It's been a while since I flew helos in EECH and I started playing again just a few days ago. I did some reading on EECH central and this board to get as up to date as possible but I probably missed some details left and right.

Long story short, I've got some questions:

1. What is the advantage of installing EECH+mods over EEAH compared to installing EECH+mods+EEAH mappack 1.3?
2. My 3D ingame environment/world doesn't look as fancy as on some of the screenshots. It does look better than the default EECH game but I get the feeling I'm still missing some graphic beauty. Is this because I've only flown the default EECH maps so far or did I forget about some settings?
3. Does the 'eech-allMods-1.12.EXE' contain every community add-on/mod currently available or are there some game enhancements left outside this AIO pack? If so, what am I missing?
4. The 'eech-allMods-1.12.EXE' makes you think you're installing the 1.12 EXE but in the list with available components the installer offers, it says EECH 1.11 mod? I is cunfoozed!

Sorry to bother you people with rather noob questions but sometimes I find EECH central a pain in the ass to navigate. Imo it lacks a decent sitemap where I could veryify I've read every single piece of intel. Next to that, some guides/articles are outdated and do not cover the latest modifications/enhancements when I compare them to the features ingame.

Thanks in advance!

From the FAQ:




Not sure what you're getting or expecting. The default EECH maps should look much better than they used to, and about as good as it gets.
Have you set the texture_colour etc. settings in eech.ini?





It contains all the mods a knew about and had access to when I created it. So if there are more then I don't know where to get them But there are a couple released since the mod-pack was created, like the new Grand Canyon map (search this forum).




Probably just forgot to update the instructions then, it does include the 1.12.0 cohokum.exe. However cohokum.exe 1.12.2 has been released since then, so you would want to get that.



There is a sitemap at http://www.eechcentral.com/wiki/index.php?title=ToC, though not sure if it lists every page yet (make sure to visit the more links too).

I have set texture_color indeed, but to what "etc." settings are you referring?



So eech-allMods-1.12.EXE + the 1.12.2 EXE it is then! Thank you sir.

The settings following it. Mipmapping, filtering, dynamic_water.

Ok, done! Looks better now!

Why does eech-allMods-1.12.EXE act like a virus to my LiveOne Care? it shuts off the virus protection and refuses to delete when i attempt to scan it. I really want to use this but I NEED to know it's safe!

I'm using McAfee Virusscan Enterprise 8.5i and it's doesn't detect it as a virus. Over here in the Netherlands it's used by a lot of companies and schools so I trust the program keeps me away from any trouble.

Hello All, I tried to change these settings following the eech central directions, but failed. Error message reads
"Cannot create the C:/program files/gog.com/enemy engaged rah66 comanche vs hokum/cohokum/eech.ini.file." Make sure that the path and file name are correct.

Should I be changing the file name? Any help would be appricated.

Where are you getting that message? From EECH?

Appears that the eech.ini file is market as read only, right click on then, select properties then find attributes at the end of the box and uncheck "read only"

Arneh. I am getting the message from "notepad".

Pesanur. Good idea with the "read only" however the box was not checked.

One more thing, There is one more error message saying

"eech.ini already exists. Do you want to replace it?" But this bounced back to the previous
"cannot create C:" message.

Anyhow thankyou both for the suggestions.

Problem solved by complete un/reinstall. Games is beautiful! Now I can get myself killed in a more realistic enviroment.

Thanks for your help again and also the work on the updates.
