Guest Zedran Posted June 1, 2000 Posted June 1, 2000 For those of you who havent been to the site, you should go and check it out. They are doing an awesome job!! The screen shots of the ships are WAY better than the ones we play with now. Here is the link. http://xwaupgrade.cjb.net/ Let go of your anger,Feel The Dark Side of The Force Zedran ------------------ "Thats quite a wonderful smell you discovered!"

Guest decoy Posted June 2, 2000 Posted June 2, 2000 Yeah well it had to come out sooner or later I'm currently working hard on the textures of the Y-wing once those are done it won't be long before the release of the Rebel Fighter Patch ------------------ SOB KNIGHT 1 Time Zone Gang forum time + 6 hours "Only feel sorry about things you didn't do" Star Wars Space Sim Guide

Guest OtanaMan Posted June 2, 2000 Posted June 2, 2000 You work for the XWA Upgrade, Decoy? Well, nice work on the new OPTs! Very realistic! So, are you going to put all those pipes and bumps on the Y-wing...or just regular texture mapping like the XWA version?
Guest decoy Posted June 3, 2000 Posted June 3, 2000 Yes i have been a part of it from the bigining and yes the Y-wing will have some bumps and tubes but thats all i can say right now ------------------ SOB KNIGHT 1 Time Zone Gang forum time + 6 hours "Only feel sorry about things you didn't do" Star Wars Space Sim Guide [This message has been edited by decoy (edited June 02, 2000).]
Guest OtanaMan Posted June 3, 2000 Posted June 3, 2000 Finally! Someone's gonna make the Y-wing look real! But I'm sure this is going to make the game lag, will it not? Especially during MP.
Guest Vark111 Posted June 3, 2000 Posted June 3, 2000 It will cause a performance hit, but remember that XWA was released back when - what? - 300 MHz was the top-end? Nowadays, 600 is the norm with quite a few people up into the 800s (and even a few Gigs). I think the extra polys won't cause too much of a problem on today's systems. As for multi lag, the actual models themselves aren't transfered over the net, just the variables (speed, position, angle, etc...). So these new models may cause a performance hit on any particular machine, they won't degrade the lag performance at all (unless the machine-performance hit is causing increased lag in and of itself). ------------------ Everyone should believe in something... I believe I'll have another beer.
Guest Ms. Talon Posted June 3, 2000 Posted June 3, 2000 I'm sure they've thought of this...BUT JUST IN CASE!...please make sure the Rebel Fighter patch will be compatible with the NCA patch and vice-versa. It'd be a drag if you can't install it bacause your XWA.exe has been changed by the NCA patch! ------------------ gototalon@home.com http://members.home.net/gototalon
Guest decoy Posted June 3, 2000 Posted June 3, 2000 The patch should be compatible with any changed EXE that is out there. Nob him self is doing the installer ------------------ SOB KNIGHT 1 Time Zone Gang forum time + 6 hours "Only feel sorry about things you didn't do" Star Wars Space Sim Guide
Guest OtanaMan Posted June 3, 2000 Posted June 3, 2000 NCA patch? What is a NCA patch and how, if possible, do I get it?
Guest Ms. Talon Posted June 3, 2000 Posted June 3, 2000 Instaed of explaining what the NCA patch is, please visit our website (link below) and go to the gun-camera pages...All will be made clear, my young Padawan. ------------------ gototalon@home.com http://members.home.net/gototalon
Guest OtanaMan Posted June 3, 2000 Posted June 3, 2000 Ms. Talon, I went to the site you told me. I saw many, many nice screenshots at the gun-camera pages, but I still have no idea what it is. Oh, it probably doesn't matter, anyway...does it? Tell me, someone, will the NCA patch be REQUIRED for the improved OPTs?
Guest Ms. Talon Posted June 3, 2000 Posted June 3, 2000 I guess you never noticed that many of the ships are not normally in the game!? Fighter like the E-Wing, Phantom-TIE, Naboo ships, etc., or the new Rebel cruiser such as 'Home 1"...or the "Eclipse" Star-Destroyer. (Have another look!) The NCA patch adds a slew of excellent flight models to the game without affecting any of the existing ships. And I do not believe you'll need it for the upgrade. ------------------ gototalon@home.com http://members.home.net/gototalon
Guest decoy Posted June 3, 2000 Posted June 3, 2000 No you won't need it for the upgrade but i think it might be wise you get it any way it realy adds alot of good ships ------------------ SOB KNIGHT 1 Time Zone Gang forum time + 6 hours "Only feel sorry about things you didn't do" Star Wars Space Sim Guide
Guest OtanaMan Posted June 3, 2000 Posted June 3, 2000 I see the new ships now. I was wondering why I saw the Phantom TIE. Now, I'm gonna go look for the NCA patch.
Guest OtanaMan Posted June 4, 2000 Posted June 4, 2000 Ok, so now that I have new ships available to choose, I was wonder if there was anyway I can hear the engine noise of the ship.
Guest Sheldon Posted June 4, 2000 Posted June 4, 2000 The offset for the engine noises was not found at the time of the NCA Patch 1.2 release, so they are not available. The offset is now available in the one of the newest BinHexEdit modules, but I'm afraid that if I remember correctly, it only works for the first 50 or so slots. Also, I found some problems using the newest module for BHE, so I'm sticking to 1.1. For those that don't know what I'm talking about, please do not ask here, it is an editing related question and should best be asked at the Editing Forum..

Guest OtanaMan Posted June 5, 2000 Posted June 5, 2000 I can't seem to go to the XWA Upgrade website. I'm using IE5 and everytime I try to go there today I get "The page cannot be displayed". Is this occuring for everyone else who is using Internet Explorer 5?
Guest Ms. Talon Posted June 5, 2000 Posted June 5, 2000 That happens to me sometimes too, They seem to have a VERY slow server, but keep trying, it will load at some point. ------------------ gototalon@home.com http://members.home.net/gototalon
Guest decoy Posted June 5, 2000 Posted June 5, 2000 The server isn't that slow but it has been down yesterday, sorry about that. ------------------ SOB KNIGHT 1 Time Zone Gang forum time + 6 hours "Only feel sorry about things you didn't do" Star Wars Space Sim Guide
Guest OtanaMan Posted June 6, 2000 Posted June 6, 2000 It's all good now because the site's up again. I thought it was permanently down. Good thing it wasn't.
Guest Cloud Posted June 6, 2000 Posted June 6, 2000 Wow! I can't believe LEC is being beaten by "non professional" editors! You should go work for them and show them how it should be done! by the way, anothe way to make the laser more realistic is one the X-Wing. When you play next time, when you load up the game and there's that X-Wing chasing that TIE compare it to the ingame sound.
