RS XvT Mission Pack

The RS XvT Mission Pack is a collection of XvT and BoP missions made for the Rebel Squadrons. The pack was created in July 2012 as a way to speed up the process of downloading missions from the Mission Database and getting pilots ready for multiplayer, including systematizing multiplayer mission numbers.

All original filenames and formats have been preserved. There are plans for an undertaking later to convert qualifying SP missions to multiplayer, but in this pack no missions have been edited.

Installation

For experienced users

The quick guide to installation is as follows:

1. Download RS XvT Mission Pack.zip
2. Backup your current XvT mission directories if you already have custom missions installed (see below for full list of changes in the pack)
3. Extract the whole .zip file to your X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter directory (probably C:\Program Files\LucasArts\XwingTie\)

Step-by-step guide

For those new to installing custom missions, and have not done so before, follow these steps.

1. First install XvT and Balance of Power using the CDs, if you haven't already
2. Download RS XvT Mission Pack.zip, and save to your desktop
3. Open the .zip file you downloaded
4. File > Extract All...
5. Next > Browse... > Find your XvT directory (probably My Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files > LucasArts > XwingTie). Highlight "XwingTie". Click OK, then Next. The pack will install.
6. Uncheck "Show extracted files" > Finish
7. Run XvT or BoP normally. The missions should appear!
8. Find us on IRC, the forums, or in any other way to fly multiplayer. If you don't have multiplayer capability, you can still talk to other pilots about these missions.

Advanced

For advanced users, here is what the Mission Pack replaces in the XwingTie directory:

• BalanceOfPower\BATTLE\mission.lst
• BalanceOfPower\COMBAT\mission.lst
• BalanceOfPower\COMBAT\rebel.lst
• BalanceOfPower\MELEE\mission.lst
• BalanceOfPower\TRAIN\imperial.lst
• BalanceOfPower\TRAIN\mission.lst
• BalanceOfPower\TRAIN\rebel.lst
• Battle\MISSION.LST
• Combat\MISSION.LST
• Combat\REBEL.LST
• Melee\MISSION.LST
• Train\MISSION.LST
• Train\REBEL.LST

All default missions are kept with their original numbering in these .lst files, and then the pack is added according to the numbering scheme below.

The pack installs all missions in "RS" directories, then in subfolders. For example, a mission from RS Tour 4 would be in BalanceofPower\TRAIN\RS\RS Tour 4\.

Missions in the pack

First, a word about the numbering system, since some will want to add their own missions to .lst files. Numbers are designed not to overlap, including different types of missions. Some space has been left for possibly ongoing tours, or tours that might be continued someday. It should be noted that the in-game order of missions is not affected by the numbering system. It only uses vertical placement of missions in the .lst files, which may be non-consecutive. Given the number of discovered missions not yet added to this mission pack, it is inevitable that actual mission numbering will not be ultimately consecutive. However, we may safely say that anything numbered 2000 or higher will be safe from the pack, for purposes of testing one's own missions.

MP designates a multiplayer-capable mission.

• BoP Melee (33): 4 Deuces vs. 4 Deuces (Note: seems to have been intended to be flown in TIE Defenders, but uses T/A)
