So essentially, for the copy protection to be effective, you can only release your MOD on CD.
Actually, in most cases the crack is a replacement for an executable or dll which does the checking, which means that unless your protection is built into HL.exe itself, then you may have a problem with it. But, is it really worth making the file un-burnable (which itself can be defeated) or un-copyable when it's a free product and the risk from pirates is minimal. BTW, modified dates can be changed, and sometimes the OS will change it itself, the best way to check for modifications is with an MD3 hash check. But I'd like to hear more about your module. -Philip > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of > Vyacheslav Djura > Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 10:32 PM > To: Philip > > Hello Philip, > > I don't know what to do with downloading of mod...But with > copy protection you can make your mod working only on CD's > of magazines, which have got your permission. > > And there is also solution with downloading the mod.
