    Wc3 In-Game Capship Armaments

    I'm pretty sure the Victory fires a couple CSMs at the Asteroid base in Delius 3. Admittedly it's been a while since I played the game (and I haven't had my personal laptop with me for quite a while, so I can't easily help you verify this) but, if memory isn't failing me, i think the missiles...

    Hellcat cockpit in the WC2 style

    Indeed we are :D Frankly i'm still amazed at how good the Armada models end up looking in WC2/WCA. They are pretty low-res by any standard, maybe around 300 polys or less... but the sprites are low-res enough themselves that it doesn't really show (that, and our brains end up extrapolating...

    Hellcat cockpit in the WC2 style

    Definitely, i'd love to import ships into Privateer some day as well :) From what I remember, the format is pretty much the same, or very very close, so I think it would be trivial to adapt this script to import new ships into Privateer! (the palette needs changing, the packaging might need some...

    Academy Gauntlet

    I'm always somewhat hesitant to plug my work in an ongoing thread, as such derailing might not be considered good etiquette... In this particular case however, since i think it's relevant to the topic, I'll just go ahead and go on a quick trip down memory lane :) I remember being just as...

    Meeting for a coffee?

    Hey thanks so much for a great time Martin! So glad you managed to stop by the office on short notice, it was really great getting together and chatting for a bit. Most fun i've had all week, for sure! :D Hopefully we'll have the opportunity to meet again in the future, either in the US or in...

    Hellcat cockpit in the WC2 style

    Just as a quick update: I haven't forgotten about this. I've just had to take care of some personal issues (again, unfortunately this ends up being a recurring thing), and that's been eating away at both my spare time and my energy. The good news: I've began to slowly reclaim some spare time :)...

    SO2 Sabres

    Ohh good one! Going by memory: As I recall, the trick is on ALTSHIPS.V02, which defines alternate ship stats for SO2. If you take a peek at that, you'll see a bunch of alternate stats, such as the no-missile Epee used in WC2, alt-stats for pirate Crossbows armed with Particles and Neutrons (for...

    Hellcat cockpit in the WC2 style

    I'll probably be digging up some files soon, just need to get organized a bit :P Hopefully i'll tell you more soon

    Preserving Modding Tools

    Good initiative here! Feel free to mirror my files as often as you'd like :) A sync to some repository here in the CIC would be nice though, I like to think if I need to search for anything WC-related, even source code for old WC tools, I'd be able to find it here :) This sync could be...

    Meeting for a coffee?

    Hey, sorry i've been away, things are just so incredibly busy ... :/ Btw, i'll be visiting the San Francisco Dropbox office again, will be in SF from the 9th to the 30th. So, seconding delMar here, if anyone wants to meet for a cup of coffee, drop me a line! :)

    Spending some time in San Francisco

    Thanks guys :D This has certainly been an interesting experience so far! I'm flying back on 17th, so I'll still have some time to look around a bit. First time in SF (heck, in the US at all!), so i'll see what tourist spots i'm able to visit until then :)

    Spending some time in San Francisco

    Hey guys, Happy new year! Sorry for the general lack of progress on my projects. I basically had a lot of going on in my life in the past few months and ... well, long story short, I decided it was time to change jobs again. So I quit my job in the Portuguese Telecom industry and ended up...

    Complete WC GOG fixes and tweaks

    Did you overrite renderer.cfg when unzipping the package? I added a few more parameters to that file on this version, and the exception you're getting are apparently related to failing to read those new params. This is more or less known: i don't see any kind of flash in my machine, but i do...

    Privateer 2 patch issue - Game freezes on landing

    Ok here's a new build of the patch! (I'll update my site tomorrow. In the meantime, i'm attaching it to this post). Let me know if it fixes the issue you're having. Change list from previous version: - I tweaked the mouse DirectInput wrapper a bit, so it now re-acquires the mouse if it is...
