Hacking Combat Mission 2 Us 1.01

MAsta_KFC · #1 26-01-2003, 01:11

Ok, after not having any success finding a cracked exe for Combat Mission 2 US ENLGISH 1.01 version, I tried using w32dasm and HIEW to do some hex editing. A tutorial that I read tells me I should find the 'No CD-ROM' message and change the relevant offset hex to 90. However, i *think* i get progress becoz the splash screen comes up, but then the game hangs.

Can anyone offer me any hints or Tips? Or better yet, does anyone have the cracked exe? Thanks!!

EDIT1: OK from what I've tried, I've used the Import Function to find the Kernel32:GetdrivetypeA offset. However, I am lost now. from the tutorials I've read, there seems to be some jargon relating to conditional or unconditional jumps. How do i figure that out? Thanx.

EDIT2: YAY!!!! I've done it!!! Well, I didn't use any methods of tracking or anything, i just downloaded FBSA's ver 1.00 crack, looked what they changed, and applied the same!!! And it works fine!!!

Congratulations !

If you send it to [email protected], it will probably be put on the site. If not, you can send me a copy and I'll make sure it gets send out to other people. Other people take note : if there's no nocd for you, you can always make one yourself and impress me

Thanks Rincewind. I felt my method was a bit more like 'cheating' though, because I had to look thru the FBSA crack. Maybe one day i'll inspect the files more closely to see why those values were changed. But right now, I'm too busy playing the game itself. And ver 1.02 comes out soon, hopefully we won't have to wait several months for a crack. =)

BTW How do I send you a copy to distribute?

You must have sent that file to GQ.
