Great vid :D

"This is a powerful ship. There were none like it when I began my search..." I humbly suggest shelve it (and other novel details) for later releases once the mod has been publically released for awhile. You probably have enough on your plate already and I woud hate to see scope creep...

The screenshots look cluttered here because most FS2 displays are not persistent, as somebody else pointed out already. WC3/4 system damage reports for your own fighter are in percentages, so it suits what FS2 does just fine. IMHO if the "two large brackets" in the center was deleted...

You'll probably find that the .CON files only lists file names under different headings rather than the full paths.

If somebody has the required disk space, here's something they can try for WC3 or WC4: Burn a DVD image comprising of all the CDs of the game. But modify the WC3.CON or WC4.CON file with a text editor - there is a list of which files go on to which CD. Change it so that all files belong to...

An immediate question pops into mind - would it be possible to patch the prophecy game code to play those dvd vobs instead of the usual movies? Or will the prophecy dvd executable be released and hi-res patched?

Actually these special ships are stored in the ALTSHIPS.??? files so the usual editors won't open them. You can change them manually with a hex editor - and yes, there is a special Hobbes' crossbow that has two particles and two neutrons. Also, the crossbow that Thrakhath flies have phase...

VMWare server is actually free - and it allows you to build a virtual machine. http://www.vmware.com/download/server/

The station is looking great. Now that is is reclassified as a more major installation, would it be appropriate to add a second "ring" of storage tanks? For pure "gas stops", would you consider hidden, one-use, unmanned fuel caches inside asteroids? I'm imagining something like a roughly...

..or just refer to it as "Pioneer"? Will the station have a gigantic Monolith Burger sign sticking out of it? ;)

Here is an updated version of the patch, which includes Skanks' fixes for WC3. Enjoy! (As usual, rename .pdf to .zip, or until an admin places a direct download link :D)

Prophecy with VOB files? *shivers at the prospect of ever diminishing hard drive space* :D

Just some scatter-brained notes: 1/ I'm imagining that paths will basically become a series of coordinates in 3d space that the AI ship will try to reach in sequence? If for example the maneuver is a corkscrew, a slow ship and a fast ship will end up doing an identical corkscrew? Perhaps...

Try upgrading the video card driver, then DirectX.

It will be hit-and-miss, but you'll definitely need to activate the "compatibility mode" tab in your file properties... Please find the instructions below (astute readers will see that I've "stolen" it from a standoff FAQ) I'll also refer you to this thread, which contains more interesting...

Hi, Just wondering if Eddie would like to divulge a bit on how the current AI works at the moment, and any roadmaps for its development going forward. If any future AI state machines can be lua scripted, I think it will be a godsend to the mod makers... :D

I'll add the use of the navmap for 1. situational awareness purposes, and 2. as a "napmap" because you can take a break from the action. Some purists may not like to use it though.

I just observed that the "loadfix" command inside the [autoexec] section isn't quite correct... It should be used in-line within the command to run the WC2 executable. (Play around with the number if you get out-of-memory errors) eg. mount c c:\wing2 c: cd wing2 loadfix -32 wc2...

Very succinctly said, AD. If one ever thinks that this policy is too harsh, remember that it is always better to err on the side of caution. I won't be surprised if lawyers on IP enforcement are being paid on a bounty system, hence the trigger-happiness against even the most minor things...

This just goes to show how new I am around here ;)
