Doom 3 Convert to DVD

[reddragon105]

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

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!

[reddragon105]

thanks for the advice KAMiKAZE

but how do i disassemble the setup.exe file?

[norman_usual]

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
