│ Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 v1.003 to v1.004 Update (c) Westwood │
├────────────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Cracker............: DVN TEAM │ Protection..........: Read below │
│ Release Date.......: 2001-21-02 │ # of Disks..........: 1x2.88 │
├────────────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ Protection: CD-Checks/ReRoute/RTP/Check for changes in data files. │
│ │
│ As always, we bring you the most bitchey to crack patches, this is │
│ another one of them
│
│ │
│ Note: MYTH release of this update (nice job guys!) will work with almost │
│ every version of the game (except v1.01 and fixed cls's game.exe) though │
│ it's 8 disks big. Use this version (which is only 1 disk vs. myht's 8 │
│ disks generic update) If, and only if you have already downloaded (and │
│ installed) our v1.003 update. The ones of you whom have v1.0 (original cls│
│ rip) should download the MYTH release. * THIS RELEASE IS NOT A DUPE! * │
│ │
│ │
│ Notes │
│ ~~~~~ │
│ 1. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST HAVE OUR PREVIOUS PATCH (v1.003) INSTALLED, │
│ ELSE THIS PATCH WON'T WORK AND MIGHT SCREW UP YOUR RED ALERT 2 │
│ INSTALLATION SO YOU WOULD NEED TO RE INSTALL IT! USE THIS PATCH ONLY IF │
│ YOU HAVE THE v1.003 UPDATE BY DIVINE APPLIED! (Now we'll see how many │
│ people are actually reading .nfo files!) │
│ │
│ 2. Please make sure that you have 350MB of temp free space to apply this │
│ patch (those 350MB will be used only when you apply this patch). │
│ │
│ 3. It's impossible to log on Westwood Online because it's a server side │
│ check for a cd key number, so all Westwood Online changes and bug fixes │
│ are not relevant for you unless you have a valid cd key number (as you │
│ might already know from games like: Quake 3, StarCraft, HalfLife, Tiberian│
│ Sun etc.). │
│ │
│ 4. We have a reason to believe that the trainers for previous versions of │
│ RA2 won't work any more, because as you might already know from your past │
│ experience from update patches and their compatibility with other │
│ version's trainers, that's what happening. This happens because the memory│
│ addresses that the game uses to "count" (money etc.) are changing from an │
│ executable to another in most of the cases. So if the update patch updates│
│ an .exe file, it's most likely that a trainer for the previous versions │
│ won't work any more. So if you're a cheater, we would sugguest you to wait│
│ for an updated trainer
│
│ │
│ Changes/Fixes │
│ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │
│ - RA2 now allows you to play "Free for All" in Skirmish mode. Now the AI │
│ can attack each other and not just the player. │
│ - Hotkeys and Interface changes added │
│ - Observer Mode: RA2 now has an Observer Mode that allows 1 player to │
│ watch other player's games. Particularly useful for Korean television │
│ shows and tournaments. │
│ - There is a new checkbox at the top of the bunkers that players can │
│ check to observe games. │
│ - Dreadnaughts can now break bridges with missiles. │
│ - Now players can destroy a unit flying over an Iron Curtained building. │
│ - If the player has a Cloning Vat, an Engineer, 2 infantry units, and a │
│ Tech Hospital he will no longer get a complimentary unit out of his │
│ Cloning Vat for every unit healed. │
│ - The edges of the Radar Screen are now visible. │
│ - Enabled the Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander(TM) to work │
│ properly. The Westwood endorsed configuration is also included. │
│ - The Desolator will no longer continue to shoot the ground over and over │
│ and keep building up radiation. │
│ - Parts of buildings will no longer disappear on occasion. │
│ - Structures no longer flash a frame of animation during placement. │
│ - Fixed the "Place Structure Anywhere" cheat. │
│ - Super Weapon tab flashes when ready. │
│ - Crazy Ivan and Tanya bombs now work on all bridges. │
│ - Fixed a Terror Drone + Unpacking MCV problem that made games never end. │
│ │

│ │
│ Installation │
│ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ │
│ Extract to your RA2 directory (Again, make sure that you have our v1.003 │
│ patch installed before applying this one!), run patch.exe and when it's │
│ done you may run the game as usual
│
│ │
│ Note: a file named "ptch1004.dvn" will be created after applying this │
│ update. Please don't delete it as we'll use with the next 1.004 -> 1.xxx │
│ update verify that you have our previous update installed. │
│ │
│ P.S: Be sure to check our great intro (divine.exe). │

│ General Comments │
│ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │
│ Yet again another RTP crap, yet again we're doing it in a divine style! │
│ │
│ In addition, we would like to welcome a new member to the Divine crew, │
│ welcome pal. We hope that you will enjoy of what you are doing as much as │
│ we do, as it's all about fun, not fame these days!
│
│ │
│ Finally, we're sorry that this .nfo is so long, we just wanted to explain │
│ why many games won't work online and why Westwood Online changes and bug │
│ fixes are not relevant for non legit owners (many people won't understand │
│ it by themselves), why trainers for previous game versions won't work with│
│ the updates (again, some people can't understand that too), to check how │
│ many people are actually reading .nfo files
and our position about │
│ avault and their trainer stealing crap. │
│ │
│ Special thanks to the BAFH team for making such a great intro for us! │
│ │
│ Special greetings and respect are going to the hard working people in DAMN│
│ (Ivanopulo, Recca and Twilight) for their endless efforts to keygen the │
│ hardest to break programs.. Keep up the excellent work guys! │
│ │
│ A special note to some lame web site and it's jackass admins: │
│ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │
│ A warm FUCK YOU is going out to the lame web site,
www.avault.com for │
│ stealing and repacking our trainers, you want to post our trainers? fine! │
│ just give us some fucking credit and don't remove the fucking .nfo and │
│ .diz! a little goddamn respect is too much to ask for? include the goddamn│
│ original pack, or don't post them at all!. Is including a big "AVAULT │
│ SUCKS" logo into our trainers the only way to stop your lameness? │
│ (consider this as a final warning before we really start doing it). │
│ Goddamnit, can't you understand that it's a personal insult to the trainer│
│ coders? we don't ask for nothing except respect (credit), nothing else! │
│ ohh, and don't give us that lame excuse that it's illegal for you to post │
│ the .nfo/.diz files, because we simply don't give a fuck! that's the │
│ condition of posting our trainers ... learn to respect the wishes of │
│ *free* software (in case you don't know, trainers are software as well) │
│ authors! what should we do, add a disclaimer huh? ... so start posting the│
│ goddamn original packs or don't post them at all dammit! you have crossed │
│ the line already! We're sure, that the other groups agree with us on this │
│ one! │
│ │
│ /Divine's trainer coders and the rest of the team. │
