When this program first came out, it was a pain in the butt. Or, maybe I was just too newb myself eh?

Anyway, this is a common trend lately - if I wait long enough the program authors come out with a new version that is actually easier to "free".

No links, just search in Yahoo or Google.

-----------------------------------------------
Firstly, just updated - Program name: Quick3D

Nice program you can use to view and convert between 3d model file formats. Still a bug in DirectX format in my opinion (texture coords are upside down).

The author finally allows you to download pro version, and it actually saves files. (changes filename to "shareware_output.xxx".

So newb, your mission is to defeat first two nag screens (and closing nag screen), and also remove the savefile renaming. This mission is very easy, in my opinion.

Hints: File is not packed, don't need anything more than WinDasm

hi nikolatesla20

well this was indeed an easy target though a well choosen,
becouse the CALL's ( 5 ) wasn't right infront of your eyes. needed to do some "backtracing"... i liked that!
as the task was just to get rid of nags and get around the namechanging at save... so i just nop'd out the calls.

i don't list the calls here. if there is someone else trying this softw.
anyway is there a "lesson two" ????

Good job !

Yes, it's amazing how simple it is, everything can be bypassed by nop'ing some calls. Actually, I nop'ed very little. just edited the function instead with a RET just in case I would ever miss a call

By the way, you might also want to "edit" your string resources when you are done too hehe.

Um, ya the "second" lesson was a mistake, I had listed "Beam Screensaver" , but now I notice in version 1.72 they are using Armadillo, and that is definitely not a newb protection.
