Hi,

The source code is available here

 

It even comes with a simple import script for Blender.

Have fun!


CSF PAK Creator

17 February 2024 - 05:18 PM

With this tool you can create PAK archives for Commandos Strike Force
Attached File  CSF PAK Creator v0.2.zip   3.79KB   26 downloads

There are two versions of the PAK file format, one compresses the contained files, the other one doesn't. So far I've only implemented the uncompressed version. But it looks like the game accepts any format.

How to use the PAK Creator:
Download and install the the latest version of Java (Java Runtime Environment).
Download and unzip the PAK Creator from my link above.
Backup the .pak file(s) you want to modify!
Extract the whole content of a .pak file using the CommDevToolkit, create a new folder for that. Move that folder to the same location where the PAK Creator.jar and .bat are located.
Edit the extracted resources.
Double-click the .bat file and enter the name of the folder, this will create a new .pak file. Copy that .pak file to the correct location inside the CSF folder.

 

Changelog:

v0.1 - initial version

v0.2 - fixed a bug in the encoding of the filenames which have special characters in it


CSF WAD Extractor (audio files)

09 December 2023 - 03:46 PM

Hi everyone,

here's a tool to extract the raw audio files from the *.wad files (inside the *.pak archives) as *.wav files:

Attached File  CSF WAD Converter v1.2.zip   7.92KB   53 downloads (requires Java)

 

Update: Now the tool can also repack WAV files into a WAD archive.

Please only use the new converter to extract the files, the old converter had a bug and inflated the exported files.

 

Some of the exported files will have the extension *.0.wav

It's a flag that the game needs to interpret the audio files correctly.

 

Many thanks to SOMYST for testing the new tool and helping me figuring out the correct values.


Does it have cheat codes?

30 October 2023 - 09:34 PM

On some sites it says "Press `~` and enter the codes -> e.g. fly, god". But this doesn't work on my machine.

Does anyone have a copy of the game where the cheat codes work? I'd be interested in the FLY mode.

 

GOD mode can be achieved if you edit Objetos.bdd and set .MODO_COLISION from 1 to 0 (I guess this removes the collision model from your player and the enemies can't hit you anymore).

The 3 playable characters are:

.NOMBRE "Commando"
.NOMBRE "Francotirador"
.NOMBRE "Espia"

 

 

 


CSFFBS Script Decoder

18 October 2023 - 07:48 PM

Hi everyone!

 

I've finished my work on a small tool that will allow us to convert all the compressed scripts from CSF into readable text files. This should make the game much more moddable.

 

Before you can convert the files, you'll have to unpack the *.pak archives.

Use the Commandos Developing Toolkit for that: https://github.com/I...s/cmdt/releases

 

Attached File  CSFFBS_Decoder.zip   7.09KB   67 downloads (v1.1)

Here's the binary script decoder.

Like most of my tools, this one also requires Java.

You can simply drag & drop the files you want to convert onto the *.bat file.

Or double-click the .bat and enter the filename.

 

Attached File  CSF PAK Creator v0.1.zip   3.73KB   64 downloads

Use my PAK Creator to put all the files back into a *.pak archive.
 

I've also uploaded the tools here: https://retrogamesva.../downloads/csf/
