One semi-related note that might help or hinder: My ATI Radeon 9800 Pro had hideous problems with the latest 7.x series of drivers - Direct3D won't even initialise properly, and Standoff OpenGL mode would have the consistent slowdowns in the gameflow and menus. I rolled back to an older driver...

Will the phase-transit cannon be available in the WC Saga game along with the ship?

Well, if you don't need warming up, I'm sure you'll go through the first three episodes in Rookie mode in less than no time ;) Of course, switching back to Nightmare once you reach Episode 4 for the intended effect...

Could you kindly tell us what version of WC2 are you trying to play? Is it the Kilrathi Saga version? Or are you trying to play the original DOS game? If you're playing the DOS game, are you using a DOS emulator such as DOSBox? Also, you might want to try looking through here first.

I haven't personally tried it, but some people have reported in the past that VMWare has better performance.

Have you installed the Virtual Machine Additions in your guest Windows 98SE? This will give you improved performance. (See the VirtualPC help for more details)

Likewise, no appreciable performance differences or problems with the two patches.

The new lighting and shadows are looking really good! Are you using any soft-focus or motion blur on the new renderings?

Finally, Standoff that displays properly in 1080 widescreen and (presumably) 32-bit colour with my ATI card! :) I must restart the game at some point to really enjoy the cinematics. Thank you! I found the OpenGL performance to be quite playable, except for the odd pause when I am in view of...

I like the amount of planning and research you've done to support the modelling. Do you do this for a living, by any chance?

Thank you for keeping us updated. Much appreciated!

I suggest purchasing a copy of the Kilrathi Saga collection if you don't already have it. The WC2 audio and music set there is easy to extract, as the sounds and music are in simple 16-bit PCM format. The only problem is that the unique music from SO1/SO2 are missing.

Congratulations on this beautiful mod. Well done! The visuals and the sounds are very polished, and the previous video previews definitely don't do it enough justice. Just some quick notes and two requests: The mod installs and runs fine as per the readme file. I've also managed to use...

What CPU requirements do you anticipate? I'm achieving less than 10 FPS on my Athlon XP 2700+ (2.17 GHz), Radeon 9800 Pro, resolution set to 800x600.

The Diligent class is essentially the same as the Drayman, except that it is a tanker. Would it be redundant in terms of the proposed RPG? Your call. https://www.wcnews.com/ships2/wc1diligent.shtml

I think the bits of ship "disappeared" because the nebulae background was probably composited after the 3D rendering, and the alpha mask on the 3D layer have "leaked". Nonetheless a good start. The amount of exaggerated slide and movement with the Hellcat avoids the "runs-on-rails" look. How...

If I'm flying in the WC2 game engine, the Sabre would be my choice due to its gun loadout. But if this is Standoff we are talking about, then I would like the Epee with its discreet profile.

NZ is already one of the most bike-rider unfriendly countries in the world :(

That's exactly the reason the Prius is my favourite rental car within NZ - the near-silence and the big windows add value to my sightseeing experiences. It's usually quicker than the average 2.0L car from a standstill, but starts to show the lack of power when accelerating on a highway on-ramp...

With that configuration, do you switch the shields down one level during combat? My favourite gun loadout on the Centurion is also 4x tachyons, after finding out that the mass drivers in Privateer don't quite feel the same as WC2.
