Darksaber's X-Wing Station

Thank you.

Please read the Disclaimer and Copyright.

I would like to Thank Demon for creating BinHexEdit and for all the countless other people involved in creating the Modules to use with this application.

Next if you wish open the Engine Sounds

This will let you edit the various engine noises for the first 65 craft.

"Craft Interior" = The background engine hum
"Craft Flyby" = The sound of a fly-by
"Craft Launch" = A fly-by sound played when leaving the hangar
"Craft Unknown" = Not sure yet, doesn't appear to do anything, mess around with it anyway.

Thanks to Matt

The sounds are
0 = X-Wing
1 = Y-Wing
2 = A-Wing
3 = B-Wing
4 = All the Ties
and so on, I changed the txt file in this module to include all the No. for the ships

For the example the TIE Phantom would sound like the TIE Fighter (4) so scroll down to the first reserved fight slot, you will notice there are 4 Res Fighter 1 slots to change. This is explained above, just change the number already in them to 4.

Remember to save the new settings

These bytes let you edit the S-foil properties of the first 50 craft. It's not as simple as you'd expect it to be. This is NOT ALL of the S-foil information, you still cannot give craft other than the X-wing or B-wing fully working S-foils. This is elsewhere in the EXE, and has yet to be found.

Has S-foils Line:

These is the line that actually activates/deactivates the S-foils. Here's what XWA has as default.

0 - X-wing
1 - B-wing
2 - Missile Boat
3 - Gunboat, Blastboat
4 - Shuttle
5 - DEACTIVATES

The 5 is the important part. It will deactivate ANY S-foil functions of the craft. For craft like the Gunboat and Missile Boat, it will allow them to fire guns in single-player, instead of displaying the "S-foils closed" message.

Changing the B-wing's 1 to 0 didn't appear to affect anything, so I suppose, so for simplicity, use 0 to activate, and 5 to deactivate.

Finally, if you deactivate the s-foils (on the X-wing, for example), but don't change the start mode line, the foils will be closed the entire mission, but weapons can still be fired from them.

Start Mode line:

This is the line that determines what the default setting of your S-foils are. The values here are typically the same as in the Has Foils line.

Setting it to 5 will have the S-foils start opened (on X-wing and B-wing). Anything else will have them start closed.

Note: Setting any of the Bytes to a value greater than 5 will crash XWA!

Again this has nothing to do with installing the TIE Phantom, but it's good idea to tell you about it.

This where the fun starts scroll down to the first Reserve Fighter slot, under the Pursuer (Slave II).

Note: When installing a new craft make sure you enter a number in the Unknown Manoeuvrability box, otherwise the AI craft will fly in a straight line, going now where.

For this I have included the actual Stats from my readme file. Just copy everything as shown below: -

Remember to Save these settings.

Now go and fly, If it doesn't work, go back over this checklist and make sure you entered everything properly.
