No idea. I would probably draw inspiration from the game Trapped Dead. Last time I checked, it resembled the later Commandos games a bit.

Interesting, recently checked that game and it really has a good concept idea of gameplay, but i think cannot be adapted to commandos in the same way, what im doing is add a simple zombie invasion atmosphere to commandos missions...

[Salvadorc17]

Zombies in commandos looks weird, i think will not the best idea....

Some previews of the map changes:


I actually really like the rain effect. It looks good and gives the map a special unique touch. Also I think that the detail changes in the other maps are for good too. By now I feel like most of them are pretty much finished in a final kind of way. I've got a new map in the works too, but I am not sure when and if it will see the light of the day as well... really depends on my motivation in the future. In any case I wouldn't bet on it anytime soon.

Oh, and I've also worked a little bit on the installer while I had the time, made it more pretty and stuff...

good job!

Something's not right. BCD mission pack works. BCD Mission Pack v1.1, v2.149, does not work. Both installer misiones.dat 0 bits and msvcr100.dll error. Thanks for the work.

[Lexx2k]

See of your WAR_MP.dir file has been extracted. If not, then something went wrong with the installation. Also, did you point the installer to the correct game path?

I finished all missions and I must say I enjoyed a lot, great work! 

 

I only found 2 problems. In the bonus mission with natacha I didnt find the train driver. I killed every soldiers without alarm and then could not finish the mission.

 

And also in the mission with sapper, green beret and spy. I destroyed the big cannon and the building but when I escape in the car the mission fail because I didnt complet the objetives.

[Lexx2k]

The train conductor is walking around near the building in the center. Every once in a while he moves into the house and will stay there for a while before coming out again. If you activate the alarm, he will walk into the house and stay there forever (I can't change this, it's hardcodet in the engine). I might change the mission objective in the next patch, so I won't have to deal with this problem anymore.

Can you show me screenshots of where you placed the explosives in the Karl Gerät mission? It might be a problem related to the explode radius- depending on where you place the explosives it *could* influence if the objective is marked as completed or not.

[Salvadorc17]

Glad to see youre making fixes, but you will add new missionss?

[extrano1955]

[Lexx2k]

Yes, that's way too far on the left of the ammunition depot. Put it more close to the front area (close to the door) or on the rooftop, that should trigger the objective in any case. Now that also shows me that the mission objective is a bit badly worded too. I'll see how I can fix this in the future.


By the way, that screenshot isn't from the latest version (2.149). You should try that one, as it fixes quite a huge amount of stuff in all maps.

[extrano1955]

Ok, I think these is the problem, maybe I downloaded an old version. Thanks for the help and continue creating more missions.

[mimi89]

Thanks for the game. If I delete Ddraw.dll, msvcr100.dll, msvcr100.dll works. 

We are waiting for new missions.

[Lexx2k]

Accidentally shredded my hdd, which resulted in many, many lost files. I've lost all my source files among other stuff, and the result is, that I am not going to make new missions anytime soon. :>

Don't know when / if I am going to work on it again, as I've pretty much lost a huge amount of time to the nothingness now.

Sorry to hear/read that. Your mod is very good and I enjoyed playing it.

 

I would like to say about the bonus mission that I found the problem with the "train conductor": there's not a "LEXX_CONDUCTOR.MAC" file in the "DATOS\MISIONES\" folder so it never appears on the map.

 

I fixed it copying the "GUARDA.MAC" and renaming it to "LEXX_CONDUCTOR.MAC", then I changed the line ".TIP GUAR" for ".TIP LX09".

 

I hope it helps

[Lexx2k]

Thanks for pointing this out for me. It's just a single missing file and I couldn't see it on my installation.... I've put together a small Hotfix and uploaded it here: http://www.advexx.de...ndos/Hotfix.rar

It's a bit strange to suddenly get a bit attention again. For months I've heard nothing about any Commandos stuff. :>

Sorry again, issue should be fixed now. If not, please tell me and I'll look into it again. It just sucks a bit, because I have to setup my working pipeline again, which includes getting back all my files / working directories that got send to the abyss in the further above mentioned incident of file loss...

[Mike_HDF]

Thank you for the fix.

 

I was replaying the game recently and searched for mods so I found yours. I'm late on the scene, I suppose  .

 

At least your mod works great and the only problem was the missing macro, with Playing BEL on BCD I'm spending a lot more time fixing the missions than playing (I like coding too, so I'm having fun anyway,... well, when it works  ).

 

(Sorry if my english is bad)

It's a bit strange to suddenly get a bit attention again. For months I've heard nothing about any Commandos stuff.

Because people who lose files generally lose interest as well. But not in your case I understand. Good luck getting your files back.
