to all of the Wing Commander fans and friends! -ALS

Actually, with a change to only several lines of code, WCP runs under Win2k just fine. The reason the shipped executable doesn't work is there are a couple of issues that need to be fixed regarding WCP's memory management and memory initialization that seem to work fine under Win95/98. Without...

It's not worth it. That "number" is also used to know how many bullet types to allocate (memory-wise). One would have to know how often in the code that "number" was used, and where to change it. What you need is a new executable with the feature added, but that can't happen.

Unfortunately, no. The bullet file stores an actual number of bullets which the exe file checks to ensure that the correct bullet file is being used. Believe it or not, this was to prevent hacking. This is too little too late, but the exe should have asked the bullet file how many bullets it...

Darnit! I forgot to mention again that this applies to Prophecy and Secret Ops. -ALS

A hardpoint is a named 3x4 matrix of 12 32-bit floats, in the order X.x, X.y, X.z, Y.x, Y.y, Y.z, Z.x, Z.y, Z.z, pos.x, pos.y, pos.z. The left-handed coordinate system is used, with positive x to the right, positive y up, and 'looking' along positive z. A transform at the origin would be: 1,0,0...
