MODIFYING

It is possible to modify the game making it easier or harder. The PARGLOBAL.DAT file controls many things. You must first extract all the files from the DATA.PCK. It can be edited using Windows Notepad or another editor. Below are segments that change some things. In blue is the part just above the thing you can change. In green it tells the effect. Most of the numbers in the black text lines can be changed up or down. Be sure to back up the original PARGLOBAL.DAT file. If something doesn’t work you’ll know how to reset it. You can delete the parglobal if too much goes wrong since it is not in the DATA directory originally, just extract it from the data.pck to start modding again.

Some translations from Spanish on critical things-
These are the most important things that affect the game and seem useful:

When you see this…
# Si es true, provoca que la apariencia de todos los bichos japos sea como si fuesen alemanes. Es para que no se enfaden en el país del sol naciente.
( QUE_NO_APAREZCAN_BICHOS_JAPONESES BOOL 0 )
You can change from 0 to 1 giving MOST of the Japanese German uniforms but it is not possible, easily, to do the reverse. Anyhow they still speak Japanese. It is possible to completely change all the animation and all the sound files but it is a major task to make Japanese in the German missions and Germans appear in the Japanese ones with proper speech. Uniforms found on dead Japanese are still the German ones and vice versa so you would get a wild mix of dress as you use them.

.MOTOR_PEATON
[
.ESQUIVAR_PEATONES 1 at the very beginning of the parglobal.dat file you see this. It has to do with enemies on foot moving when their vehicles approach. Changing it to 0 supposedly may not let them move correctly though I’ve seen no difference. It doesn’t work if you are driving.

# Distancias máximas de lanzamiento de granadas (deben ser menores que la longitud de la vista)
Just below the above line you see this…
( DISTANCIA_LANZAMIENTO_GRUPO FLOAT 800.0 ) This is how far the bazooka shoots

( TIEMPO_HASTA_NUEVA_ALARMA INT 750 )

( TPAT_GOLPE_PARED INT 200 )
Below the above line you see this. It has to do with time between shots of weapons in Normal (facil) Hard (normal) & Very Hard (deficil). You see the pistol and spear gun (arpon) changed to give faster shots in hard & very hard and in easy/hard for the speargun.
