1. Wing Commander: Secret Ops. Wing Commander Secret Ops was a bold experiment in episodic internet distribution. Beginning in August 1998, one episode was released each week for eight weeks. New fiction and backstory was released on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and a corresponding mission pack came out on Thursday.

The Kilrathi Saga version of Wing Commander must be installed (the DOS version will not work). If the installer doesn't see the installation, see Secret Missions won't install. Secret Missions 1.5. Secret Missions 1.5 is the name given to the Super Wing Commander version of the Secret Mission addon. It's actually quite different from the original. Towards the end of 1998, Wing Commander Secret Ops was a released freely over the Internet for a limited time, with missions being released in a weekly series of seven episodes. A stand-alone game, Secret Ops is the sequel to Wing Commander Prophecy featuring game-engine rendered cinematics and several new missions expanding the Prophecy story.

For the Mac OS remake, see Super Wing Commander.

Notes

1. ↑When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
2. ↑File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS and/or PC booter game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to <path-to-game>/cloud_saves/ even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in the cloud_saves folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).

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.

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.

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
