    Hmmm, I have just documented the shape data structure/language, and it would be possible to parse this with some simple python. I'm happy to post (or PM) the details if anyone fancies a bash.

    Alternatively, I could have a go with the dosbox debugger and try to dump the points array straight from memory.

    Possible, yes, easy, no. I'd have to think long and hard about the best way to do it. Probably by ripping out lots of the existing input/cursor code, ditto all the audio and interrupt stuff, and then running the existing code in an 8086 emulator with input fed down and the 16 colour VGA buffer being copied and scaled up to the real display.

    Of course, there is always this.

    Hi Ian,

    That's great, could you dump the co-ordinates (x,y,z) on screen for each craft so I can then generate 3d images directly in an ACAD package from which developments for creating models could be produced (i'll post photos online when done!).

    You mentioned that you've now rebuilt PC Carrier Command from source (using wine on Linux) and have run the .exe in dosbox, have you resolved the major sound difference between amiga and pc version at all? If so could you make it available for download?

    Cheers,

    Anthony

    Hi Ian, I join fellow CC veterns and salute you for a turely emersive and enjoyable game that time just stopped when playing! I noticed that if the carrier was reversed into a corner of an Island, the buildings could be blasted from the cannon - was this a purpose made cheat (and does the enemy carrier do this or is there simply a time period related to the enemy carrier once it enters landing range of an Island)? I'm kinda sorry I found it as it made the game allot easier than sending in the air attacks! I wasn't aware the PC version had a time warp, whats the significance of it? I had an ST and CC was the best game by far in my collection (and still is most memorable game to date, in fact just recieved an original PC version from ebay with tape, but 5.25" discs!), fond memories, thanks!
