Gotta be doom

If anyone is interested in tracking down more information with the saves you can use originator to look at the data rather than specific offsets, in this case: PILOT -> morale and status (8 bit each) for WC4, one 32 bit variable for morale in WC3 You can find the order of the pilots in...

Thanks. We're increasingly not too worried about being able to make it in the sense of having a playable version, but there is so much room for polish. The worst case scenario would be releasing and having people say X looked better or Y sounded better in the original, and even just the...

I think it does no harm that there is a combined option to vote for your work towards making Wing Commander 1 as playable as it can be, regardless of the method people end up choosing. Super excited to play WC1 at the correct speed, I don't think I ever have! It was almost tolerable in the KS...

Blimey, it's not been that long since our last update - and we only tend to put out a few a year. Still looking at a release next year, although hitting the Feb 12th target date or not will likely come down to feedback on the build towards the end of the year. The initial release we're looking...

I wasn’t with a parent, I was out with a friend, not sure of the law but they could be strict, we really just tried our luck not expecting to get in as I was 14 and were just feeling emboldened after getting into a 15 the same day. The one that got to me was not being able to buy a bond VHS when...

It was the second movie I saw underage (at a cinema anyway), the first being earlier on the same day. Or maybe the third, I was thinking the first was the Full Monty but the dates don't quite work - but definitely saw two movies the day we saw Troopers, and it was the first 18 I would have seen.

Satirising a disturbing world view in a way that made it entertaining and self aware? How dare they A movie faithful to the novel certainly isn’t one I’d still be coming back to I do wish I could make these movie nights, time zones don’t make it easy

I took some time with the emulators and the one thing I couldn't find was flightstick support, which really helps make the 3DO version the ideal way to play (unlike SWC it has true analogue input). It's probably too much of an investment for most but I can not overstate how much I love that...

If you don't mind losing the ground missions I still think the 3DO version is the best way to play, it supports the joystick and the flight mechanics feel so much more like WC1/WCP. I've not done much experimentation yet with emulation but there is a 2x resolution option and I actually needed to...

My ultrawide patch for wciv gog is sitting around on the forums somewhere if they want to add it :p

Something I forgot to mention is one of the advantages of this approach is it's all automated so without changing anything we could enhance all the existing WC3 and 4 planets (the lack of textures in WC3 isn't relevant as we don't use them). Tyr is actually the worst case with extra features as...

Huh... I'm seeing the same thing even though their last patch notes are from 2018. The old version needs a special dll anyway, might be time to make a new patch which includes overwrites to the offending file.

It *was* working for me so clearly either a GoG or windows update has done something. I'm seeing very weird things, I was using the model upgrade pack with the OpenGL renderer: http://popsiclepete.solsector.net/files/OpenGL-WCP_setup(TEST-MUP)-RELEASE-CANDIDATE.exe But when I came back to it...

I was there for a bit on Monday along with a few from the wingnut discord - it was amazing to hear but just a fly on the wall experience and only English was when the conductor was asking George questions. So you didn't really miss anything but a preview of what we can look forward to.

I don't mind if I never play Arena again but if we didn't have Arena we wouldn't have Star Soldier - which I enjoy reading after a playthrough (ending on Secret Ops is never fun, SS makes a great bookend, still have the physical version) so I'm glad we got Arena and I don't feel like we're in...

Thanks. I tried the framerate adjust and it feels better.. but rotation speeds feel about 3 times as fast as in the DOS version. Takes about 4 seconds to do a full 360 in the DOS version

They're not confined to the joystick, the mouse has the same issue. I'm convinced it's simply a precision issue as rotation will step as you pass certain thresholds - and I did do some testing back in the day that showed it was better with low framerates (because the lower the framerate the...

That's a real tragedy, way too young. Sadly I never had the opportunity to collaborate with Klavs but I always admired his work; my work machine, home, handheld, laptop - every single PC I use has a piece of his work as the wallpaper and that has been the case for years.

I mean the precision issues were a problem in the original, this isn't a new problem - more a request. The mouse and joystick seem to get stuck and jump at low rotation values. Most people playing back in the day would have been lucky to get 15fps. The movies work great btw. It'd be amazing...
