Indigo Prophecy

- put CD3-1 into a temp folder overwriting existing files
- edit "Indigo Prophecy.msi" with Orca, go to media tab and change VolumeLabel to e.g. "Indigo Prophecy" and save
- include a crack folder for 1.1-update and it's crack
- burn content to a blank dvd-r naming it "Indigo Prophecy"
- install game
- play

This helped me to integrate the crack and 1.1 patch into the cab.

You'll also need an MSI Installer file editor like Orca or Total Commander with the MSI-Plus plugin.

If you like long complicated explanations then what we did was this:

1. Installed the game and patched it to v1.1, the patch just installs 2 game files: 'Indigo Prophecy.exe' and 'obj\bytecode.btc', you don't really need the Readme file the patch installs.
2. Edited the 'Indigo Prophecy.msi' from CD1 with Total Commander + MSI-Plus plugin (you can use Orca or any other MSI editor) and deleted the 'Indigo CD1' 'Indigo CD2' and 'Indigo CD3' entries from the MEDIA file in the TABLES section. Saved this edited file somewhere safe!
3. Extracted GameDa~1.cab from CD1 to a temp directory.
4. Created a file 'list.txt' in the correct order of the GameDa~1.cab. If you use Winrar to open the CAB file make sure the 'sort by' view is set to 'Original order' (same for Winzip) then the files appear in the correct order and helps you write a file list, but you can use this one:
Code:
bigfile_pc.idm
__quantic_dream__.url
readme.txt
indigo_prophecy.ini
bigfile_pc.d02
__indigo_prohecy__.url
__atari__.url
bytecode.btc
binkw32.dll
indigo_prophecy.exe
mfc70.dll
rolldemo.bik
nvidia.bik
logoquan.bik
logoatar.bik
bonus05.bik
bonus04.bik
bonus03.bik
bonus02.bik
bonus01.bik
msvcp70.dll
stlport_vc745.dll
msvcr70.dll
5. Copied CABARC.EXE (from the downloaded CABSDK.EXE archive from MS site) and the file 'list.txt' into the same directory as the temp extracted files.
6. Opened the installed game directory and copied the 'obj/bytecode.btc' file (remember to apply the v1.1 patch) to the temp folder, overwrote the original file.
7. Renamed the Reloaded v1.1 Crack to 'indigo_prophecy.exe' and copied it to the temp folder too, overwrote the original file.
8. Edited the 'indigo_prophecy.ini' file and changed 'USMode=1' to 'USMode=0' as this apparently enables some sex scenes that were in the Euro version. Not tested this or confirmed but you can try it or leave it alone.
9. Started a command prompt and navigated to the same directory as the temp files and typed in this command: Cabarc n GameDa~1.cab @list.txt and hit RETURN. After a few minutes or so we had a new GameDa~1.cab archive.

So, you can now use this new CAB file and the edited MSI Installer file to make a new DVD pre-patched and cracked to v1.1! Just copy CD1 to a new folder along with the CAB files from CD2 and CD3. Replace the GameDa~1.cab with your newly created one and the 'Indigo Prophecy.msi' with your edited one and burn the files to a Re-Writeable DVD and test the install. If it works for you, burn to DVD-R/+R

Hope you can follow all that, it did work for my American mate!
