Wing Loader (KS/WCDX) Loader & Voice Over Mod

Hello, I'm following the instructions of this message but I'm not getting the speech in Wing Commander. I have read the rest of the thread and noticed that they don't play if you don't load the game through Wing Loader, but I'm doing that and still no voices. Not sure how I can fix this?

Firstly, thank you Destro for your excellent work on WingLoader!

I thought I would report a bug that I seem to be having though.
Every time I try and launch the Special Operations for WC2 through the launcher, it just seems to run the base WC2 program instead.
I can run the SO1_wcdx.exe and SO2_wcdx.exe files from the directory manually just fine, but the loader does not seem to want to run them.

I am using the latest 0.92 version that is linked here, and have followed the associated instructions with only a few exceptions:
1. I have installed the game to "D:\Games\WingLoader\Wing Commander II" (though Wing1 doesn't have any issues with the secret missions and it is similarly installed to "D:\Games\WingLoader\Wing Commander I")
2. I extracted the files from the GOG installation executable using innoextract.exe (to avoid needing to install), though it would seem all files are present.

My quick testing of WC1 and WC3 seemed to work just fine, so I only have this weird quirk with WC2.

I haven't started a WC2 campaign yet (was testing them all before starting to confirm the patching worked, etc) but I didn't think I needed to have a pilot to start the extra missions. Aside from that I am not sure what else might be causing this issue.

Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy lately. 0.92 had an issue with WC2 but the link on my post should be updated with the hotfix. I'll relink here. File name should have Hotfix in it. Just overwrite any Wing Loader files.

If that is not the case. When you attempt to run WC2 what appears in the Debug console? Does it give you an error message?

That is correct. The audio is actually playing from inside Wing Loader and not the game itself. Wing Loader peeks at the games memory and when the line comes up it plays the matching audio, so without Wing Loader there will be no voice overs.

In regards to it simply not working even with Wing Loader running. Is there any message in the debug window when you try to launch the game or when you should expect a voice over to play?
 
Hello. Thanks for answering, but not to worry any longer. This was a problem I was having with the SDL2 applications not correctly setting up the audio driver. It was also happening me with certain games running in ScummVM. I fixed the problem by resorting them to load DirectSound and that solved both the ScummVM issues and also the Wing Loader one.

I'm glad to hear that it's working now. Thanks for the update and have fun! 😛

Hi Destro,
Thanks for linking the Hotfixed 0.92. Guess I missed downloading this originally.
I can confirm that this fixes the problem with loading the secret missions for WC2.

Thanks for the help!
 
Destro , what about the updated on wc3w and now wc4w. I have to reinstall again to patch it ?

No, you shouldn't need to re-patch. The patch just adds the windows files needed for the games so as long as you didn't uninstall the game you should be fine. So the steps should be,

1) download game via gog or EA play.
2) patch with Wing Loader to add the windows files.
3) apply Mash Enhancement patches.
4) update Enhancement pack files when new updates rollout.

I haven't updated the install instructions to include WC4 so I'll do that sometime this week.
