Yes, there is that option, I have it on. My middle mouse wheel will not zoom properly and makes it very difficult to zoom in and out, that is why I use that option myself. There was no other key to bind the zoom function to I found. But sadly, that...  [Read More]

Under the options menu, there is a box that you can put an 'x' in that will enable you to use both mouse buttons to pan the camera around 360 degrees without modding the xml file. I haven't tested to see if this will let you tilt the camera as well,...  [Read More]

I seriously disagree with the following: 1) Disable TIE Maulers’ ability to run over infantry. 2) Reduce TIE Maulers’ attack damage made by their auto-destruction ability. The tie maulers are incredably weak vs any sort of tank or anti-vehicle u...  [Read More]

I've been playing the Imperial campaign and I've been planet-hopping as I get ready for Geonosis. I recently had to combat a rebel fleet with 85 corvettes in it! I can only build acclimator (sp?) and tartan (sp?) cruisers. It eventually took 3 space...  [Read More]

Is this the full retail version of the game or a demo mod? If it's the full retail version, try clicking the retreat button and then click auto-resolve. Also, there is a new patch for the game, make sure your installation is up to date....  [Read More]

Yeah, me too. I also hate it when games play part of a musical score that I already know then abruptly end it on a whim because the game's sountrack only contains that segment of the score. The music fragment builds up an expectation then just ends u...  [Read More]

Is that the one for the full retail release? If so, that's a bit more than 26 songs. It'll probably take me a little while to add all the music to the program. Unfortunately, I won't be able to test anything until my copy comes in. It's supposed to...  [Read More]

That's good to hear. You should be warned that it will only work with some of the full version's music events. You will not be able to replace all of the music in the full game since I didn't have time to program all of the full version's music event...  [Read More]

If you encounter any issues let me know. Due to the very limited development time I had to put into this program, some software bugs are bound to creep up. Also, I cannot predict what all of the various mods have done to your eaw demo installation....  [Read More]

I think having the ability to have smaller cap ships ram larger ones and large ships ram space stations would be cool. The ram command should re-direct power from the ship's shields to it's engines making it faster, but easier to destroy. If shield g...  [Read More]
