Hi Everyone.
I've got a little project i've been working on for a month or so now. It's more or less another privateer remake, but this uses the games original data and scripting to run the game on windows (or whatever OS you want to compile it on).
This could probably be adapted to suit wing commander 1 & 2 and strike commander. I think the games use a similar engine & data formats. However i'm not too sure as I dont have the games, so I cant examine them.
I know there is the vega strike remake project and dosbox for the rest of the games, however I'm doing this more out of interest than anything else. (and privateer is one of my all time favourites)
Currently you can't do much of anything at the moment. It just lets you move about the various bases in the game.
It requires the games TRE files, and works with both the CD and Floppy versions.

Right now i'm trying to add support for the xmi midi, and i've recorded the midis from my synth so you can hear the music as it was supposed to sound (not the way the sound blaster butchered it ) and i'll add support for an add on MP3 pack sooner or later.
If there is interest from other programmers we can make this a sourceforge project and see if we can't recreate the original game.
