Can anyone help me with mission 2? I can't find the green berret anywhere, plus don't know which are the tanks to be blown.

 

Thanks all

Is this mod completed?

I have a problem when installing this mod. I have BEL that i can play without CD. After installing this mod it keeps asking for CD...

Any help, maybe i have not the latest download?

[ERVI]

I have the steam version so I can't help, it works perfectly

[ERVI]

Now i was able to extract it but each dvf files contain so much sprites!!! Need to reconvert it to wad files????

 

 

By the way, night mission for commandos looks very interesting:

Did you extract and rename the WARGAME.DIR archive? That's the only thing I can think of right now.

I Extracted the WARGAME.DIR. But i did not rename it... I have no clue why it is not working :(

That might be problem. As long as WARGAME.DIR is present, the game reads the files from there. If you rename the archive, the game reads the extracted files - or in this case, the modded files.

Will these missions be available for Destination Paris too? That would be awesome!

[Salvadorc17]

That night mission was just and idea, but i dont think this mod have playable status to be added for Destination Paris...

[SirRH]

Was wondering if this could also be done with Robin Hood Legend of Sherwood maps considering that it's by same developer as desperados

edit DATOS\MISIONES\MISIONES.DAT with a text editor
change (or add the line at the top)

Thank you very much! I have such good memories about both Commandos and Desperados, hope you guys will be able to finish the mod. Keep it up!

[schwabbendebibap]

Oh, I'm sorry.

This should work:

Desperados_tools+trains.rar

 

Edit: Here's the ReadMe:

DesperadosTools_ReadMe.txt

 

Finally, after two years I hope you guys will answer. I'd like to simply upscale the .dvm images with these new upscaling tools, that would be just very cool. With your tools I can extract e.g. .dvm files, but after upscaling how do I get them back/compress them into .dvm again? Would be great if you have the tools to do so!

Hello everyone

 

I am also reversing the desperados files. Not for modding purposes per se, but for an general understanding of how Desperados works.

Currently I am disassembling with Ghidra. To my biggest surprise the steam linux version was shipped with some debug information.

This makes it so much easier, it's much more like reading ugly C source code.

For the modding purpose its now possible to just read functions like DVFastFindGrid::LoadLiftsFromFIle to understand how the bytes are read.

 

Hope that helps anybody.

OMG! How did I miss that post? That's fantastic news!

I guess I'll have to download the Linux version of the game then...at 22:58...who needs sleep anyway?
