I've released ddhack 1.0, most likely the final version ever, unless something weird happens. I did a quick cleanup of the source code, and released it as well, as promised, so if someone wants to take it for a spin, I won't mind. The page also contains, in story form, what I did and what's what and that sort of stuff.
So What Is It?
DDHack is a direct draw ddraw.dll replacement hack. You place it in the game's directory, and things work better. Hopefully. Supported games are Wing Commanders 1-3 from the Kilrathi Saga box, and the CD version of Wing Commander 4.
Thanks to everyone in the WC CIC community who helped me out; I hope this little hack helps other people than me to enjoy these games on modern systems.
