For the record, I don't care if you talk about exe modifications here (as long as it is not about defeating the copy protection), and I don't care if cheat engine is information is shared here.

Distributing an exe file though, should be discussed elsewhere.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet

Thanks guys for the feedback. IIRC both ODFs work correctly but the later one had some tweaks for balance reasons. one problem that I did run into, was that the collision was kinda funky due to the rotors. Anyway I hope to post some more assets soon.

Is removing the need to insert the game disc (no cd hack) considered defeating copy protection; or is that in reference to cd key protection? I think the cd key controls are stored a different exe than battlefront.exe (install\CDKey.exe)

That is great news Nikoli thanks for your generosity to the modding community. Were the rotors difficult to make in zeroeditor?

I think that the CD check was intended to prevent software piracy.  (Which is unfortunate, since that is the thing that keeps us from going to 1.3 beta.)

Very unfortunate, but also understandable from a marketing perspective. The developers main concern was making money off this game and this is why they incorporated protection features.

No need to try fixing my post it's fine the way it is. You think the people developing the game had no interest in money? They only developed it because they got a paycheck for doing so. Name me at least two pandemic/lucasarts developer who volunteered their work for free (and u can't say psych0fred on this) and I will accept your fix. Yes publishers, but also developers. Everyone listed in the credits, even George Lucas himself made a profit from this game. And I'm glad to have supported them when I bought the game from the store.

*THIS POST IS BLANK BECAUSE I KNOW Phobos CAN NOT BE CORRECTED WHEN HE IS WRONG* (I'm not shouting btw. just doing the *MESSAGE HERE* format)

I think you were just adding to my post, that is to say neither of us were wrong.

Well, this is taking this topic off course, but I do hope the developers made money off this game--they certainly deserved it!

BTW, since CD checking is probably for defeating piracy/copy protection, those discussions should be left off of this forum.


topic locked.

Nikoli, if you release assets, please make a new post.  (Sorry for the hijack :) )
