The Wing Commander Universe und Privateer Remake Library

Editorial Note:

the Wing Commander Universe and Privateer Remake Library is the successor of the one-day-runner Privateer Remake Library. The library is still a work in progress. Please don't post in here. . Right now, the library is very unorganized, but I will work on it, whenever I can. Please pay attention to the fact, that some links in here may be quite old and may refer to older versions of the games.

This thread is thought to be a help for all newbies and veterans, who want to read up stuff.
It will focus on ingame-information such as: What to do in this difficult mission? Where to get a certain ship? I'm stuck in the campaign, where does it go on?
But there will also be technical information, if the questions were asked often enough. (Because I'm not very good in this matter

)
At the beginning, the Wing Commander Universe and Privateer Remake Library will be in most parts about Privateer Remake and a little about WCU. In the long term, the goal is to cover WCU, Privateer Remake and Privateer Gemini Gold.

Warning: Some of the thread-descriptions in the storyline section may be a little spoilerish So, pay attention!

Privateer Remake, WCU and Privateer Gemini Gold: What's up with this?

- Privateer Remake Homepage

- Privateer Gemini Gold Homepage
The Gemini Gold Hompage has its own forum. Most questions about Gemini Gold will be answered there.

- The thread which announced Gemini Gold 10.1

- This link answers the old question: "What is the difference between Privateer Remake and Gemini Gold?" But pay attention, there might be much opinion in there . Additional, it gives some information about WCU.

- In this thread, a member tries to compare Vegastrike and Privateer Remake. As you can see, he failed. Yet, the thread shows in a very nice way how people on the board see those two games.

- What is WCU?

WCU Wiki wrote: The Wing Commander Universe is a Blanket Project that covers ALL Wing Commander Projects, Including the Privateer Remake, Wing Commander: The Wasteland Incident, Gemini Gold and any other remakes or mods of the related to the Wing Commander universe. Wing Commander Universe's ultimate goal is to be able to play from the very first game all the way to the last game and beyond, in anyway you want. IT IS, NOT, AND I repeat NOT a Privateer Remake Extension. Do not confuse the two.

About Privateer Gemini Gold

- no links yet

About All Games

CVS Help:

- The official Vegastrike HowTos

- My personal experience with obtaining a CVS copy of the Privateer Remake

- This link is from WCU, yet it includes an Idiots guide to using TortoiseCVS which helped myself a lot

The information of all three links above should enable you to obtain a CVS copy of Privateer Remake
A t t e n t i o n: One more thing about CVS. Vegastrike itself doesn't use CVS anymore. I am not sure about Privateer Remake, Gemini Gold or WCU. The version you obtain this way might be very unstable.

Editing the Game:

You want to give you Centurion a funky new and personal paintjob? Thisis how you do it.

If you got suggestions or questions, post them here! (I don't run ICQ and MSNM most of the time (because of my lousy machine

))

Since I'm not arround much anymore, Dilloh volunteered to keep the Library up-to-date.

Good look, Dilloh!

Well, at least I wanted to add the mod control panel into this one just to save stickies. But yeah, I could also keep an eye on the library now that I have the permission.
