    Save the Behemoth.

    There was probably existing intel on kilrah's planet that suggested it was unstable. Until the confederation cracked the cloak they couldn't get any specific data. The cloak was just as necessary as the development of the t-bomb itself. They could've seen the initial data on kilrah and started...

    Best way to play Privateer 2 these days (Win or DOS version)?

    I'd recommend the dos version as from what I remember the win version has no spaceflight music. It sounds really nice on an awe64 but could use dosbox's sb16 emu just as well. (don't remember if priv2 supports ultrasound)

    So... cockpits...

    Yeah, I read where you said Saga's changed quite a few sexps. Someone'll have to look through and run a comparison on the source if/once it's released and see if it would be feasible to just modify the missions to be compatible with FSO or port the RTT improvements (and others) when they're...

    So... cockpits...

    The hud would have to be redone anyway to work with the cockpit. The only other major thing I've heard they changed in Saga was the Autopilot. That's already in trunk, whether it's the same implementation I don't know. The way the shields were rendered were changed too I think. Merging the...

    Wing Commander 3 problem

    I see what you mean, if you hold down alt and slowly switch through any current apps you have running it will show those until you release alt. (only with aero) I assume the display priority is overriding other apps kind of like when you tell vlc to always display on top.

    the same file is on the other five disks, just copy it directly to the folder you're installing wc4 to from the other disk

    Wing Commander 3 problem

    Well, which version are you using? Dos, Win native, KS edition, with or without ddhack? Which OS (I'm assuming windows, which version?)

    So... cockpits...

    And of course, just because they're not in the game now, doesn't mean they can't be added later.:D It's as simple as editing the tbl files and adding them in. (I think) I'll try leaving a message over at the Diaspora section of the HL forums and see if they've managed to get it down (and if...

    So... cockpits...

    I was just looking at the Hard-light forums to see if anyone there has had some insights before I delved any further into this. Judging by one particular video released by diaspora I'd say they've already done it. (RTT that is) Either that or that was an awesome animation, with the head tracking...

    Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome

    LeHah needs to get laid Malcom. Just ignore him/her. Reminds me of some of the civilian contractors I've worked with before. Thin skinned. It's fiction that's being discussed here. Not something that has concrete proof behind it, like every religion recognized by the US department of taxation....

    So... cockpits...

    I was just looking at some of the hud code in the main fso svn 3.6.14/code/hud/hud.cpp, unless they went off the wall from some of the variable name assignments it looks like some of the framework has been laid for RTT. I'll look into it some more and see if this is indeed true or not and get...

    So... cockpits...

    I'm just wating for an autostereoscopic tv and a set of AR glasses I can use in conjunction with each other. You were referring to the helmet BAE Systems is trying to make for the f-35 correct?

    So... cockpits...

    Yeah, without it you would have to model the cockpit around your specific hud setup which wouldn't work with a floating rendered cockpit model (pof file I believe?). It would have to be like all the old wing commander games and be just a static texture overlay in itself. Pre-rendered art if you...

    GOG Service Streamlined (April 1, 2012)

    Usually too much icing, muffins are better! EDIT: I liked South Park's semi-satire of the History Channel. To bad it was so close to the truth.

    GOG Service Streamlined (April 1, 2012)

    All joking aside, I don't really mind it if they start offering to host indie games. As long as they still continue to focus their efforts towards adapting old games to new os's and/or packaging them with dosbox and some nice extras I find it to be a welcome addition. I do hope they don't...

    Problem starting up WC3 using Vista

    Try using Ultrasound instead if you want. You'll need to use the files found at this site. http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=16974 gus=true gusrate=44100 gusbase=240 gusirq=7 gusdma=3 ultradir=C:\ULTRASND these are the settings I use in dosbox.conf for the ultrasound catagory just...

    Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome

    On the SW topic, I find it to be a mute topic, done to death. But Episode 1 in 3d=great. Binks swatting you in the eye with his tongue in theaters again? Really? Meh. Will I buy a set on 3d Blu-ray when Lucas starts loosing his extra chin? Probably.

    Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome

    I liked the beginning of the '05 series even though some of the character choices rubbed me the wrong way in the beginning, one in particular. There was quite a bit of action. While I don't agree with every ship having the same computer system or os or tracking software (pick any one) and the...

    Saga Download Tally (March 29, 2012)

    If you think on it If you went with cg fmv or scripted real time sequences, and artwork for background flight scenery (like planets and nebulae) there'd be quite a bit of assets that wouldn't need to be made in comparison with a good fps or rpg. If you had an existing engine or a licensed one...
