I can't change characters (assuming you mean the text) because then it won't work in other language version of Commandos 2

The simple way is putting Eiffel tower image in the present version 

[sleepinsun]

i changed all the scripted briefing videos from the bel/bcd/c2/c3 missions to widescreen and combined nightingales mod with some of the new hd stuff of stangan.

I also made some custom loading screens, so everything missing from a perfect hd version for me, is a widescreen main menu ;o)

 

I could provide my stuff, but unfortunetly i made everything in german, because it's my native language.

Ah and i also reduced the overall difficulty by heavyly reducing all enemy FOV's and kicked out the DP custom missions, to create kind of a Commandos Trilogy Edition ;o)

@sleepinsun trouble with making menu high resolution is that the briefings/videos are all in 640x480, so whole mod would need rework to fit that xD

 

 

Yum that. Loving the not so hard on the eyes style, nailed it big, May I ask, where did u gather the character icons, gamefiles or from someplace else?

 

Other than shadows behind the pictures sticking out here and there (you can see, sniper has applied too much shadow), it's fine enough. These could be edited to tweak the effects looking equal. I could help ya, if you think it's worth the detail.

 

Do not listen to me, um, I am sort of born thinking perfectionist. It's in my head lol

 

@sleepinsun, right now your the most valuable person! You guys do wonders in such short notice.

Ok i've updated again, removed shadows from commandos, made background a little darker, and change the background of 1.43 text

 

And yes the commando icons are from the game files, they are in DATA/INTERFAZ/CARASSELECC.GRL

And here is 1280x720 version (requires nightingale exe, and resolution set to 1280x720 in var.dat)

 

 

(I used hex editor to remove the 1.42 version string from nightingales exe, so doesn't look out of place)

@Sleepinsun, you should still share your mod here, even if it is in German, sounds like a good idea

Hello guys!

 

I would like to thank you for the mod and for your endless effort. Although it is a bit hard sometimes even at easy 

 

I would like to ask if the team will update the mod with the full hd project as it would be great addition. Is there any work going on towards that?

Well there is 2 problem with doing this.

 

1. Everything designed for 640x480 in the mod would need to be redone for a higher resolution

2. People could have laptop or screen with lower than 1080p and they couldn't play if changed to this resolution.

 

Maybe worth it as a seperate add on but not sure about making it the main, though a 720p option or something would be nice without having to use widescreen mod.

Thanks for the answer.

 

what about only missions, without any videos or other stuff that were done 640x480. Is it somehow possible to apply that?

 

I thought that everyone is using a widescreen laptop or screen this days. It seems it is not the fact.

I played the Commandos BEL missions in Destination Paris to make it compatible with my commandos HD project mod. I saw that those missions are more pixelated with more zoom compared to the same created by Herbert3000 and loaded on CommandosHQ site. The same thing does not happen with the BCOD missions. Anyone know how to fix this problem of zoom? Anyone know how to scale the default zoom?

The scale was changed to 1.3 in DP because of the size difference of commandos/enemies between Commandos 1 and Commandos 2, for example in the screenshot of the old version with 1.0 scale, GB is as tall as a tree branch, and enemies look bigger than doors etc.

Why we named the new version 1.xx? Why don't use version 2.0, 3.0 or etc.?

Here its the link of my new mission:

[eldiel]

I think this mod is extremely hard, even at easy. I mean there are different ways and solutions to finish the level but mostly you need to throw bottle or cigarette, etc. and it is toooo time consuming. I love to play commandos, I really want to play all of missions but even at easy, I need to spend hours or even days to finish the mission and God knows how many quicksave and quickload I use. I believe that the mod should be easy at easy. at least not million soldiers (especially at commandos 2 missions). Sometimes people want to play game for fun, and not to spend endless time on it. The mod is really challenging. I hope there will be at least ''real easy'' or very easy for this mod.
