    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    The issue isn't the effect itself, but rather the way it gets stacked when a Jalthi fires. Each shot plays the sound effect, and the Jalthi has four lasers.

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    @ShadowArm: I'm surprised to see your bloom issues are still there; the game now draws the black sidebars (in fullscreen mode only), but it only draws them when it needs to. Maybe ReShade is tossing out information from previous frames? I guess I can just draw them every frame, that's not...

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    I found a minor mouse issue, so I fixed it and updated the release archive (both on the first page of this thread and on GitHub). Since this is a fixup, I just reused the same name; nothing to see here...

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    Yeah, it really doesn't seem like that long ago. I've posted a few builds on this thread since then, but never promoted anything as a release.

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    Almost all of my weekend time disappeared on me, but I still managed to push out a new release (after a brief hiatus of nearly three years...). Get it here!

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    The cursor is rendered by the game and drawn into the frame buffer, so there's some innate latency from that thanks to the game's frame limiter. Fixing that would be a significant undertaking. The weird positioning you're seeing is probably because wcdx never actually creates a full-size...

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    Try the build I posted a few messages ago. That one has a much larger frame buffer.

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    I'm not familiar with ReShade, but from reading a little bit of the site, it looks like it can already masquerade as D3D9. You should only need to name the ReShade dll as d3d9.dll and place it alongside the game executable.

    Sweet! I'll be picking mine up when my current lease nears its end; should be around September.

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    I think @delMar is correct; the issue appears to be the working directory. Here's a line from your screenshot: C:\Users\petePESTILENCE>c:\wc1\wcpatch Wing1.exe Wing1wcdx.exe Here, your working directory is C:\Users\petePESTILENCE. The wcpatch tool is located at c:\wc1\wcpatch. The two...

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    As it happens, I did some work on wcdx recently to update the internals of the patcher, including how it handles files. I've attached a new zip to this message; give it a shot and let me know if this works any better for you. There are no meaningful game changes here compared to the last build...

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    That's very strange. Can you check and see if the file or directory has the read-only flag set? (Right-click the folder, hit Properties, click on the General tab). Otherwise, I don't have any ideas here. You can try telling the patcher to put the output file on your desktop: wcpatch...

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    That's most likely a permissions error of some kind (meaning the OS isn't letting the patcher create or modify a file). Depending on the exact cause, it could be solved by moving the game files to a different location (such as a folder on your desktop), or making a new copy of the files from...

    Thanks for this; it may come in handy for wcdx later.

    Adventures in Explorations: WC1 Edition

    Useful information! Thanks; I'll add that to my to-do list. Lots of things were not done properly for KS SM2...

    Adventures in Explorations: WC1 Edition

    Very interesting! I noticed the $#SAGA.EXE tag while digging around in KS, but never bothered to figure out what it was for. Might be worth reintroducing this, though the credits are clearly incomplete. In particular, the soundtrack was rescored by George Oldziey.

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    Joysticks and game pads should work out of the box. Just make sure Windows recognizes your controller, and it's the first controller in the enumeration order. (That is, if you have more than one joystick/game controller, only one of them will work.)

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    Thanks for the encouragement! Your estimate is not far off. I haven't forgotten the project, but I also haven't spent any time on it for much longer than I'd care to admit. I do have competing obligations, and it's hard to work around that, but the larger problem is simply that I've fallen...
