■ Release Notes ■
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PROPER:
The rest of the NFO file, after this PROPER note, is the same as our
previous release.
Here is what we have so far:
11-20-2005 Star.Defender.2.v1.26.ALL.ACCESS.CHEAT.PROPER.READ.NFO-PiZZA
11-18-2005 Star_Defender_II_v1.26_Unlocker-TNT
To PIZZA: we suggest that you make a Group Request for your Unlocker to
be nuked, after you read this.
PIZZA was under the impression that the TNT unlocker was not done
correctly, resulting in messed up values for the Lives/GunPower/Missiles
that are given when jumping to a Mission using the TNT unlocker.
Unless we confused PIZZA's claims, the real situation is this.
Completing an entire mission entails defeating all the Waves of enemies
and the final End-Boss monster. Upon mission completion & after the next
mission begins, if you exit to the Main Menu, the game will save your
progress. It records your Lives, Gun Power Level, and the # of the
Missiles you have left. It saves these stats separately for every
mission that you completed and each mission gets its own unique stats.
When you reply a mission that you had already completed aka UNLOCKED, you
will start off with all of those saved stats listed above.
That is the natural way this game's "save/unlock/replay" system works.
What PIZZA did was create a saved game that starts you off at each of the
9 game missions with the following stats:
3 Lives, Gun Power Level 1 (the weakest one), 10 Heavy Missiles, and 0
Heat-Seeker Missiles.
TNT assume that PIZZA did that because it seemed like you are supposed
to start off with those exact stats above, when you replay a previously
completed mission. Meaning that its not fair to start off with lots of
Missiles and power, since that would make the game too easy.
However, if you played through the game on your own, you would probably
have much better saved stats for each mission than what PIZZA is giving
you. Try playing Mission #9 when you start off with Gun Power Level 1.
Good luck killing anything.
There are 2 methods to creating unlocked save games also known as
"all access cheats".
1. Play through the whole game on your own to get a saved game created,
which will have all of the content unlocked.
2. Create a Hacked saved game file, whereby you alter the initial data to
forcibly unlock the content.
If you are very skilled with hacking, you can something even get a 100%
byte-for-byte duplicate of what the "Naturally Played Savefile" would
be. Other people just patch random data and hope it works. Either
method seems to be accepted in the scene. All the end-user wants is to
get at the locked content, even if the saved file not 'perfectly' done.
For this game, every person that plays through the game naturally will
get a different saved game file. It will contain all of their stats
stored at the start of each game mission.
TNT created a hacked save file. We had to choose some values for those
stats. We chose the values listed below. PIZZA chose to make every
mission start out with the stats from Mission #1. Which is bad for all
of the higher Missions #2-9, because you start with the lowest stats
possible.
In conclusion, we say our unlocker was properly done and that there was
nothing wrong with it. Without an Unlocker, play a few missions for
yourself, quit the game, then go and re-play your unlocked missions. See
how you start each mission with the specific stats you had upon
completing the previous mission? Compare that to the PIZZA unlocker and
you will see that our release was done correctly.
Yet, we are glad to see PIZZA still looking out for quality in the
scene. It is a rare thing to see. Spending the time and effort to find
a problem with another group's release(s) and then making a working one
is ultimately best for the end-users, regardless of one group's hurt
feelings. However, in this case, PIZZA's release was not better nor
proper, but was in fact worse.
PIZZA unlocker:
userdata.dat = bad savefile where all missions start with Mission #1's
default stats (not a PROPER)
pizza.dat = DUPE of the TNT unlocker with similar altered starting
stats, even though the PIZZA numbers are much higher,
ie: 9999 Missiles (we limited our numbers to keep from
making the game too easy)
Final Note to PIZZA:
So our 6-month updates on games dox is not a "scene standard" ?
Well neither is your policy of "the first unlocker wins and no one else
can ever make an unlocker for any future version of the game (unless
the previous unlocker no longer works on a new version)". Since when
is that a rule? There never were any agreed upon 'rules' for such dox
things other than the scene's widely embraced 14-day minor update dupe
rule. Should we all search for the v1.0 Unlocker from 1999 when v5.92
is out in 2005? Good luck to you...
Ultimately, our new 6-month rule for dox is best for the end-users and
for the scene members who have difficulty finding a 2-year old dox to
use on a brand new 1-week old version of the game. We even considered
doing 14-day dox updates to match the "MU rule", but that seems a
little excessive for "dox that few people care about".
How many 0day groups have ever been making dox at one time?
2? 3? maybe 4 maximum? When have they ever set any 'rules' ?
-END PROPER
NOTE: A new game version is released, after more than 6 months since the
previous unlocker. Thus, we make a new unlocker.
A SavedGame giving you access to all of the areas of the game.
Unlocks:
All 9 Missions
Grants you 42 Lives, Power Level 12 on the Primary Weapon, 420 Heavy
Missiles, & 420 Heat-Seeker Missiles for the last 8 Missions
·-=≡=-────────────────────────────────╪────────────────────────────────-=≡=-·
■ Installation ■
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. UnZIP all archives to a temporary directory.
2. Always make a backup copy of your game file(s) first:
UserData.dat
3. UnRAR the archive to your game directory, overwriting any existing files.
Always unRAR with full paths!
4. Play.
Mission #1 will start with the default # of Lives, Missiles, & Gun Power.
You will start on Level #1 of each Mission.
However, for Missions #2 through #9, we gave you lots of lives and the
maximum power of 12 for the Main Gun. Use the keys '1' and '2' on your
keyboard to switch between Missile types.
Taking a hit will cost you 1 Power Level of the Main Gun.

