I've got a 40/20 internet link here. Getting the file out will be fine, the harder thing is getting a readable file. I've already extracted the .BUN from the 3DO cd but I have no way to unpack that and get out the individual files. if HCL could jump in, we could get this solved pretty quickly...

I'll see what else I can dig up in terms of game footage. I also have access to the 3DO copy of the game. Might be able to get another source of video to cross reference with the PSX clips.

This is one of the promo shots. I can only assume the entire game was originally rendered in this resolution and then compressed down. I know there's more pictures out there. These are from IMDB. But I've seen others. There's a promo catalog that's on the Privateer CD that has more...

Can you enhance the AI algorithm by inserting keyframes? E.g say you were to photoshop some of the images to provide a higher-resolution source material. Can the algorithm blend those enhancements into the video? (from the Youtube clip one of the obvious things is the glyphs on the Emperor's...

Do you want the Super Wing Commander Macintosh speech files? IIRC those are in RIFF format and are easy as pie to dump as wav. No conversion artifacts either.

Has he tried the Super Wing Commander Macintosh audio files? They're pretty easy to extract. Happy to provide them if they want to test.

What's great about these is they really help bridge the gap from Wing Commander 2's art style to Wing Commander 3. It looks like Wing 3 started out by extending WC2's visual style and then they've made a decision to turn down the lighting and make the ship look darker. I also like how the Hangar...

This is why I've always wanted access to the Wing Commander 3 original art files. I actually have a working SGI O2 machine at home with Power Animator...

That wasn't on a game console, that was a PSVR headset running on a Linux desktop PC (razer laptop with eGPU). Offically Godot supports Xbone, but hasn't got support for PS4 unless you go through one of the commercial Godot ports.

On Godot I'd add, that in about 30 seconds I had a VR compatible game scene running (on a PSVR headset no less) and in about 20 minutes I had a Concordia model, a cockpit that you could look around in VR, a flyable ship, and some space ship models imported and working.

Holy Hell this is crazy. PLEAAAAAASEE do WC2 after WC1. It's my favourite story. WC2/Privateer IMHO are the two best games in the series. Heck this makes it feel like all the remake project stuff I've worked on was just time wasted. Really cool work man.

Has anyone on here got a working example of FreeDOS running Privateer/Strike Commander? I've found a lot of old post/references online that talk about FreeDOS being capable of running Privateer but I'm struggling to find an actual configuration example. I am experimenting with...

Have you got the WC3 Zanart? I will pay you $200USD each for those.

I like the Privateer colour schemes for WC1/2 ships it's darker and moodier more like WC3. The WC2 military green has its place though...

Aw man :( may he rest in peace. Christopher's writing was a very enjoyable part of my childhood.

Finally the tool we've been waiting for! What language is the toolset written in? Nevermind, the toolset appears to run fine under Mono. I just dumped out all the Privateer speech.

Those models are used on the ingame map screen. If you bring up the navmap when you're on a planet's surface that's what you'll see.

I'm curious to know if we can hack Wing Commander 3 to replace the Destroyer with the Frigate...

Has anyone ever tried to install Wing Commander 3 Windows 95 on a PC with the Wing Commander 3 English tre files?

Arrays are how opengl handles geometry now. Graphics cards will generally only accept arrays which is why the speed up is so dramatic. Display lists are basically a dead design.
