What you need to do after making any changes is go into the IFF tab and compile the IFF file, not save the .WCP files again. Also, as I said, once the model is in modelC, there is absolutely no way to rotate it at all. You need to make sure your model has the proper orientation (+Y=up...

ModelC can scale models, but it cannot rotate them. You should rotate your models before getting them into ModelC. The way the vision engine works, +Y is upwards, and +Z is forward. To scale a model just type the scaling factor in the proper box and press scale. The model's dimentions in WCP...

That is just plain awesome. Can you make a Scimitar? :p

The pirates (or was it the Retros?) say a lot of "damn", some wingmen (Longshot? Stingray?) say "shit" in some comms, but those are the only in-flight things I can think of right now. There's some f-word in the talking head cutscenes, but I don't think it's overdone at all... so I'd be...

Well, this is the kind of feedback we're always glad to receive. :p I'm glad you like the game, we do try our best to make sure Standoff captures the feel of the first WC games in every little detail from the art to the comms to the music. Yeah, Ep 5 is the last part of this story. Standoff's...

Here, I think these are the latest drivers for you... if you could try them and let us know if anything changes, that would be ideal. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-41918 We aren't actually dropping DirectX support with episode 5, but we aren't optimizing...

Do you have all the latest drivers and such? Do you have problems with any other openGL games?

Have you tried contacting HCl? He's the only one who has done any work with the older games, I believe. I also remember there was an old audio editing program that could play Privateer sounds, but I don't remember if it worked for WC2 as well. It was called Game Audio Tool or something like that?

Well, it will include any ships which we've already modeled - so no Thunderbolts or Hellcats... the reason for this is also technical, as we already have more different ship types in the object viewer than the limit of different types which can be invoked from within actual mission code (which...

I ended up writing too much for today's website update, but Standoff tradition means I have to quote everything here... so, behold, a whole lot of text!

Pedro thinks it might be a bug indeed, but he also says that fixing it might make the briefings considerably slower because of the way the wireframe models are drawn (this has always been a problem, most of our capships have special even-lower-poly models for use in briefings). We'll see what...

There are a bunch of good non-WC space sims, most of them are a bit old... I can't think of any recent space sims except X3, but I can't recommend the X series at all, it's more like a spreadsheet simulator in space. Independence War (1 and 2) and Terminus are pretty good. Freelancer and...

To get new models into SO, you need ModelC... it's available from Thomas Bruckner's page (with a warning about how it is "very technical" :p). It reads a bunch of .wcp files and compiles then into an IFF. And then you need something to create the .wcp files in the first place - you need either...

...what if the last mission forces you to land, or blows your ship up after 30 minutes? :p

Hmm, looks like after you force quit, you get stuck in whatever resolution you were playing at - assuming you were playing in a resolution that's lower than what your desktop is usually set to? Anyway, you can probably change your desktop resolution back after quitting the game so that you don't...

Nope, no autoslide in Standoff. No ITTS either depending on the ship. As for capships, taking out Bridge(s) and Engine(s) is required, and only torpedoes will damage those. Most (all?) components will go down in one torpedo hit. Other subsystems (Hangars, etc.) can also only be destroyed by...

If you want to get technical, Standoff takes place between 1407 hours, August 7th, 2668 and January 1st, 2669. :p

Hmmm.... seems it might be a mistake that has gone unnoticed for the past three years. :p

Use WCPPas instead, it can compile and decompile IFF files of most types, and is pretty self-explanatory.

Looking at higher res Banshee art, you will see that the cockpit region is built completely different. All they have in common is the overall shape from top biew, after you remove some of the Banshee's pylons.
