SiMoNsAyS

i'm playing it right now, i can't believe what you can do in that game: i've just move my 4x4 with a crane and my favorite... the gravity-gun, the best weapon on the HL world. until that i never thought on cut at half an alien body with a chainsaw disc . i highly recommend it. i'm sure there will be a before and an after HL2

i'm sure you'll learn a lot of things here as i did. hola desde españa

the first, but need to be named like your username, also you can add an administrator display pic f.e.: if my username is SiMoNsAyS i need to place $OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\SiMoNsAyS.bmp the Administrador display pic would be $OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Administrator.bmp* *this is for english lang, on other languages administrator can be named different

1.0 of course

I've played NBA2k5, NFS:U2, MOH:AA, MOH:SPEAR and MOH:BREAK all of them EA games under SP2 and no problems.

i've just bought my new dvd recorder (nec 3500A black) LoL! perhaps i can use this technology sometime (long live to dvd!)

let me think... you can call a .cmd file that rotates the logons... copy customlogon3.exe customlogontemp.exe copy customlogon2.exe customlogon3.exe copy customlogon1.exe customlogon2.exe copy customlogontemp.exe customlogon1.exe del customlogontemp.exei usually did something like this when i wanted to change my wall on w98 (from autoexec.bat i ran the code above). this combined with a reg entry on *.* files will do the job

i've got the same hack but have problems with sp2, yours is sp2 compatible? can you explain what steps did you followed? you can use ezshare as @Astalavista said or if you have problems pm me

@XtremeMaC, go to "C:\Documents and Settings\...\Local Settings\Application Data\NFS Underground 2\ProfileName" my profilename is simon so i need to hexedit the file "C:\Documents and Settings\...\Local Settings\Application Data\NFS Underground 2\SiMoN\SiMoN". there i should search for an hex value containing "2862" that is "0B2E" and modify it. i haven't tested it but it has to work because i can't see any other possible file...

@Mr.J!M wrong code, winnt32.exe is ALWAYS on the %CDROM%\i386\ dir. correct code *should* look like... @echo off cmdow @ /HID FOR %%d IN (c: d: e: f: g: h: i: j: k: l: m: n: o: p: q: r: s: t: u: v: w: x: y: z:) DO IF EXIST %%d\CD.TXT SET CDROM=%%d SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Recovery Console" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons /unattend" Warning! this is untested!

it's not necessary to start coding... you can just grab and hex editor (i preffer hex workshop), then browse through the save games looking for an hex value that contains your money for example 2648=0A58 and modify it. i've done this on many games and always worked sucessfully other question is... is it moral??

tweakui powertoy....

@RyanVM no , when i replace a system (protected) file i see no prompts and it does not ask me for the windows cd. it appears to take care only of some .cat files (the files cached). @MCT, msgina.dll (only resources 20140, 20141, 20142, 20143 and 20150) and shell32.dll (only resources 14351, 14353, 14354, 14355 and 14356). there you can edit that window, switch user and turn off windows.

many thanks guys @edmoncu sorry for the wait @codeblue, i've never used MMC so i can't provide a working setup.iss and about the CC, well i used it for a while but i found a background process that took too much resources so i simply replaced it with the CP but hey good news! probably they use the same type of installation as new ati setups so... just follow the steps for the control panel and /K switch *should* work

i would get 1 if you can pay me for it

Introduction This installation "traditionally" caused many headaches and many of you have asked about it. This will help you to install the catalyst drivers, ATI control panel and an interesting tool for overclockers (radclocker). Just follow this simple steps... Step 1 Start creating the folder ATI\ and inside it the folders CP\ (Control Panel), Drivers\ (Catalyst) and RadClocker\ so it will look like... Now download the ATI catalyst drivers from here, and do the same with the control panel. Finally download radclocker.Step 2 Extract the catalyst drivers installer; you can do it using winrar or running the installer and checking the ATI\ folder on the root of your drive. There you will find the 2KXP_INF\ folder, that is the main drivers dir. Copy the content of that folder to ATI\Drivers\. Then modify your unattended "winnt.sif" file, point the drivers dirs... OemPnPDriversPath="ATI\Drivers" ...and to ensure they're installed add this to the same file... DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy = Ignore Extract the catalyst control panel from the installer; again you can use winrar or run the setup to place all the files into ATI\CP\. Now once on that dir edit the 2 files named like *_XP.reg and modify the values... "EnableIcon"="0" "NoAtipta"="1" "RegistrationOnLine"="OFF"This will prevent the taskbar icon to load (if you want to preserve it just don't modify the .reg file). Now RadClocker, latest version uses another type of installation (older versions used .msi installers). Run the setup and go to your temp folder to find a random strings .msi file so copy it to ATI\RadClocker\ and reaname it to RadClocker.msi for example. Step 3 Now you can select between pack it on a RAR SFX or place the ATI\ dir on the $OEM$\$1. If you use the RAR way use this comment ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Path=%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ Silent=1 Overwrite=1 and place this code on winnt.sif... DetachedProgram=cmd.exe Arguments="/C START %systemdrive%\detached.cmd" ...and for $OEM$\$1\detached.cmd... @echo off FOR %%d IN (c: d: e: f: g: h: i: j: k: l: m: n: o: p: q: r: s: t: u: v: w: x: y: z:) DO IF EXIST %%d\$OEM$\$1\detached.cmd SET CDROM=%%d start /wait %CDROM%Software\ATIRARSFX.exe EXIT Step 4 Almost done, now drivers will be installed and we need to call CP\ and RadClocker\ setups. Simply place this on RunOnceEx IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Catalyst Control Panel" /f IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ATI\CP\Setup.exe /K" /f IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\056 /VE /D "RadClocker" /f IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\056 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ATI\RadClocker\RadClocker.msi /qn" /f Finally done, now drivers will be installed and if they are detected the control panel and radclocker will be run. Note: The new ATI installers use the /K switch for silent installations, if you're using an older version or that switch is not working, you'll need to use the installshield method and call the installation this way... REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ATI\CP\Setup.exe /S -f1\"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ATI\CP\setup.iss\" -f2\"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ATICP.log\"" /f ...and for your pleasure the setup.iss file... Note: Modify the path if you like.That's all, good luck!

@ZileXa this is exactly what i do, a silent rar sfx archive, but to ensure it works with no displays i add the /S switch as seen in "2.4.-Building the default profile self-extracting archive" and "2.5.-RunOnceEx and files directories" steps in my guide i used the %APPDATA% string... why? because in my language that folder looks like %DEFAULTUSERPROFILE%\Datos de programa\ and in other localized versions will look different. we run it at runonce because that variable is stablished at this point and we ca use it to prevent those issues @spachtler i thought about that too but... the autoit script is language dependant and not silent (you can see the file copy process and how you click the buttons), also you (generally) need to block the input in orther to prevent the user stop the process by mistake. not everyone knows how to compile and au3 script and not everyone want to did it. i found the replace installer/edit config.ini method quick and clean. as you can see people, i tried to create a universal installation: language and path independant edit: first post edited. now easier method

i forgot it ok let's see if i have enough time this late night

first question for me is... a GAME??

LoL

about the language, maybe http://babelfish.altavista.com/ can help

what about universal switch finder?

i want to test if they add support to some of my hardware and none of those virtual pcs can emulate an installation in a sata drive and the ati card

i didn't missed that but you missed...

no it's only that i need to burn 7 isos and i didn't have enough cds till yesterday i still really want to take a look at the ximian desktop 2 (i love that interface)
