I started poking in Fabian's code and was able to get the ship viewer to do a few tricks (mainly with rotating the ships). I'd be interested in working on it if someone else could get the file format parts going. I was hoping to make it into a general WC3/4/Armada engine.

I love the timing of this. I literally just fried Jazz in his cockpit last night after a full play through of WC2/SO1/SO2. WC2 I think had the best story of the main series. Privateer will always have my heart for gameplay. The characters and drama of WC2 just take it to a whole new level for...

Hey all, I found a bug today while replaying WC2. I was playing the GOG edition, Enigma B : Strike mission. I got a torpedo off at the listening post and then had my target track destroyed. Rather than suicide/eject and reload the mission. I flew back to the Concordia. Angel met me on board and...

I'd like to see this done, but with the universe news system generated by player actions. "A Privateer intercepted a Pirate raiding force this week in the Gemini system, a confederate spokesman insists that Pirate forces are an outlier. blah blah blah

Hi guys, I'd like to request the CIC interview any of the Wing Commander Privateer composers: Laura Barratt, Marc Schaefgen, Nenad Vugrinec. I don't think we've ever heard from any of these people about the music they've made. Privateer was one of the best games in the series and the soundtrack...

With this level of information about the engine, doesn't it become feasible to rewrite the entire game? This would allow it to run on any platform, and would allow for enhancements such as a full speech pack based on Super Wing Commander or the Megadrive version...

I love this

To be fair there was anime influence on Wing Commander 1 and 2. More readily apparent in 2.

hehehe I had this on a cd, haven't touched it since I bought Privateer 2 Deluxe off ebay.

Excellent work. What I'd like to know is, since the Vision engine has been reverse engineered/extended so thoroughly. How close to being able to rewrite the engine accurately are we? I mean at some point we're hitting limits on texture resolution and computer screen resolutions. Eg on a 4K...

I donated on Fundrazr and received an email. However I donated at the highest tier on Fundrazr (signed score) so that could be why...

The kickstarter ends in 64 hours. Definitely looks awesome. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/309114309/infinity-battlescape?ref=nav_search

Does this make the Key generator for Secret Ops Legal now?

SWC on MAC uses the Apple (from 1994) equivalent of MIDI to make music. Quicktime Music. I tried for a while to rip those tracks, sort of at the conclusion that you'd need to playback/record the midi which is a shame. I'd love to get a .mid file out of Mac OS so I could re-render the SWC Music...

In Wine try setting ddraw to gdi instead of OpenGL in the windows registry. I found that that fixed a lot of compatibility issues with Kilrathi Saga and WC4 DVD. There should be a way to wrap the MCI stuff in wine. I had some success with it years ago by installing codecs etc in wine.

Considering that Derek Smart has been trolling the Freespace/Freespace2 community for years. I wouldn't even bother listening to what he has to say. I'm honestly not fussed with Star Citizen taking more time etc. I've been involved with a project of similar scope previously and it takes years to...

Here's some pics.

Hi guys, I've been experimenting with Fabien's Strike Commander remake engine from: http://fabiensanglard.net/reverse_engineering_strike_commander/ I've been able to build the engine code (had to make some modifications to add includes etc) and now have a partial implementation of the Strike...

I've been able to play the music using mplayer on Linux, I also tested with rhythmbox. I haven't tried on Windows, but I haven't done any conversion on the audio files. They should just be the raw wav that the game had.

I extracted the music from the Kilrathi Saga version of Wing Commander 3. I have placed it on Mega for people to download. https://mega.nz/#!xtNj3RSK!6ZXpsjl5cel1sK4hkZNdpyPSq21I13EgNfS5fO4nq1c The music in Kilrathi Saga was not in midi audio format but was compressed wav files.
