While I'll always love WC, I think Freespace did a lot of good by using a slightly different format. WC had essentially become - Launch > Auto to nav point > fight > Auto to nav point > Auto to nav point > Fight >Auto to carrier > Land. Not saying I didn't enjoy this, but with Prophecy and the...

Is is me, or does she (facially) look a lot like Eric 'Wingman' Petersen (but way more in shape!)? Esepecially in that second pic!

Season 1 is not just about the world building, though it helps a lot. Though you likely won't notice much of it on the first run through, there is SO MUCH foreshadowing. I've seen the whole series maybe a dozen times. Every time I come back to it, I spot something new in season 1 that...

I wonder how far this could potentially go. Could cockpits be updated?

I would expect the limit is how DOS and Windows (and so the two different versions) handle memory usage. There may be a hard upper limit on both but one that is more restrictive in DOS. Another thing that might be interesting is seeing how many different ship types (original sprites) you could...

I've gotten behind in keeping track of this project. I just want to say a massive 'well done' to you delMar. I'm really excited by this project. Part of me is a little sad that I never actually completed my own project, but in truth, while I may well have gotten something useable done, just...

Disregard my last. Re-downloading it seems to have done the trick

I tried installing standoff tonight on my Win 7 64 machine. Windows complains that it is not a 64 bit application. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hey man, I didn't take it as such. It's all cool over here :)

Awesome

Moved from the other thread... I've only been looking at this for a few minutes, but I'd like to suggest a change if it is possible. I love that the sections open in tabs, makes it easy to switch between stuff. However it is a pain the tabs scroll off the top of the right hand pane. Any chance...

Apologies for that Shades. It is a constant source of annoyance to me too, if that makes you feel any better.

If you could provide the full readout of that mission debrief, that would help greatly.

I'll have a look when I can print that out at work (I work better that way) but I have an inkling that I might be on to what some of those unknown variables do.

Okay, one of the biggest challenges you will face if you want to make new missions is the briefings. When WC1 came out the size of files was very important, they needed to be as small as possible. The upshot of this is that there is no spare space between lines of briefing dialogue. For example...

Okay, here's some files... The first one 'fullmodule000.txt' is me taking a full dump of the file in ascii and trying to organise it into recognisable blocks, in order to visually find patterns (I'm useless at getting computers to do that and so am relegated to the hard slog of analysing data...

Interesting reading. I'll have a look to see if I can find the source code for my stalled project (WCE). It's not pretty code at all, but if it helps at all, then I'm more than happy to do that. I would be VERY interested to see if you manage to solve what I could not; What piece of data tells...

The project stalled for a few reasons. First was the rewrite of the code. The main program started out simply as an exploratory poke at the MODULE.000 file, to see what I could find and see if an editor was possible. It grew as I tacked stuff on and ended up with the interim release that is...

Has anyone ever tried or even done this? I once managed to get through the Vega missions of WC1 without dying. It was back on the Amiga, so there were no secret missions or sequels to carry on with. I'd like to try this again soon.
