Wing Commander in a Jar
AKAImBatman has taken HCl's old ship viewer tool for Wing Commander 1, ported it to the newer Java platform and added a bunch of features:
- 3D Ship Viewer allows you to view ships in true 3D space! Turn the ship using the arrow keys to see it from any angle!
- VR Cockpit Viewer allows you to explore the spaces of your cockpit with the arrow keys
- Export feature allows for graphics to be reused in fan projects (A remake perhaps?)
- File types are automatically detected
- Full transparency support
- Experimental full screen support
You need to have the Java Runtime Environment installed for this to work. The latest version and detailed information on how to run the program (and it's actually more straightforward than it may seem if you've never run a Java application before) can be found on the project's website. You can download version 0.2 of the program here. The source code is available if you want to make some changes or if you're interested in how these things work.
