Direct 3d-patch for WCP

Hello folks! :)

For some reason the sight for the stormfire-cannon in wcp doesn't show up in direct 3d. (I have GeForce 256 DDR). Anyone knows a way to fix this??

I saw there was some direct 3d-patch in the files section but when I installed the game wouldn't launch at all...hmmm
:confused:

WC:P hates nVidia cards. Just something we have to live with. I suppose the best you can do is get the latest Detonators, and nVidia's site should have those. That probably won't fix the problem, though.
 
I wonder if there isn't a quick way to hack around this.... HCl got SO to run in high res, so if this is as easy as that, someone could try it.

I have that same problem. As a matter of fact, I have a Voodoo 3 graphics card, and the game freezes sometimes! Therefore, I had no choice but to play it w/ Direct3d. I think you can go to the command line that defines the Stormfire sight and replace it w/ a regular one (copy and paste the command line for that sight over the old one). That way, you will have a functioning sight. I did this on other games as well...for Jane's USAF, the F-4's JTIDS map didn't display enemy aircraft, so I changed the cockpit to the F-16 model. Also, for X-Wing alliance, I altered the commands to where I can fly a Super Star Destroyer! I have yet to do this w/ WCP, though, but it might work!:)
 
It seems several people suffer from the disappearing reticle thing. I'm one of them. Fortunately the "Full Guns" reticle is clear.
 
Thanks for all answers! :)

There seems to be no ini-file in my wcp-map, so overwriting the stormfire-sight with another one seems impossible... or is it???

Now that's sad. With a 3dfx chip WCp looks really best and you can't play it. :(

But cool things you did with XW:A and the other games.

With the risk of sounding totally stupid... Did you apply the Voodoo2 patch? WCP got a bug in the Glide driver so that it only works for V1 cards.
