Battle 2 - Maybe all missions I believe
The briefings are not showing the Liberty Winged Calamari map icon.
They ares showing the Defiance one instead. The Winged has it's own icon though.
Also in Joinng the Rebellion - Mission 2
Briefing voice says deploys from Liberty and should be Defiance.
This seems to be a bug in the XWA voice acting and not XWAU.
Star Wars X-Wing Alliance\Wave\Frontend\B0m9\B000902
Has anyone got this issue with other versions of XWA that aren't from Steam?
EDIT: Ignore the sound. It goes back to CD days.
Look at the end for a fix for this message from me.

I've just checked it's the mission briefing that's pointing to the wrong icon or craft
The Icon is right the missions wrong

There are a couple of little errors I notice too for icons when redesigning the map briefings for the TIE Fighter missions, like the Nebulon-B2 Frigate map icon doesn't actually rotate or mirror even though in AlliED it looks ok. In-game though, it just doesn't want to know. I think one or two other icons do this as well though can't remember off the top of my head which ones.

I open Allied and took a look at the briefing but all my icons are messed up in that.
The Liberty is a space worker for instance!!
What am I missing for Allied to make it work with XWAUCP?

I don't know what might cause this problem, but have you tried to update the files in your AlliED directory?Ace Antilles wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 9:44 pm

If not you are missing the work done in 2018-2019 about some of the unknowns.
You can download the updated AlliED files from Darksaber's site, just below the link to download the Craft Pack v2.6.
I don't judge tactics. The Battle is the best and only Judge.

Ok I think I fixed it. In this mission at least. Updated the briefing to the right icon.Mark_Farlander wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 9:52 pmI don't know what might cause this problem, but have you tried to update the files in your AlliED directory?

Your a mission guy Mark. If you have time to go through all the Liberty briefings in Battle 2 and fix them that would be helpful and should be easy.
The reason the icons is wrong I believe is because of the Palette file.
It doesn't match the Mapicon layout in the XWAU

Use Yogme to edit, remember I made new mapicons, this is why they are messed up in Allied
the icons just need changing in each mission I've nearly finished fixing them all

Not really had a chance to look at Yogme much. It doesn't play the Wav files either does it?
The icons were better but it still showed a CRS and not Winged in the briefing even though the listing was correct.
Thanks for taking a look and fixing them
And with a small bit of clever engineering by myself... here is the fixed wave mission sound!

Ok finished fixing the icon in the missions
First I would back up your missions folder, (just in case) I'm no mission maker, I'm able to do this though
Within the main folder there are 2 other folders, RedYwing and GoldYwing, it depends on which color Ywing you have installed, to which folder of fixed missions you copy and paste the missions across

Brilliant. Thanks very much. I didn't realise that the FG colour meant altered missions but I can understand why. I think you can do that with Hooks since can't you?Darksaber wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 11:04 pmOk finished fixing the icon in the missions

I just went for the default Y-wing which is Gold right?
I'm really rusty on mission making and not looked into that area in a long time.
Thanks for the quick fix Darksaber. Feel free to add my sound fix and use it in any future XWAUCP.
This week sure is find and fix all the bugs week! Lol I wasn't even looking for this. Enjoy guys

So I noticed this as well, the Liberty is always displayed as the wingless Mon Cal (Defiance) as is the Independence (Home One).
I changed my training mission two so that the cruiser you have as your "mothership" is actually the Liberty (as it's a simulator mission, it doesn't matter that you are stationed on Defiance not Liberty), the things I needed to change were the cruiser model used, the name and then in briefing the string from CRS Defiance to CRS Liberty
Also needed to change the mission parameters to have "Region 1" called Cruiser Liberty instead of Cruiser Defiance
I did not change the icon for the Liberty as I knew it was the wingless one later in campaign briefings.

Sorry but your wrong, you ONLY switch to the Liberty in mission 1b2m1g.tie before this mission your mothership IS the Defiance

I switch between YOGEME and AlliED myself as I find they both have their advantages. I find the briefing editor a little easier to use (and I use the term 'easier' lightly because its always a pain to create briefings!) in AlliED and I like the Wireframe map view as it gives me a better idea of relative sizes for ship placement. That said. YOGEMEs map editor allows me to mass move ships and waypoints easily as well as seeing relative waypoint overlays of selected ships and I can easily copy/paste orders to ships as well. Both useful for different reasons. Could be I'm just an old man used to using AlliED too much though

First line of the briefing 1b0m9w.tie is "You will depart from the cruiser Liberty". It's a training mission which is not actually flown in a real craft but in a simulator so even though you are stationed on the Defiance I figured with the first line being about flying from Liberty I would change Defiance to Liberty for that mission to make the briefing accurate.

I don't know which mission your talking about but it not mission 1b0m9w.tie, 1b0m9w.tie starts with
Can anyone else shed any light on this, I'm not going to start having a pissing match over how a mission briefing starts, to be honest I don't really care!Follow your instructor, Lt. Garn, to the first target area where you will begin the evaluation.
In Target Area 1 you will engage in a series of mock dogfights against the Empire's principle space superiority starfighter, the TIE, or Twin Ion Engine Fighter. Lt. Garn will observe.
Next, you will work with Lt. Garn as a two-ship flight element in another series of dogfights against the TIE Interceptor, a more recent and far more capable space superiority fighter.
In Target Area 3 you will be joined by another two-ship element to fight yet another series of dogfights against equal, and then greater numbers of enemy starfighters.
In the final test you will fly as part of an entire squadron in a massive engagement against multiple enemy squadrons featuring a variety of starfighters, some of which are armed with concussion missiles.

That's actually a voice over error. When you leave the hangar the Defiance is there not Liberty.maggee wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 11:38 amFirst line of the briefing 1b0m9w.tie is "You will depart from the cruiser Liberty".

I can see where you're coming from but if you download my voice over correction I posted above and Darksabers mission icon fixes then it's all back to normal
No need to change too much because of a LucasArts error in the briefing voice

Thanks Ace, finally clarity!
1. Most of the time I don't have my sound turned on, so I wouldn't have heard what was spoken.
2. maggee should have stated that he was talking about the spoken briefing, I was reading the briefing from the actual mission
3. I still don't care

It is in the actual briefing, there is no text it is only audio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3rhZJDwvRo go to 0:53.
I agree Ace has made the change that is more logical in terms of what was probably attended I was just saying what I did because
1. It still works (training mission therefore not in a real ship [ie simulator] so you could use any ship as the "mothership"
2. It adds a bit more variety to the game from an early point in the game without breaking anything
At no point was I implying that it was what needed to be changed, was just saying what I did in my game to make the incorrect wav file actually work

I get what you were doing maggee. You were just trying to share the edited mission that you made as an alternative way of getting around the issue. This is how you made it and you were not intending it to be used as an XWAUP official way. You were being a helpful member of this community.
I thank you for your contribution. Obviously it can lead to confusion by others so best not to have it here in this thread to download though.
Please keep looking out for other errors and letting us know if you find some
1 - Darksaber turn up your hearing aids It was the sound issue that alerted me to the problem.
2 - I knew what he meant because I had the sound on. So you can't blame others if you didn't. You should know the game backwards by now
3 - We know, we know!! lol
4 - Ok, Everyone happy now? Good
If anyone spots other minor issues then post a new topic as I'm all for fixing minor problems as well new ships etc.
