SM 1.5 would be a great goal for a first shot. More campaigns coming up after that would also have been a good thing nonetheless...

Hey, guys! Thanks for the kind words. This is wcnews, not delMarNews, so I guess we'll stick to the game :) I admit that I myself have thought several times about going back to the project and it's definitely not off of the list. But I guess taking a step back and having a look at it from the...

Awesome, can't wait to find the time to try this out! May I ask, how something like that is accomplished on a technical level? I guess lots of debugging and assembler is necessary?

It's probably possible to change sm2.exe to be a 100% viable replacement of wc.exe. Changing the names of the pilots in the exe should be quite easy... Finding the right spot for "downgradin" the Dralthi is a little bit more difficult... I guess I should browse through the archives. I think HCl...

You may also trick the SM2.exe into being a WC.exe, so you can play the original campaign with speed limiter enabled. There are sideeffects, however. I think Paladin was replaced by another pilot. And also, the Dralthi looks different and has different weapons IIRC. You'll definitely find out...

Especially for WC1 this is hard to answer, because the game ran faster on faster hardware. I remember that on my 486 DX2-66 it ran way too fast. Not just a little bit, but unplayable. I had to boot with the Turbo button disabled (yes, there was a Turbo-Hardware-Button, it sat right next to the...

Although I have played the classic adventure games, I did not ever play one of the King's Quest games. I played Space Quest a lot, though. However, there's other classic adventure gaming projects going on. One of them is Thimbleweed Park from Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, the original creators...

Hi folks. unfortunately, I have to tell you that I won't be able to continue working on the workshop for some time. It turned out during the last month that what I thought to be my perfect private life was not so perfect at all. So I will have to take care of that now. For better or for worse...

Congratulations! Well deserved! :-)

Great, thanks. Hope to be able to get back to active coding soon. Should be within the next two weeks.

Yes, I think I'll try that. Sounds good. Thanks

Strange thing is, I wasn't able to find the Kilrathi taunts in the .exe file. One would think, all taunts are stored at the same location...

Just some hints: I think the SB-Pro has jumpers. Is your software configuration the same as the jumpered configuration? Do you have the parallel LPT port enabled? Maybe disabling it in the BIOS helps... Edit: disabling everything that's not needed may help (eg COM2, ...)

My DOS days are long over, but could you please share some additional information? Do you have such issues also with other games? Did WC1 run fine for example? Do you have other cards installed?

Your progress in such a short time is amazing. This thread was created on Dec 10. Did you dare to imagine how far you would be in about a month's time back then?

Can't wait to see some results. I am still trying to find the best fitting UI framework for the workshop. Some look very promising, but prototyping really helps to find out, that in the end they still suck I hope to get this done soon, because I'm really impatient about getting back to coding...

For reasons of tidiness, I'll re-post my answer from the other thread here

All comm messages are in the .exe file of WC1. Die furball! Slag off! Bite it cat face. SM2.EXE holds the following taunts: Here, kitty kitty! Get fixed, furball! Eat this, cat face! I did not find "You fight like a stillborn kitten". Maybe that's from WC2?

Short update notice: prototyping the first alternative UI framework complete. Unfortunately, not satisfied.

Shamed be he, who thinks evil of it :) Well, it was probably not so smart because now, votes will be split between those two. I, personally, regard it as an application that runs in the browser. So "project" would be more fitting. But, on the other hand, when only used as a source of...
