Actually, he should just get a job with a gaming company and write a new
version!

Can you stop working in Bloodlines and try making NWN2 campaigns and
stuff? They'd probably rock

Fine, just remove your scarf and Werner will oblige


Thanks again Werner for turning a sow's ear into a silk purse and
putting VTM:B amongst the action classics such as Deus Ex (1), System
Shock 2, HL1.

Werner, Fool said a couple of weeks ago about the unofficial
community made noCD patch available in gamecopyworld gave
him screen corruption in the games start menu.
Obviously he said that to again try and give those noCD patches
a bad name and scare everyone from using them cause they hurt
STEAM and the STEAM propaganda.
Nevertheless I want to hear from you and confirm that noCD
patch available in gamecopyworld works FLAWLESSLY and Fool is
in fact LYING to help his Master Valve.

And amongst the RPG classics, such as the Gothics...

A true action-rpg hybrid game.

Not true. A scientist stuck his finger into a mama shark's uterus (or
whatever their baby shark maker is called) and got bit by an unborn
infant. Would have taken a while to eat him but they would have if they
could have. I think they even recorded it as an official shark attack.

Why was the scientist fingering a shark?

Interesting...
How does that mini-ISO work?
Does it work flawlessly?
What other PC Games have you used with it?

You're willing to talk to me; that's good.

Basically the mini-ISO is simply a regular ISO image of the first CD,
but only contains a basic file structure (the files themselves contain
no data) and the sectors of the disc which are used during the CD check
when you run the game. It's called a mini-ISO because since the files
are empty, the filesize of the image is fairly small, but it contains
just enough to allow the CD check to pass.

The idea is to mount the ISO using a program like Alcohol 120% or Daemon
Tools, and when the game in question runs (in this case Vampire
Bloodlines), it will see the image as the CD it needs to check, it will
pass it, and the game will run. By doing this you can use the official
..EXE the game uses instead of a crack which may or may not work. It is
flawless provided Bloodlines is patched to 1.2, which interestingly
enough removes the disc-emulator check the original build had (and which
would've prevented Alcohol/DT from working at the same time).

I've also used a mini-ISO for Halo, and that worked well too. I needed
it because the no-CD patches stopped even though newer game patches came
out, and since I was still playing multiplayer at the time, I didn't
like the disc-swapping. Don't know if many other games still allow this
anymore.
