Cool!
I'm looking forward to the Nephilim, especially how your rules will deal with the Ray cluster and similar stuff.
But... you don't really think cat-sniffing is as bad as kickstarter, do you?
At least we don't want your money!
What exactly is MED, and more to the point, where can I download it (if anywhere)?
...it's far clunkier than the more recent fan made stuff.
Well, the main tool that fans use is WCPPas. At its heart, WCPPas is intended for scripting missions - you write a mission in a Pascal-like language, which the compiler then turns into IFF files that the game can understand. However, apart from compiling, WCPPas can also decompile an existing IFF file (though not always properly) and recompile. And the thing to realise is that most files in WCP are IFF files, even if they sometimes hide behind different extension names (rom, sec, mis, mat, etc.). Ships? IFF. Missions? IFF. Room files? IFF. Meshes? IFF. Textures? IFF.Such as?

Oh, yeah, I guess it is actually called WCP Pascal . Anyway, glad you found a working link - I'd forgotten that Thomas' website has been offline for years. Keep in mind, it's a powerful tool, but it's not at all easy to use. So take your time, don't try everything at once.Is this something different from WCPPascal? I ask because the download links to WCPPascal seem to have all rotted (at least the ones at CIC have; I haven't tried Google yet).
EDIT: Never mind. There was a good link at WCPedia.
Looking forward to playing around with this...
