---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | HOW TO FLY KILRATHI SHIPS IN WING COMMANDER ACADEMY | | (PLEASE back-up your files first) | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This subject was vaguely covered on my info files, but here's a step-by-step on how to do this in Academy. -> Tools needed: DEBUG (comes with DOS and Windows 95) My WC2/Acad ship editor. -> Optional Tools: Windows Calculator in Hexadecimal mode (all numbers are in hexadecimal). -> Files Needed: WCASHIPS.ZIP (unpacked ship files) -> Info Needed: XSHIP.V05 is the Sartha file XSHIP.V06 is the Drakhri file XSHIP.V07 is the Jalkehi file XSHIP.V08 is the Grikath file XSHIP.V09 is the Strakha file All the COPY operations happen in the GAMEDAT directory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMHO, the best way to show how to do something, is with an example: Objective: Fly the Drakhri. 1 - Make a backup copy of the Drakhri file (COPY XSHIP.V06 XSHIP.B06) 2 - Load my editor. Edit the Drakhri. Change the ship number to 99. Save. 3 - Rename the modified Drakhri file to 99 (REN XSHIP.V06 XSHIP.V99) (and any other modifications you may want to make your Drakhri stronger than the enemy Drakhri) and restore the original Drakhri file (COPY XSHIP.B06 XSHIP.V06). 4 - Lets fly with the Sabre's cockpit (COPY PCSHIP.V04 PCSHIP.V99) 5 - Almost everything's set. Now you must change your ship selection: go to the MISSIONS directory, and edit a mission with DEBUG (the 1st mission for example): DEBUG MISSION.001 Type "d" and press ENTER. You should see something like this: 1769:0100 44 41 20 4D 49 53 53 49-4F 4E 00 54 00 FF FF 03 DA MISSION.T.... 1769:0110 00 FF FF 01 00 00 00 00-00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF ................ 1769:0120 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF-FF FF FF 00 00 FF FF FF ................ 1769:0130 FF FF FF FF FF 01 00 01-00 01 00 01 00 01 00 01 ................ 1769:0140 00 01 00 01 00 00 00 00-00 00 C0 F9 FF 00 44 FD ..............D. 1769:0150 FF 00 2C 01 00 00 E8 03-00 00 08 07 00 00 50 FB ..,...........P. 1769:0160 FF 00 D4 FE FF 00 58 02-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ......X......... 1769:0170 00 00 A0 F6 FF 00 48 F4-FF 00 48 F4 FF 00 48 F4 ......H...H...H. Then type, "e 10f 63", ENTER, "w", ENTER, "q", ENTER. 6 - Load the game, and the 1st mission. You should now fly the Drakhri with no problem at all (well, maybe one or two: this is NOT garanteed to work with that Gauntlet, but hey, nothing's perfect, right? :) ) Mario "HCl" Brito nop03079@mail.telepac.pt
