Topic: X-Wing Alliance

Anyone play this still or would like to do some multiplayer action?

...and I forget, can one person be piloting and the other be manning the turrets on the same craft in MP?

Re: X-Wing Alliance

Not quite sure where my disk is, and no, its 1 person per ship.

I don't have it installed anymore, sorry. Otherwise, it'd probably be fun to play it again. I played it a lot before and it's an awesome game.

Yes, but it requires you and everyone you're playing with to edit the shiplist.txt file (I forgot the directory it resides in, you'll have to find it yourself). Find the entry for the Falcon, YT-1300 and Otana and change it from Flyable to GunnerFlyable. Save the file. Done. You can also make any ship in the game flyable by changing their entries from NonFlyable to Flyable. I believe the entries are case-sensitive.

No need to make a backup either, there'll be one on your CD.

Oh, and you'll want to take a look at the XWA Upgrade Project: http://www.xwaupgrade.com. They've got a TIE Fighter-to-XWA port in there someplace, too, search the forums.

Rogue Squadron is arcade, whereas XWA and the other games in the series (X-Wing, TIE Fighter and X-Wing Vs TIE Fighter) are really more of a simulator collection. They're far from as advanced as many other sims out there, but they're certainly a step from the RS series.

Re: X-Wing Alliance

Cool! I gadda try that "GunnerFlyable".
And yesh, I've checked out those new mods people have been doing and downloaded that one guy's pack that is like 138MB big with all new models. It's shurely made the game a lot more modern and awesome looking. I don't remember some of these levels being that hard tho hmm

Someone reinstall XWA!

Re: X-Wing Alliance
