MISSION EDITING: OVERVIEW
Hi and welcome to my C:BEL page. This page is dedicated to all COMMANDOS fans and I hope you'll find something interesting here. I gotta mention though that all stuff here has more to do with game coding and not gameplay. Firstly I would like to share things that I know, gathered by thorough research, concerning editing missions. Secondly I put some downloads here.
Anyway I hoop you enjoy and maybe learn something.

Before proceeding futher you should know that all information here comes from the unofficial source (that would be me) and should not be considered as an editing guide. Use all info at your own risk. :-)
NEWS
Final note (January 2002):
Due to the lack of time, I am unable to maintain this site, nor play around with Commandos. I wish all the luck to the people who are willing to modify Commandos and now Commandos 2. I still consider some information, provided in this page, to be very usefull. Keep in mind that some of the information may be innacurate or outdated and that I am no longer able to answer your questions.

I decided to add this part to overviews. The reason is that too many things have been going on. The main news is that I started developing Character Wizard for Commandos. Character Wizard is a VB program which lets you modify commandos in a mission. When I began programming I've come to the conclusion that it's not gonna to be easy. Firstly, tooooooo much codes, that's why only characters and not all mission. Secondly, I discovered that C:BEL perform differently on my computer than on others. That's why I need testers.

If you feel like testing, download the alpha-version from my stuff section and test it on your PC. Make sure to read Readme.txt first. Then report all problems you've encountered and I'll mention your name (nickname) in the credits of the program when it's ready. Please note: I do NOT need stupid comments like I pressed a button and it didn't work, I need to know specific info like what button, what screen, what have you done before pressing that button. The most important is whether mission works with your C:Mp version. I am also aware that there are no error handlers yet, so no need to report that. Btw comments and suggestions concerning the contents of the program are welcome as well. Feel free to mail them to me.

Another news is that I've updated syntax part of this page. Commandos and patrols codes are added.

Last thing: Hope you like the new lay-out of this page. Also hope it's not too heavy on slow networks (because of graphics).
Missions
This is the part where I explain my theories about the structure of Mission (*.mis) file.
Macros
The same as Missions but about Macros.
Syntax (partially under construction)
This is the jackpot. In this section I discuss the codes for sprites (objects), explain the meanings of some properties. I also put here listings of macros (*.mac) and animations (*.anm) which I was able to translate.
 
How do I..? (under construction)
This is for people who don't have time to learn all that shit about macros and codes but just wanna know how to modify and quickly too.
Images
Different images of my personal achievements and some funny stuff.
Links (under construction)
Some links to various Commandos pages.
Stuff
Download some of my updated missions and macros. Also you can download util for extracting files from Wargame.dir.
