Wow I'm just seeing this now. I remember Eagle One. I used to hang out in both chats, as the "split" had already happened when I came along. I also remember you LOAF and the others of the CIC. I don't think I was going by Darkmatter back then, but I could be wrong. I believe at that time I may...

Hi, I've been a long time member but don't post much. I've loved WC since I first saw an image on the front cover of issue 1 of some PC magazine. I've posted in the last few months in some of the WC improvement threads. I did a media arts program and a gaming post grad program. I never ended up...

I'm surprised HCl's page doesn't have them. BTW where are the midi files and if they're in a special compressed file, how do I access it? Thanks!

I remember making missions for HCl's first WC3 editor. I think I had to input co-ordinates by hand in dos. It was a total trial and error thing. I went by Firefly back then. [Sorry didn't see the age of the last post since it wasn't far down the first page.]

See, if there are already crazy awesome models then there's no point remaking what is already great. It's to bad the CIC can't let you have a look at the source code to see how to get around that sprite limit. Personally I think 2 games should be done. A completely faithful WC1,2,&Priv in the...

Sorry but I thought I remember seeing instructions on how to use sprite enhanced ships that aren't inside a "ship.v04" file but as afolder to fold the files. Did I miss read that or am I just blind. Thanks, DM

God I hated those Broadsword missions...

So, from a 3d modelling standpoint, is there anything that doesn't already have a good, up to date model? Thanks, DM

You could do a lot with an engine like that, and yes, you could do a straight "graphics enhanced" but faithful conversion for a game like Privateer but I've found that if you truly want to do a faithful update you can't stray to far from the original game. This much more up to date engine would...

You know, it's to bad that the latest space sim engine we have to use is FS2. It especially sucks that last I heard, there was no way to remove the "curved turn" that FS had. :( I thought I read that someone had made a flight engine on their own but I don't know how it's features compare to FS2...

I was directed to this thread when I asked about renders above 360px. Has anyone made any attempt to increase what size image the program will handle? As a follow up question, the default resolution for WC2 is higher then WC1. What is the max size for WC2, and if it is a fair sized bigger...

So can WC1 handle ship sprites bigger than 360px?

I just found this when I started thinking back on WC1. I like to go back and replay the series again every once and a while. I was wondering if it was at all possible to use even higher res renders, or can the game engine not handle anything above a certain size? (361x361 if I remember...

Thanks for the info. I think for now I'll stick with modeling. I do have experience with photoshop and with UVMaps, but not with UVUnwrapping which is what is needed here. I do wish to experiment with it but for now I'll stick with modeling. One thing, I think I read somewhere that some of...

So whats left? We really need some sort of spreadsheet with all the things that need to be done, and a column that shows who's working on what, and how far along they are. That way we can see what still needs to be worked on. This should help prevent multiple people from working on the same...

I had a question. 1. Does the extra hidden cargo space actually work yet, because it seems the militia knows your carrying contraband right away. 2. Is there a way to get other ships outfitted with the hidden cargo space later in the game, and if not, how would you flag your other ships...

Not a bug if we're comparing to original game. You could be non-KOS to the cats because you were undermining normal Human society by being bad. :)

I'm having a serious problem. All of a sudden bases and asteroid fields are rotating at an insainly fast speed. Its suicidal to try to go through an asteroid field. Try making it in or out of the bases that have rocks around them... its fun. Even bases with no rocks spin like crazy. Anyone...

Thats right, the beam was a toggle on/off not "hold to fire" As for the cargo. Can't you purposly add some code to help slow it down? Maybe a drag to bring it to a halt, or artificially increase its mass?

The Tractor Beam in the original game didn't come out as a beam from the front of the ship. It was like a self targetting turret that would lock onto the cargo once you got to within range and drag it into your hold. This was easier since you didn't have to line your ship up perfectly to the...
