Any chance you guys will support this game?

I 2nd that! Would also like to see support for WIC.

From what I have read it would be a good addition.

Making Cortex more robust is ideal.

I just got the game today and there is a dedicated server application. So I believe that i365 shouldnt have too much trouble turning this into something for cortex. This would be great to have and I 2nd the request for WIC.

I am going to pick this game up this week and check it out. Will also be offering game servers by the end of the week if anyone is interested.

http://www.vetwebhosting.com/WiC.php

Got my servers up and running. I added some bots to the server so I can practice because I am lost trying to play this game.

Edited - Dedicated Server Information. Takes up 100 MB of RAM and sips CPU. I currently have a server running with bots and people in it and the CPU is barely being used.

I played the Demo. Loved it, and then I played the Demo again.

Just FYI if anyone wants to run this game. It requires DX9 installed on the server to run in the dedicated mode.

The key criteria for making any game Cortex available are:

• The game must have a dedicated server program
• The game cannot require a 3D card in the server
• The game must be able to run without the game CD in the server's drive
• It's helpful if the game or mod is controlled by a flat text configuration file, but not necessary

If WIC meets all of this criteria I can get this to our Cortex developers and see if its already on the list or if we can add it to the list. Let me know!

PD2

It does PD2. The server config file is wic_ds.ini. The only downside is it requires DX9 installed on the dedicated server. It does not require a vid card but for some reason it calls on some dx9 dlls at startup. Did that to 2 of my dedicated servers.

Example wic_ds.ini>>>>>>

Thanks Doc for the info on this. I haven't had any requests for this game server yet from our clan but I like to keep the options open.
