I dont think so! Its more like a patch. There are many language changer for different games on fan sites and official sites (you get a english to german converter for galactiv civ at the homepage). And do not forget: There ist also a patch for AOE 3 at GCW! And if you think, every changing from game files is illegal, you have also no right to use a no CD Crack!

To the main post. You should look at fansites for such mods.

And as we know, using NOCDs isn't allowed in Germany.

I don't think so. If there is no english version of a game, fans often create translation mods. And that's okay. But concerning Earth 2160, there is an english version available. The real problem is taking original content from the english version for use in a mod. And that's where you offend copyright laws.

Sounds hard but I really do not care about that. I have more than 150 games, all purchased, and I think, I have the right to use them for playing. And nobody has the right to tell me how or to tell me I have to deinstall tools to play a game, I have paid for. I have only a HighEnd Notebook and I am playing at several places. I am not willing to carry all CDs / DVDs with me. And: Some games would not run because they do not like my DL DVD Burner. So I really dont care . . .

Maybe here you are right. But think here also about the AoE 3 patch on CGW . . .

But in reply to your post. It is possible. But Earth 2160 uses an own packing format for big files. You have to compre them and use the un/repacker for these files.

And yeah its illegal to change any data without the developers consent.

So what we are doing here? If I take you word by word, you have no right to use a noCD Crack, so all this forum here is then illegal . . .

Technically yes, but not really..

Removing a cd-check isnt as bad as rewriting game code to change it..

If you think what your thinking, then you may aswell put trainers into the same category as cracks.
