    Save Archive: Privateer 2: The Darkening (April 19, 2026)

    Sort of, but it won't be worth it. Privateer 2 is Dos or Win95. If you're running it on a win3.11 system you'll be exiting or running the game in DOS mode regardless of if you launched it in windows. The one thing that running the game with Windows 3.11 running in the background that you...

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Unlimited + HD Movie Support

    Odd... Casey's lines are in the same batch as the ship computer and simulator audio in the non-disk-specific speech.tre. Try copying that particular file back to your install from your German version

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

    You should be able to deactivate the transition videos by going to the options from one of the onboard terminals (same one you use to save/load).

    WING HARD (Difficulty Adjuster, WC1/2)

    Wing Loader probably expects the Kilrathi Saga version which is windows native. In general the GOG version runs in Dosbox and WingHard is designed to run in dosbox (from farther up in the thread "WINGHARD is written (and compiled in) Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 in a DOS environment to run natively...

    Enhancement Patches for Wing Commander III, IV and Privateer2

    Don't worry about it. There's no "English only" rule here, though generally speaking changing halfway through a conversation is a little awkward. It's not that hard to translate stuff these days anyway though. It's two clicks on my PC for most content. It's easy to forget that not...

    After Action Report: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (February 27, 2026)

    Simply sharing a couple of actors isn't really the kind of connection we're talking about. In the outset LOAF mentioned a "clear behind the screens quote". Star Trek as a whole definitely had an influence on Wing Commander, but for the most part, in our movie club series the films and shows...

    Heathens! Heretics! (February 22, 2026)

    I suspect you might need to tell Blender what type of file they are... While it's a 3D Studio file it's an old one so you probably need to import it rather than drag and drop. I'll try it out a little later and see what happens. EDIT: I'll have to look at this more tomorrow. The various 3DS...

    Heathens! Heretics! (February 22, 2026)

    IIRC the archive of the P2 models stores ships separately from their textures. The textures are in the "maps.gif" zip included in the archive. If you open the 3DS file you can get a list of the required textures, but you can get them to show up anyway by just having the textures in the same...

    Enhancement Patches for Wing Commander III, IV and Privateer2

    No, the 3DO uses a different format than all the other games, and while work has been done towards that end, there's no currently available tool to do this. The people that have put up footage of the game are generally speaking screen-capturing an emulator or capturing the output from a 3DO...

    Enhancement Patches for Wing Commander III, IV and Privateer2

    The patch should recognize MP4s as well.. You just need to make sure the actual filename part (not the extension) matches. I haven't looked at the setup I have here in a while so my memory might not be 100 percent accurate, but in general you don't need to re-encode it as a VOB. though...

    Enhancement Patches for Wing Commander III, IV and Privateer2

    You can already do this. If you have the current highres/dvd patch for the game you should be able to replace the videos in the movie folder with your upscaled ones. You need to make sure the filename part matches and you're good to go.

    Wing 1: Is there a guide identifying the sleeping pilots?

    A lot of bars are more pub-like around here. They're lunch places that also server alcohol and become more "bars" as the evening goes on so I don't see it as so odd really that a place that calls itself a bar serves food.

    Rock Out Wing Commander III Style (January 22, 2026)

    I feel like Fabu is probably this group - a 90s Detroit R&B duo: Searching youtube music also did come up with their bigger hits but not on an account by them. Eventually I came across one of the singer's instagram accounts here https://www.instagram.com/iam_janine_williams/?hl=en and...

    Moron Writes Article (December 9, 2025)

    The "New Script" is almost for certain referring to the post shoot edits that happened, but with a minor caveat: Every movie shoot ever makes script tweaks and adjustments while shooting. Sometimes those are very minor to address some continuity issue, but especially when there's a super short...

    There's a featurette that only appeared on some of the European DVDs IIRC, though I think it's also available on the EPK (electronic press kit) that I think is available somewhere on the CIC. I also have it on my youtube channel but I swapped out the background music with game music, and...

    You Don't Mess with The Maniac (December 10, 2025)

    I think that's exactly why everyone is coming to his defense. The comment is so out of left field that you would think he had run over Tarantino's dog or something. It's one thing to rag on A-listers that are kind of wierd but also immune to such critcism, but with Lillard it just feels very...

    A Woman's Place is the Tri-System (November 30, 2025)

    Some of the dev team was a bit salty about her involvement and felt that she mostly gave things a cheesy dialogue pass.. I'm not sure that's really true at all but it's also possible that the game designers had fleshed out a lot of the story and gameplay structure before the narrative part was...

    I actually do not like the black space in WC4... but the blue in WC3 is also way too light in general on modern screens. You used to be able to adjust the brightness (and I want to say you were kind of expected to) of the background colors a bit with the old knobs for contrast and such on old...
