Good time to everyone.
It's me again with such a question:

There's a Wing Commander Universe project at SourceForge
Has anyone ever download and compile it for Unix-systems?

I just can't get where to start and what to do,
and I'd certainly love some advice on the subject.

It is said that the supported systems are Win NT-XP,
Linux and all BSD systems.

But when I start downloading the 'source' - as it is called there -
the archive's full of xml files, png files and so on - and not a trace of
source code to compile.

So, if anyone has the sxperience with it - please, help me!

Yours,

I think that's some kind of plugin or expansion set for the Vegastrike engine. It would explain why you're only finding XML files and images. The guy who runs the project is probably the only one who can tell you how to piece it all together. You should get in touch with him.
 
And it's me again.
Sorry to disturb, but where else would I ask?

Now I do have vegastrike (nice enough thing, I'd say :) ),
I do have privateer gold smth, based on it - good thing, too :)

But what about the WCU itself?
I've downloaded file wcu07....zip frpm sourceforge - and there's only privateer?

And it was announced that WCU can be played for firekkan and kilrathi side.
So, if anyone has the experience - give me an advice, please?

Yours,

WCU is just Privateer with a bunch of weirdness that doesn't really work thrown in. IIRC you can buy kilrathi ships and stuff. :)
 
Just buy ships?
And what about:
A Privateer style game with Wing Commander ships, set in the Wing Commander Universe. The year is 2669, you have complete freedom to do what YOU want. choose your own destiny as either a male/female human, Kilrathi or firekkan as you travel the universe
Click to expand...
?

Is it not implemented yet?
 
I think the WCU project isnt complete yet, but theyve released a few beta versions, one of which you downloaded.
