Re: Graphics+ Patch
The website I have linked to above contains the GFXPlus.zip containing the tacpat.exe. The site linked to in the opening post contained the tacpatg.exe. The "g" apparently for German. Wouldn't be surprised, if there was no separate patch other than this. I have dowloaded Mernava's UK packa...

Re: Graphics+ Patch
The one that I used was for the German version, but it stated German to English v2.0. Hoped that the insignias would remain the same. I might try the standard GFX+ patch, but doubt it will make any difference. Maybe somebody can confirm what happened to the British or any other (non-US) TACTCOM vers...

Re: Graphics+ Patch
I have succeeded. Seems the game didn't like the retrospective renaming of the game folder. Changing it back to EF2000 solved the problem. Unfortunately I could have saved myself a lot of time, because applying the GFXplus patch has indeed turned my German EF2000 TACTCOM install into the US EF2000 v...

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 Tried running as administrator, but it doesn't work, stating acce...

Re: Graphics+ Patch
The error message is "dataset not found" and it talks about inserting the SEF-2000 CD. That's interesting enough. Have tried it with the V2 image and my SEF2000 CD. Interestingly it only happens, if I try to start with the _ef2000.exe. When I use the ef2000.exe it simply skips with no erro...

Re: EF2000 Tools & Utilities
Not sure when SC came out exactly, but the manual states 1997. So definitely after TACTCOM.

Re: Graphics+ Patch
This site seems to have multiple GFXPlus patches: https://discmaster.textfiles.com/browse/2913/3DFXManiaCDROM.iso/patches/gfxplus.zip The one I linked to is the one with the latest date. I was able to successfully apply the GFX+ patch for the German EF2000 TACTCOM, but the game now asks for a CD-ROM...

This thread means to collect all available tools and utitilities for the EF2000 game. I might update the opening post with more information, when they become available.

Graphics+ Patch
Have found a link to the G+ patch, it's for the German version of EF2000(TACTCOM). So far I have failed to get it applied though, or at least it first complaints about Operating system blabla, then nevertheless open the installer which offers the choice 3DFX & RENDITION and tells me that it will...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Am just in the process of making a fresh install of EF2000 TACTCOM using DOS Box. I have backed up the original install and am patching to TACTCOM. Can confirm that the 1did.dat is created by the TACTCOM installer. I have found the Graphics+ update and try to run it therafter. I'll report on the res...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Thanks, interesting find. I have all relevant versions installed, maybe placing the German TACTCOM exe into the v2.0 3DFX version has the same effect, albeit I have some doubts about it. Might be worth to also give a try to Italian and Spanish nationality assignments for the scripted missions, as th...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
That comment was about the SEF2000. There are a few minor differences between tactcom and SEF2000. SEF2000 doesn't support the Graphics+ update and VFX1, but has the online help library. In SEF2000 the display overlays are also available in the 3D cockpit, not just in the HUD only view. I mean to re...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
It was actually a low budget copy I stumbled across in June 2001. Just the CD case with the CD, manuals in PDF format on the CD. Had the hard copy of EF2000 Special Edition (EF2000 + TACTCOM).

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Found a quick solution to install SEF2000. https://github.com/otya128/winevdm/releases Very easy to use in order run 16 bit setups on 64 bit O/S. So here is the exe from my German SEF2000 copy, it's definitely much larger, but based on the file size it seems that the "superw.dat" is probab...

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Here is the complete TACTCOM install. I have to checkout whether I can find the _superw.exe on the CD, as I have only the v2.0 Win95 version installed and want to avoid the hazzle of somehow getting SEF2000 installed.

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
I'll directly upload the installed game. Yes in this version the iron cross is the default one for NATO. Same with my German SEF2000.

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
So it's merely a position on a texture file that is being defined. Probably a kind of X/Y position. I have the German TactCom shall I upload it to have a reference?

Re: 40th Anniversary Edition
Is it known where the roundle files are located? A possibly simplier solution would be to simply swap the files, so the player may select the roundle before starting the game and it's managed through swapping the files in and out.

Re: EF2000 Known File List
Thanks, have no clue about the Python scripts though.
Maybe SEF2000 has still a lot of unused files which were removed from v2.0, who knows.
