Is Waylon's XWC compatible w the 2020 Mega Patch? I saw a thread about replacing a few files manually in XWAU CP 1.6 but didn't know how that translates to the new Mega Patch.

Maybe it doesn't matter as I'm unsure my PC can handle the graphics of the Mega Patch.

Hello,
The instructions should still work. I have not tested them.

To install XWC 4.0 + XvT (rebel) on top of the Mega Patch:

Don't replace:
FlightModels\Equipment0.lst
FlightModels\Spacecraft0.lst
Fronttxt.txt
Resdata.txt
Shiplist.txt
Specdesc.txt
Strings.txt
TGSmush.dll
XwingAlliance.exe

Copy the XWC files (except the above files) in your XWA directory.

Add the following lines to Resdata.txt:
Resdata\XvTB3.dat
Resdata\XvTB2.dat
Resdata\XvTB1.dat
Resdata\XvTT8P.dat
Resdata\XvTT2P.dat
Resdata\XvTT1P.dat
Resdata\XWCYSS.dat
Resdata\XWCTOD5.dat
Resdata\XWCTOD4.dat
Resdata\XWCTOD3.dat
Resdata\XWCTOD2.dat
Resdata\XWCTOD1.dat

Manually install the Death Star OPTs using MXvTED.

Use BinHexEdit to set the mission number as indicated in the XWC Readme.

Install the lastest hooks and DDraw.dll.

Install a DivX MPEG-4 Video (DX50) codec to play the videos.

Will I need to make separate installations of XWA and the Mega Patch for XWA, XWC 4.0, and TFTC, or is there some way to use one installation for all of those (maybe the nifty Palpatine tool in the Mega Patch)?

Thanks for letting me know JeremyaFr! I don't know that I necessarily know how to do this but I'll ask if I need a hand.

Did it due to the instruction above but no BOB and XVT missions available. Only XWC's missions. I have MegaPatch 2020 + Update
