Apparently, they have decided to make Mechcommander, Mechcommander Gold, & Mechcommader II free for downloading...

MechCommader Downloads

Problem is bandwidth.... so if you can mirror it... I am sure folks would appreciate it....

I've got about 30 mins... I'll try to get MC2 while I'm fixing lunch and everyone that wants it from there can just let me know. I'd be happy to burn it and send it out.

If ya'll guys would do that for me....well, I'm on dial-up, so, long story short, I'd appreciate it.

The zip d/l for MC Gold gave me an error.

"The server returned extended information."

I got you covered also Tool. Just let me know where to send the disk.

Is this an RTS type game? One wonders why this could not happen to SFC.

762_XC · « **Reply #8 on:** September 03, 2006, 09:09:19 pm »

Not really. It's a lance or company level tactical combat game with battlemechs.

Lepton · « **Reply #9 on:** September 03, 2006, 09:11:33 pm »

Cool, not a fan of RTS games.

Lepton · « **Reply #10 on:** September 03, 2006, 11:23:16 pm »

The website says you will still need to no-cd patch. Where can one get that?

Lepton · « **Reply #11 on:** September 03, 2006, 11:33:54 pm »

Or you can build it from scratch(?) it seems.

May I offer you a copy Lepton?

Sirgod · « **Reply #13 on:** September 04, 2006, 11:16:01 am »

Guys, The weather turned Kinda cloudy, so outside of Mech Commander 2, It might be wendsday for me to get out MC gold to you all.

Stephen

Lepton · « **Reply #14 on:** September 04, 2006, 01:19:04 pm »

Zip file for MechCommander2 and Gold no longer seems to be available on that site. Maybe it was pulled down due to high demand. I am going to search for the file on bittorent to see if it has popped up there.

J. Carney · « **Reply #15 on:** September 04, 2006, 03:03:18 pm »

All I got was MC2 bofore they shut it down.

Sirgod · « **Reply #16 on:** September 04, 2006, 03:08:44 pm »

Same here, Been trying to find Gold for 762.

Stephen

Capt_Bearslayer_XC · « **Reply #17 on:** September 04, 2006, 04:32:45 pm »

Oops... communications breakdown...

I am more concerned about MC2 than Gold....

I got MC....

762_XC · « **Reply #18 on:** September 04, 2006, 04:49:36 pm »

I wasn't too crazy about 2. The interface was nice but I don't like finding a certain weapon and then having an unlimited supply of them.

Capt_Bearslayer_XC · « **Reply #19 on:** September 04, 2006, 04:51:43 pm »

Ok... I'll take both if they are available....

Lepton · « **Reply #20 on:** September 04, 2006, 10:56:52 pm »

MechCommander seems to be available now. I am not that terribly interested, but it seem obtainable now.

Lieutenant_Q · « **Reply #21 on:** September 05, 2006, 12:28:39 am »

AFAIK - the files are still there, they just limit it to 20 downloads atta time. I've gotten MC and MCG, not sure if I want to get 2, beacuse I am naturally wary of No-CD cracks...

How large a file is MCG?

I keep getting that File Not Found message.

Lieutenant_Q · « **Reply #23 on:** September 05, 2006, 01:50:48 am »

just under 600 MB

J. Carney · « **Reply #24 on:** September 05, 2006, 02:02:16 am »

too bad we can't get someone around here to host it.

KBF MalaK · « **Reply #25 on:** September 05, 2006, 05:50:12 am »

I think it's odd that Microsoft is giving away something for free.

And where do I sign up for the class action lawsuit against microsoft demanding the 50 bucks (each) I paid for these games when they first came out ???

They have done it at times and not always for anti competive reasons. They have even open sourced at least one game. Admitedly there are restriction on that game but it is freely available.

Lepton · « **Reply #27 on:** September 05, 2006, 10:01:43 pm »

The site now has a forums with technical assistance, etc. I think they also intend to place the files in bittorent form in the near future.

J. Carney · « **Reply #28 on:** September 05, 2006, 11:20:52 pm »

Just got MCG... they are back up now.

Sirgod · « **Reply #29 on:** September 06, 2006, 12:13:25 pm »

J. Carney, IF your still offering, The guys might take you up on that.

LAst night, while Trying to burn an ISO of MC2, my DVD burner went Whiiiiiizzzz poot.

IT'll be about a week or two before I can get into town and buy a new one. Of course IF they don't mind waiting, It's just I thought you might be able to help them faster.

Stephen

J. Carney · « **Reply #30 on:** September 06, 2006, 12:35:48 pm »

Alright, I got La'ra.

Who else wants?

Will try to ship by Friday.

762_XC · « **Reply #31 on:** September 07, 2006, 09:29:12 am »

Still can't get it.

If anybody wants to email me the .rar files I can upload them to XenoCorp FTP.

Dracho · « **Reply #33 on:** September 07, 2006, 11:59:52 am »

You might be able to upload the file here, then 762 can move it.. I'd do it but on satellite my upload speed is FAR worse than D/L

J. Carney · « **Reply #34 on:** September 07, 2006, 01:23:57 pm »

Whatsay 762... can I get an upload link?

Dracho · « **Reply #35 on:** September 07, 2006, 01:32:43 pm »

From the main page, Downloads and Library Upload should do it. It accepts .rar files. Then just tell him the file name.

You might try Daemon Tools, it is a CD Rom (and DVD) emulator. It lets you run an ISO as if it is an actual CD/DVD. It should allow you to run the game and install even without getting the new burner. No need to wait the week to play the game.

Sirgod · « **Reply #40 on:** September 08, 2006, 08:59:49 am »

I thought you were burning a disk to install from and that would have avoided the wait. So much for my good deed of the day

I use daemon tools to avoid the CD hunt when I want to play a game that requires the CD in the drive to run.

Sirgod · « **Reply #42 on:** September 08, 2006, 11:09:46 am »

LOL, Hey your heart is in the right place. I use Daemon tools alot myself, as It saves tremendous wear and tear on Discs.

The only Program I've ever seen have a problem with it, Is Starforce. It activly looks to see if you have A piracy enabling software, and I guess Daemon fits the bill.

While updating the Free Software list I was just on the Daemon tools site and found the following that might help.

Quote

STARFORCE:

Starforce © Protection Technology Co.

DAEMON Tools is able to support this protection 100%.

For information on how this protection works, please see the Securom protection; ProtectCD is very similar.

You will have to create your image with one of these programs though:

* Alcohol 120%
* BlindWrite
* GameJack 2

You may need to update your Daemon tools and use one of those 3 programs to make the ISO for Starforce protected games.

J. Carney · « **Reply #45 on:** September 10, 2006, 11:40:42 am »

Alright, guys:

I've tried to upload the file, but for some reason it won't take. I'm gonna send 762 a CD with it Monday, and he's gonna host MCG for download on the Dyna.

Stephen, if you have MC2 and a crack for it, could you do the same?

Sirgod · « **Reply #46 on:** September 11, 2006, 10:14:32 am »

I sure can. It should not be a problem.
