X Wing Redux in English?

[waylon]

when i install the xwc 2.0, all my text dissappears, at first i thought it was that my xwaup changes had something to do with it, so i copied the stuff lost from the config from the xwaup modified to the xwc (i have backup) but that didnt change, can you post a fix, and if its remove xwaup but keep ucp (i installed remaining craft not installed from ucp) ill accept that, but first can you please give me a fix other then that? ty

edit, tested without the extra xwaup craft, still same,

can anybody help me

Not sure I understand everything, have you install DSUCP first? The disapperaing text you mentioned is the mission text or what? Have you try to load up different pilot. My suggestion is use pilot XWC and go to battle first, quit mission, let your system record pilot information fits to your configuration. Then go to combat chamber, do not go directly to combat chamber. Hope this can fix your problem.

no no no, thats not it at all, its WORSE

i also have no text on the combat chamber nor the craft area, nor probably everywhere else, my backup without xwc works fine

[waylon]

try the other exe file I put in, just rename it, or use the exe from the last version. Strange, I didn't patch exe this time.
Try to delete xwa.tab or rename it.

[Danfun64]

same results with other exe, also what xwa.tab

i didnt find an xwa.tab when i checked using search

edit, i think i fixed the problem, the xwc modifies the times files for some reason, by replacing those from the backup, i can have words again, why did you modify it anyways?

[waylon]

I tested it, it did have the same problem, please hold for download, something must missing.

[Danfun64]

on a different note, the redux .avis didnt load on xwa (audio recording was from soundblaster), though the new ones (either having audio from roland mt-32 or xwing95) work fine, same bug in private build

[waylon]

There is once I double clicked xwa.exe when it is in the installation directory on my external drive, that changed files you mentioned I think.
Anyway, I fixed it (2.0beta no text problem), uploaded on my ftp. Filename xwc2.1beta.rar.
I tried to make a small fix patch but just not working after 2.0beta installed. Then I used my workable directory re-construct 2.1beta. I tested it, this one should work fine. Sometime make a building is much easier than fix the old one.
Please copy your backup to xwa directory for installation, override 2.0beta won't work.

By the way, Danfun64, can you upload your simple fix, just want to have more knowledge about this bug.

Do you have the text? Cause I have all the text logged: briefings, details, mission complete messages, for the first three tours if you need them...with corrected grammar too!

Your hear the sounds of the avis but you see nothing?
You need the Intel Indeo and DivX codecs.

installing indeo codec fixed it, thank you

Yes, we have all the text from XwingCD, except for messages, original xwi files do not have messages, only win or fail messages.
And yes, can you send me via email or upload onto ftp. It's great to have well translated Redux missions, they are all tested and well balanced. Thanks.

[EtherShock]

Oh no, this is just text logged from XwingCD, not Redux. I'm still working on something I can show for that. You still want it?

[Danfun64]

for some reason, (this is noticable in my trailer) when you attack the deathstar, you get a "you attacked a friendly craft" message LOL. still in this build lol

Because if you don't set it as friednly, weapons will be jammed.

Sure, I like to collect good missions for future clone wars mod use.

The press release just came out that Lucasarts is going to release classic games via Valve's Steam service. The first ten games they are releasing are not Xwing titles but they are teasing that this is the first batch of many. It would be interesting if some of the Xwing titles are "updated" to be run on windows via steam as all files would be on the hard drive meaning no redbook audio. At the very least I could see Xwing Alliance on Steam but it would be very cool to have Xwing, Tie Fighter and or XvT on Steam as well.

If they are re-releasing old PC titles to run on Steam it would be cool if they updated the titles so they work via DirectX, especially direct sound vs. iMuse. With access to the source code it wouldn't be that hard to do and there is certainly enough interest to make it profitable to do so (I know I'd rebuy a lot of titles if they did that). If any of you get any more info keep it coming.

[EtherShock]

They will never release the source. Our only hope is to create an open version from scratch. Vfonseca is working on that, but he doesn't have a team, so it'll take forever.

Well, they have updated X-Wing once before, so no reason to doubt they could not do it again. Star Wars Starfighter is one of the Steam releases, so the X-Wing series must be a real possibility for the future.

Of course they would never release the source code. I was saying that they could - in house - update the code themselves for this new batch of rereleases in order to update them enough to run on windows. XvT, Xwing and Tie Fighter collectors editions all used redbook audio. If they released it on Steam they would HAVE to update the game in some way because there would be no CD to play redbook audio off of.

[EtherShock]

FLAC would be the best option, lossless compression. Yeah it would take more space than mp3 or ogg, but it would be infinitely better than those and wav.

If it ever gets completed, I think X-Wing Redux, X-Wing Conversion and TIE Fighter Total Conversion should be converted for this.

@Benevolence: Any progress so far on the midis?
Oh talking about them: Do you think you can extract the missing ones? (panic music, arrival announcements, etc)? (I hope that I don't overload you with tasks)

[EtherShock]

It will, it's just going to take time.

[Fek'LeyrTarg]

It will, it's just going to take time.

I pray for that.

[Fek'LeyrTarg]

I just want to let you know: I've written 2 E-Mails for XWC based on the events of the Farlander Papers and the strategy guide: One from Hamo and one from cpt Nogdra of the CRV Bixby. And I'm waiting for ChrisRedfield's debriefing textes. (I'll ask him later about this).
I know, you might hate nitpicking like I do but I'm a little bit worried because nobody has written here for a month, so I'd like to ask: How are you doing? Waylon, how are Ackbar's remaining briefings? Benevolence, how are the MIDIs?
Sorry if I pressured everyone of you. As I always say: Take all the time you need. Especially for real life.

[EtherShock]

Yeah, it's been a while since I've said anything. I've been just days away from finishing the first draft of Tour I for a while now, but I've just been so busy with real life. It'll get done eventually. I find it's better just not to say anything too often, as to not drum up expectations.

As someone once said...

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."
