monopoly_tyc Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I downloaded 39 .rar parts, all given the same folder name in the archive on all parts except the final part, 39. The 38 files before it have the same folder name and unrar fine but when it gets to part 39 it has an error because the 39th part has a different folder name! Just 3 letters at the end of the folder! I hope im making sense! When i open the 38 parts it says "folder name"When i open the 39th part, it says "folder name2"!! Everything other than the file name adds up and will 100% work if i can change the folder name of the last part!They all have the same file name iin all the parts but the last one fails because it has a different folder name and i cant figure out how to change it! I've looked everywhere and I cant find a way to do it! PLEASE help!! Anyone with any help would be VERY useful!Thanks in advance!Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phkninja Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) sorry ben, but from you screen shot i can tell its warez, so dont think you will get help from anyone(RS = Rapid Share) and most files that are hosted on rapidshare with 39 parts are warez (or porn ) Edited April 14, 2007 by phkninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I may be wrong, but it seems to me like you are coming here to get help on how to unpack a WAREZ release of a game (yes, the name can be read allright from your posted image)? I guess you won't stay on this board for a long time.....:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=184081. This is not a warez site!

albator Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 If it warez, why winrar is not registered ? I dont think the process itself is illegal, why should we care about the content ? Whys shoud we envade privacy of users ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 (edited) If it warez, why winrar is not registered ?Hmmm, evil is not always ALL on one side , why wouldn't it be possible that one uses a (legal) trial version of a program to access illegal content?On the other hand, one "in the trade" wouldn't surely need help unraring an archive, won't he?I dont think the process itself is illegal, why should we care about the content ? Whys shoud we envade privacy of users ?Let's say that if you have a close look at the (supposedly obfuscated) picture posted, you can understand with a bit of immagination that the title is relative to a very known game (suffice to say that involves car driving).A quick google search (with the right keyword) will show you that on the net there are links to a WAREZ released version of that particular title, that casually has been divided into 39 .rar's of which the last one has the exact name that you can see from the posted picture.If you search a bit more, you will even find some posts of people that weren't able to extract last part, due to the different name.So the original request is basically help for CRACKING an archive containing WAREZ, whether the activity is legal or not, particularly in the country where monopoly_tyc resides, might be a topic of discussion, but definitely it appears to be against the rules of the board.And noone is invading other's privacy, I only examined what monopoly_tyc submitted, by his own will, in a public board.jaclaz Edited April 15, 2007 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monopoly_tyc Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 hello and thankyou for the replys, i must apologise as i have only recently discovered as to your replys that the files (my sons) are illegal downloads from "warez" websites, and i also realise quite obviously that rs stands for rapidshare, a german file hosting website that i use for most of my files. It has only struck me just now that not a single person other than Albator (thank you and im not someone to carry out illegal activities myself which is why winrar is not registered legally or illegaly) have actually read my question rather than trying to outsmart me. I just came to this forum hoping someone could shed some light on my problem, and im yet to find any part of changing a folder name in an unregistered version of winrar and illegal process, though yes, i understand the files he has downloaded are illegal and im insisting on him buying the game, test drive unlimited. I again apologise for his actions. Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monopoly_tyc Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 I realise im taking risks in speaking of this in the forum though, i obtained 38 of the links from megaupload, and the 39th (as megauploads entry was corrupt (crc error)) was from rapidshare, i have checked all links and they are in working order, just the hiccup of the folder name which i was hoping to get help but i guess people were more interested in putting the handcuffs on than showing they had any IT skill... lol Ben - Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phkninja Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 (edited) we are not trying to "put the hand-cuff's" on as you stae, we are trrying to not get banned. Rule 1 of the forum rulesThis is not a warez site! Links/Requests to warez and/or illegal material (porn, cracks, serials, etc..) will not be tolerated. Discussion of circumventing WGA/activation/timebombs/keygens or any other illegal activity will also not be tolerated.although what you request is not illegal, it is information on how to deal with a problem in winrar, it could be seen that by providing the answer we are in fact helping you do somethin illegal.The answer you seek is also very complex, as far as i am aware you cannot simply change the folder name (to do with how the file is stored in the archive). But there may be a solution to your problem, if the mods ensure us we can help you.Not trying to stop you inany way, nor pointthe finger, just trying to cover our own backs.

jaclaz Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 ...and I may add that there would have been NO reason whatsoever to post a screenshot with the name of the file (badly) overwritten if everithing was supposedly "kosher" in the mind of the poster.......there is an old Latin say:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exempli_gratia#Eexcusatio non petita accusatio manifesta "an excuse that has not been sought is an obvious accusation" More loosely, "he who excuses himself, accuses himself"—an unprovoked excuse is a sign of guilt. In French, qui s'excuse, s'accuse.that appears to be really right for this case, the simple fact that monopoly_tyc tried to hide something means that he perfectly knew that what he was trying to do was, in a way or another, reproachable.And if you go to a locksmith asking him to open a door without providing a proof of some kind that you are entitled to open it, and he refuses to help you, usually you don't tell him "I see, too bad you haven't any locksmithing skills", mainly for TWO reasons:#1 it is VERY unpolite#2 the locksmith is holding a BIG hammer in his right hand ....even if noone is brandishing a hammer and monopoly_tyc is definitely out of reach , reason #1 still stands .jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monopoly_tyc Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 (edited) allright dont talk down to me, i understand perfectly what im doing and im not breaking into any establishment for which i would require a locksmith am i?! thanks for all the **help** but i discovered the remide a few hours before you decided to give me the latin lesson. Your a very helpful person jaclaz...thank you.... i just dont see why you bothered in following up phkninja's informative explanation and to him i express my thanks and apologies if you wanted to tell me something, just take phkninja's advice...and tell it Edited April 15, 2007 by monopoly_tyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[deXter] Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Simply put: you can't do it.RAR archives are verified with CRC32 checksums. If you try to externally modify a file in the RAR (say, using a hex editor), then the CRC value will differ and WinRAR will think the file is corrupt. Usually, you could use the "Repair archive" command which forces WinRAR recalculate a new CRC32 and allow you to extract the files, but since this is a multi-part archive, the RAR needs to have a matching set of CRC values to allow it to extract the whole set. Thus, WinRAR would still not be able to indentify the RAR with the rest of the set. You will still get a prompt you to locate the missing rar. To make the rar exactly identical to the original rar would involve rebuilding the header in such a way that the CRC would match the original file's CRC. This would require not only the complete header details of the of the original archive, but also a full knowledge and understanding of CRC and the multi-part RAR storage structure, plus plenty of experience in hex editing.Needless to say, it's not worth the time and effort to go into such intricate feilds, and no one would give you a readymade solution either.Your only option, thus, would be to resource the original archive.

monopoly_tyc Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 thanks!! really appreciate the help! i have the original file but little expertise in the way of CRC and HEX editing. I contemplate my only solution is to buy or find another set, which considering what i have heard from the others, is severely discouraged thanks everyone Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phkninja Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 you cant editthe original archive, but there are other methods like binary patching (not giving specifics just in case).The RAR archive saves the folder name and file name so its not possible to edit the existing archive, but you could generate a new archive with the correct folder name. (still no specifics)Sorry i have to leave some for your imagination but hard to know how much info i can provide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
