A second demo with the first four missions is also about to be released. So stay tuned.

Ok - tried this out - seems to have some tech issues. I can't get past the intro. The model of the Tiger's Claw isn't rendering properly (i only see the weapon turrets and the engine glow) and after the fighters attack, the ship doesn't explode and the mission won't continue.

That's because the Bengal's textures are in TGA format.

That problem can be fixed by using a newer FSO build to play the campaign or by enabling the -jpgtga flag in the launcher.

I'll convert the textures to DDS and send them to Deathsnake to include in the next version of his WC2 Campaign.

I think he would apprechiate it.
Btw can you us another favour please? I've found your WC2 Strakha ( http://download.wcnews.com/files/fans/kc_swcscimitar_wc2strakha.zip )and Deathsnake needs it in POF-Format. And he also asks if he may use your Exeter and targeting cross.

Will do.

And thanks to you Wedge009. Without your instructions, how to convert WC2's music and voices ( http://wedge009.net/wc/wc2/ ), Deathsnake and I couldn't have used them in his WC2 Demo.

Also following ships are still missing:
Cydesdale Transporter
Strakha MK1
Bloodfang MK1
Dorkathi
Kamekh
H`hifra Modell . Flagship of Thrakhath
Supply Depot
K`tithrak Mang
And he also wishes to use Woolie's Confederation-class model

Oh, the Kilrathi Saga music is very simple to extract. It's stored without compression.

New update. I'm going to quote it from HLP.

You mean, you wish a remake of Standoff on the FS2 Engine?

Ah.

Btw talking about Standoff: This is for the Standoff team: Since we need more models and since you have most of them, is it ok for you if Deathsnake uses them in his WC2 Remake? It might be for your advantage since it could be promotion for Standoff.

You can use the Standoff models as long as you make your own textures for them.

Thank you.

UPDATE:
A teaser trailer has been uploaded:

Another quoted update from HLP:

Maybe I'm just being an idiot, but what is this supposed to mean?

I install the 3.6.12 build from here:
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=70692.0

then install prologue from here:
http://www.wcsaga.com/downloads/files/releases.html

do we need a wc3+4 demo? (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=71644.msg1421088#msg1421088)

or just install the wc2 demo as a mod onto that?

why do we need the build if the prologue contains it etc?

The Prologue contains an earlier version of FS2SCP's exe. This newer one is needed. And WC Saga is standalone. And I don't think that the w3+4 demos are needed but I recommend that you get them anways.
And you have to install the prologue first and then the Inferno build on it. And you'll have to install the WC2 demo as mod.
Btw there's a new build: http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/274550/wc2demo-7z.html

So i get that inferno build and install it to the same folder as the saga prologue? then install the mod?

Correct. I'd recommend making a new folder in your WCS Prologue folder called "wc2demo" and placing the WC2 Demo VP files in that folder. You can then activate the WC2 Demo campaign by selecting the wc2demo folder as a mod in the launcher.

And don't forget to select the Inferno-exe in the launcher.
