Step one: Hack the Atari Mainframe (207.97.223.202)
Step two: Find the programming computer
Step three: Steal the DRIV3R C++ Source
Step four: Find the library levMiami (or something like that)
Step five: look for the variable goldcoast-doors (oslt) and find "closed". Change it to "open"
This is just my assuption. I have never hacked, stolen or found any variables in an anything.
for a start that's the ip address for a computers hosting their site, it's probably not in atari's possession, most likely hosted by a premium hoster.
secondly atari doesn't even have access to the source files, the developers do
thirdly the developers are most likely not networked to the internet as employees could send out secret data about the game, like un-authorized sending the game to us =D
thus making it impossible to hack into their computers.
You would have to be there on the fifth floor. (I think all that stuff is on the fifth floor of their big building)
I'm pretty sure you need to be employed their to get inside or pass some kind of security check before you enter and this would only be possible if you sign a contract to keep certain things secret.
If you want un-authorized access to these files you need to get onto the fifth floor, while no one else is there... so you don't get caught of course.
Once you in you have to turn on a few of their computers, these will probably be password protected so a copy of Hirens Boot CD will do just great and remove the password competly.
Then you'll need to go into My Network Places and find "SRV-ART".
and here is an interesting file you could edit
Z:\D4-Resources\Characters\NewYork\Models\Then\Peds\mercenaries\merc05_then.ml4
how about we go back and look for that driv3r folder, I'm sure we will find something, then we can recompile it and run the game, preferably from home as you have more chance getting caught staying their at reflections.
and then we can post some news onto Driver Madness saying someone got into Reflections Building and stole some files just to re-compile some files to gain access to certain parts of the game. The feds are searching but so far have found nobody... Huray....
This could all be avoided if Driv3r and Driver: Parallel Lines was easily modable.
