    Learn About Privateer’s Deleted Rufueler Truck (February 23, 2024)

    The insane level and attention to detail are why these games remain iconic 30+ years later. They created worlds that seemed to be bigger than what was presented to the player.

    Splendid WC4 Preview Includes Revealing Set Shots & Early Engine Demo (December 10, 2023)

    The radar display reminds me of the WC3 MFD backgrounds. Notice the grid patterns?

    Wing Loader (KS/WCDX) Loader & Voice Over Mod

    This is the link to HCL's DLL Hacking Guide I was able to hook wc3w.exe from Kilrathi Saga but it's loading my dll file every time the game loads a scene, doesn't matter if it's a cutscene, a mission or a screen on the TCS Victory. If we can get this working, it also opens the door to HD Movie...

    Wing Loader (KS/WCDX) Loader & Voice Over Mod

    Hi Destro, Are you able to share with me some information about your dll injection on Kilrathi Saga? I'm trying to develop dll patches for Wing Commander 3/4 for handling Force Feedback Joystick support. I'm having some trouble hooking the executables. I've followed HCL's hooking guide and I got...

    Wing Commander 4 DOS Linux : Failed loading MUSIC.TRE file

    If you have the WC4 DOS version, apply the Windows 95 patch and run it in WINE. It's platinum rated on the latest 8.11 WINE version. DVD edition sadly has some major issues with the cutscenes. I'll need to do a deep dive on it with the WINE team at some point.

    Confederation

    We know that Wing Commander 2 used 3D renders for most of the interior scenes, the Bridge, Briefing room, Hangar Bays, Thrakhath's ship and the Comms room. We even have most of the models. But there are many scenes were we don't have the original 3D art assuming it wasn't hand drawn. Privateer...

    Wing Commander IV DVD edition on Linux

    Hi guys, I've been doing some work on getting Wing Commander IV DVD edition (GOG) tested for WINE under Linux. I run Debian 12 Bookworm with WINE-7.21 and the game is basically fully working. I have the GOG DVD edition, it runs, joystick/keyboard/mouse all work. Cutscenes work correctly. I have...

    Wing Commander 4 modding

    Closest thing to a source port of Wing Commander would be libRealspace. WCRespace is a very very cool engine upgrade/remake project.

    Please suggest a Mac powerbook or Mac laptop to run SWC

    I started to write joystick support for SWC in Sheepshaver/Basiliisk 2. It works, but it only does X/Y and Button 1. I'd like to properly implement support for a complex ADB joystick e.g a CH Flightstick.

    My Money's on the Tbolt (September 20, 2022)

    Considering the Thunderbolt is a space superiority fighter from 600 years into the future vs Stargate's near future timeline, it's not that big of a shock.

    WC4 Remake

    Any chance of making the key bindings more like wc4? e.g Ctrl-O for options? I was stumped trying to find it before stumbling on esc.

    WC3 Win95 Patch

    The music change was they hooked up a roland Sound Canvas (SC-88) and rendered out the midi files as .wav audio, then they compressed it and bundled it with the game. If you play WC3 with an SC-88/SC-55 handling the music in DOS it sounds the same. The community could probably make a better...

    George Oldziey did create sheet music for the Wing Commander Orchestra albums.

    I've Created a WC4 HD Video Pack

    The Wing Commander 2 footage is pretty mind blowing, the AI managed to really re-create the details from the 3d ship models. The 2D animation imho was even more stunning. What it was able to do with Thrakhath's Armor is nothing short of stunning. Would love to see a WC2 640x480 remake.

    Is there an advantage to either of the versions of Wing Commander 3?

    The WC3 Win95 edition was released as a standalone edition in Japan. It's also possible to convert a DOS edition copy of WC3 to the Win95 edition. It requires the 4 wc3music.tre files from WC: Kilrathi Saga as well as the wc3w.exe file, and some .dll libraries.
