Jedi Knight II & Jedi Academy NoCD/Fixed Exe's

[eVc]

Jedi Knight 2 & Jedi Academy Multiplayer NoCD/Fixed Exe's..

They all miss an important factor and therefore should be nuked.

The multiplayer binarys (jamp.exe/jk2mp.exe) contain a custom protection which checks its data at runtime and computes a 4byte checksum. The game compares it to the original checksum. If the checksum is incorrect the client will recieve a CL_ParsePacketEntity() error midgame (based on a random timer).

I have checked all the NoCD/Fixed exe's on GameCopyWorld for both games and none of them circumvent the protection.

Heres some proof of the protection:

Heres a list of the releases on GCW that dont bypass the protection in jedi knight 2/jedi academy multiplayer..

* Jedi Academy v1.01 MP [ENGLISH] No-CD/Fixed EXE
* Jedi Academy v1.0 MP [FRENCH] No-CD/Fixed EXE
* Jedi Academy v1.0 [ALL] No-CD Patch
* Jedi Knight 2 v1.04 [ENGLISH] No-CD/Fixed Update

The rest appear to be single player fixes with loaders for multiplayer so im assuming they work providing they dont patch the memory before the CRC is done.

Great work! I tried to run these 2 games on Vista the other day, and I couldn't get them started. Now with these proper EXE's I had no problems running the games.

Perhaps you want to go check every crack on GCW? And then tell admin which are not working etc?

Its not that easy a request

[Muyfa666]

I read it as if he wants the GCW team to remove the incorrect exe's for Jedi Knight and Jedi Academy. I may of course be wrong thou.

Look below his piccy

[Grumpy]

The way I read it he is only referring to Jedi Knight and Jedi Academy cracks to be removed and replaced with his working ones.

Not ALL of them Dab lol

Indeed, sorry for any misunderstanding. Im refering to the multiplayer nocd/fixed exe's for jedi knight 2 and jedi academy games only.
I edited the main post to be more specific.
