TFTC/XWC Do Not Work
Posted: Mon Jul 04, 2011 10:16 pm
I've posted here before with issues that have been worked out, either with much appreciated help form other users, or that I simply figured out myself. Unfortunately, I've reached a point where I have neither the patience or the the slightest clue on how to make things work. Both XWC and TFTC fail to install properly. I've made them work before, but can't now.
I had three Xwing Alliance folders in my Lucasarts folder. One was for the original game, the second for XWC, and the third for TFTC. The TFTC install went to crap, so I ended up in my confusion installing it to the XWC folder. Since the XWC was already installed, this created issues such as a visual TIE briefing with XWA audio briefing over it.
I have repeatedly installed these mods to separate folders with error after error. Precisely following the instructions in the downloads has resulted only in me spending more hours manually moving files and folders around to make the damn mods work, than I have spent playing them. At this point, I can't even begin to remember what I've done to make things work in the past.
My request is this: That someone please post or PM clear, accurate directions on how to install TFTC and XWC in separate folders in a manner that will make them work. Maybe I'm just too simple-minded, but again I have followed the install directions precisely, and the only times I have been able to play these mods without crashes or errors is when I have completely disregarded the instructions and manually gone with a trial and error process.
Much thanks in advance. I apologize if the tone of this post is a bit aggressive, but I have put hours of work into making these mods work, and they keep breaking down on me. Thanks again.
