Now You Can Cube Your WCP Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Kevin Caccamo has an unusual update for us: step-by-step instructions for using the new OpenGL patch for playing Wing Commander Prophecy in odd resolutions. So if you have an especially strange monitor or you just like playing with odd things, these are the instructions for you:
I've been playing around with Pedro OpenGL patch for WCP/SO and I've ran it in a few unusual resolutions, like 868x651 or 720x540.

To run your Prophecy/SO in unusual resolutions, download the patch here. Make sure you have a GENUINE (as in from the CD) exe file, or else the patch will not work.

Randomize a multiple of 4, then write it down or put it into short-term memory. Then divide this number by 4 and multiply it by 3. Then write it down or put it into short-term memory.

Then, open up the OpenGL config program and type in the first number as the width and the second number as the height.

And don't worry, it will look fine.

He also snapped a picture of Prophecy at 868x651 as proof-of-concept:

There's more modern military fiction from Wing Commander novelist Peter Telep - Amazon is listing "Direct Action: Special Forces Afghanistan" as being set for a January, 2008 release. Telep's official site says:

This series follows a U.S. Army Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha team as it takes on some of the hardest missions imaginable in and around Afghanistan. The first book, Direct Action: Special Forces Afghanistan is scheduled for Jan ’08 from Berkley Books. I’ve been working with dozens of military and professional tech advisors on this series. It promises to be a fun read!
