Running Creatures3 / Docked Docking Station without a
CD.
(Option 2 works with *all* creatures games*)
For a tutorial on backing everything up and restoring perfectly
without a cd,
go back a page and choose the right thing! lol
Note: If you are using this to
run C3 on multiple computers , you are in breach of the terms
of the EULA, you have 1 license for 1 machine. No more. So behave
goddamit. :p
Aaaanayway, this tutorial was inspired by an Albia2000 forum thread.. Nini
broke her cd :(
But all is not lost, you have 3 options, as
follows:
Option 1: DS
only
You don't need a CD to run DS alone.
Option 2: C3 only
or DS docked
Download the DevThing from this site, it has a No-CD patch for
both games.
Option 3: C3 only
or DS docked (works on all versions,
updated, or not)
Creating a dummy CD:
For the CD method you must download this
file here.
It contains empty versions of the key files on the C3 CD.
Creatures checks if they are present, and decides if the disk
is in the drive. Faaantastic.
If you have a CD writer:
Use your favourite burning software and pop the .iso file onto
a disk, so the CD has 3 or four directories on it, like D:\intro\ .
Umm. that's it.
If you don't have a CD writer:
Panic! Then, like.. stop panicing...
Download Daemon Tools, or Alchohol120% [http://www.oldversion.com]
Unzip the file above, and 'Mount' it, as a new virtual CD drive.
A new CDrom icon will appear in My Computer, with the fake C3 CD
inserted.
Just remember... Stay legal. Please.
