    One, Two, Three, Four, I Declare a Cat War (May 1, 2022)

    Well, yes. Out of context, the way I worded it sounds bad, but I'm not referring to the morality of them doing it here, just the implications to the timeline. 20 years is a bit short when it comes to propaganda and censorship but 40 is long enough for most of the people who served in that war...

    One, Two, Three, Four, I Declare a Cat War (May 1, 2022)

    The time shift is interesting though IIRC the 40 years line in Blair's voice over was the earlier version. the 20 years versions was a change made seemingly to address a few other issues introduced by the 40 years (which would have worked better with the dates in the handbook) ... Blair is...

    Visual Guide: The Uniforms of the Wing Commander Movie (March 22, 2022)

    This is a great update. A quick note. Most of the high collared sweaters seem to have a cutout along the front of the neck for some reason. The exceptions are Tolwyn and Bellegarde on the Concordia whose turtlenecks go right around. Other than that one detail all the sweaters seem to be...

    WC4 Fan Remake Revamps Lexington and Much More (March 4, 2022)

    The green looks bad (or at least more bad than it should be) because it looks like the wrong green... I get that this stuff hasn't necessarily had an artists pass, so I'm not trying to nitpick, yet something is making it look very bright lime green in the screenshot when it really shouldn't...

    How would a Firekkan animatronic be like in WC3/4/Prophecy

    I feel like you would probably have to change up the kind of birds or bird related being they are. They don't have to look like big bird. They could be more akin to some of the feathered dinosaurs and still meet the criteria. For reference on how far you can stretch the "Avian" look...

    After Privateer 2 ending

    I believe it's suppposed to be random but based on the disk number you are on. They should show up in different orders and a different times on each playthrough.

    Wc3 and 4 COG versions

    There should be a space before the dash but not after. As for why it's crashing, if it wasn't crashing before, work backwards through your changes till you find the one that broke it. It could be something simple like changing the core type that did it.

    Wc3 and 4 COG versions

    The section that actually tells dosbox what commands to load is at the very end. You could really just load dosbox and type everything in manually like you would in DOS. Whatever you type into the end 'autoexec' section just saves you from having to type it every single time. GOG's regular WC3...

    Wc3 and 4 COG versions

    WC3 GOG version is just the DOS version of the game. Dosbox is the environment it uses to run the game - essentially a dos emulator. GOG's downloads have everything all packaged up in a blob that you can just run to play the game. They use settings that work for some people but are kind of...

    Wc3 and 4 COG versions

    For video stuttering in WC3 you likely need to adjust the cycles setting in dosbox. The default setting is probably too low for your machine. You can experiment with increasing cycles to somewhere in the range from 60-80k. You should be able to change the control setup in the inflight...

    WC4 GOG Sound in FMVs Lower then in Gamplay

    Might be a false positive on AC3 filter... regardless though, if you have something like the K-lite codec pack you can use the codec tweak tool to boost the gain or volume on AC3 streams. Using the codec tweak tool you chould be able to click on 'directshow filters' in the configuration...

    WC3 GOG Sound Stutters In FMV and Gameplay

    I think you said you had a newer system you were running the game off of. I don't know why it might make a difference but can you list your system specs and tell us a bit about how you're running it? Is it off of an SSD? You said it was working the other day. Were there any changes to your...

    WC3 GOG Sound Stutters In FMV and Gameplay

    If you have extra programs running at the same time it could just be getting bogged down. Otherwise, both setting cycles too low and too high can make the sound and video stutter. Usually it will be the cycles are set too low in DOSBox though. I don't remember what the GOG version is set too...

    Sit Back and Relive Standoff with Justice (October 25, 2021)

    Yeah, Pedro, who was one of the folks involved with Standoff IIRC is the main guy behind the WC4 remake project and I believe he has VR support baked in from the ground up.

    All the Dune References in Wing Commander (October 24, 2021)

    I'm kinda wondering if the pilgrim abilities weren't also inspired a bit by Dune (specifically the ability to plot jumps)

    It's a Paladin Poll (October 16, 2021)

    It looks more like a fancy sport coat or jacket of sorts than a Hawaiian shirt.

    Wing Commander 4 cutscene line

    The built in interlacing in WC4 is not designed to be viewed at any higher resolution than 640x480 (the video itself is pretty much half that resolution again. THere's no way to turn off that interlacing in the DOS version of WC4 and it ends up looking awful when scaled up since the scalers...

    I've Created a WC4 HD Video Pack

    Just wanted to mention that despite the odd resolution, it might be outputing 640x400 but was still intended to be displayed at a 4:3 ratio. That means that you should definitely capture the game's native output but then resize/rescale the image to 4:3 at the end of your upscale project or...

    Wing Commander Toolbox

    Just a quick follow up. I had managed to not realized I had copied the WC2 palette file to the folder with the VGA files... with that in mind I did some experimenting and I'm able to rename the Armada palette files to "WC2PAL" and the extractor will use that, but it still looks funky either...

    Wing Commander Toolbox

    Doing some research into the Armada files and so far the tool works great for cockpit stuff.. The parts I'm having trouble with are the VGA files within the gameflow directory. The files seem to be the exact same format as the WC2 *VGA files... it's primitive video format with all the animation...
