Re: Graphics+ Patch
It's looks like that if you're already at the Tactcom level, there is only the Graphics+ to go. This was the largely pre-internet era, so the patch was probably distributed physically for the most part. There is one here on this Czech magazine CD, which I can't download right now to see what it is: ...

Re: Graphics+ Patch
Well, it's sort of a win...
So, was there ever a German version of the Graphics+ patch?

Re: Graphics+ Patch
It would be the first of those...
Looking at my directory for V2.0, I see I have an exe called ef2000.exe of about 1kB...which is what I run from DosBox. There is also the actual game exe called _ef2000.exe which will be called from the first one with those extra parameters.

Re: EF2000 Tools & Utilities
I had a look at 'Strategic Command' years ago, and from I remember it was very version specific. I wonder if it came out before DiD did the Tactcom upgrade, and whether it was sanctioned at all by DiD.

Re: Graphics+ Patch
I've come across this before, and it might be that it's not finding the dat file, so you could try running it from the command line.
These are the command line parameters I use:
>_ef2000 DID=C:\<your path to did.dat> quick_flag=1 gui

Re: Graphics+ Patch
Great progress!
I haven't had much time today, but have been comparing the English and German versions of SEF2000. As might be expected, the main difference is the strings in each language hard-coded into the exe.

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Anyway. now I have both the English and German SEF versions running off the same extracted dataset. So, just checking my assumptions, I can run the Takeoff mission with both exe and see that I get the RAF and Luftwaffe markings in the respective exes...and I can then change NATO to SWEDISH in the ta...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Interesting! On the V2.0 disk, there are installers for Tactcom, Graphics+ and SEF2000. So, Graphics+ is installed all in one go without any need for patching. I can post a link to the resulting installation folder for the 3dFX version if you like. I haven't tried anything other than the 3dFX versio...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Is that comment about SEF2000 or the DOS Tactcom version? I see the German SEF2000 exe is dated 4 minutes later than the English version I got from this disk: ef2000.jpg Strange that there's French and German on the back, but the only installation is English. I need to go to did.com to complain. :D ...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Thanks again! I just run the 16-bit on my Linux PC, then copy the resulting folder as nescessary. That's the right version as I get some warning in German when I try to run it. :) The idea is to compare it with the English version I installed earlier. While we use the DOS version for Reloaded, SEF i...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
That gave me an idea, but my Euro SEF2000 CD doesn't give the choice to choose the language...even though the French and German help files are included. Could you upload just the game exe (It's called _superw.exe on mine) of the German EF2000 as well?

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
...oh, and I'm definitely interested in the German Tactcom. so maybe you can upload it here as a zip file (if Krishty doesn't mind).
I wonder if it use Luftwaffe insignia for NATO...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
At the end of the line, yes, it's just texture coordinates. But we start with the mission configuration file, which for the 'Icebergs' scenario in the 'Free Flight' section of the 'Simulator' menu is called 'icebg.cfg' and contains this line: MISSION PLANE NORWEGIAN CAP OK 0 0 1 Running this mission...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
I meant swap the US and UK symbols on that texture. As they are different sizes, the way to do it would be to swap the semaphore values in the .3 file instead....but this isn't the way to do it. I've already had a quick look at finding where NATO is defined in the exe using IDA and Ghidra, but it's ...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
They are all on this texture:
We could just swap them about, but then if you specifically want UK or USA markings, they'd come out wrong.- 2024-Apr-03, 21:01

Re: ✔️ NEW FEATURE: EF2000 Terrain Randomization
Maybe, but TAW doesn't have rotations, and the only tiles that randomized are flat terrain for the most part. Certainly, no tiles with buildings on them are randomized.
The general idea was probably to give a bit more variation when flying over the desert, but not enough variation to affect the map.

Re: 🔴 OPEN BUG: Wrong 747 Scale
som747.3 is different. Smaller I think.
The first parts of the file of all the others are identical. Maybe the SP version of the 747.
