Thanks for taking a look into this. I don't remember changing anything in that file, so I didn't even think about looking into it... I'll post an update this evening

I playtested the game files today. Unfortunately, there's some issues which might require special treatment: DOS version - crashes after first mission when the bar should appear (after both debriefing and col. halcyons office when you ejected) - 2nd briefing (in col. halcyon's office instead...

Thanks @ChrisReid, you're right. I forgot to mention that there's a readme file inside the archive that describes the installation procedure. It should really be the whole campaign from SWC that's playable. I'll add the contents of the readme to the first post once I'm back at my desktop.

Absolutely! Take your time. What about this one: You create a special "mod" executable file. The exe checks for a config file of the same name (eg SM15.exe looks for SM15.conf), which contains at least the ID (eg 3). The "original" wcdx exe files just behave as they used to. I don't know...

Yes, I think so too. Good point. Maybe I have some email correspondence left in my inbox about some details he gave me. Otherwise I'll just bug him. Maybe he's receiving a mail anyway because of your mentioning him.

Sounds like a plan

In case you think the specific SO 1.5 parts can be finished faster, it's probably best you aim at that first. We can go ahead to creating more generic stuff later if all goes well. So do I :)

I'm bumping this as I think it makes for a great indicator on how much interest mods for WC1 are able to spawn. Concerning progress (you may find all those things spread over the various other threads): @Shades2585 might find the time to work on the phonetic scripting table that might allow us...

Hey @Stinger, here's my info about the savegame files. I guess @UnnamedCharacter's info about the gamefiles themselves are far superior to mine, so I guess I'll leave that to him. I'll just copy/paste the property definitions here (that's from the binary mapper I wrote so I don't have to...

Wow, you're moving at ludicrous speed. btw: do you have creating .vga files on your todo-list? I just ask because for the SO 1.5 mod (for any mod, probably) it would be awesome to be able to replace the "Start Secret Missions 2" button with something more appropriate. Thanks

Terrific

@Shades2585, wow, you did all this manually? Looks like LOTS of work. Which code do you mean? Sorry, I think I'm missing a lil bit of context here...

Wow, pimping those games seems to be THE thing these days! Awesome! Should this make playing Standoff and UE easier also? There seem to be some problems with today's OS versions

Updates: [2015-03-28] - v0.1.4: added "Start Covert Missions" image [2015-03-26] - v0.1.3: fixed bug where game would crash at the bar [2015-03-24] - v0.1.1: added generic "Buy more games like Wing Commander 2" phonetic texts and added script files for automated installation / deinstallation of...

Shades, I think we have all we need so far. We could start right away.

Absolutely! Take your time! Btw, it does not need to be a sophisticated solution. Some byte offset and the game not crashing would be enough :-)

Hey @Stinger, It would be absolutely the most awesomest if you could patch in some functionality that allows for creating special mod .exe files. So, if we were to build some SM1.5 (thanks to the great work of @UnnamedCharacter), it would be cool to be able to just name the files CAMP.003, etc...

Awesome. What's your timezone and which time works best for you? Thanks!

Yep, works for me, thanks. That was quick

Yes, of course. Unpacked everything into the same directory. And the other exe is working, so it should be just fine. Different thing: I recognized some still unknown variables in the MODULE file among the mission ship points. Any chance of decrypting them soon? Just in case there's not, I...
