It's awesome to see all these fan projects! It feels like there's a real resurgence among WC fans. It's been a great year. Sadly I'm getting an error here when trying to load:

If it *is* an issue with the DVD movies being quiet compared to the rest of the game, then one fix (if you've installed the k-like codec pack) is to use the codec tweak tool to boost the gain on AC3 audio. When you open the codec tweak tool, under "configuration" click 'directshow filters" then...

Thanks. I'm trying to get a sense of what is breaking here. How long are you waiting for the videos to load and what kind of CPU and GPU are you running? Some programs in Win 8 and 10 do have issues if they aren't installed in the program files directory, but I honestly don't think that...

Out of curiosity, which directory did you install the game to? If you alt-tab out of the game when it's supposed to playing a video are there any dialogue boxes giving any permissions error messages? What type of machine are you running this on? Are you running multiple monitors? I'm kind...

The WC3 (and 4) IFFs all have the textures in a TXMS block with individual textures in TXMP chunks which all start with the actual texture name. The 3DO version seems to have simplified the object list significantly with a lot less objects and textures and everything just seems more basic at a...

Thanks, I'll take a look at these. Overall reading the disks isn't the biggest challenge with the 3DO files. Do you have more info on what process is used with the emulator to do this and how this compares to just reading the files directly with something like Opera decompiler? We also have...

I'm assuming they meant "Admiral" instead of General. Still, the flavor text on the back of the card is more about the Kilrathi... in general [ ;) ]. The admiral is the guy in the movie with the clan flags on the back of his armor, so it does appear they swapped the art on the General and...

It's interesting that the back of the pilgrim traitor card mostly goes into detail about the Pilgrim Cross rather than the traitor itself. It does however - in that text - reference Blair killing a Kilrathi and finding out who the traitor is both with the knife. Both of those things are cut in...

That would be the Confederation Handbook which accompanied the movie. It details a lot of the animosity that led up to the Pilgrim Wars and why there was so much hate.

The double sided DVD (with the mpeg2 videos) is what we're talking about. The only other version is a single sided DVD that is basically identical to the CD version just all on one disk.

That said, if you really want to get in to audio editing you could probably pull background noises out of other videos and demux all the channels into separate tracks and use that to create a 5.1 track since most of these videos have no music. The CD version audio is already 'dolby...

There's no point. I have the DVD here and GOG's version is basically a direct copy of the DVD files.

There are several space transitions that lack sound, but they are that way on the DVD. The audio for the Telamon scenes are in the pack I linked above.

Yeah this is the one I mentioned a few posts up. It doesn't have audio on the DVD for some reason but I did post a fixed one for you a while back if you still have that. If not here's all the audio for those scenes ripped from the CD versions ...

Is it working in-game? Did you select the joystick as input method in the in-game menu ((alt+o inflight)? I would not worry about calibrating the stick in-game if you can calibrate it in windows and can fly ok.

As far as I know most of those have no dialogue. You could probably just wrap up the extra files in a separate zip rather than replace the existing ones. There's maybe two exception: There's the wash-out ending with the extra bar coda, and a segment of the scene where you chastise maniac for...

How hard would it be to just get the game to apply a very light film grain filter as the videos play? I'm guessing the results won't be ideal, but it could allow people to choose to turn it off if they don't like it. I personally feel the end results of having it baked in to the movies is...

Info on refpack: http://wiki.niotso.org/RefPack " RefPack is an LZ77/LZSS compression format made by Frank Barchard of EA Canada for the Gimex library used by many older games by EA " The part I find funny in this wiki entry is the bit where it says near the end : " The original RefPack.cpp...

Yeah I'd love to have an STR unpacker as well. I'm not a code magician, unfortunately. They are definitely an archive of sorts though. I posted a bit about them further up. You can see the whole index of files in the STRs in plain text near the top of the STR. You can see where the...

The results are promising. One thing though, at least with the low resolution the separation beween the CG backgrounds and the live action doesn't stand out so much. I feel like there must be some kind of lighting filter that can add a subtle blend to the edges where there's motion over a...
