Change RoM process name

[rantottmacska]

Hi,
Anyone can tell me how can i change the Runes of Magic process name in process list (in task manager)? Is there any way to do this?
(Yes, I searched in google but found nothing, just stupid extended explorers.)

It's quite simple copy the Client.exe and rename the copy to whatever you want.

That don't works, i tried.. :S When i started the Client2.exe, in the taskmanager just shows the Client.exe... Any other idea?

C++ and other scripts can do this.
You must find an user, who can make a script for you.

this just works for wow, etc.
you it would work, if "client update" wouldn't load the same.
it works a bit like this:
client --> client update --> client
client 2 --> client update --> client

so i think you need just some changes in the copied .exes

thanks the answers, I found this problem in a tutorial, just solved it. I think, mod can close this.

Yeah forget to say that must call the new executable with the "NoCheckVersion" parameter.

Or open up IDE or some debugger and kill the jump to the update, with IDE you can find pretty easy just search "NoCheckVersion" and scroll down a few lines there are 3 jumps which have influence on the update call.

Have fun. and this time its 120% working (doing it over serveral patches/months)

btw there are at least 2 other ways to do so
