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 . . .

The real problem is taking original content from the english version for use in a mod. And that's where you offend copyright laws

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.

I think some of you are missing something: I have a license for Earth 2160. So, if there is an english conversion available (either it has the developers content, or not), i should have the right to use it with same reason.

Let the game company protect its data, and let the customer play the game, in the language that he wants to play.

I must give an example. You know that notebooks come with operating systems like Windows XP HE. In Turkey, companies like HP offers Windows XP Home Edition English by default, bu if you ask them that you want the Turkish one, they simply accept it and make the cd changement. One of my friend asked Microsoft Turkey about this and they have approved it..

Your wrong, you bought the right to play the game.. Not own it to change it..


Again people will really need to read their EULA..


Also, if you wanted english why didnt you buy the english one?
