I refuse to use STEAM.
Thanks Cusith!
So summarize, the DIY approach is:
Download innounp.exe from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/innounp/?source=dlp and put it into the same directory as the uninstalled game from the Larian Vault is.
Open "cmd" and change to that directory.
Type: innounp -v DragonCommander.exe > a.txt
Get
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.4.3.html , open a.txt with it. Now you have to remove a fixed portion of text left of each filename (typically beginning with {app}).
To do this, use "block select" (hold SHIFT+ALT and move around cursor or push PAGE-DOWN) and finally push DEL to remove that whole block of text.
Also, the first and last few lines should be removed. Our target is that this is a file containing only filenames.
When finished, the file starts with the line
{app}\Shipping\FxStudioRT.dll
and ends with the line
install_script.iss
Additionally, you must remove these 3 lines from the middle:
{app}\Data\Localization\English\Video\CombatMoveAround.bik
{app}\Data\Localization\English\Video\CombatOnBuildingSelected.bik
{app}\Data\Localization\English\Video\CombatOnCloseToCapturePoint.bik
Type: innounp -x -dUnpacked DragonCommander.exe @a.txt
The extracted game is now in the subdirectory Unpacked\{app}
Just execute {app}\Shipping\DCApp.exe
I've read something about surprise for pirates.. I bet we Larian Vault users who do the above will run full throttle into that
For the record, I too selected "Larian Vault" because I want to save Larian Studios the cut from GOG.
BTW, anyone upload the 3 files to rapidshare? LOL.
