Doom 3 Convert to DVD
 

Maybe wrong site but here goes. I copied all files to dvd (from the 3 CD`s to the same folders that was on the DVD image), then when I went to install game it asks for CD2.
Does anybody know what I need to do so that it defaults to the inserted DVD?

TIA

thomo

Do the following:

Create a folder called "DOOM3_DVD" on you HDD and copy all files from CD1 to this folder. Now copy all .PK4 files from the Setup/Data/Base Folders from CD2&3 to the setup/data/base folder on to the HDD. Don't copy any other files from CD2 or 3 or you will destroy the autorun!!! Now replace the doom3.exe located in setup/data with the cracked / nocd one. To override the CD request in setup replace the original Doom 3.msi with my patched one.

Now burn the entire contets of the "DOOM3_DVD" to a DVD-R or DVD+R using the Label "DOOM3_DVD" and Nero 5/6.

Have fun!!!

p.s. please give me your E-Mail so I can send you the cracked .exe and patched .msi

The european version will be on dvd alredy :D

hi
 

can I get the patched .msi as well and cracked .exe please I pmed you my email
thanks karlmueller :)

i've got a patch .msi as well, it requires the DVD to be named simply 'DOOM3'

you can do it yourself using a program called MaSaI Editor which is free to download on trial. requires the .NET framework to run so you might need to download that too

simply open up the .msi file in the editor and scroll down to the 'Media' section. click on it to open it, and you'll see a list of disk names. DOOM3_CD1, DOOM3_CD2, DOOM3_CD3, DOOM3_CD1 again like that.

just change all the entries to whatever you want to call your DVD and save the .msi file

Hi Reddragon
 

Is it possible that new file is for 176 bytes greater than old file?
I changed DOOM3_1, DOOM3_2, DOOM3_3 and DOOM3_1 to DOOM3.

Thanx, Fazrik

I was unable to send it to [email protected] there is an error with this adress, please give me another one (GMX is best).

Sorry

yes it was slightly larger, i cant remember by how much

but why does this matter?

I just created a doom3 directory and copyed all the files from cd1 and the pak files from the other cd's and the install works without a patched msi file hmm strange.

...but when you burn it to a DVD it will not work.

thats right highstuff - you're running it from hard drive arent you? it will work from there, but once burned to a DVD, or even from an ISO image, it will ask for disk 2 (and disk 3, but it wont get that far)

yes you guys are right i created a iso image of the doom3 directory and mounted using demon tools it ask for cd2 oh well , i opened the doom3 MSI file with an hex editor changed the DOOM3_1 ,DOOM3_2,DOOM3_3 strings to just DOOM3 i safed and created the iso again (volumelabel the iso DOOM3) and mount it and it now it works flawless that was easy :)

at least you read this before you wasted a dvd-r

i found out the hard way :(

a question though - how did you change it using a hex editor?
as DOOM3 is shorter than DOOM3_1
i used an MSI editor for Doom 3, but im trying to do the same thing with Mafia which has no MSI file.
when i change it using a hex editor, i change MAFIA_CD_%i to just MAFIA as thats what im going to call the dvd
however when i save it, it says its not a valid Win32 application

I used xe.exe its a verry small dos based hex edit utility i searched for DOOM3_1 and changed the _1 with the spacebar than it fills those 2 characters with 2 00 bytes. so it won't get any smaller. :)

and about that maffia game , wich file are you trying to edit ? just setup.exe ? the setup.exe most times use some sort of crc checking...

and when does it says "not a valid win32 applicaton" by the hex edit
safing already? or after you started the game setup ?

forget the 'not a valid Win32 application' thing, that was my mistake and its fixed now :)

the file is called MafiaSetup.exe
im using Hex Workshop 4.2, there is no separate entries for the three disks, just one entry that says 'MAFIA_CD_%i' so i guess the %i stands for whichever number of the disk that is being asked for at the time.
i changed this to MAFIA, replacing the last 6 characters (_CD_%i) with spaces.

but now the file does nothing at all when it is run

if you have any advice, post it here, as this is a Doom 3 thread and we might upset someone :)

hi reddragon105
'MAFIA_CD_%i' probably only stands for the name of the function you should disassemble the thing to get an better overview (you can check data and code hex there if avaible!)

btw I never tryed to disassmble an installer or a setup*exe normally not a good idea!

thanks for the advice KAMiKAZE

but how do i disassemble the setup.exe file?

Need a little help
 

I have already installed the whole game on my comp, no problem. Everytime i put in the firstcd though, it says insert cd 1. Could someone plese explain to me what the MSI, and hex programs do. I think that may be all i need to do to get it working. - thanks

one word for you norman - crack

the msi editing is for installing, if you read the thread you would see that its necessary because the game looks for DOOM3_1, DOOM3_2, DOOM3_3. if your disks are called something else, you need to change the file to look for the correct name. if you've installed the game, this is not your problem

you say you've installed the game. if you're using originals and it doesnt work i'd say 'hmm thats strange, take it back to the shop'. but im guessing you're using a backup, in which case i should say, 'forget the backup, run it from your original' but to help you run it from your backup i will just say 'crack'

a quick look at some of the other threads here should tell you what that means

thanks karlmueller
 

Thanks for the patched msi and cracked exe karlmueller did all that you said in your post and works perfect thanks alot :D

please dont kill me!!

rld-d3a

i got some files that look like this.i dont know how to go in them or wut program to use.the files go from d3a-d3c.

a lil help is needed please.

if some one dont mind could u give me a step by step and list the programs i need.

thank you,Romeo615

i dont mind running it from my drive!

so reddragon105 before this thread get closed or so here a site that'll help you click! take a look at the decompilers section. (maybe some of the downloads won't work)

You´ve downloaded cracked version from net....Naughty You! :mad:

can you please send me the patched .msi file to

[email protected]


thanks

thats funny, i thought shops sold disks, not files.... i wonder where you got those particular files from? :rolleyes:

if you dont know what to do with them you have no business downloading them.

go buy the game, conveniently you'll find the data already extracted on the disks for you :p

there is NO european version and NO dvd version. worldwide.

@Karlmueller plz send me the .msi and cracked exe

TOOLS NEEDED:

Windows?
Alcohol 120%
Nero?

Mount the game images using alcohol 120%. Go to mounted drive of CD1 and
select all files and folders CTRL+A then do CTRL+C.

Paste it all in let's say C:\DOOM3\

Now browse to mounted drive of CD2 and go to \Setup\Data\base. Copy all
the .pk4 files from there to C:\DOOM3\Setup\Data\base\. Now do the same
for cd3. Go to your CD3 drive path \Setup\Data\base\ and again copy all
the pk4 files and paste them into C:\DOOM3\Setup\Data\base\.

You should now have the following files in c:\DOOM3\Setup\Data\base\

game00.pk4
pak002.pk4
pak000.pk4
pak001.pk4
pak003.pk4
pak004.pk4

if that's correct unmount the images from alcohol 120%. Go to your
c:\DOOM3\ dir and double click on Launch.exe

Setup should now fireup and everything should go as planed without the
installer asking for addiotinal cd's. Now remember you can also burn all
files from c:\DOOM3\ dir onto a DVD and then make an image out of it or
simply use nero and image recorder to make an iso,nrg or whatever you like

This will work only if you launch the setup from the harddrive as soon you burn it to a DVD it will ask for the CDs if you are not useing a patched .MSI file.
