Direct2Drive versions of LucasArts games

Tallin · Post by **Tallin** » Tue Nov 11, 2014 5:54 pm

So, the Steam versions of the old LucasArts adventure games (Loom, The Dig, Indy games) are now supported, and I had hoped that would mean it would support the Direct2Drive version which were released at the same time (and should be largely the same). Is there something I'm missing? It doesn't seem possible to add these versions.

Where are these versions? I can't find anything in the direct2drive site... I tried searching for Loom, The Dig and the two Indiana Jones games.

So far as I can tell, they aren't for sale anymore. The site's gone through two owners since then. They were released at the same time as they were on Steam and I understood they should be the same rerelease. Only thing I can think is there is something from the Steam version it is looking for that isn't created in these versions.

Can you post a list of the game files you got, together with their size?

These are all actually nested within another directory, but that directory seems to only have the new executables, along with PDF manuals and uninstall files. I've tried merging them into one folder, but it made no difference.

At a first glance, these look to be the same as the Steam versions... however, I don't see any executables. The executables are needed to get the games working, as they contain the index files for each game

Here's the folder with the executable for Fate of Atlantis:

<DIR> ATLANTIS
6,845,366 Indy_Fate_Manual-English.pdf
21,711,626 Indy_Fate_Manual-French.pdf
1,809,049 Indy_Fate_Manual-German.pdf
8,592,171 Indy_Fate_Manual-Italian.pdf
4,173,232 Indy_Fate_Manual-Spanish.pdf
294,912 paul.dll
6,369,280 testapp.exe
1,754 Uninstall.dat
56,046 Uninstall.exe
9 File(s) 49,853,436 bytes

The data files are in the ATLANTIS folder within this folder. The other games are all essentially the same.

md5 · Post by **md5** » Thu Nov 20, 2014 10:02 am

Ah, the executable name is wrong - the Steam releases have two executables, one with the name of the game and the other named testapp.exe. The executables are, in almost all games, the same.

Will see what can be done with the executable.

md5 · Post by **md5** » Thu Nov 20, 2014 10:06 am

On second thought, sorry, the executable is way too big. Have they added some sort of protection to it?

In the Steam version of Atlantis, the executables are "testapp.exe" and "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.exe", both 638,976 bytes. The executable you got (testapp.exe) is about 10 times that size.

Tallin · Post by **Tallin** » Fri Nov 21, 2014 3:56 pm

Yes, the games require activation with their server before they can be played for the first time, which is probably where the size comes in.

md5 · Post by **md5** » Sun Nov 23, 2014 1:55 pm

In this case, the location of the index files will be totally different in these executable files. Try opening The Dig executable, and see if you can find the string "RNAM" (these are the first bytes of the index file). A bit further down, you should find the string "MAXS". If you can find these strings, then the index files can be read off the executables, but at a different location. Otherwise, there's not much we can do, I'm afraid.

In Steam the index files have the original "encryption" (XOR 0x69), so it's likely that searching for RNAM in the Direct2Drive versions won't give you anything.

The encryption scheme starts after the header, which is why I asked about the 'RNAM' string. I verified this before replying with the Dig, i.e. the "DIG.LA0" file in my CD version starts with the "RNAM" bytes, and "The Dig.exe" in my Steam version contains that file inside, which also starts with the "RNAM" bytes at offset 340632.

icanntspell · Post by **icanntspell** » Mon Nov 24, 2014 7:27 pm

You're right. The Dig is v7 and not encrypted. The others do use encryption (if you can call XOR an encryption method).

Tallin · Post by **Tallin** » Wed Nov 26, 2014 1:55 am

I found RNAM beginning at offset 53298 (Hex) of "The Dig". I couldn't find it in any of the other games. Which corresponds to the same decimal offset (340632) as the Steam version.
