    Flight Commander is a space combat game in the style of Wing Commander. The Flight Commander engine was programmed from the ground up, and comes with a graphical mission editor. It is designed to accomodate easy modding, using standard formats for images, sounds, and 3d graphics. All game stats can be changed easily with a text editor.

    For the more advanced missions, scripting is done with the user-friendly but powerful lua scripting language. All scripting commands are well documented, and many examples are included for a variety of missions.

    Downloading now, sir! :cool:

    I can't wait to see the briefing scripting in action!

    As for my bar conversations, I'm working on it. I don't know if I need a special file in the FC directory to play movies, but as far as I know, I modified my shotglass conversation movie in Virtualdub so the audio is the same length as the video.

    And next up, FC 1.6.13 :D

    Nice. So the main changes from the Alpha are the new briefing options and gameflow advances?

    Wow, I'm going to have a look at the briefing tutorial but... my computer died so it'll be a while before I can fiddle with it.
