Something I forgot to mention is one of the advantages of this approach is it's all automated so without changing anything we could enhance all the existing WC3 and 4 planets (the lack of textures in WC3 isn't relevant as we don't use them). Tyr is actually the worst case with extra features as...

Huh... I'm seeing the same thing even though their last patch notes are from 2018. The old version needs a special dll anyway, might be time to make a new patch which includes overwrites to the offending file.

It *was* working for me so clearly either a GoG or windows update has done something. I'm seeing very weird things, I was using the model upgrade pack with the OpenGL renderer: http://popsiclepete.solsector.net/files/OpenGL-WCP_setup(TEST-MUP)-RELEASE-CANDIDATE.exe But when I came back to it...

I was there for a bit on Monday along with a few from the wingnut discord - it was amazing to hear but just a fly on the wall experience and only English was when the conductor was asking George questions. So you didn't really miss anything but a preview of what we can look forward to.

I don't mind if I never play Arena again but if we didn't have Arena we wouldn't have Star Soldier - which I enjoy reading after a playthrough (ending on Secret Ops is never fun, SS makes a great bookend, still have the physical version) so I'm glad we got Arena and I don't feel like we're in...

Thanks. I tried the framerate adjust and it feels better.. but rotation speeds feel about 3 times as fast as in the DOS version. Takes about 4 seconds to do a full 360 in the DOS version

They're not confined to the joystick, the mouse has the same issue. I'm convinced it's simply a precision issue as rotation will step as you pass certain thresholds - and I did do some testing back in the day that showed it was better with low framerates (because the lower the framerate the...

That's a real tragedy, way too young. Sadly I never had the opportunity to collaborate with Klavs but I always admired his work; my work machine, home, handheld, laptop - every single PC I use has a piece of his work as the wallpaper and that has been the case for years.

I mean the precision issues were a problem in the original, this isn't a new problem - more a request. The mouse and joystick seem to get stuck and jump at low rotation values. Most people playing back in the day would have been lucky to get 15fps. The movies work great btw. It'd be amazing...

So to get the joystick working I did two things: Set compatibility mode to Win95 In USB Game Controllers I set the default controller in advanced Neither one on its own seemed to do it. Sadly the xbox controller keeps overwriting the default controller setting and not switching it back even...

Has anyone gotten joystick working with it?

Wow, that works surprisingly well. Auto pilot scenes even work in ultrawide.

It's a scripting command, not a memory address (I'm reverse engineering the data, I rarely look at the executable). That said you could probably do a search on it. Like wise I only deal with the registers and flags in the order they present in the save game data. Anywho I'll PM you a link.

I would think you'd intercept the script command to play a movie and check the data. 0xFACE002D But if you'd like to collaborate on register uses I can share our doc. I don't think there's any overlap in wc4 on the flags (but mission success is in the regs and seems the same in both games)

I thought it was the original 16, with an additional 6 making $22k the goal? Looking at the graph 22 sure seems more likely to get hit so I'm hoping that's the case.

Has anyone managed to hook up a Bluetooth snes pad to test this?

@Phanteke and @MadMac_5 I've dropped you both a PM with details. Thanks again for the offer. Much appreciated. If there's still work to be done later on I'll invite the others closer to their availability.

I appreciate the offer, I'll PM closer to June. As for TrackIR, I'll ask around if someone has one I can borrow. I don't really have the funds to buy every accessory; whilst I have VR headsets coming out of the wazoo for work but have never worked on a track IR game.

Yeah the ground missions are a weird one, I think most things were done well in one Wing Commander game or another, and so when we want to make improvements we largely look to the other titles which we felt did something better. Ground missions are an exception as there's no in universe example...

Perfect, thanks. Work is a bit crazy atm but I'll put together the build in the coming weeks and message people directly. And welcome to the CIC :)
