Ummm... wow. HCI truly is our lord and saviour. I can't express how grateful I am for all his work in making the vision engine so much more than the original WCP. Thanks, and again, wow.

Wow, there is a real improvement here, although I think the chords from 0.30 onward let down the rest of the music, especially as the whole piece seems rather more solid now. Considering that this was created on a home midi setup it does sound pretty amazing. Will you be using the new...

Will the number of ships you have run over into the next episode? The last mission in the first episode has a way of whittling down the number of friendly ships.

I don't think its thew speed of your PC thats creating the skipping with the video. The issue is not like that of WC1 where anything but a 386 will allow it to run too fast. My old PII350 system which I first played WCP on was inferior to the Duron system you're going to make. If the new...

Does anyone remember Bucky O'Hare? Don't know why I thought of that...

I think the prevailing answer is likely to be "when it's done". Which is fair enough given the volume of work involved.

Um, I did. Apart from the one with the mine thing that made youe sensors go all funny. Had to drop down to ace to manage that. I didn't realise UE wasn't intended to be played on nightmare, I always use it for the WCP/SO engine as the game is so darn easy. Never could get past the easiest...

Does anyone know if armada has mouse support (in any version)? My CD copy seems to have no option for mouse at all, making it the only WC to lack it. WC3's lack of TAB afterburner is the only other problem I've had with WC mouse support. As I only really enjoy WC with a mouse this is a fairly...

I suppose the DF was underused in WCP because it would have affected the game balance somewhat in favour of player (even more than it already is). Of course the brand spanking new Midway with all its equally new fighters should be sporting something a bit newer. The crappy AI in WCP always...

Priv's AI really came into its own with the retros. I'm not entirely sure what the point of taking one shot then flying around you was. It wasn't even as if they were trying to stay on your tail. Bless 'em.

I suffered from that particualr Bug myself but only the once. It seems that it's not really that important. Either way, fantastic mod, and when I get my graphics card I'm going to play it with every single one of those lovely pretty effects. You managed to pack a lot into 10 missions and...

Wow, the talon sounds rather nastier than its Priv counterpart. The particle cannon with 2 mass drivers sounds pretty good by the standards of Standoff. Plus anything with 4 HS missiles sounds like bad news when you're in a craft with shields and armour as waffer thin as the stilleto. Hehe...

One of the points of having sound on a PCI card instead of the mainboard is that it will save a bit in the way of resources so it will assist when running some games. I find Prophecy runs better when I use my SB 5.1 rather than my onboard NForce 2 sound. However, generally I prefer my onboard...

Rumour has it that the next version of DosBox (out... sometime soon hopefully) will allow Priv to be run at a playable speed. I'm not sure if that will include specs under 1GHz however. Personally I was unable to get WC1 working playably with my PII350 and priv probably needs more in the way of...

The only real problem with the WCP laser is the refire rate. The turret lasers on the Dev and the Shrike seem to fire much faster, making them guite useful.

Playing the money making game in Priv to a ridiculous extent allows you to buy all the fancy upgrades when you start RF.

I've tried using the patch available on the WCNews file list but that doresn't seem to add mouse support. Think I might just wait for DosBox 6.2 so Priv works properly. :D

The Banshee in UE, like every other mission in the game, forces you to economical with the resources given to you. The best get with guns is to use a combination of lasers and stormfire. Anything lighter than a manta can be brought down like this which does account for a lot of fighters...

Thanks for the tips. I'll give it a go as soon as I get the time. Doesn't really seem like much point though if keyboard is the only option. Its almost impossible to dogfight with it.

I've tried out your recommedations and I've got Armada working, albeit without sound. The lack of mouse support is really annoying, I'm sure I've had it working when I first played the game in DOS. Thanks for the advice.
