News - A new News Item Posted by Forceflow
Well, there's the news folks! There's a new 'News' Topic on the Frontpage of the site (Namely this one) showing you that we are
a) not dead and
b) still do read the Forums although it most likely doesn't look like it.

Unfortunately besides this mind staggering news, there really aint that much to tell. We've got some smaller opts in progress that might be released soon, though progress reports have been rather 'well spread' lately.

As for the wish for seasons greetings, that's still a little way to go. I am still at work and have a test (doesn't that suck, I have all the disadvantages of work combined with the disadvantes of school) tomorrow about databases and this sucks! So, don't expect any cheers from me until the end of the weekend. (Since I'll be off the internet on the weekend I wont be able to post any time sooner!)

Well, that's for the news, this item can be discussed here

Download problems Posted by ACE Antilles
We are having some "technical difficulties" with some of the Opt downloads. The Nexgo server we use is playing up.
So for a while some of the X-mod's might not be available to download. It also affects any images from there, so screenshots may also be affected. Normal service will be resumed soon. :)

XWAU vs TG - Battle of the opts! Posted by ACE Antilles
That's a feature I'm running on the XWAU forum. Hopefully you've all seen it? It's a comparison of all the TG opts with the XWAU ones.
It highlights the many massive improvements the XWAU Project has made over the years. I'll be adding more images as it goes along so check back regulary. Today I've posted the Gun Platform and Mine A.
Take a look here: "XWAU vs TG"

Yes, you heard right, the R-41 is finished! Thanks got out to Darksaber who completed the model! Go and grab it in the downlaod section!

Nice work on the Proximity Mines!

Flame Wars Posted by Forceflow
Hello Folks,

sadly it has come to my attention that Flame Wars seem to be errputing all over the place. Not only does it seem that threads are taken off-topic in a flame debate but whole flame threads seem to have been started.

Now, I know I don't control the boards as much as I used to. But I simply don't have the time, nor the energy to do so right now! What I also do not have right now is the patience for all of this!
So be warned, whoever flames my board will be punished, and I wont bother with any little things anymore like boots. You'll find yourself banned and that's it!

But also a warning to everybody else:
Don't feed the trolls!!!
Feeding the trolls on this board is no longer acceptible! Whoever is caught taking part in a flame thread will be in danger to be punished also! It's really simply, if you don'T have anything nice or productive to say, just don't touch the keyboard!

I am in a really bad mood lately, I've got a lot to deal with, so don't try me. It's a bad time, trust me!

Scary Stuff... Posted by Forceflow
Hey everybody, I just wanted to post something I found out this morning. It's toally XWAU UNrelated, but nevertheless improtant read. M$ and Intel, both making sure life on the PC is going o get MUCH more annoying and harder!

Some of that stuff is, at least in my opinion, even illegal in germany! (Not to meantion the new EULAs that come with the Media Player, I sure wont install that one)

I highly suggest everybody finds the time to actually read this:

https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/tcpa-faq.html

I know it's a long read, but everybody should be aware of it!

Unofficial XWAU news Posted by ACE Antilles
Some more XWAU related news for you.

Over on my site you can now download the XWAU Assault Gunboat X-mod as a single opt! Matt has allowed me to host the X-mod so that anyone with download trouble can just get that, rather than the whole IFP. But get it anyway! :)
For more information take a look at my Forum area and head over to my site. The X-wing Outpost.

Also Darksaber has released the final version of his X-wing Fighter! After many revisions, the once XWAU original has been improved once again. It now has a great brand new cockpit and all over improvements! Look at his site for all the information.

Well, well... Posted by Forceflow
Not much going on here right now, I know.
But be assured we are still working on the project, although it is slow right now. Basically I just wanted to remeber this one saying I just came up with. (Well, could be that this is in fact not my invention but that I read it somewhere some time ago, but it'S good nevertheless)

Life sucks! But always remember, tomorrow will be worse!

Okay, so it IS a depressing thought, but so is my internet bill and eveything else, so don't complain.

30.05.2002

Page online again Posted by Forceflow
Okay, I activated the page again, hopefully all excess traffic the site generates now will not be on my bill. Since I switched into a higher (and more expensive) account.
I really hope we'll stay under the limit this month. This is really starting to eat away my resources.

Well, for now go ahead and post on the forum again. All files are available for download, too, again.

29.05.2002

Forum Offline Posted by Forceflow
Hey Folks, as most of you probably already noticed the Forums are offline. As are all downloads.
Everything will be up again in a couple of days, but I fear for now they have to be off for at least 2 or even three days. My providers wants at least $50 from me for the exceeding traffic my page generated this month and additional traffic will just cost me more and more. So unless somebody has some big bucks he can send over to me asap the page will need to be in this half functional status until the first of June.

I am really sorry about this, I know it's quite bad, and I don't like that I have to do it, but I just don't have this kind of money right now.

Hope you all will stick with me on this one.

Chat Posted by Forceflow
Okay folks, FINALLY it's possible to not only post on the Forum but do a real-time IRC chat! Many thanks to Defiant for setting this up!

One reminder for everybody, nicks on the IRC chat do not have to be the same as on the Forum. So Just 'cause somebody is named like somebody on the Forum it doesn't mean he actually IS the one on the Forum!

Anyways, this will be a test phase for now. Hope you all like it!

Happy chatting!

XIS Update Posted by Darksaber
Defiant has another update of XIS for you, this it what he has to say about it: -

I've made some much-needed updates to XIS, mostly preventative measures, but another to address DAT installation now that more is known about them. Some people have been having trouble (Since 2.6?) uninstalling mods, but so far I haven't been able to recreate the problem. It will delete the backup log, but leave all of the other files intact. Contact me if you (still) run into the problem and I'll try to find some sort of common ground.

Changes: -

  • New command: AddToResData
  • Error checking for ZT patches. This should prevent a corrupted patch from writing past the end of the file and making it bigger.
  • Removed the extension checking from 2.4. It was more trouble than it was worth, and wasn't really all that secure.
  • Some fixes to the backup system, the script parser, and the InstallMissionVoice command.
  • Fixed a memory leak in the release notes box.

    Like Defiant said "if you (still) run into problems uninstalling mods" please use his forums at Defiant's Flying Temple and explain the problem in detail so he can try to find some sort of common ground.

Fighters Fixed Posted by Darksaber
OK! I made new 202 files for each and have thoroughly tested the A-wing, B-wing and ANH TIE Fighter. This time (Fingers Crossed) they are fine, and you can go ahead and download them again.

Ok Hope you enjoy them and again I apologise for the bug in the previous versions.

Please visit Darksaber's Opt Station to download the bug free versions now!

Warning about the New A-wing & B-wing Posted by Darksaber
There is a BIG problem with the ZT/202 files in these two Xmods

Basically they got screwed somewhere along the line.

This goes for everyone who have downloaded the new versions.

Delete both the A-wing and B-wing from your HD, DO NOT INSTALL THEM! They WILL screw up your XWA.exe

May I also point out that this has nothing to do with XIS what so ever.

And I am profoundly sorry if they HAVE already screwed up your exe.

But then again you take that risk when installing them and I won't be held responsible for your own actions.

You install them at your own risk!

Fixed versions will be available soon!
