hmm the pesky CDAC11BA.EXE is still around and I believed was auto start by the installation even after you crack the protection, bOOls eYe, I deleted the CDAC11BA.EXE last time.

Nooo
So it would seem M$ has won this battle - I cant believe it! Is there not some additional resources we can bring to this battle? Others with the skillz that can open up a can ) woop azz on this? If this community can crack this think of what it would mean for other games out there! I only wish I had the skillz to do this
Never Give Up - Never Give In! Maybe the MW4 patch needs to be checked too - h3ll I would uninstall it all clean this stuff off my system and reinstall if I could have a true no-cd patch. (ok I am off the soapbox) |
Can someone e-mail me the 96740ede.dat C_DILLA license file to give it a try?

GCS Sorry I can't find that file any where.
And thanks to all the people working on this :) |
finally
Here is a fixed exe that works no asking for cd #2...
http://www.kaoslegion.com/assets/dow..._0-1_0/MW4.zip |
To TANKORR:
Still it doesn't work for the Inner Sphere Pack.... |
?
@ GCS I have the IS pak installed and it works? Do you have BK installed too? If so there is a different fixed exe. Let me know!
BTW - I know many peeps that are using the link I posted and it works for them... Question - what errors or issues are you having? |
For those that care to know and/or haven't noticed yet, the MW4(pr3.0) and BK(pr1.0) no-cd cracks found at kaoslegion are, as per MD5 comparison, the EXACT SAME ones found at Gamefix and made by SoftBeard.
I've tested these 2 no-cd cracks by Softbeard and found them to work with and without the IS-MPak installed. The tests were done only on SINGLE PLAYER, I have not had a chance to test on MP, LAN, etc, as yet. The extra features of the IS-MPak are also available and functional, when using the no-cd cracks. These results are applicable only to the U.S. Retail version of the game, which is the one I've tested with. Trust this helps. |
...
U r correct - since gamefix's link to houseofhappy is down its good there is another location - to bad the guy that is hosting them did not provide credit :(
BTW it works with MP and on the zone... |
To TANKORR
I also have BK installed. At the end of the IS Pack installation i get the error "Insert correct CD in drive" so i suspect that something doesn't install correctly.... Can you tell me how you installed the Pack? Did you try Bull'sEye suggestion to burn a CD and then install or not? Please e-mail me at: crushroller**********com to avoid filling the Forums with messages.... Thanks... |
..
@ GCS
I cant recall the issue I had but I did two things. Uninstalled BK - never play the thing lol With MW4 installed I restarted the install process with the CD and basically did a repair (re-installed without un-installing) This refreshed the files and got rid of some of the custom user made add-ons I had HUD patch, no-cd patch from v2... Then I installed the softbread patch from the link I posted which according to softbread is now at a new location: http://members.rogers.com/ufeng/mw4&bk_pr1_nocd.zip GL and let me know if that works. BTW BK uses a different version of the macrovision product so its either that or add-ons you have that are causing your problems (my guess) I hope this thing works with the next mech pac so I can use all the bk weapons plus the new stuff in reg MW4 |
ok i read all of what you said ppl
and can someone give me a simple answer
i have orignal MW4 and a burned BK i have them both installed how do i install the mech pack??? |
I also have trouble making this to work! I install the MW4 and BK (originals) but i when i install the Mech Pack IS and apply the fixed exe's the game still doesn't recognize the new mechs....
|
@ Bool's Eye:
I get an error "Please insert correct cd" at the end of the MechPackIS installation... Yes i also tried your suggestion... I suspect that something is not installed (while it should) during the MechPackIS installation or the problem is that both my MW4 and BK are originals (!?!). Off Topic: I have an .exe file from Patrician2 v1.1 that besides Securom has an added protection - after 2 mins of playing it corrupts the screen. It's not a DX or graphic card problem. Are you interested to take a look? |
install issues
OK for GCS and Nimrod:
1) What OS are you using? 2) Did you uninstall? If not start there! (see my post on that) 3) Give a COMPLETE step by step discription of what you are doing. BTW lets try to get the MW4 plus IS and CLAN packs installed and working for multiplayer then go from there to get BK installed. My gut feeling is that the process is not being followed e.g. correct patches.... If you play on the ZONE you can find me there usally around 9pm PST or later look for KaoS_TANKORR1 I am not hard to find. @ B00l eYe - thanks for all the work bro! (keep it up) FYI I have MW4 + IS & Clan pack working (all store bought versions on a win98 SE machine) those that use burned version might have issues do to some obscure file corruption or other unknown issue I suggest you buy them if needed :) They can be had cheap these days! |
To TANKORR:
The problem is that i use a "burnt" copy to install the ISPack and since the installer checks for a valid CD during installation some files or registry entries/c_dilla certificates are probably not installed.... I'll try installing from the original CD and i guess i'll have no problems... Thanks for your help. |
I just thought I would post my recent experiences with MW4 Black Knight, and the IS and Clan mech packs. I installed Mw4, then Black knight and both mech packs using the originals, then proceeded to make a copy of the Black Knight Disc using Clone CD. I then try to play using the copy. The game works and both packs are functional. I then repeat the procedure on my second computer. Same results. I then try to play multiplayer with both my machines using a local lan setup. The machines begin to connect but give up while trying to validate vehicles (that is the message anyhow). I suspect that because the same serial number was used for both machines during the mechpack install that the games are refusing to connect to each other. Has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone know if the NOCD patch referenced eariler in this thread addresses this, or does anyone know how to get around this problem?

