some Qs abt the previous Commandos

[CDos]

so what are the quick save/load buttons for BEL and BTCOD.

how come i could not save and load the game with the normal buttons? is there anything wrong with the installation? they are appearing dark.. cant click.

thanks in advance.

The quick save and load shortcuts keys are: Save (CTRL-S) & Load (CTRL-L).

As to why you cant save normally: If you copied files rather than installing via the setup program (some version of the setup don't run on NT or 2000 machines) then the reg keys wont have been setup, so if you save your game it won't save anything, but this should not grey out the buttons.

Check reg key : LOCAL-MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PYRO\COMMANDOS\1.0
See if anything is set-up here. If so check the installation directory (DirIns) is correct.

If not create following keys

CBEL:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pyro\Commandos\1.0]
"DirCD"="?CDROMDRIVE?:\COMANDOS"
"DirIns"="?INSTALL DIRECTORY?" "Type"=dword:00000001

CBOD:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pyro\Commandos\1.0MP]
"DirCD"="?CDROMDRIVE?:\COMAN_MP"
"DirIns"="?INSTALL DRIECTORY?Coman_Mp" "Type"=dword:00000003

?CDROMDRIVE? ie. D
?INSTALLDIRECTORY? ie. C:\program files\pyro\Commandos\

I am assuming you know what reg key is, if not it is probably better not to mess with them. Just try re-installing first.

Had same problem myself. Managed to get reg keys from a working install on my friends PC. Helps that I program for a living as well.

Glad you have got your problem sorted.
