What protection does Doom 3 use?

[reddragon105]

UPDATE - i've done a bit of learning about .MSI files this afternoon, the .msi file on doom 3 disk 1 was looking for the next disk at certain points in the installation even if the files it needed were present. it looked for the specific volume labels too.

after finding, downloading and learning how to use an msi editor i managed to change it to look for the same volume label for each disk (the label of the dvd im going to make)

this could be useful info for anyone wanting to back up a multiple disk game to a single dvd

Firstly, thanks for info.

Secondly, it can be done even better:
Instead of changing all checked labels, you can just change the "LastSequence" of the first disk to the one of the last one.


Since the first disk label isn't checked, there will be no label check at all anymore. This means, you can call the DVD as you like and install the game from hard disk, network drive etc., too.

Brilliant! Thanks for the hints; will be nice to be able to set it installing and walk away when/if it needs to be reinstalled.
