well from everything i have recieved so far, the .exe and .dll are packed and protected.. i can't disassemble them without the entire original game installed.. which sucks.

at any rate, we are looking into this, but it's not looking good for the non - steam versions at this point..

why do the devs DO THIS?

best,
Cal

That is Act Control I would guess, it's kinda like Star-Force 5 or Tages 5 (Which you've probably heard quite a bit about.) so I would assume it's part of how they integrated the copy protection with the game by protecting the core files.

Also makes the game very hard to crack or rather very time consuming to reverse as I've understood it although I imagine when a modified exe is available you could use that to access the data easier though who knows how long that could take or if a trainer from such would still be compatible with the original unmodified data, I wouldn't know since my knowledge about these things are quite limited.
(It's not the ideal situation either.)

Well, currently I'm trying my hand a bit at modding the game to get some cheating done :P

EDIT: Without any real success so far.
It's easy to unpack those SPK files (winrar does it). But I have no idea how to properly re-pack them, or how to get the game to ignore the SPK file and go straight for the extracted ones (deleting the SPK files doesn't work).

So no chance for a Gamersgate/retail version trainer?

This game so far seems impossible to cheat at.
Can't use Cheat-Engine on it successfully, can't mod it, no retail/digital trainers

Any chance to add a "Add Trade Points" option? Trade points are the game's currency.

By the way, nice work on the trainer, working flawlessly on the Steam version!

Unfortunately not on the digital/retail one

Thanks for the Trainer

nice trainer, thx for the great work!
