Out of curiosity,how much do we know of BTCOD modding?I few years ago(I think 5 years passed..) I did try to mod it out and something did work,since there was a website on which someone wrote on how to modify the game,yet I long lost that link.

All I managed to find was CoRE tool,which kinda helped me to unpack the whole stuff,but since everything is in Spanish and its kinda...confusing,how to give a spy a german Gestapo uniform from the start,etc.

So,you say that BTCOD isn't that modable?And that the only way is to have BEL?...

[herbert3000]

Of course it's possible to modify BTCOD but it's hard to insert new enemies without the exact coordinates.

Wyel's porting also works with the demo version of BEL.

I was able to obtain some 'debug' information from BTCOD using cheat engine:


Here's the same map in BEL:

As you can see the values match.

All I'm looking for is giving a Gestapo uniform to the spy(from the start,in the second mission,for example.).Just...this.That's it.

I'm not thinking at adding new enemies...the game is enough hard already xD

So it's in Spanish...NICE!

How to give a spy a german Gestapo uniform from the start

Backup the files ESPIAA.ANM and ESPIAA.WAD from the folder DATOS\RECURSOS\ELEM.
Replace them with the files from this zip archive:  ESPIA_GESTAPO.zip   109.56KB   273 downloads
Open DATOS\MISIONES\MAPA0005.MIS with an editor.
Change the values behind .EMPIEZADISFRAZADO and .INSIGNIA from 0 to 1.

Save the file and start the second mission.

Note: When the spy blew his cover, he can't put on the Gestapo uniform again.

Thanks.

BTW,are there any other Commandos BTCOD modding communities?As far as I noticed the community is smaller than 5-10 people.
