Please define "less stupid" :)

Yes, if you want to progress on B3M4 Reimagined, you should definitely grab it :)

You know, fair enough if you have this rather bizarre opinion, you don't like being the bad guy, thats fine. But please don't try to shame others about it. Role play exists for a reason, so you can be someone else, good, bad, evil, indifferent, whatever. It helps us explore the human condition, put ourselves in different situations, even learn from it and not a single person gets hurt from it because we go back to being our normal selves and our every day lives. Good luck to you, but if you don't like what we're doing, then don't waste your time with us and just ignore that we exist :)

Quick fix has been issued for B3M4 Reimagined "Guard Space Station NL-1". TRN Maaser was flagged as invincible, preventing mission completion. Please download the quick fix available here on our website.

Hello and thank you for your kind words! Glad you have enjoyed the experience :)

Hello, as is clearly stated, this mod is for the game X-Wing Alliance, not the original TIE Fighter. Please make sure you install to the correct game.

Hello, we have posted quick fixes for this mission on our website and our Discord server, please grab them and it will resolve this.

Hello, please check the quick fixes section from our website or Discord server, there are fixes there for this particular issue.

Hello, as the download description, readme file, website and YT tutorial all clearly state, you require the XWAU 2020 Mega Patch to install TFTC and then all subsequent XWAU patches are bundled as part of the TFTC installer so:

XWA -> XWAU 2020 Mega Patch -> TFTC 1.3 > TFTC 1.3.3

Hello, yes the MIDI soundtracks were recorded through their original hardware and then converted into WAVs for import into XWA's own propriety music file format. I have posted two of the three MIDI soundtracks in their entirety on my YT channel. The GUS one was not posted because it has background noise which you can't hear in game, but you can definitely hear in the YT so I felt it detracted from the music.

Hello:

The Concourse screens currently are simply locked at 640x480 resolution which is why they are much lower quality seemingly than inflight. Though this hard limit has now been recently broken, we are still in the process of creating the new HD versions of these rooms, the animations will take the most time.

To address your other questions:

1: The first four training missions of the campaign intentionally give zero bonus points. This is because the Secret Order ranks/cutscenes are intrinsically tied to bonus score and narratively speaking, you've not met him yet.

2: I'm not sure what you mean here, points from explosion splash damage? If so then that's an engine thing based on what it thinks are assists or not, there's a sliding scale of points given depending how much damage the game thinks the player did to a target.

3: That's a known issue we've been unable to resolve.

4: That's an issue with the simulator because I think its only loading the craft INI of the ship you're supposed to fly and each FOV/individual settings of the craft are located in their own INIs. I could be wrong here, you would need to join our Discord and query the guys who do all the graphics/coding level stuff.

The original game is FPS locked yes, but the mod is not FPS locked.

Hello, this mod only works properly on Windows 10 or greater.

Hello, please make sure you have the 1.3.2 patch installed, I believe this was a bug in 1.3 that was fixed in a subsequent patch.

Edit - Patchnotes from 1.3.1:
B5M4: Fixed issue where YT-1300 Geddawai should be boarded not captured as a goal condition.

Hello, not from us. You can check out the XWVM project, that's probably the best option you have currently but is unreleased.

Hello, as these files were uploaded many months ago and have been downloaded and played by thousands, I am confident that all necessary files here are there. I downloaded it today myself to double check, all seems good. Your case could be a corrupted download or an overzealous AV software. Please try to download it again.

The game is still fairly dependent on CPU despite offloading a lot of work onto the GPU and only one core is utilized so really anything i5 or higher minimum would be recommended.

Hmm I'm not sure then. The easier thing to do in this case is to join our Discord and post screenshots/video of the problem because its the first time I've honestly heard of the aspect ratio staying at 4:3 inflight. You can certainly try uninstalling and retrying, just test/play XWAU first before installing TFTC to see if the issue is present in XWAU or if its TFTC specific.

Hello. Please bear in mind that the Concourse screens are locked at 640x480 resolution. We have made progress in breaking this hard limit but its still in testing and would require rebuilding of all the screens. All the original cutscenes are also rendered out at 4:3 since it only stretches them otherwise.

Inflight however, it will use your native desktop resolution and aspect ration, even to ultra widescreen levels.

Hello Praesten. Unfortunately the XWAU/TFTC projects significantly upgrade the engine to the point that such an old system will probably not work with with the graphical upgrades that have been made and we all work with Windows rather than other OS. Currently we strongly recommend Windows 10 or higher. The mod CAN work on Lutris for Linux but only by using the old ddraw that was available pre 1.3 and it can also work on Windows 7/8 but at greater risk of significant issues.

You can of course give it a try, you can turn off all the special effects or use a different ddraw (search for JeremyaFRs Golden ddraw) which doesn't contain any of the graphical upgrades, but I cannot guarantee everything will work or be stable as expected.

Hello, yes you can play purely on KB/Mouse too, there are settings to enable this. Our tutorial installation video and our website give details on how to do it :)

CRITICAL BUG FOUND!: A severe issue has been found that is causing incorrect starship profiles to be loaded from Classic instead of Reimagined, this is causing certain ship types to not shoot properly (if at all) while others have different firepower than expected. We will be working to hotfix this to a 1.3.2 patch as soon as possible. In the meantime, please load the following file into your FlightModels folder and overwrite. This applies to Reimagined only!

Essentially yes, you can already play the first 8 Battles, the remaining 5 are in development :)

Hello. Yes, as the top description of the mod says, it includes both expansions. You can find more information about all aspects of the mod here: Tiefightertc.com

Hi, to address both your comments, I have no plans to do any further new campaigns or mods beyond TFTC and reimagining the original TIE Fighter campaigns.

Hi, please join our Discord server and post in our helpdesk or bug reporting channels. Discord.gg

Hi, I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that. We all develop the mod through Windows.

Hi, the 'squeak' you refer to is the beep made when you hit 0%, 1/3, 2/3, full throttle percentages. They are the default XWA noises as TFTC has never changed them. They are most likely located in either Wave\FE_HIGH_RES and Wave\FE_LOW_RES or possibly the SFX folder in the root directory.

Hello and thank you for your words, hope you have been enjoying the mod!

However, due to the risk of legal issues, we do not accept any form of financial contribution to the project. You may reward us by simply spreading the word of the mod to anyone interested :)

Hi, the v1.3 patch has been undergoing beta testing. We've fixed a number of issues and are about to proceed with another round of testing with a new beta, to see if the first batch of issues are resolved and if any new ones show up.
