Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 v1.003 to v1.004 Update (c) Westwood

Cracker............: DVN TEAM     │ Protection..........: Read below
Release Date.......: 2001-21-02   │ # of Disks..........: 1x2.88

Protection: CD-Checks/ReRoute/RTP/Check for changes in data files.

As always, we bring you the most bitchey to crack patches, this is
another one of them :)

Note: MYTH release of this update (nice job guys!) will work with almost
every version of the game (except v1.01 and fixed cls's game.exe) though
it's 8 disks big. Use this version (which is only 1 disk vs. myht's 8
disks generic update) If, and only if you have already downloaded (and
installed) our v1.003 update. The ones of you whom have v1.0 (original cls
rip) should download the MYTH release. * THIS RELEASE IS NOT A DUPE! *

Notes

1. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST HAVE OUR PREVIOUS PATCH (v1.003) INSTALLED,
ELSE THIS PATCH WON'T WORK AND MIGHT SCREW UP YOUR RED ALERT 2
INSTALLATION SO YOU WOULD NEED TO RE INSTALL IT! USE THIS PATCH ONLY IF
YOU HAVE THE v1.003 UPDATE BY DIVINE APPLIED! (Now we'll see how many
people are actually reading .nfo files!)

2. Please make sure that you have 350MB of temp free space to apply this
patch (those 350MB will be used only when you apply this patch).

3. It's impossible to log on Westwood Online because it's a server side
check for a cd key number, so all Westwood Online changes and bug fixes
are not relevant for you unless you have a valid cd key number (as you
might already know from games like: Quake 3, StarCraft, HalfLife, Tiberian
Sun etc.).

4. We have a reason to believe that the trainers for previous versions of
RA2 won't work any more, because as you might already know from your past
experience from update patches and their compatibility with other
version's trainers, that's what happening. This happens because the memory
addresses that the game uses to "count" (money etc.) are changing from an
executable to another in most of the cases. So if the update patch updates
an .exe file, it's most likely that a trainer for the previous versions
won't work any more. So if you're a cheater, we would sugguest you to wait
for an updated trainer :)

Changes/Fixes

- RA2 now allows you to play "Free for All" in Skirmish mode. Now the AI
can attack each other and not just the player.
- Hotkeys and Interface changes added
- Observer Mode: RA2 now has an Observer Mode that allows 1 player to
watch other player's games. Particularly useful for Korean television
shows and tournaments.
- There is a new checkbox at the top of the bunkers that players can
check to observe games.
- Dreadnaughts can now break bridges with missiles.
- Now players can destroy a unit flying over an Iron Curtained building.
- If the player has a Cloning Vat, an Engineer, 2 infantry units, and a
Tech Hospital he will no longer get a complimentary unit out of his
Cloning Vat for every unit healed.
- The edges of the Radar Screen are now visible.
- Enabled the Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander(TM) to work
properly. The Westwood endorsed configuration is also included.
- The Desolator will no longer continue to shoot the ground over and over
and keep building up radiation.
- Parts of buildings will no longer disappear on occasion.
- Structures no longer flash a frame of animation during placement.
- Fixed the "Place Structure Anywhere" cheat.
- Super Weapon tab flashes when ready.
- Crazy Ivan and Tanya bombs now work on all bridges.
- Fixed a Terror Drone + Unpacking MCV problem that made games never end.

Installation

Extract to your RA2 directory (Again, make sure that you have our v1.003
patch installed before applying this one!), run patch.exe and when it's
done you may run the game as usual :)

Note: a file named "ptch1004.dvn" will be created after applying this
update. Please don't delete it as we'll use with the next 1.004 -> 1.xxx
update verify that you have our previous update installed.

P.S: Be sure to check our great intro (divine.exe).

General Comments

Yet again another RTP crap, yet again we're doing it in a divine style!

In addition, we would like to welcome a new member to the Divine crew,
welcome pal. We hope that you will enjoy of what you are doing as much as
we do, as it's all about fun, not fame these days! :)

Finally, we're sorry that this .nfo is so long, we just wanted to explain
why many games won't work online and why Westwood Online changes and bug
fixes are not relevant for non legit owners (many people won't understand
it by themselves), why trainers for previous game versions won't work with
the updates (again, some people can't understand that too), to check how
many people are actually reading .nfo files :) and our position about
avault and their trainer stealing crap.

Special thanks to the BAFH team for making such a great intro for us!

Special greetings and respect are going to the hard working people in DAMN
(Ivanopulo, Recca and Twilight) for their endless efforts to keygen the
hardest to break programs.. Keep up the excellent work guys!

A special note to some lame web site and it's jackass admins:

A warm FUCK YOU is going out to the lame web site, www.avault.com for
stealing and repacking our trainers, you want to post our trainers? fine!
just give us some fucking credit and don't remove the fucking .nfo and
.diz! a little goddamn respect is too much to ask for? include the goddamn
original pack, or don't post them at all!. Is including a big "AVAULT
SUCKS" logo into our trainers the only way to stop your lameness?
(consider this as a final warning before we really start doing it).
Goddamnit, can't you understand that it's a personal insult to the trainer
coders? we don't ask for nothing except respect (credit), nothing else!
ohh, and don't give us that lame excuse that it's illegal for you to post
the .nfo/.diz files, because we simply don't give a fuck! that's the
condition of posting our trainers ... learn to respect the wishes of
*free* software (in case you don't know, trainers are software as well)
authors! what should we do, add a disclaimer huh? ... so start posting the
goddamn original packs or don't post them at all dammit! you have crossed
the line already! We're sure, that the other groups agree with us on this
one!
