I did think, when posting my last reply, that I hadn't thought to ask Mario. I'll have to email him. As for one of the programmers, could you nudge me in the right direction? :)

Wow, strict rules for marriage over the pond!! ;)

That is mine. The reason it has stopped is simple. I'm trying to identify what it is in the mission code, that tags ships as mission objectives. I know how to set up nav points, ships, wing instructions, mines and all that. I'm not fully certain on the briefing branching code yet, but until I...

If someone can suggest a way to get amiga format files into a PC readable format, then I'll definitely have a quick look at it. In the perfect world, this could actually work inside an afternoon! The files I would need to look at are the ones listed in my previous post.

If the module.ooo, camp.000 and briefing.000 files are the same for both incarnations (and I see no reason why they could not be) then yes it would be possible-ish. You'd get no cut-scenes (which wouldn't really be a problem for story telling purposes), but the missions and bar talk should be...

Doesn't sound completely legal to me, but I guess it must be to have passed through the publishers legal department.

I started at WC1 on the amiga and each game onwards was more and more immersive. For a game (and of their time) they were stunningly good compared to their contemporaries and I too was utterly consumed by them. I guess loving the game as well as the universe makes a big difference in how you...

This really is nothing to do with the British press loving or hating wing commander. This is about the reviewer and some standards he has that differ from your average game reviewer. Richard Longhurst previously worked for a publication called Amiga Power (the legend that it was). Amiga Power...

I'd guess they mean that it is cheesy in regards to what is possible today, where at the time it was mind-blowing. For the record, I personally don't think it was cheesy, but I can see how someone seeing it years later could think that.

Top stuff. I shall have a nice read of this. When Euro 2012 finishes, that is

Eight man confed fighters?

Hey there, With the updates on the main page the other day, I searched a few threads and read a few of those articles. They are thoroughly absorbing reads. The only issue I have is that they are not the easiest things to find. Yeah I can wade through the results of a search, but these articles...

Weird that, as the colour makes it look more like a Border Worlds uniform, but the confed star is on the arm.

I think a reboot would be a mistake. It would be easy enough to tell a new wing commander story without you *needing* to know all the history, but it also being cooler if you *do* know about it. If they did set it in the 10 year gap, to the uninitiated, pilots like Angel or Maniac showing up for...

I think the ten years between WC1 and WC2, would be the ideal setting for a new game. We have almost no idea what happened in this period, so you could do almost anything.

Forget the KS! I remember crying inside whenever I clicked on the 'secret missions' option on the Amiga game menu and it said they were 'coming soon', but never did. I longed for them AND for WC2. When I eventually got a PC, it was a 486DX4 and came with WC2. I remember loading it up without...

Thanks for the info :) It's always nice to see people get around legal problems, without also opening the door for hordes of torrenters gaining an advantage too. The complexities surrounding this is probably why I was under the impression that you had to own FS2 to use FSO. I would imagine...

I have a question about legalities, so this would probably be as good a place as any. Having followed the FS2Open project for many years, I believe that in order to use the SCP engine, they require yu to own a legit copy of Freespace 2. Given that WCS uses a modified FS2 engine, how do you get...

This is great to hear. I can mod my joystick commands accordingly :)

As someone who cut his teeth on an Amiga... I don't know what sales were like, or even what most Amiga users thought of it. Before the internets, it's difficult to guage opinion like that. I would say that I found it mesmerising. Moreso with an A1200, some fast-ram and a Hard Disk (or 2nd...
