Enemy Engaged: Comanche Vs Hokum
-
neuro #19 Egy kis segítség az installhoz:
Basic Install
If you do not own EE - Apache Havoc you can skip the first two steps
Install EE - Apache Havoc from the CD and run once to unpack the graphics files.
Patch EEAH up to patch 1.1E, run once.
Install EE - Comanche Hokum from the CD.
Download and install Patch 141C from the Razorworks site: documentation is here (if you have the US version you must install this even if you run the latest modded versions, this is a classic mess-up).
By far the easiest thing to do at this point is download and install the updater tool eechupdater1.3.exe . It is pretty much self exlanatory. There are >25 downloads, including the latest exe, sounds, a keychart, texture packs, warzones.
If you dont use the updater:
the latest exe (1.8.4) is here
If you want to download everything manually go to EechCentral files
IMPORTANT: The files eech.ini and game.cfg determine all kinds of options and are automatically created when you run the game and they don't exist yet (see below: trouble shooting). Some new exe's may reset the options (because the extensive modifications need a new game.cfg)! You may have to delete the file game.cfg or reset the ingame options menu.
If there are new eech.ini options the old eech.ini will still be read and the new options added when you leave the game. Start the game once and leave it to see which options are added. In principle all options are set to defaults which means that most mods are not active.
IMPORTANT: when you have just installed eech by default the "avionics" setting in the options menu is set at "novice". This means that you cannot operate the targetting systems, it is done for you in the game by the "copilot". Set this option to advaced when in the game for full operation of the targeting systems. When you delete the game.cfg and it is recreated by the game, the option is reset at novice!
Addons
For a complete list see Gotcha's addon list
The easiest way to install them is by using the updater tool eechupdater1.3.exe. You can choose from 3 servers where the list of updates is maintained, so there is always a backup should one server be down. If you want to download manually go to EechCentral .
There are basically two types of addons: texture packs (for camo, water, industry etc) and complete warzones with texture packs. Note that the Apache Havoc warzones are also available for free.
Trouble shooting
If your game doesn't run properly, there is not so much that can be done!
If you have some weird behaviour, go to the directory razorworks\cohokum and delete the files game.cfg which contains all the settings of the in-game user interface, and eech.ini which contains additional and settings for mods, in the cohokum directory. These files are regenerated automatically. NOTE: when you delete game.cfg the avionics in the options screen is reset to "novice" and the targeting systems do not work, you have to set it to "advanced" to make it work again.
A fresh install has been known to help in many cases (but its a pain).
Set the screen refresh to "always on" for Radeon cards
many people reported a problem with NVIDIA drivers 71.xx, version 81.xx seems to work.
Please try to repeat the error and report about it on the SimHQ - EECH forum. There is a file error.log in your cohokum directory when the game crashes but it is a memory stack dump and pretty useless, no need to report that.
You can ask for a debug version at the SimHQ forum that may help tou understand what is going on because it gives much more output.
If you get an error saying that /common/data/brief_en.dat is not found, go to the install disk and copy by hand the files brief_xx.dat to the razorworks/common/data directory on your harddisk.
