----------------------------------------
by Matt Wells.

This patch was made to be used with the Windows 95 Upgrade Patch for Wing Commander 4. Which can be found here: "https://www.wcnews.com/wcpedia/Windows_95_Upgrade" at the Wing Commander CIC "https://www.wcnews.com/".
It requires Windows 10 or above.


Pre-Installation of the Windows 95 Upgrade Patch "wc4win95.zip":
----------------------------------------------------------------
 - for the DOS version of WC4: copy the "WC4W.EXE" and "XANLIB.DLL" from the "wc4win95.zip" to your Wing Commander 4 game folder.
 - for the DVD version of WC4: just copy the "WC4W.EXE" from the "wc4win95.zip" to your Wing Commander 4 game folder.


Installation of the Enhancement Patch:
--------------------------------------
Extract the contents of this zip archive to your Wing Commander 4 game folder.
The necessary included files are: ddraw.dll, wc4w_en.ini and vob folder.

You will also need the libvlc 3.0.21 dll's. A minimal install package can be found in the Releases section of the project page at "https://github.com/mattwells77/Wing_Commander_IV_Enhancement_Patch".

Extract the contents of the "libvlc_min_pack_3.0.21.zip" archive to your Wing Commander 4 Install directory.
The necessary included files are: libvlc.dll, libvlccore.dll and plugins folder.

Optional: The HD movie pack by ODVS can be downloaded from "https://www.wcnews.com/wcpedia/Wing_Commander_4_HD_Video_Pack".

  The movies are hosted by The Wing Commander CIC "https://www.wcnews.com/#".


The "wc4w_en.ini" contains some optional settings, details of which can be found within the file.

Notes:
 - To play the game run the "WC4W.EXE" executable. The "wc4dvd.exe" in the DVD version of the game can be ignored as can the original DOS "WC4.EXE".
 - When playing the GOG DVD version for the first time, you may be prompted with the Installation Setup Window. Run the speed test and change any other settings to your liking, save settings when complete.
