It's half working, the hooking is working and it is seeing/accessing the joystick. WINE is complaining about some missing functions. This error I believe is the root problem: 0148:fixme:dinput:JoystickWImpl_SendForceFeedbackCommand No direct actuator control in linux Every time you fire the...

I've tested the patch, it's not working when I run Prophecy. I'm on a Linux PC running WINE. I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 Joystick. When I run Starlancer in WINE Force Feedback works correctly. Wing Commander Prophecy/Secret Ops work with DLL Injection mods in WINE so I'm not...

We really should port Super Wing Commander to PC.

Any chance this hack would work on SecretOps?

I tried running Prophecy/Secret Ops in WINE recently. I got playback to work but yeah fullscreen video (HD Mod) was completely broken. I'd be interested in looking at the Force Feedback support in Prophecy/Secret Ops as I have a Sidewinder Force Feedback 2. What I really want to do is mod WC3/4...

There's no sourcecode available for the Wing Commander games, there's already a method for DLL injection documented at hcl.solsector.net.

There's a stillshot of the blair/paladin concordia shot from wc3 on imdb.com it's way higher resolution than anything in the PC/Console versions of the game. Makes me wonder what would be possible with an SGI machine (I have a working O2 here) and the original materials.

What happened to the master tapes for Wing Commander 3? Did EA lose them?

HD Remaster of Super Wing Commander? Or Armada?

Starlancer works perfectly in WINE on Linux, including Force Feedback on a Microsoft Sidewinder FF2.

Nice Australian copy of Kilrathi Saga.

Do we know which missions/locations these craft were meant to be deployed in?

Um... we have a way to get the videos working in Wing Commander 3. Simply Hack the Kilrathi Saga/Windows 95 Executable for Wing Commander 3 using HCL's .EXE hacking method, and call an external video player rather than the WC3 internal one. We can also release a Windows 95 upgrade pack for WC3...

Whatever happened to the WC3 master tapes? Were they recovered when the EA archive team happened?

I've found some fun things just tinkering with the toolbox. A lot of WC3's ingame audio is able to be read in Audacity as raw audio in unsigned PCM 8-bit Mono 11025hz format. I've been able to extract all the sound effects for in space, as well as the speech audio. There also appears to be text...

We should be able to use HCL's .dll hijack method to hack Privateer2's windows .exe file to run an external video player. The same should be possible for the other WC games' Windows versions to get remasters done.

100% the toolbox already runs on Linux. I don't have any windows PCs anymore. I am extremely interested in an MVE encoder. The two resolutions it will need to support are: 320x165 - For cutscenes from movies.tre / cdXmovie.tre (Assuming someone wanted to make a WC3 engine mod/new game with a new...

I've hacked a copy of Wing Commander 3: Kilrathi Saga using a hex editor so it now only looks for data files from the hard drive (wc3.can instead of wc3.con). I'm investigating hijacking the Xanlib.dll file to support other video codecs. One other thing I think we should look at with the AI...

Getting modern video codecs into WC3 is simple enough to do with the Kilrathi Saga version of the game. HCL put up a document that explains howto hijack a windows executable and run your own code. WC3 to Win9X patch for changing DOS editions to Win9x requires four wc3music.tre files (the bar...

I've got a 40/20 internet link here. Getting the file out will be fine, the harder thing is getting a readable file. I've already extracted the .BUN from the 3DO cd but I have no way to unpack that and get out the individual files. if HCL could jump in, we could get this solved pretty quickly...
