Privateer or WC?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 10:31 pm

I loved both games when I was younger. Spent many a late night dodging work... Its great that this community is doing this.

My question: I very much liked Privateer, but I woulld like to 'play out' privateer in the larger setting offered by WCU- So should I download WCU? Or just privateer? IE: does WCU also have the privateer plotline and trading/merc premise inside it? With all associated missions and campaigns? Or should I stick to privateer?

WCU right now is an add on to the privateer remake, so yeah, it has the Priv plotlines.

If you want to experience the exanded universe you should try out WCU. It does have all the plots and locations as Privateer, plus more. Caveat: it is still under development, but you can help out by testing things.

Now that's not true. You a pretty good job on the WCU patch.

Go to the WCU thread in this forum, download the archives (you'll need the big graphics file if you didn't have a previous WCU version), put them in a fresh copy of Priv, and start a new game

If there's any problems post them here.

Also, most game code files are easy to edit with a text editor.

you can always post your wcu patch to the files section of sf.net/projects/wcuniverse
just login then click admin then click releases

will help people who are interested find something

many a person has already e-mailed me asking how to install your ship pack, and instead downloading the old (0.3) version of unconverted ships hosted there

excellent:!

now get tortoisecvs as recommended

and use your spiritplumber ssh address to import your sources to
spiritplumber@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wcuniverse

command line should be

cvs -dspiritplumber@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wcuniverse import wcu foo bar

and yes both foo and bar matter

Matter as in I have to type them in? (don't think so)

I tried that for a lark and uhm, same result as before.
