Digital version of original Flagship game?

[thorvaaldr]

I own a hardcopy. I'd happily pay ten or fifteen bucks for a way to own a legitimate digital copy of the original game. I don't even have an optical drive.

Is there any vaguely legit way to do that? Or is the answer either an optical drive, or, "acquire" a version of the files online somewhere?

I don't want to play this Hanbitsoft mess.

That is good to know. (Thank you!)

Which class has that problem?

Guardian, Blademaster and Evoker for me is too difficult

That's half of the classes!

But is this because of the absence of raycasting? (I am trying to understand if or how this addon makes them hard to play. I am also trying to figure out if I want to buy a fresh copy of this game to replace the original copy which I lost.)

The patch-long-ray-vm command has a few side effects to be aware of:

Collision detection for ranged attacks will be non-functional, allowing both you and certain enemy types to attack through some types of terrain.

I would buy an addon digital drive, plugged in through a USB port. Big problem is getting it installed, as I don't recall the windows version it was for, window XP or maybe 98. I think you have to use compatibility mode with it if you can get it to work Windows 7 was the last good windows, I now have 10, and it is not friendly at all. good luck.

ADDED: I found my old copies and installed on Win 10. It takes a god awful long time to install, and lookls like it locked up, don't dispare, leave it for a while (I think I left it for about 30 minutes), and when I came back there was a windos app windo telling me to download some .net file, which I let it doe, then the install was done. I ran the SP 1.2 mod, and then started it up, created a character and playe dthrough Russell Square, now good to go, copied over some of my old save files, and checked out a couple, all good. Wham you are now playing old Hellgate London, and no you don't have to keep the game disk in. If you want to know the differences between the origianl and the mod installed, try playing original, then mod 0.6, then 1.2. There are some differences, but I forgot to try that, so I got the mod 1.2 game. Two things it is a shame about, they never got to implement the color idea for the armor (look at the lefdt hand square in you character screen, IDed as dye IIRC, and to bad, but the Hanibeitsoft version lets you hide the helmet, which I like, original does not.

IF you have the cd key that you paid for you can download it any time you want from anywhere as long as your not burning copies and selling the dvds. When someone tries to say your being illegal show them your cd key

I was able to snag a good used copy from Amazon. Runs perfectly on Win 10, and doesn't suck (unlike the mess of a game on Steam).
