- HOW TO CRACK TOM CLANCY'S RAINBOW SIX 1.04 : STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL !!!
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- German version: killing C-DILLA protection, CD-check and enabling BLOOD !!!
- English version: killing CD-check
-

- Things you will need:
-
- Rainbow Six CD (I use 1.03 ger, but any other will do it too)
- Rainbow Six Update to 1.02 english or any other addon with an english exe
- Rainbow Six Update to 1.04 english
- Rainbow Six Update to 1.04 german
- Win32DASM
- HEX-Editor (Hedit, Ultraedit, or others)
- Windows Commander (recommended)
-
-
- Well, lets start:
-
- (If this tutor is to awful to read it is because of my poor english but I can
- also write in German if ya want to. But I thought all people should have the
- chance to understand it - at least the main ideas !!!)
- First of all I got this nice game called Rainbow Six from a friend of mine.
- But it had a bug in it. Every time it starts up it wants to have the RB6-CD
- in drive! I decided I have to do something against it.
- The german version is C-DILLA protected so you can not crack it (I can not,
- if anyone out there can do the job please mail me!!). There is a crack from
- Pedro [Laxity] that enables you playing with a burned copy of the game.
- But that is not what I wanted to have. I want to run the game entirely from
- harddisk. The English version has no such copy protection. WHO CAN TELL ME
- WHY? Are they afraid of us? I have seen lots of German and European games
- that were protected much better than English ones with SECUROM for example.
- Perhapse they forget the protection in their updates I thought, cos I saw one
- to update ALL versions of RB6 to 1.04. So I downloaded and tested it. Shit!
- does not do its job on my german ver. Perhapse an English executable could
- work with my german ver? No, it does not - different versions (1.02 & 1.03).
- I had only one chance left: update both versions to 1.04 and then exchange
- the RainbowSix.exe. By the way, the 1.02 exe english is needed for the 1.04
- patch-update! TADA, it works!
- All we have left is the CD check from the English version.
-
-
- Cracking RainbowSix.exe v1.04 English:
-
- For quick solution:
- Make a FULL installation and no crack is needed. You can delete the data\video
- dir if you want. If you do this you have to hit esc twice on startup cos
- proggy virtually plays the video files! or you could use my SMK dummy files.
- that was it.
-
- If you want to learn something about cracking:
- Make a standard install.
- Upgrade to v1.04. Copy RainbowSix.exe from the english 1.04 ver to your RB6
- dir and overwrite german vesion exe. Delete RainbowSix.ICD and Clockspl.EXE
- - they are for C-DILLA (so we won`t need them anymore).
- Start RB6. Hmm, error box popped up showing 'Bitte legen Sie die Rainbow
- Six-CD in Laufwerk'. Rembember that message !!!
- So open RainbowSix.exe in Windows Commander to take a closer look at it.
- Search for the error message. Hmm, not found - must be somewhere else.
- If you look at your RB6 dir you will notice several .TXT files containing
- text strings. Conclusion: error message is also in a .txt file.
- ==> search for a file *.TXT containing 'Bitte legen Sie'.
- found at data\text\interface\german\DialogueCD.txt
- So lets look where the exe calls the msg-txt.
- Copy RainbowSix.exe to RainbowSix.W32 (as backup).
- Open RainbowSix.w32 in W32DASM. This could take a while! (25min on my PII)
- Search for 'DialogueCD.TXT'
- You should see the following
- :0040AFBD 90 nop
- :0040AFBE 90 nop
- :0040AFBF 90 nop
-
- * Referenced by a CALL at Address:
- |:0040A193 <-- reference to this check
- | routine
- :0040AFC0 55 push ebp
- :0040AFC1 8BEC mov ebp, esp
- .. ..
- .. ..
- :0040B0A0 8D4DD4 lea ecx, dword ptr [ebp-2C]
- :0040B0A3 50 push eax
- :0040B0A4 E8D7A00100 call 00425180
-
- * Possible StringData Ref from Data Obj ->"dialogueCD.txt" <-- our MESSAGE
- |
- :0040B0A9 68C0858900 push 008985C0
- :0040B0AE 8D4DA0 lea ecx, dword ptr [ebp-60]
- :0040B0B1 E81AA60100 call 004256D0
- :0040B0B6 8D4DA0 lea ecx, dword ptr [ebp-60]
- :0040B0B9 C645FC07 mov [ebp-04], 07
-
- So lets trace the call on 0040A193 back (Goto - Goto Code Location - 0040A193)
-
- :0040A18D 84C0 test al, al
- :0040A18F 740F je 0040A1A0
- :0040A191 8BCE mov ecx, esi
- :0040A193 E8280E0000 call 0040AFC0
- :0040A198 84C0 test al, al
- :0040A19A 0F8452030000 je 0040A4F2
-
- * Referenced by a (U)nconditional or (C)onditional Jump at Address:
- |:0040A18F(C)
-
- Hmm, after the call a value is returned in AL. If check is bad then AL=0 and
- then goodbye!
- In case we don`t want this call to be executed we can NOP it (set No OPeration
- on it), but we have so set AL=1 to continue as if nothing has happened.
- Get the offset of the call at 0040A193 (it is displayed in the bottom line,
- call must be highlighted) and start your hex edit.
- Load RainbowSix.EXE and goto 9593h in this case.
- Replace E8 28 0E 00 00
- with 90 90 90 B0 01 90=NOP B0 01 = Set AL register=1
- save it and it`s done !!!
-
- Now you can delete the data\video dir if you want. If you do this you have to
- hit esc twice on startup cos proggy virtually plays the video files! or you
- could use my SMK dummy files.
- that was all. Now start RB6 and play it. Hmm, someting seems to be different.
- Hey these guys are bleeding, kewl !!
- You enabled BLOOD in the GERMAN HD version !! (this is because Enlish ver
- always runs with blood)
-
- End of my first tutorial, hope you liked it
