    Pete's game making chronicles

    Cool, thanks for posting this. I only understand a small bit of that, but I'm in a computer course now and I'm pretty fascinated by these things. I can see some of the similarities between C++ and Java there.

    That looks like a pretty impressive computer rendering. The sun seems to be shining a bit too brightly from the second hole in the warehouse ceiling; almost equally as bright as in the main opening. The lighting is also too balanced. The parts that are facing away from the direction of the sun...

    What to get her?

    Flowers are safe and most girls like them. Most girls like chocolate even more. I wouldn't sweat it too much since 13 is pretty young to be dating. I didn't date until I was 18 or so. It may be better to stay friends at that age; much less hassle and problems.

    Bengal-class strike carrier?

    For those who are really eager to see the Bengal-class strike carrier in action, you can just fire up Unknown Enemy. It's still a great game even though it's not as current or polished as Standoff. Has there been any progress on the new Standoff episode? A mission or two completed or...

    Introduction to Wing Commander

    I remember the first I heard of it was as a kid reading Nintendo Power magazine. I thought it looked like an awesome game. I remember reading about how you could talk to different pilots and some of the other features. Since the article wasn't close to Christmas or my birthday I didn't ask...

    Prophecy Hi-Res Issues

    Thanks anyway Wedge009. I found an old thread: http://www.crius.net/zone/showthread.php?t=22852 where Dundradal was having the same problem. He re-installed Prophecy to get it working again. I guess I will try that. I also have both regular Prophecy and Prophecy Gold discs, so maybe one of...

    Prophecy Hi-Res Issues

    I tried taking the movies folder out and replaying the cruiser attack mission, but it still had the same fatal error and message just after Blairs talk with Casey ended at the start of CD 2. I certainly noticed a difference though between the hires movies and the regular style. Maybe I can...

    Prophecy Hi-Res Issues

    I recently installed the Hi-Res patch. I was on CD 2 of Prophecy. During a scene with Blair the game crashed and displayed: Iff::Iff open file 'gameflow/mouse_f.iff' not found and not optional Then I tried to start Prophecy again and the error said: Iff::Iff open file...

    WCP/SO Mission Builder: Self-Destruction?

    I didn't know your Dad was a REALTOR and didn't mean to imply that he couldn't have done a great job raising you and it sounds like he did. My Dad was in the Air Force and was and is an airline pilot. That has a worse reputation for being tough on families than even Real Estate. He would...

    Thresher Shark? I Just Met Her Shark! (December 8, 2008)

    The picture to the far right of that post looks the best. It looks like a june bug with a main set of wings and a smaller second set. If you could flatten the ship and just have the nodes popping out to the side, it would really create a unique alien look. The side views would then show a...

    Confed Military Organization Clarification

    I know that Confed has local "militia", would this be similar to our National Guard or is it more like police departments?

    A question for the Standoff Team and HCI

    I was getting ready to read the tutorial on modding through the Unknown Enemy link, when I realized the Standoff guys made a bunch of advances since then. Could some (one?) of you folks make an updated tutorial including those advances? It would be a shame for all your hard earned knowledge to...

    U.S. Congress is dealing with Killer Asteroids

    That's not a bad idea; I wish we could re-direct most of our government money that's going to weapons and social programs. If it's even possible, we probably have centuries to go before we could even colonize our system in self-sustainable city size populations. We have problems like...

    WCP/SO Mission Builder: Self-Destruction?

    I'm preparing to take a few computer courses. I'm a REALTOR right now, but since I'm getting married and want to have a family, I don't think it's the best career for raising children.. the late nights, phone calls at any time, and commission only income. My friends and family who have...

    WCP/SO Mission Builder: Self-Destruction?

    Sorry that this is an old thread that I'm bumping here. I've been interested in figuring out how programming works for the games and came accross this thread. I was reading the tutorial on http://killerwave.solsector.net/Wcppas_Sample.htm. When you scroll down to Wingman_2 the coordinates are...
