How to run Dark Forces WITHOUT a CD:
- Make a full installation from the Dark Forces CD to your harddisk (takes
up app.68 MB). Then copy the file called "CD.ID" from the Dark Forces CD
to the root directory of your harddisk (or bootdisk). Take out the original
Dark Forces CD from the CD-drive and start the game. The program will not
be able to find the Dark Forces CD and will ask about the correct drive
letter. Enter the letter of your harddisk (or bootdisk) where you copied
the file "CD.ID". That's all. Now the game will run without needing a CD
at all.
- It is also possible to install the game without the cutscenes (not much of
a loss IMHO :) ). Then the game will only use app.35 MegaByte on your
harddisk and will run just as smoothly.
- Please note that it will only be possible to change the game/sound/joystick
setup with the SETUP.EXE in your DF directory if you are using a bootdisk or
re-edit the file "DRIVE.CD" back to your CD-Rom drive.
- Installing Dark Forces for the first time may automatically create the file
"DRIVE.CD" in your Dark Forces directory (e.g. "C:\DARK"). This usually
happens when your CD-Rom has a letter other than "D". In this case you may
edit the file "DRIVE.CD" from your CD-ROM drive (usually "D") to the letter
for your hard disk (e.g. "C" instead of "D"). If using a bootdisk, you can
also change it to an "A". The file "DRIVE.CD" is an 1 byte file, consisting
of one letter only.
- New or modified Dark Forces levels created with a DF editor do run
perfectly with this harddisk installation. Just copy the new/modified
levels into the Dark Forces directory of your harddisk (e.g. C:\DARK).
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please note that the above mentioned method should only be used if you do
own a Dark Forces CD yourself. Not only that it is highly illegal to pirate
copy software, the guys at Lucas Arts shouldn't be cheated out on this game
Great publishers like Lucas Arts should be supported with buying their
software or we may never see Rebel Assault 2!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(One of the reasons I installed the game on my harddisk with this method is
that I could play other music CD's - like Star Trek soundtracks ;) - while
fighting the dark forces of the empire.)