■ TNT News ■
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0day Unlockers, CheatCodes, & Trainers:
Seeing as how many users do NOT have 0day/ access older than 6 months, we are
going to start releasing Unlockers/CheatCodes/Trainers (which we will refer
to by using the term '0day-dox') for updated versions of 0day game releases.
The oddity about this is that even if older 0day-dox still work perfectly on
the new game versions, we will still put out a new set of 0day-dox
specifically tagged for the new game version. The new 0day-dox will also be
tested to make sure they work properly for a new game version, even if they
are 100% the same files as a previous version's dox.
Some people will consider these releases to be "dupes". However, similar
releasing styles are permitted for other 0day programs in the scene.
Consider the 'including_keygen' or 'keygen.only' releases. Usually, groups
will wait for 2 weeks to comply with the accepted "MU Rule" and then dump a
new version of an app even though the PREVIOUS keygens works perfectly on the
new version.
Should this also be considered a dupe? Hell, some groups even include the
same exact keygen EXE as in their previous release because the protection has
not changed between versions.
Do you ever see GROUP1 putting out new CRACKED versions of a specific app
every 14 days like clockwork? And then, find that GROUP2 dumps a KEYGEN.ONLY
for that same version every 14 days, again like clockwork? Maybe you check
the keygen executables and find the files are byte for byte the same as the
previous KEYGEN.ONLY releases they did (or maybe just version number updates
for the window Title Messages).
You see the pattern I'm sure. This is acceptable behaviour in the scene???
Yes it is. And so new 0day-dox for NEW VERSIONS of games should also be
acceptable.
When a user grabs a game and then wants a 0day-dox for it, but the only ones
available are from like 2 years ago, or even *5 years ago* for an older
version, they may be screwed unless they have access to a big (and COMPLETE)
0day archive. Or they may be cautious since they do not even know if the
older 0day-dox will still work on the new version they just downloaded.
Thus, your friends at TNT will release new 0day-dox for updated games from
this date forward on a "6 month Minor Update rule" so as not to flood the
hell out of the scene. This means that we will wait until 6 months (calendar
time) from the PRE date of the previous 0day-dox. By 'calendar time', an
example is that 6 months after January 02 2005 will be July 02 2005. Six
months, not 180 days, to avoid archaic calculations. After that time, we
will wait AGAIN for a new version of the game (we will NOT use new game
versions that came out during the 6 month waiting period). When a brand new
game version is PRE-released after the 6 months of waiting, we will release
new 0day-dox for it as needed.
If you do not approve of our updated 0day-dox, then nuke as you see fit. We
always list in our NFO files if something changed with the game that
unconditionally required a new 0day-dox, such as new levels being added or
changes made to the savegame data format. This way, trigger-happy nukers can
have an easier time if they disapprove of our "dupes". For a while however,
we will also be reporting if an older 0day-dox is 100% the same as the new
one. Eventually though, we will switch to just dumping new 0day-dox without
even taking a look at previous ones.
TNT will not release new 0day-dox for those small-sized patches/updates of
ISO Game Rips, which require the complete original Game Rips. This message
really only applies to Shareware style 0day games, which are released under
new versions as fully self-contained games.
To other groups of the albeit tiny 0day-dox scene:
If you think this is a good idea, please let us know. You can surely find
us, even though we hide in the shadows. muhahaha!
The 0day scene is the only place where we will be releasing the 6-month MU
updates. The iso-dox scene will not see updated dox by us, unless a patch
has altered savegame file formats or added new unlockable content.

We are the REAL original TNT. Any other groups who have tried to front as
TNT over the years were just imposters.
TNT knows that you all love the original SFV data in our NFO files.
Too many "new" sites, using cookie-cutter scripts and that god-awful
zipscript-c (aka project-zs), ruin all the nice SFV files in the scene!

TNT works in all languages.
We seek like-minded individuals who are able to provide or create software in
any language for release into the scene.
Like most 'respectable' groups, TNT is non-profit.
We release for the challenge of reverse engineering, the excitement of the
race to win against other groups, and the spirit of fair competition.
Positions are open for the following.
Crackers : Experienced programmers and debuggers with assembly language
knowledge who can produce Cracks, such as NoCDs & the removal of
commercial protections, for games and applications.
Coders : Experienced programmers who can produce KeyMakers, Game Trainers,
or SavedGame file editors. (Assembly or C language is required)
Game Ripper: Create ripped versions of full games. Rips retain game
functionality while having non-essential data (such as movies or
music) stripped out. People, especially those on slower dial-up
connections, can try out a game rip before deciding to buy the
full version.
Scanning : Printed Box Art, CDs, & Manuals for new games and applications.
FileHacker : Create All Access Enabled (Unlocked) SavedGames.
Modify game data files to enable Cheated Stats.
Scan game executables to locate Cheat Codes (no web thieves).
Suppliers : Provide retail versions of new unreleased software, either games
or applications.
Siteops : 10mbit or faster sites on linux/unix with at least 100gigs space.
Preference is for sites with sections of 0day, iso, dox, pda,
or console exclusively.
Before contacting us, please consider that Movie/Video or MP3
sections are not desirable to us. Big movie/mp3 sites that have
iso, 0day, or dox as an afterthought are not for TNT. Sorry.
What TNT does not need:
Couriers, Pre Whores, Site/Bot Scripters, Thieves, Group Hoppers, Leechers,
Narqs, Narcs, nor undercover agents.

Those who seek TNT will find a way to get in touch with us.
Just ask around for the #1 Dox group.
TNT has no email address, nor a web site. Any you find are surely fake.
