The whole thing seems concieved and generated by ai for a quick buck...

Emulation and compatibility software are always in a state of motion. You were always better using GOG to get the main game files and setting it up yourself. I haven't used base dosbox in over a decade. Also, I don't view an issue with ancient dosbox as a broken game. Setting things up has...

Simplest solution is to get a joystick. If you love space sims, it probably wouldn't be too far out of your way or set you back too much. I love my Thrustmaster T16000m. Have had it for years and it never drifts, unlike many a junk logittech or saitek joystick I've bought over the decades...

Makes sense. In Wine (and therefor proton) , you have to specify if you are using a native library which is the windows library that comes with the app vs the built-in one which is wine's version. Built-in is default. Very important to note if you are attempting dll overrides in other apps.

I think Blair ended up looking more like Chris Roberts! XD Work fine in my book!

Windows 3.1 improvements are huge! Nice to see it get some love

Amazing work Howie! So great to see this going again.

Pedant man strikes again! (but hey this is a fan forum so I'm in good company). A-10 is designated as the Thunderbolt II. "Warthog" is a nickname that most people know it by. Just as the F-16 Fighting Falcon is nicknamed as the "Viper."

Well I think you are misinterpreting the hair in the original sprite. It's suppose to be short curly black. As for the face, the original sprite is perhaps a little lighter but definitely African. Yours Id think of as Middle Eastern or Indian.

I'd make many guesses from where that version of Knight is from, but I'm afraid South Africa wouldn't be on the list. The uniforms are starting to look a lot closer/consistent though.

Really neat. I find the AI's decisions on the backgrounds distractingly hilarious. Like I can see why it made the choices it did without the full context. I don't know if there is a way to isolate the foreground from the background and do those separately?

If emulation is the way with the origional patch, I believe PCemu/86box already have 3dfx emulation. Though it's a pain to set up. Honestly I think the method for playing these movies, specifically Odvs' enhanced versions just needs to be redone from the ground up.

Excellent! Yeah Im in the same boat with WCP/WCIV DVD patches. Maybe one day someone will do a libvlc type patch. That really does work well for WC3

Oh yes, absolutely. I've never been able to get the DVD patch to work for WCP or WC4 in linux wine. I know some people have had some luck but I find the whole thing extremely finicky. But this new libvlc method is working wonders for WC3. Here is to hoping!

Such an absolute joy trying this out last night! Seriously a dream come true. Thank you! On a future update, i was curious if you had given any thought to adding in some of the cut content? news reels, Hobbs scene, ect.. Would that be possible with this method of playing video?

I didn't have any issues with it. Worked right away. But then I'm using wine on linux. Not sure how that would effect things. Oh I did throw his files right on top of my wc3 wing loader install with Destro's patches. Maybe something there is a requirement.

Oh most definitely. I remember games like Rebel Assault running seemingly worse that that. I think people easily forget how different the world was like back then. PC's were not that common in every household. And the ones that did generally were not that powerful. Also I'm pretty certain...

Maybe, but at that point you are better off with PCem or 86Box. Or better yet just use nglide on your modern system directly

I finally got my copy to work again (boy was it a pain!) I don't know what I was thinking, space is blue in KS as well. As with that same joystick issue. I suspect it must be a wine thing because I do remember twist working with roll. [EDIT] Oh while looking for any clues in the files and...

Oh yes definitely, use to hit those types of errors all the time in linux wine before proton came onto the scene. :)
