Legality is something thats hard to prove one way or another; as it can be said that it is your 'property' to do with as you see fit. However, should a problem arise, due to the modifications, they are no longer liable for any damages... in a sense there eula also stipulates that by using there software that they are in fact/ not liable for any damages to begin with... so in court... atari has neither chamber pot to piss in, or a window to toss it out of...

ps.

Down with sf!

That is probably the crack used by Reloaded in their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0-day" target="_blank">0-day</a> <a href="http://www.newtorrents.info/?id=10783&swap=nfo" target="_blank">release</a> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />
Some people that used the Reloaded version complained about crashes every 10-15 mins. I was better off waiting for the original. I installed <a href="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=8235" target="_blank">K3-MOD 9.1</a> and then I used dengo's repack of cpt blackfeet's <a href="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=8208" target="_blank">translation</a>. Now the game is fun.
 
CAUTION mates.

All this boasting about getting around Starforce...

I seem to recall that Stronghold 2 didn't require copy-protection until later patches (if I'm right, someone back me up!?). So before we all start firing our pistols into the air, just be aware. They can fix the bugs in the game, and they could also probably find a way to make you HAVE to use some type of copy-protection, at least if you want the patches.

I'd like to see the publishers do the right thing and get rid of computer-invading copy-protection malware and go back to CD keys, but in the end, they're gonna do whatever they want to do anyway.

I don't own the game yet, but I look forward to seeing it in stores near me soon.
 
well someone of the AOP team said they where gonna release a no SF patch for this game ...

Beside's ... there's always a backdoor for these "minor problems" :p And we need a no SF crack because otherwise we woudn't be able to mod the game <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
i guess this will be useless when the Patch arrives <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

oh and will multiplayer still work with this crack?
 
cool, btw is there any way of telling if this will still work when the next AOP patch comes out, or do we have to wait for a new version of the crack?
 
At this point, we cannot tell. It depends weither they've editted engine.exe or not. I believe it is most likly that they'll edit this file, so it is possble that evryone will have to restore the original engine.exe on their system(If you've overwritten the file, you probable can gain it just back from your cd with copy past, no need to reinstall)

When you then have the orginal file, update your game, and then you'll need to download a new crack for your patched game

This is how it ussualy works

Cheers
 
ok thanks, its kind of sad and funny thou, having to download a crack to play a game that i legally own because of the starforce crap lol.
 
I wont be buying or playing this game because of SF. However, if the developers release a non-sf patch, then I will buy it. Otherwise, they have lost a sale to me. I do not buy any games that use that shit. Period. I don't care how good the game is, or could be... I refuse to support it.
 
they most likely will not edit the engine as it has not been edited for a long time, as long as engine.exe and xinterface.dll are not modified then your all set with the current crack as those 2 files are the only 2 ones that do the actual cracking of the game.
 
can i use only engine.exe and xinterface then to crack? or do i need to apply all the files for the crack to work?
 
all you really need is those 2 files to crack the game. The other files are in the patch just so you have the program folder and such because u dont have them with the original english game. And it's needed when you want to play modded games.
 
Are there specific instructions for downloading this patch? What to open it with? Where to put it?

Its an .rar file and my computer knowledge is pretty limited.
 
for opening a .rar file you need a Winrar or equivalent program.

I've heard that one of the best programs from this job would be tugzip

You can download it here

<a href="http://www.tugzip.com/" target="_blank">http://www.tugzip.com/</a>

(I don't use it myself tough, but it's 100 percent FREE and supports all the files I know (unlike winrar)

once you've opened it, you'll find a .exe file in it. Just replace the .exe file from your map to your AOP folder .. et voila Job done
 
How can you mod it if the system says that you have to change the name because it is an only reading type.

and now i can`t start a game thanks to that stupid crap


sorry, my mistake, i deleted ships init, and renade the new one, because i can`t change the file, because it is a only reading file

AGAIN false alarm, there is nothing wrong with all the file <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />
