist.

You can make mini images for securom. Heck, I am using one right now! All you need in addition is a program that blocks the protection, for instance anti-blaxx.
And last time I checked you had to disable the cd-rom channels and run the game off a USB interface when using a SF mini image, which I doubt can be called a "working" mini image.
No need radar. Just use starforce Nightmare and you can mount a SF protected game normally and play it.
SirMaverick
16-05-2005, 15:13
I'm wondering if this damn thing will ever get finished. I got a no-cd to start the program, but that's as far as it goes. Any suggestions out there? THe game opens with the new no-cd but when it goes to the movie, everythign cuts out. As far as a mini image, I don't think it will happen :( :confused: :confused: :confused:
how many day passed ? still we've no crack. ı wont wait . there is no hope :(

So you don't need any USB drive crap?
No just run Starforce nightmare, disable your optical drives, mount the image (make a slight registry change).

Hi,
I'm impatient to use this new NoCD patch.
In my case I have DVD version and it's a lot boring to need leave it in the driver.
Version 1.0------------------> SecuROM 5.03.13.0014
Version 1.03 (patch 1b)------> SecuROM 7.00.00.0022
Version 1.04.8 (patch 2)-----> SecuROM 7.00.00.0038
I don't like use Virtual Drive. NoCDs are the best. :D
Thanks to work for that !
Sharkmeat
26-05-2005, 18:26
Well The new patch didn't really hurt much, once you start the game with your RETAIL DVD or CD just remove the DVD/CD, and keep on playing, this cut's down on the DVD spin up & down, But a Nocd would be alot simpler LOL if one could be made. Cheers

Question it states in the manuly of Act Of War you can make a back up, copy of the game fpr personel use and protection of your original copy, my question is Do I need to do it in DVD format (and will it read the copyed exe?) or can I use the CD format for reg CD rom, remember questions are only stupid to the ones that know the answers. :confused: Thx,s
SirMaverick
05-06-2005, 13:59
Here's an update guys...
I'm not too sure what's been going on with this game, however, I know that the release of the fixed exe will be out very shortly. I am about 50% there to having this thing done. At last post, the game started then crashed a little into the movie. Well, it crashes now after the first level is done. Bear with me. :confused:
has anyone tried the mini image posted on GCW?
doomerdgr8
08-06-2005, 19:09
Keep up the good work!
I have not played this game for a long time... as I upgraded it and well...
Image For Act Of War 1.04 ( Ger ) on GCW work :)
I am not used a german version but it`s works :)
Mount the image on Virtual CD ( I used old Virtual CD 5 )
Megaschwanz
09-06-2005, 01:26
Yes, the image works with virtual cd v7. (Act of war 1.04 german).
I don't have much experience with virtual CD v7. Anybody knows advantages in comparison with alcohol or other emulators ?
I think it might be a great programm, because it fools securom v7 and you can play from a virtual drive. So it's better than alcohol ?? With alcohol I must burn a real DVD and then it works (or sometimes not).
I don't feel like installing Virtual CD - is there any tool to convert the .VC4 to ISO so I can keep using DTools?
SirMaverick: I can't wait to see the result of your work - thanks in advance!
Just out of interest: What's so special about AoW v1.04 that takes it so long to be ... fixed? I haven't heard of a similar gap between official release and fix so far.

No? What about Splinter Cell 3 and Trackmania Sunrise? And LotR Battle for Middleearth? :confused: Sometimes it isn't that easy to create a working (without additional bugs, not that one from the original game) NoCD/NoDVD for a new game... ;)

Just to let you know the 1.04nocd/fixed image also works for the new patch...Just tried it
hi,
Fixed Image for 1.04, works with Patch 1.05
Play Instructions:
* Install the game - Full Installation.
* Mount the AOW.VC4 CD-Image in Virtual CD.
* Play the Game!
That's nice - still, I'd prefer a fixed EXE...
Especially because I still don't feel like installing Virtual CD - isn't there any tool to convert the .VC4 to ISO so I can keep using Daemon Tools?
No, i test it, i use the vc4 image with latest Alcohol120% and Deamon-Tools, it doesn´t work
both tools are blacklistet, so Securom7 dont accept the image...
only work with Virtual-CD7
Radar911
13-06-2005, 01:00
UltraISO supports the vc4 format, unfortunately if looks like you have to press and hold enter to skip through all the errors - which makes me doubt that it will work.
Anyway, 1.05 does work on the Virtual CD program, although the program is a bit of a pile of **** I must say.
I hope a crack comes from Hoodlum soon, or that somebody manages to convert the vc4 mini-image to ISO format so that I can at least run it with anti-blaxx.

13-06-2005, 07:14
The crack for version 1.05 was just released. That was really fast. Thank you. Good job.
