With this page, i aim to create an area with resources to be used byfans who are interested in editing Wing Commander games. However, if thisobjective is to succeed, i'll need everyone's contribution.If you're interested in editing Wing Commandergames in any way and want to make your work available for other people (whichcan be very useful for the Wing Commander Editing community as a whole, which i'm intested to see expanding as much as possible), send them tome (mbrito@student.dei.uc.pt) and i'll put them here. You will be credited foryour work, of course.

Course Description: This is a basic/introductory level course for personnel expected to augment the JFACC in an afloat or shore-based Joint Air and Space Operations Center (JAOC). The course also meets CSG and ESG training requirements out lined in the NWP 3-56.1(Rev A.). Training is tailored to TACRON, CVW Staff and CVN Strike Ops personnel.

  • Military and Family Life Counseling Program Air Force Partners. Air Force Historical Support Division Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Det. 332 Air Force Departmental Publishing Office Secretary of the Air Force Office of the Inspector General Navy Partners.
  • Anne Furman, right, accepts the 193rd Special Operations Force Support Squadron guidon from Col. Scott Harron, 193rd Special Operations Mission Support Group commander, Pennsylvania Air National Guard, during an assumption of command ceremony May 15, 2021, at the 193rd Special Operations Wing in Middletown, Pennsylvania.

WC1 ship file format - A file describing how the ship's images are encoded (wc2, Academy and P1 ships and even some Armada images are encoded this way). Inlcudes C code of a WC1 ship image reader. You can download several image viewers based on this info from the Files Page.

WC2/Academy speech file format - A file describing how the speech is encoded. It holds enough info for a VOC to Academy speech converter. You can download a converter based on this info from the Files Page.

XTRE Format - This information file will explain the XTRE format, which is the TRE format WC3 and WC4 use.
Mario 'HCl' Brito - Aug 15th 1999

XTRE File Extractor - Source CodeWill extract files from WC3 and WC4 TRE files. Credits for the 2 uncompressing algorithms go to Origin, since they were taken from WC3.EXE. The file compile.bat assumes you're compiling with DJGPP.

Movie decoder - Source Code - These routines allow decoding the VGA chunks of WC3 FMV files. The code was recreated after studying WC3.EXE

Privateer 1 - TRE Format - This information file will explain the format of the TRE files Privateer uses. This is the same format WC Armada and Strike Commander use.
Mario 'HCl' Brito - Aug 15th 1999

- Wing Commander Armada -

Nothing so far, although some Privateer 1 stuff can (probably) be re-used in Armada.

- Privateer 2 -

Privateer 2 - IFF ExtractorThis small C program will extract IFF files from BIGF IFF Archives (which are TRE files in every way). The BIGF format can be understood by looking at the source code and comments, so i probably won't write a text about it.
Mario 'HCl' Brito - Aug 21st 1999

Privateer 2 - zlib unpackerThe P2 BIGF Archives use zlib to uncompress chunks (it's quite interesting that they choose to compress particular chunks instead of the whole IFF). Click on the link to get the libraries, which can be used freely according to the authors. I'd still recommend you to read the Copyright notice tho. My small C program simply detect the 'Def!' string on the IFF and uncompress the chunk accordingly using zlib (after the 'Def!' string you'll find the uncompressed length and the compressed length, each of them is a type long).

WingCommander Prophecy - 3D file format - This txt file describes the WCP/SOmesh format. However, there are a few unknownvariables there... should anyone want to figure them out, let me know
Mario 'HCl' Brito - 12 Nov 1998

WingCommander Prophecy - CRC generator - This function (which is more important than you may think at first) calculates the CRCof the variables and functions used inside missions. My mission compilerswere prepared to calculate the CRC of 'qwerty' when it finds a @qwerty@.Important detail: functions get their least significative byte replacedby the value of the size of their arguments.
Example: the CRC of the new WC:SO function SF_CAM_TrackPivotis 0x97f07f0c. It takes 7 parameters (x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,time), so the finalbyte would be replaced by 7*4 = 28 = 0x1c.
So, the function SF_CAM_TrackPivot v8 v9 10 v11 v12 v13 v14 would becompiled to 0x97f07f1c 0x00000008 0x00000009 0x0000000a 0x0000000b 0x0000000c0x0000000d 0x0000000e
This C code was created after studying a routine of PROPHECY.EXE

WCSO-RIP File Extractor - Source Code - The source code of the WCP file extractor, for the most curious people. Credits for the uncompressing algorithm goes to Origin, since it was taken from PROPHECY.EXE. The file compile.bat assumes you're compiling with DJGPP.
Mario 'HCl' Brito - May 23th 1999

Wing Commander Prophecy - TRE Format - This information file will explain the format of the TRE files Prophecy uses. Secret Ops uses the same format, as it's basically Prophecy with a few modifications.

Movie decoder - Source Code - These routines allow decoding the video present on FMV and comm files. The code was recreated after studying PROPHECY.EXE (download also these tables)
Mario 'HCl' Brito - Aug 23rd 2004

DISCLAIMER(s):
The uncompression routines were taken from the games' EXEs with the solepurpose of allowing us to study Origin-made files (missions, ships, etc) which were compressed (editing WC3, WC4, Prophecy and WCSO would beimpossible without doing this).These routines were created by, and are Copyright of Origin Systems Inc.
Here you will *NOT* find any info on how to bypass Origin copy-protections norwhere to find pirated Origin software. If you're looking for that, go away, you're lookingon the wrong place.
