some you can, some dont work unless you edit the ships.
But you can fly any ship by editing the mission with AlliED

i got it to work!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! It's so awesome!

the only ships that don't work are the Missile Boat and the Gunboat since they have s-foils which xwa doesn't recognize.

Um, at the risk of sounding like a newbie, what is allied?

it's an editor for xwa, you can make your own levels and edit existing ones. i just know how to change the ship though, i don't get involved trying to make my own levels since it's too complicated. www.xwingalliance.net) (http://www.xwingalliance.net) and click files, and get allied.

Thanx, Garindan. I'll give it a try.

if you need help, ask me. I don't know how to make any levels, i just know how to change the player's ship.

HELP. uh, where exactly do I download it? I followed the link, then clicked files, but I couldn't find anything about allied. Also, do I need any software or any other programs installed to download it.
Thanx.

no you don't need anything. go to www.xwingalliance.net) (http://www.xwingalliance.net) click files, click editors click allied. or click here:
http://xwingalliance.com/downloads/editors/allied035.zip)

Alright, Garindan, I got it downloaded, now how does it work? What do I do with it? When I downloaded it, it said open .zip file using... and then listed all of my systems. How do I open it.

I know that I sound very stupid and all http://www.jediknight.net/mboard/redface.gif), but could you try and help me anyway.

Thanx.

www.winzip.com) (http://www.winzip.com) get the demo of winzip (you can use it as long as you want, no expiration date), and open allied up, then click file, open, go to xwa missions directory, open up battle5mission1 (should be abbreviated, double click on one ofr the ships on the left menu, make sure it doesn't have .ai anywhere when it brings up another menu, and where it says ship type, there's a drop down menu where you can select any ship in the game, select any of them (just don't do a capital ship, 'cause that'd probably cause a crash, a shuttle or transport would be ok i think), then save the mission as it is (just overright the mission, if it doesn't work, you can just get the mission back from the xwa cd), and then load up xwa, and go to skirmish, battle 5 mission 1, and go to the hangar, and the ship you wanted should be the main craft.

So are you talking about the WinZip 8.0 evaluation version? and if yes, is it free to download?

Thanx again.

------------------
The Force will be with you...Always.

yes it is free to download.

Well, I tried to download the evaluation version, and it said that if I continued, it would charge me like 20 bucks after 21 days. Oh well

If you get pc gamer, it has it on it's disc and they won't charge you they'll just ask you to register it. You don't have to. http://www.jediknight.net/mboard/smile.gif)

That thing about being charged IS A LIE!!!! I've been using winzip for almost a year and haven't even been charged a cent. http://www.jediknight.net/mboard/biggrin.gif)

Uh, I dunno, I've never really downloaded anything - big surprise there huh - so, I'm not sure about anything that might charge me, but probably won't. Is there any other way that is certainly free. and, do you mean PC Gamer magazine, and if so, do I have to subscribe, or could I just get a news stand copy to get winzip free.

Thanx.

i promise it's completely free. You just download it, they don't charge you, and won't charge you. Allied doesn't charge you 'cause that's just a demo (which you can use to change starting ship)

http://www.linux-mandrake.org)

100% free stuff,

don't worry about winzip, is also 100%free unless you want the registred version.

there are a very cheap mexican magazines (if you live near mexico) $25.00 pesos or $2.5 dolars with winzip, quicktime, real, some movie previews, game Demos:
"PC Magazine" (in spanish)
"SmartBusiness" (also spanish)
PCmedia <<< kinda sucks
for the price and the files it has, I think is cool. and very cheap.
