Hello friends ,

If you want to short the installation of Comanche Gold to 5 minutes

just get all additional files:

KDV files - https://app.box.com/s/tuw4nc43xf8p1ziz3vn5ydu7mhccn5zn
DXGL - https://app.box.com/s/tbj4yh20t1k56zthzvaaewgkee57cq43
FLYBOY win7/8/10 fix - https://app.box.com/s/ycztfdlqqlfszo4cjras3gzmkarecyh6

and use the video tutorials :
"Tutorial - How to Play Comanche Gold on Windows 8" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAIF3XUTlUI
or "Comanche Gold on Windows 10 Full Tutorial" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9wa8eERMR4

Hello friends ,

HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2xws37mA7k
revious83 posted a short tutorial How to use Reshade and Dgvoodoo on Comanche Gold INSTEAD of DXGL.
With Dgvoodoo2 you can even run it at 1280x1024, that is the highest resolution in the game.

First you download Dgvoodoo 2.53 from http://dege.freeweb.hu/, then open the Zip file and copy "dgVoodooSetup.exe" and every .dll file in the "MS" folder into your Comanche Gold folder. The launch "dgVoodooSetup.exe" and set "Config folder" in the upper left corner to your Comanche Gold folder, you can also adjust the setting to your liking if you want.
an Additional Option
Download Reshade 3.0 from https://reshade.me/ open "ReShade_Setup_3.0.0.exe" and choose your Comanche Gold exe file and set to direct3d 10+.
Then launch Wc3.exe and ingame open Reshade by pressing "shift+F2", then you can adjust the shader settings, also read the instructions files for Dgvoodoo2 and Reshade.

Hello !
I'm finally there ! Presentation to Comanche Gold Community.

Okay so I came here in the first place to find how to play the midi music for the game, from the .MID files. Actually, my midi device, CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth, plays the first note of the mission ( generally G*pad.mid ) and then freezes, and doesn't make any other sounds. It then always crashes when the game asks it to play another .MID (like G*combat.mid for instance ), it's a crash that doesn't ends the game but the first note of the music won't be able to play again until I restart Comanche... or even my computer sometimes.

I hope someone has an idea that could help smile.

I'm also willing to create new custom missions, campaigns, and I'm very interested by the work DavidC99 made earlier (... 6 years ago!!) for instance with the new pff editor. I still don't have much to share (excepted my first mission if you want) but I hope I will find some interresting things !

If I can get my midi back, and understand how to create .MID files and play them through a .MPL playlist in a custom scenario... I'll definitely try to compose some midi song in the spirit of the former ones, because I've never done that smile !

Hello !
I found the answer to my question, the MIDI playlist choice comes from the letter (A, B, C, D, E...) in the .MIS file, just below the weapon's list an above the weather conditions. It's a pitty I won't hear myself what it's doing, but... I'll definitely try remixing original midi playists !

Does any of you have the source code (.c ? .cpp ?) of the objedit tool ?
I mean, this tool allows us to change the group and the team of an instance of an .AI. But it is also able to show what's the AI name. In my opinion, this means (am I wrong ?) the coder had found the byte that links a given object with its AI as described in the .MIS file, doesn't it ? As it is, I think this byte calls for a rank in the AI list that seems to depend on the order they ar listed, as a result it could just be... a number pointing to this rank ? So it may be easy to use the objedit tool to change this byte into another one... refering to another .AI that we append to the .MIS list.

This could allow us to import new objects (objects the editor doesn't support) without sacrifying a whole object class for this task. I confess, it's just a detail, but that's just for testing purposes, I would rather prefer to put a vehicule in order to simulate a train than using some palm trees^^.
And it could be easier to do the swap (thanks to the USER.KEY that we can backup).

Edit : still wondering what "pitch" and "bank" mean in the editor.
That's all for the moment ;-) !

Hello ,

in this topic you can find a description and examples for 3D object import
Comanche Gold - A (kind of late) Christmas present to all CG fans
http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3481430/Comanche_Gold_-_A_(kind_of_lat#Post3481430

• Pitch and Bank are used when you want to place an object on an uneven surface such as a mountain.
mantaining a horizontal position is important for the clear fire range of the weapons of the object.

Thanks to ufo and others. I have this running quite well on my Lenovo Y500 laptop, Win 10 x64 with dual 650m Nvidia cards.

Took some trial and error, but eventually settled on DGVoodoo 2.53 and OpenGL mode, running full screen at 1280x1024. Cranked up anti-aliasing in Nvidia Control Panel as suggested, and it looks pretty good for a 20 year old sim. Using a Saitek AV8R joystick.

I am still new to this sim though, and one thing I ma having trouble with. I can cycle through and fire all the weapons, but not rockets. I hit the X key but nothing happens. Any tips here? Do I have to switch targeting modes or something?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Swagger200,
welcome here:-)
about the rockets - in some of the missions there are no rockets loaded initially.
In that case you can try other mission with rockets loadout or load them manually on weapons selection screen.
also If you use the Death_Wish_Decker's Comanche Gold - Universal Trainer v1.0 - see which weapons are active.
please check and give a feedback

That was the issue - I picked a mission where rockets were in the loadout, and was able to select and fire them. Thanks ufo. Now I just have to survive that mission!

Hi all,

I´m new to the forums and registered especially because I´m a big fan of Comanche Gold smile

I have a few question to you =)

Is this game still played via Multiplayer?

The custom missions don´t work for me. If I click on "load custom mission", Comanche Gold does not minimize for long and returns to the main menu there after.

Best greetings to you all!
Auriel

EDIT:
I´ll take a look for replies in a few days max smile

Hi ufo smile

thank you for your reply smile

Is there a possibility to play Comanche Gold via Multiplayer? I´ve read something about an TCP/IP Program and downloaded it, but I haven´t installed it at the moment.
Is it working?

In short, every custom mission is a problem atm frown

My Windows is Windows 7 64bit. The CPU is Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 @2,5 Ghz

I use the Comanche Gold fix for Win 7 and a reshade program where I can press SHIFT + F2 to enter the controls of it. Sorry I forgot the name of the program, I think it was reshade.

When I "click" on load custom mission, my screen blacks out and returns after 1-2 seconds to the main menu. It seems that CG tries to open the browser where a custom mission can be selected, but isn´t able to do so frown

Can it be, that the reshade program has something to do with it?

Best regards smile
Auriel

Hello Auriel,

Let make the things simple,

For Windows7 64bit you have to

1, install Comanche Gold / new and clean installation/,
2. copy WC3.MNU file/ wc3.exe/ and all KDV files in Comanche Gold directory,
https://app.box.com/s/ycztfdlqqlfszo4cjras3gzmkarecyh6
https://app.box.com/s/tuw4nc43xf8p1ziz3vn5ydu7mhccn5zn
3. use the windows7 64bit Fix

and then the game is ready .

Make these steps and let me know if the game is running normal for you?
