I cant change the ingame rez.

It appears to be locked at 800x600. Am I missing something or is it a lame demo limit?

Haven't posted here in a long time. Open the config folder in your commandos directory, then open the file JuegoVer.cfg (with something like wordpad) and change these lines:

.resolution ( 1280.000000 1024.000000 )
.resolutionNTSC ( 1280.000000 1024.000000 )

Those are originally set to 800 and 600, change them to your desired resolution. While you are at it you can change these as well:

.bMarketingWhenExit 0
.bLoadSaveEnable 1

Their use is quite self explanatory.

Edit: Oh and this one for an extras menu:

.bMenusExtrasActivo 1

I will give 10/10 in any version of commandos. :mrgreen: Anyway, why don't you people start modding it? :D

I don't think the demo lives up to it's full potential. Everyone remembers commandos for being the game where you have to sneak around and kill people without anyone knowing what's happening. Although this is shown in the demo with the spy mission, it's not fantastic as it's seriously linear, and you don't get any options at all. I think once we get given the full sized proper maps the old commandos feeling will come back, where you end up co-ordinating attacks between commandos.

Sadly for pyro they have to include the first person shoot lots of Germans element, as that's what sells (especially on consoles). But all in all I think they've done it well, and no doubt it'll improve after this game, as it is their first venture into the first person genre.

what they need to add and improve in next sequel
- improve the AI they must react better (they did not noticed me when i jump behind them)
- add fild of view in green same as c2,c3 had the view eye angel not only in the mini map
- improve the grafik maybe with unreal engine 3
- more maps
- all commandos must do drive vehicle , jeep, tank,truck etc..
- make the gus sound as real gus sound and load heavey

one of the important part don't forget to have the siren alerter that was in old commandos series.. the gurds see you then they make sound alram sire..

Do you mean Unreal Engine 3? If so that won't happen, since before you do anything it'd cost them £350,000 for the engine licence, and then they'd have to do an entire remake of the game! So don't bet anything on that!

As for the rest of the changes yes they could be done, even by the mod community.

Quite correct. I am looking forward to do those when I get the complete version of the game! :yes: Anyway, I have mentioned some more features which I will want in the next version in the "iakovos review" topic. As for the graphics engine, it might be possible since Pyro is not a poor studio. :D

Yeah they're not poor but a different engine won't happen until the next game is what I'm saying, they won't spend all that money and months and months of time converting CSF to UE3!

Yeah exactly.

Besides it's how you use the tools/engine ... Having looked at Red Orchestra Ostfront which uses Unreal Engine 3 it doesn't look better than CSF. This is judging from a trailer but well.

Plus using UE3 will limit the number of people who can play it - I know for a fact my pc wouldn't run UE3 at the detail I can run the CSF engine

The alarm will be raised if you are seen by the enemy in certain missions. The consequence will differ on different types of mission. But basically, the patrols will leave their barracks and start looking for you, enemies will become alert like they have been in the previous versions. In some missions, your mission will fail since your target might escape... :) . Others cannot say but they might be done by modding. :D
