    Wing Commander Prophecy Definitive Video Pack 4.0 Released! (October 11, 2020)

    I assume you have wide-screen monitor, as most people do these days. The original Software, Direct3d and Glide renderers are hard-coded to 640x480 resolution which is 4:3 aspect ratio, so the video will just slot within that resolution, meaning it won't stretch to your monitor's full width...

    Wing Commander Prophecy Definitive Video Pack 4.0 Released! (October 11, 2020)

    In game, hit Escape, go to Options Menu and de-select Interlaced Video check box (bottom left on the first page). That will remove the interlacing. The deinterlacer option in the ini is only for the original DVD 'VOB' files that were released first. The VOBs are in 60i interlaced format so...

    Wing Commander Prophecy Definitive Video Pack 4.0 Released! (October 11, 2020)

    Some have had problems with the wcphr getting the movies to work. Try the wcpunl b6.4, but don't get the opengl from here as it is only a patch for existing installations and won't work by itself. You'll need to replace the prophecy.exe with the one in the package as well as copy the...

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Unlimited + HD Movie Support

    Another update. This fixes black screen on Windows 10. Some other background stuff, separate thread for the video processing to prevent stuttering at lower framerates. Work has been done to improve the original .VOB files, de-interlacing, increased framerates, less CPU intensive dithering for...

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Unlimited + HD Movie Support

    It's no bother at all. I have a few changes I want to make anyway so it's an interesting challenge for me. Stay tuned. Oh, and thanks for the kind remarks!

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Unlimited + HD Movie Support

    Actually I think for @TCSTigersClaw the wcphr.dll player is working, but skipping the video isn't possible. I'm not sure if it has always been this way or not with hcls player. Thanks for the link though, I might see if hcls player will start working on my system as i haven't seen it working...

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Unlimited + HD Movie Support

    At the moment I'm just trying to understand where the problem is. Understand there are two high res movie players now, HCLs in the wcphr.dll and my own in the wcpunl.dll. My player will kick in before HCLs. I've designed my player so if it fails to load a movie it will 'fall back' to a...

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Unlimited + HD Movie Support

    I am guessing the original dvd are also failing in the unl and it's actually 'successfully' falling back to HCLs player. You wouldn't get problems with skipping the video if wcpunl was playing. To confirm, can you delete or rename wcphr.dll in the wcp directory and try again please? This...

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Unlimited + HD Movie Support

    This is weird. Having thought about it, it sounds like the unl is trying to play the movie because the subtitles rely on frames being received out of the player. If the player isn't sending out frames then subtitles won't work. What is weird is somehow the movie player is initialising...

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Unlimited + HD Movie Support

    What is your os? I know there's been problems on Linux with Proton. Turn on movie subtitles. If the subtitles are sharp high def fonts then it's still using HCLs hd movieplayer. If subtitles looks like in game fonts then it is the unl and it's failing to find the right codec. Odvs v4 pack uses...

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Unlimited + HD Movie Support

    Thanks for the valuable feedback it is appreciated. Regarding the Open GL, as it isn't made by me I'd missed that you need some extra dlls for it to work. So it is a requirement that a previous version should be installed first. I'll update post soon, I'm working on a couple more minor...

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Secret Ops Model Update Pack

    Actually, I recall a previous Discord conversation with @DefianceIndustries I provided a fixed version, but I don't think there's been any new packages since. Try this. Oh and if you do another WCP stream, try the new unlimited with the high def movies. I'd love to see it working elsewhere...

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Secret Ops Model Update Pack

    The crash is being caused by the wild weasel panther. Go to the SHIPS folder and delete/rename PANTHEWW.iff to something else.