Great work
Great bOOl's eYe! Thats working fine, but during installing was one trouble: it says "can't find scshd2.exe". Than I copyed that file into my \TEMP dir and all became to work properly. Thanks for that crack.
|
Yes, I done all right and now I have new mechs in the game. So all are working good :)
|
@ bOOls eYe
It worked perfectly! One explanation: To avoid a "SCSHD2.EXE can't be found error" during installation, copy the SCSHD2.EXE file to the WINDOWS/TEMP directory before installing the IS Pack! |
|
HELP!!!!
HELP!!!!
at start when i entered the CD he showed like its already installed so i did uninastall (i dunno for what) and then install it doesnt work i followed blooseyes instructions and it doesnt work! after installing the IS pack its say "cant open Scshd2.exe" and ohter wierd thing i have orignal MW4 and when im trying to install it to a difrent dir he can he just wont do anything after alot trying i notice it is a problem with this area orignal : c:\program files\micro$oft games\mechwarior vengens i wanted to change it to c:\games\mechwarior vengens but i didnt worked but for some reson he could install it to c:\program files\micro$oft games\mechwariorvengens |
Problem Solved!!!!!
It's not mine post, but I tested and worked like a charm...and belive me...I tested a lot of things before this and none worked...
From Sharereactor Forum... Mechwarrior 4 and Mech Paks Just want to clear up a few things: The Filenexus release of Mechwarrior 4 (2 CDs) works just fine with Th3_Lorax Mech Paks. Even when it appears that the Mech Paks fail the safecast check during installation (DOS box, schd.exe, insert CD message,...) it still works! This is because you will run the game with the cracked .exe! There's a post on Filenexus Forum about updating (patching) Mechwarrior 4 to version 2. Just copy this link to your browser: http://www.filenexus.com/forum/viewt...highlight=mech *Note: You don't need to create a .bat file like the guy did. You can manually copy the file (Follow the steps). You also don't need to download the Patch 2 or the crack since these are included in the Black Knight Expansion release. Here's how to get the mech paks to work with Mechwarrior 4 and Black Knight Expansion: 1. Install Mechwarrior 4 (Full Installation) 2. copy "D:\Content\Movies\*.*" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\content\movies\*.*" copy "D:\Content\Movies\Op1Mpeg\*.*" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\content\movies\Op1Mpeg\*.*" copy "D:\Content\Movies\Op2Mpeg\*.*" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\content\movies\Op2Mpeg\*.*" copy "D:\Content\Movies\Op3Mpeg\*.*" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\content\movies\Op3Mpeg\*.*" copy "D:\Content\Movies\Op4Mpeg\*.*" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\content\movies\Op4Mpeg\*.*" copy "D:\Content\Movies\Op5Mpeg\*.*" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\content\movies\Op5Mpeg\*.*" copy "D:\Content\Movies\Op6Mpeg\*.*" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\content\movies\Op6Mpeg\*.*" copy "D:\CONTENT\SHELLS_1\FILES\stutte_1.wav" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\content\shellscripts\files\StutterShark_ music.wav" copy "D:\resource\*.MW4" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\resource\*.*" copy "D:\resource\missions\att.txt" "C:\C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\resource\missions\att.txt" copy "D:\resource\missions\koth.txt" "C:\C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\resource\missions\koth.txt" copy "D:\MW4.exe" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\MW4.exe" copy "E:\RESOURCE\MAPS\*.*" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\resource\maps\*.*" copy "E:\RESOURCE\MISSIONS\*.*" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\resource\missions\*.*" copy "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\MW4.exe" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Vengeance\copy MW4.exe" (You basically have to copy everything from the 2 CDs to the corresponding directories on your hard drive) 3. Install Black Knight Expansion. This will automatically run patch 2. DON'T COPY THE CRACKS OVER YET! 4. Install Inner Sphere Mech Pak and/or Clan Mech Pak. It will also automatically run patch 3. Now extract those cracked .exe (the ones included in Th3_Lorax releases) 5. Run "MW4_v30_nocd.exe" to play Mechwarrior 4, "MW4x_pr1_nocd.exe" to play Black Knight Expansion. The best part is that both "mw4.exe" and "mw4x.exe" are intact (not cracked) so you won't have to reinstall everything when a new patch comes out. You also don't need the CDs to play. A few months ago, there was a post on this forum about how to disable C_DILLA. Just use the search to find it. Thanx to Th3_Lorax for the releases. Peace out! |
There are 2 protections. MW4 and Black Knight have Safedisk protection and the Mech Packs have Safecast protection.
You don't have to disable C_DILLA. Using bOOls eYe instructions and patch you actually install the Safecast protection that is required for the Mech Packs!!! The original Mech Pack CD is checked during installation only so once it is installed you don't need the original CD... So then you can use the fixed MW4 .exe files with Safedisk removed. |
bOOls eYe,
Do you still have that scshd patch somewhere? The link in the other message no longer works. |
Yes, I'd like to get those files too if anyone can assist.
