Default No CD mod/patch

Anybody know if there has been a 'no cd patch' made, like where you don't need the disk to play? Thanks

If you do a full install then no CD is needed to play SC.

You'll need the latest official patch (1.08) to make it no-CD.

One of many links to the patch: http://downloads.gamezone.com/demos/d8389.htm

Ahoi!

In case anyone - like me - finds this old thread, trying to play his oldfashioned 688(i) cd-version without disk in drive: There's a workaround that gets it on WinXP, at least. Don't know if it works with a steam version or even on Win7 anyhow. Friend at Seawolves gave it to me long time ago.

So here's just the quote of the .txt-file I found on an old backup (be sure to backup your registry first, of course):

Quote:
- Install game with Full install option setting.

- Copy contents of the \DATABASE and \MOVIES directories from the CD to your 688 game directory on your
hard drive ("C:\Janes\688(I) Hunter-Killer\Database" and "C:\Janes\688(I) Hunter-Killer\Movies")

- Edit the registry: START > RUN > type REGEDIT > OK

================================================== =========================

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Jane's Combat Simulations\688I Hunter-Killer\1.0]

booksInstallPath="books"
cdInstallPath="C:\Janes\688(I) Hunter-Killer" <-- MODIFY THIS ENTRY TO THE DIR LISTED BELOW IN "rootInstallPath'
graphicsInstallPath="graphics"
midiInstallPath="midi"
objectsInstallPath="objects"
rootInstallPath="C:\Janes\688(I) Hunter-Killer"
sfxInstallPath="sfx\sfx.agg+"

================================================== =========================
Fair seas & good hunting,
Jonesey <s>
