first of all, thanks dab for your kind comments. thank god there are some people out there who have experienced the (sometimes) hell while going through the game code and reversing out all these options we add to the trainers for these games. and the games are getting worse and worse.... some don't let you attach a debugger to them, others crash when breakpointing, and some games in vista detect any changes to the code while running and then crash out.... finding ways around the protection has become a secondary battle in and of itself...
at any rate, we post this info in many areas but here's something to consider:
I don't think that people realize the time, effort and money that goes into making these trainers for virtually every game that comes out, and then updating those trainers multiple times when new patches are published.
1. We must buy the game on the release date. Sometimes this might involve buying multiple copies from different sources (ie: Steam, D2D) for bigger titles. If we don't have the game, we can't make the trainer...
2. We must play the game through to determine what options to include in the trainer.
3. The game must be debugged so that the options can be traced. Doing this around major copy protection can be very difficult and time consuming in some cases.
4. The options must be play-tested to make sure they work properly and for the player only (not the enemy or AI). This must often be done on multiple systems with multiple operating systems (Vista, XP, DX9, DX10, etc).
5. The trainer must be packaged and published, often with built-in links to help and troubleshooting guides, with ReadMe.txt attached for quick help, etc.
6. The programmer must be paid for his services.
We ask for a small membership fee to help cover the time and expenses involved in these processes, and only for a short time until the trainer is released to the public. Please show us this courtesy. If you like the trainers and would like to see more made in the future, help support the site and become a member. Otherwise, please wait patiently for the trainer(s) to become available on the public release date.
Thanks to everyone that helps to support our website. We all appreciate it.
Best,
Caliber
