Here the link to the site where my friend found it at.

The "Installer provided by Ra7en" version is, very likely, the first version I had of this game! I only bought the official version later, when I had fallen in love with the game and decided that it warranted an official purchase (I still maintain this 'ethics', or lack of them, with audio cds).

Back in the days, I had this friend (he still is!) who was into downloading, burning .ISOs etc. and he convinced me this game was cool. So, he installed it for me. A third mate joined in. We played at some server called DPIOS (Dutch People in Outer Space) run by a guy with the nick Tanaka (or was it Takana? Or Katana?).

I learned my first steps of modding in this time, and in hindsight I feel bad because I lost contact with Tanaka, and never could apologize for the fact that I crashed the server a few times because of modifications, which were also cheating, technically.

My mates and I took residence at Freeport 6 in Tau-29. It took me a while to figure how to locally add a shipdealer, with the virtual room thing. Because, Katana had made some very cool ship available, but only at the other place of the know universe, and I wanted it before we had to make the dangerous journey through Outcast and Corsair terri Nowadays it feels asshole-ish, but back then I was amazed that it worked, after about three times or so (and every time that it didn't work caused a global server crash

Still, those were the days my friends, those were the days.

Maybe, providing the exe files plus the DLLs files containing text and also files for audio dialogs can do the job.

The french community is almost dead since Sirius Hegemonia was shut down in 2012-2013 but if anyone interested by this, it could be useful.
