• 21:51, 14 February 2023 Forceflow talk contribs created page Orders (Advanced) (Created page with "'''Target option: Link targets''' Enabling this option makes all crafts of the FG consider as targets only the objects belonging to the intersection of the objects described in the 2 lines (A, B) instead of the union. '''Custom Throttle or Speed''' It is possible to set the throttle percentage used for each order, but speed is still calculated taking into account both the throttle percentage and how the craft manages power to systems. Crafts performing a bombin...")
• 21:50, 14 February 2023 Forceflow talk contribs created page Orders (Basic) (Created page with "Orders are duties all crafts of a given Flight Group perform during the mission. Each Flight Group can have up to 4 orders in each of the (up to) 4 Regions. “Order X, Region #Y” on the bar on top of the order rectangle means “order with X priority among orders performed in Region Y”.

• 21:49, 14 February 2023 Forceflow talk contribs created page Basic Hull Texturing (Created page with "To make a decent texture you will need a good graphical program like Photoshop, Paintshop pro or like in my case Fireworks from Macromedia. I can't actually say which program is best as long as it supports layers it should do. I have been using Fireworks quite some time now even before I started working on textures. It's actually a program specialised on web graphics I use it mainly because of it's powerful scaling tool and simple interface. I must say that it doesn't ha...")
• 21:48, 14 February 2023 Forceflow talk contribs created page Goals (Created page with "There are 3 kinds of Goals: Primary Goals, Secondary Goals and Conditions to Prevent. * A Primary Goal is a condition the player needs to become true to successfully complete the mission. When all Primary Goals have been completed, the Mission Outcome immediately changes from “Unresolved” to “Success”. * A Condition to Prevent is a condition the player needs to stay false during the mission. If a Condition to Prevent becomes true, then the Mission Outcome imm...")

Everybody is welcome to the XWAU-Team, however, you should have abilities in following fields: #Modelling (though to be honest, we do have quite some modelers right now) #Texturing ('''Highly''' needed right now) #OPTing #Mission Editing (This has become a thing in recent years) Preferably we need people who can do more than just one task. Right now if you can only model you have...")

• 21:43, 14 February 2023 Forceflow talk contribs created page Viewing Tools (Created page with "There are a number of tools you can use to inspect your creation before giving it a shot ingame. OPT GL is a very useful tool which shows your model using the same shading methods as the game. This is perfect as you can quickly spot any shading errors with the model. Further you can switch between the various LODs and flightgroup colors.")
• 21:42, 14 February 2023 Forceflow talk contribs created page Patch 2.02 (Created page with "It may seem a bit over the top to make a separate section only to point out the existence and location of a patch, however it cannot be stressed enough that the official patch is a mandatory requirement, if you want to get into modding the game. For the Steam and GoG version of the game this is fairly simple as the respective client will keep your games up-to-date automatically (unless you have deactivated this feature). For the CD Version you can simply google it or...")

The way to use it is rather simple: #select and load the OPT you wish to fix #You will be prompted the degree threshold, default is 51.xy #''Once the thresh...")

• 21:36, 14 February 2023 Forceflow talk contribs created page OPT Installation (Created page with "Once your OPT is complete there's the small matter of getting it in the game, which . This is mainly done using one of two programs: * MXvTEd is the easier to use of the two, though it's missing a few tweakables that the other has. * BinHexEdit, while slightly more complex than MXvTEd, allows you to make more in-depth modifications and modify aspects such as S-Foil behavior, Engine sound etc. For an OPT to properly work ingame the following information needs to...")
