Whoa, this feels like royal treatment now ;) Upping AC3filter gains by +7.5 does it for me, movie sounds are now on the same level as ingame dialogue. Thanks folks, again.

Back in my schooldays I looked into the English, German and French versions (with the excuse to improve my language skills while playing, yeah yeah) - and while the French one is rather funny and often inaccurate, the German dub is very close to par with the English original, and very well...

I agree. Even after having become a little bit jaded about the game industry, replaying WC IV (or any in the series) and seeing the amount of detail, the little things that don't matter but make the game world come alive is amazing. The crowd scenes in the bar or during the house meetings show...

Just tried a quick reinstall w/out uninstalling it first - installer runs smooth and recognized that all files already were in place, shortcuts get configured accordingly, but no luck with the DXMCI tool yet, same W32 error. I deleted the start menu entry and had the Installer create a new one...

Way to go Chris - I watched the web version, and it comes across as fun, relaxed and even a bit self-ironic. Not the least bit "look what wacky hobbies people got" that I was afraid for ;) Plus my very own and only Soaker gets a zoom&pan at 1:34.. So what's next on the ladder to fame?

Gah, sorry, forgot to tell that in the fist post: I'm testiting with a German WC4 version (that always worked fine with other patches, also Gulikozas original one), so I forgot. Effects on a non-English WC4: - Movies in English (logically) - Inflight dialogue, comms etc. in German - Menus...

The full bilinear also does an afterimage effect when going into an autopilot sequence - the ships swing by the screen and drag phantom images after them. Not disruptive, rather neat.. - gives an impression of high velocity.

Thanks for the help, Pete - but Win7 64bit steadfastly refuses to run the DXMCI tool due to non-Win32-ishness. But the flicker is no big deal really.

Also testing - on a Dual Centrino 2.53MHz Win7pro64bit Laptop with Intel Mobile4 Graphics. What can I say, it works fine - after stopping explorer.exe and alt-tabbing in and out to get the keyboard working. The only quirks I noticed up to now: - There seems to be no sound in transition...

Did you try using sol_hsa's patch?

Great work, Sol - in the years, my eyes got a little tired of the harsh pixelization in the original, so this gives the opportunity to go smoother. Thanks a lot for the effort. I'm testing the PC_Gamer WC1 version with ddhack03 in Win95 mode on a Dual Centrino 2.53 / 8GB / Win7pro 64bit laptop...

Best wishes and all the idealism and power for the years to come, guys :) It's been fun 10 years to tag along for me, hopefully I get more time in the future..

You've got the handling right - controls "feel" good for a ship that size. For your texturing questions: I guess it might help the folks here if you describe what kind of model you are using, and what software you have for texturing it. Get technical, someone can handle it.

And, featuring prominently: The breakout bar from Arkanoid in top left. Now I'll have that music in my head for the rest of the day. For the Y-Wing replacement I'll raise you a C64 Mercenary glider against your Asteroids triangle... Ah, and Samus Aran from Metroid is in there somewhere..

DSO has been released in 2006 for the PC by Ascaron/Ubisoft, now the Label is re-releasing the game for the Xbox.

At least they take an interest in what you do. The criticism is normal: Boys need to find something that they can be better in than good ol' dad - so that they can shatter that illusions of omnipotence dads tend to build around them. Just admit to them that it's the best you can do, and that...

So the students and their Concordia were going to Montevideo. Not the best place for a ship to go anyway...

Sorry Chris, been offline for a while. I'll see if I can get in contact with the model creator.

Has somebody gotten in contact with the German model builder to share some thoughts over here? Would be interesting to have a kind of an interview.

Done. The service looks nice, they just need more taste in selecting games - or more money :)
