    Help Preserve Wing Commander Academy! (October 16, 2016)

    I was going to write up a linking post on the Wing Commander sub-forum for this on RSI. I wanted to ask if you felt this was ok to do @Bandit LOAF ? That, and George Oldziey's album two fundraiser.

    First Wing Commander game, Naval and Army ranks....

    ...and so is "Gash" Dekker, a Colonel in the Confederation Marines by Prophecy, same rank structure; Duke himself a General at the end. From the novels and games there is an inference that they are an independent corps. Does Confed have an Army or do the fleeties operate on the ground with...

    Starlancer

    I have not directly tested this myself. Disabling the CD check was for bypassing my lack of a CD drive in the machine. I can't imagine the safedisc DRM not interfering due to the apparent lack of support for it on 10 however. To that I say... try it yourself? :D

    Starlancer

    The DRM issue I have is mostly a hardware technicality, I have no optical disc drive in my new machine currently. My old one still has a DVD rewriter so I networked the CD drive for installation purposes but I don't want to leave the other system on just to make a CD check everytime I run the...

    First Wing Commander game, Naval and Army ranks....

    Tolwyn says that Blair's career in the navy is, "over." To the point of his secretary already having, "drawn-up your resignation." @FredDude32 - The rank hierarchy is listed on page 8 of Victory Streak pictured here: Sorry about the rotation angle. I keep flipping it portrait style but...

    Starlancer

    I just reinstalled Starlancer on my Win 10 machine. Had to remove the safedisc protection to run it but it works. Actually, I have dgvoodoo2 set for 1920x1080 while keeping the aspect ratio. It is only mildly stretched. Setting the in-game rez to 1024x768 increased the detail without altering...

    WC4 Mod For Homeworld 2 In The Works (June 5, 2006)

    I've done similar scripting in the fan-made AlliED for Xwing Alliance so that's nothing new. Hoping the editor is user-friendly. So storyboarding in a nutshell with outlines for different criteria. Project time! Time for research... after I force myself to catch some Zs.

    Edited my last post mildly. Meant, "without outright." :confused: Insomnia messing me up.

    WC4 Mod For Homeworld 2 In The Works (June 5, 2006)

    I preferred the more gamer's perspective. The part about Tolwyn going to sleep at night with a limited edition Concordia plushy left me in stitches. A graphical tree might help some I suppose. The guide was informal enough to say about how much research was needed without outright giving it...

    WC4 Mod For Homeworld 2 In The Works (June 5, 2006)

    A, "small supplement," he says. :rolleyes: This guide is a Godsend. The mod doesn't feel so overwhelming to understand with this data. Thank you for this! Now if only I was a better player... I seriously want to learn this engine scripting; find a way to create a fun campaign.

    Second Wing Commander Album Kickstarter Launched! (October 14, 2016)

    Oh good, George has the fundraising open till the 13th. I'll be getting some birthday money or or around the 5th. Immediate family never knows what to buy me and I'm too proud to ask so they typically send a lil' cash. The rest of my money is currently tied up in... life. This might be my first...

    Star Citizen guild- oops, I mean squadron...

    Not completely, I thought about it but it's just too large a ship for me to use as an everyday vessel like my Constellation. That being said, you have in me an eager gunner/co-pilot any day you need one...is what I'd like to say. More likely whenever I can get time at the PC. :D

    More Baen Wing Commander Ebook Rereleases Confirmed! (September 6, 2016)

    Unless you're like me and have the binding and cover separate, like my copy of Freedom Flight. All my others are broken-in without being broken, yet. Being able to enjoy the books without digging my paperbacks out of the dry place I keep them in is a Godsend. Florida humidity is like cancer to...

    Wing Commander IV Gets Holovids Treatment (August 14, 2016)

    I didn't realize there are that many differences in the videos. The CD version also features a different ad for Dolby Digital sound. Where the DVD features the big helicopter flyby over a city the CD version has a more subdued sepia toned locomotive spooling up. I remember the compression...

    I could use a few less capship missiles being shot at those 5 Transports but that's just me. I'll sign up for testing.
