If you chose THAT name there won't be a problem (because I will unpack a few files and if you pick a name that I've picked you might lose the backup). (Default location is "C:\Program Files\Kilrathi Saga\wc1".) Find the file called WC1.EXE and rename it to WC1_OLD.EXE.

It only mods for WC1 mind you, not WC2:įor safety, go into the directory where you have KS installed, and go into the wc1 directory.

But please let me know if anyone wants this, it's basically "unpack the archive in the directory where you have wc1+sm1+sm2 installed".

When I get through SM1 and SM2 I'll likely mod for WC2 as well, unless I get bored and do it anyway of course. Reason why I haven't gotten further than I have is simple : I am currently playing SM1 Back in the days I remember playing WC1 on my Amiga, but I never really had the pleasure of playing the rest, nor SM1, etc. I also noticed something else - I can't play WC2 from KS on my XP machine, but if I rename WC2.EXE to WC1.EXE it runs, as if the compatibility settings are broken for WC2 but when you use the settings from WC1 it works.Īlso, one naturally must go in and set compatibility options for the files or else it won't work that well. It's really simple to do and I could just write the instructions here if someone prefers that ? Or is it totally uninteresting? (I've so far only modded for WC1).
What the bat files do is basically rename WC1.EXE to something else, then rename the correct file (wing1, sm1 or sm2.exe) to WC1.exe and execute that, then rename it back. (And written appropriate bat files) - is anyone interested in this package? I got the game recently and I started playing around with settings, etc and I have done a slight modification to it to run bat files instead of the exe files. Hence, my request for that database Unforgiven wrote about 5 years ago (!) I just think it would be much more elegant to just somehow "update" the WinXP compatibility settings to accept these extra files It's of course possible to write a batch file that will take care of all that renaming. You have to rename the files again which is rather a pain. You only have to "do it once" for a particular add-on but if for example you're done with SM1 and want to play SM2, Something I have been unable to repeat on my own (which simply means I'm not savvy enough!)ĬhrisReid: Yes, if you rename the individual files to WC1.exe resp. Seems like "Unforgiven" found a way to export or extend this compatibility to the above-mentioned files, They never thought about making the same settings apply to SM1.exe, SM2.exe, WING.exe, SO1.exe and SO2.exe. So Microsoft added Wing Commander I & II to their database but stupidly enough only included the files WC1.exe and WC2.exe.

The way I understand it, the compatibility update for Windows XP ties settings to a particular file name.

It seems WinXP stores information on how to treat WC1.exe, and I was wondering, can I tell WinXP to treat sm1.exe the same way, or am I stuck with renaming files? Now while the renaming workaround works, it's far from elegant. The cursor just moves to the bottom of the screen and stays there. Running SM1 with the original filename in Win95 or Win98/Me compatibility mode works, but my joystick doesn't work anymore then (Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback II USB).
I expect the same to work for the character transfer program, although I haven't tested that yet. And indeed, if I rename sm1.exe to wc1.exe, SM1 works perfectly. Replaces wc1.exe with a menu app to select wc1 or sm1īecause WC1 itself didn't work anymore either, I decided to try renaming wing1.exe back to wc1.exe and it worked again. Renames the original wc1.exe to wing1.exe.Ģ. And WC1 itself doesn't workĪnymore as well. immediatelyĮxiting the application at the campaigns menu. Not work, showing the same symptoms as WC1 originally did, ie. However, the WingĬommander 1 addon Secret Missions 1, downloadable via the EA ftp site, does Took some steps and it does work now in Windows XP. In Windows 2000, Wing Commander Kilrathi Saga did not work at all.
