hacking AA is a crime

January 12, 2005 - Phil DeLuca, Executive Producer of America's Army posted on the official forums warning hackers to stay away from the US Army's online war game:
By the way, there's something to consider in that statement that gets missed time and again: we took notice. By we, I mean the entire AA team. That includes Public Applications, Government Applications, Ignited Minds, everyone associated with the development of the project - and the United States Army.
That last fact should give some of the bad guys pause, and yet it hasn't. Some of you (and clearly the bad guys are among them) don't always remember that this game, and all accounts and derivative products, are the property of the United States Army. When you tamper with the game, not only are you breaking the EULA you're misusing Army property - and, worse, you're misusing US Army computer programs and equipment.

Tampering with software and servers owned or used by the Army is cyber crime.

In the early 1940's, Japan learned an important lesson - "let the sleeping giant lie." We may not react swiftly, but when we do it's with unstoppable force. The Army has partners that deal with cyber crime as a matter of course. These include not just various Army IT departments, but also the Department of Justice, the Secret Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

It's going to get uncomfortable for some of the bad guys, but you know what? They brought it on themselves. Knowing this anyone who continues to be bad is just plain foolish. Keep trying, though. Sooner or later the bad guy will realize we've known about him for a while... and by then it's too late.

Allow me to speak directly to the bad guys for a moment: When you get banned, know that we know and have records showing you were doing something that's a violation of terms of service, breaks your EULA, and also happens to be against the law. We know who you are, and can track down where you play from. We have incontrovertible proof you did something illegal. The Army is angry, and we're coming for you.

Would that "hacking" pertain to me?

My reason for asking is I changed the music of the game to my own liking.

I suppose that wouldn't be hacking because its not actual hacking. Just setting a song on my computer to be a .ogg file and replacing the stock AA music files.

no hacking/cheating is considered when they modify the game to an advantage. I've heard that you can change the music to the game at the main menu, but i haven't tried.

Find a song you like (polka in my case :lol: makes good killin music) and convert it to .ogg format and make sure the names match the ones in the C:/Games/America's Army/Sound/Music folder. It's quite simple. All you need is one song duplicated in .ogg format with the names of the originals on them. Works perfectly fine no matter what length of the song.

These are the programs that I use.

Audacity for opening and editing .mp3 files.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

Plugin for Audacity to open, export, import, and save .mp3 format.
http://www.fortcomanche.net/lame-3.96.1.zip

Windows Media Player 11
http://www.fortcomanche.net/WMP11.exe

.ogg codec for WMP. (to listen to .ogg files)
http://www.fortcomanche.net/OGGCODEC.exe

.ogg exporter (to export .mp3, .wav files to .ogg)
http://www.fortcomanche.net/oggdropXPd.exe

It's great for what it was made for. Unfortunately, too many people try to use it for recording/splicing and other functions that are in the domain of multitrack (yes, I know the page says it can do that.... but that's not it's origin or strength). If that's what you're looking for, check out Ardour. Sorry folks, Linux and Mac ONLY (wow, it feels SO good to say that sometimes :D :D )

or there is always NUENDO by steinberg and DigitalPerformer is my fav right now for its handling of 5.1 surround sound.

Comes in handy at the church.
