Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Maybe we could start this way. Maybe I can find something in the extracted files. Seems to me for example that there is a file that defines the number of allowable missions in the different Simulator sections. Forgot about the file name though, but it seems that more missions could be created editin...

Re: EF2000 Tools & Utilities
At the moment it's SC that is often crashing. So it needs to be determined what works and what not. I have created a Simulator mission as well. Interestingly in the unaccelerated version of v2.0 the name you give the mission is retained, in the accelerated version the mission is renamed to Addon. Te...

Re: EF2000 Tools & Utilities
Did some trials with with SC. It works with the unaccelerated DOS version of v2.0. It essentially works with the accelerated version as well, albeit it triggers a "wrong version" warning. You can essentially copy paste the _EF2000.exe from the DOS version to 3DFX it the warning will not be...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Just for info, in campaign mode the game crashes when entering 3D. In Simulator mpde I had no issues. Also interesting is that the game doesn't start, if MIDI music is enabled. If you switch in sim from CD to MIDI pressing ALT+M the music works however.

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Which may hint that maybe specific game mode related files are missing from the extraction and the game can't load them as they are missing in the extracted files or located in a wrong sub-directory. Maybe there are also some files that need to be in the DID.dat? I don't know how the extraction proc...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
I have only replaced the DID.dat and added the 3 folder with the German efa.3 model. Which DID.dat are you using, or have you removed it? Could imagine that maybe the files are possibly incomplete, i.e. missing from the DID.dat and in extracted form? Where are the "unknown files placed in their...

Sure, makes sense to use the new X version.

Re: EF2000 Known File List
Have taken a look at the "unkown" files. Their names are pretty similar to what was posted with regard to the "languages" file. Seems that other files are pointing to these. They can be opened with a text editor, but need some further investigation with regard to which files poin...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Just some thoughts about a 30th anniversary release or EF2000 Reloaded v2.0: 1.) Extracted version of EF2000 v2.0 DOS 3DFX ready to run and maybe preconfigured. 2.) Reloaded front end incl. DOS Box as is. 3.) Revisiting and updating docs and instructions. 4.) Embed the DOS tools and make them run fr...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Well, that seemed to work although I'm not sure how to best package the solution. I've edited the model files and removed the original model efa.3 from did.dat. I've then created a new did.dat (from the files I happen I to have handy, which may not be complete) and moved the EF2000 models to a '3' ...

Re: Source Code Snippets
That raises the question whether that langdef file is also available in EF2000, or at least SEF2000? If I'm not mistaken, the insignias/roundles used in F-22 are not impacted by the installed game language though.

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
The interesting aspect of the DOS version of EF2000 is that the insignias seem not to be hard coded in the exe, unlike in Super EF2000. I have placed the _ef2000.exe from the German version of EF2000 TACTCOM into the UK version and it neither changed the game's language, nor the insignias, unlike wh...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Even V2.0 has a flag somewhere for installation language. The file 'mainmenu.gui' from V2.0 still contains some French and German text, and if I swap the words 'english' and 'german', so it's reacting to the word 'english' rather than taking the first position in the list. ef_mainmenu.PNG I can't f...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
I think I did that already, here: http://simforums.krishty.com/viewtopic.php?t=426 I patched the original EF2000 with all available patches, also offered them all as separate installed folders, so that people can compare each version step by step. Hello Menvra, were you the creator of the ef2000fix...

Re: The 'Windows Help' system
https://github.com/otya128/winevdm/releases The Winevdm tool also includes a "winehelp" emulating the old Windows help file. Only problem I found in the SEF2000 help file is that on the intro page the text seems to be black on black. You can see it, when it's marked. The tool can also rum...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Some updates. As reported elsewhere GFX+ converts your European version of EF2000 into US v2.0. Replacing the exe or DId.dat of v2.0 with TACTCOM doesn't work and unlike the Win95 versions there is also no change in insignias when swapping the executables between different TACTCOM languages (tested ...

EFUTIL entry is updated, managed to run it using the "Wimevdm" tool. https://github.com/otya128/winevdm/releases The good thing about this tool is that you can not only run 16 bit setups and old executables, there is a winhelp function included, discovered it by coincidence. You can use it...

Re: API Documentation
Interesting in EF2000 there was no message that I can remember, but might be wrong on it. I only remember that the mission ended when you left the area, while I was testing the Autopilot logic in tracking mode with no target.
