I was wondering if there was anyplace where I could get all of those original bitmaps used in the game? I've seen utilities that can extract them, but seeing as I don't have the games, it's no use to me.<br /><br />My reason for wanting these is I was maybe going to try my hand at drawing up some decent 3-views of some of the ships.<br /><br />Can anyone help?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />B.J.<br /><br />(Oh, and if anyone thinks that this would be wrong, i.e. stealing artwork or whatever the term is, feel free to whomp me upside the head.) <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Cartman</b> <br /><small>Member # 256</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2004,7,6,9,16,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 06, 2004</span> <span class="timeformat-0">09:16 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Wing Commander I and II are both abandonware now (which is legally a gray area, but with Origin's disbandment by Electronic Arts some time ago I don't think there are many violable copyrights left), so it shouldn't be too hard to track them down on the web. Failing that, a pretty good resource for WC material is the <a href="http://www.wcnews.com" target="_blank">Wing Commander CIC</a>, if you go politely about asking for it. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Omega</b> <br /><small>Member # 91</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2004,7,6,22,1,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 06, 2004</span> <span class="timeformat-0">10:01 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Underdogs used to have Kilrathi Saga versions of WC1 and 2, not sure if they're still there or if the editors work on the files. The WC1 ship editor doesn't work with KS, I know that much. Of course, that'll depend a lot on whether you have broadband or are willing to spend lots of time downloading. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />It's a bit off-topic, but I'm currently working on a Wing Commander Armada clone. If you're interested, there's a thread over at the CIC forums under fan projects. Help would certainly be a Good Thing. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
