  • How to play SMAX without CD

    Okay, I've tried this numerous times, but can't figure out how to get it to work. Perhaps I am using the wrong program, doing it the wrong way...

    PLEASE HELP!!

      What's the No-CD crack? I've used unsafedisc, safedisc annihilator, but maybe I'm not using them right. Perhaps that's the problem. Or maybe I have the wrong programs...

          I'd appreciate that. I've already ruined my game 4 times and had to reinstall everything four times, and on top of it all, the ICD files open with Civ 3 Conquests Scenario Editor, however that works out. No, really. Very wierd. I can't actually open it, but the program that tries to is the Conquest editor...

              Ah, obstructor, apparently Tripod or whatever the guy's name is says the download isn't, well, downloadable. Help here. Are there any other places to get this?

                    I hate Tripod, it won't let me download anything.

                      Anybody know how to do this for Civ 3 conquests? Not just ordinary civ 3, but the Conquests as well?

                        Best to ask in their forum.
                        I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                            Careful, as

                            1. the mods of the forum tend not to like no-cd links being posted around... after all they are unofficial

                            2. No-CD hacks tend to be .exe files that have been altered and you need to replace the original .exe with. Sometimes this can cause crashes and off bugs in the game.

                            If at all possible, get a copy of the CD-burning software Alcohol 120%. It can be used to make an exact copy of a CD you have like the AC one and mount it as a virtual drive on your computer. That way if you play SMAC, the CD-check finds the virtual drive on your hard disk and thinks it's the actual CD. It means you can play without lugging CDs around with you and risking damage.

                            I have about 5 virtual CDs ATM - Civ2, Civ3 Conquests, Civ3 PTW, SMAX and UFO: Aftermath. Takes up a CD's worth of disk space each time, but that's not so bad.
                            Consul.

                              Guys, I know you're great, helpful and stuff, but I'd like you to remove links to CD cracks, and not post them. This is not the first time I've seen such stuff posted in this forum... and, after all, the forum rules strictly prohibit posting of cracks and such things publically.

                              So please remove those links, so that no action has to be taken.

                              Oh, and Commy, if you start making posts in Civ 3 forums or elsewhere asking for hacks, you'll be banned. Òóò íå Ðîññèÿ.
