Doom 3 Convert to DVD

[highstuff]

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)

[highstuff]

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 ?

[reddragon105]

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
