Tried it and it ain't happening man... Still won't detect the CD. Operating System Language = 98 (4.10.1998) XWA Language = English TIECD = English You mentioned reg settings...do you want a quick reg pathnames of certain areas? HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC\X-Wing Alliance\v1.0 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows

ATX, I would get XP-Pro when you can, or at least for a separate HD.

If it were a matter or renaming some registry settings or duping them then I would...hell I'd make a batch file too and post it up here if I knew what keys the script was looking for.

I report my pc specs and sw specs: Software: XWA english Tie Fighter Collectors CD english X Wing CD english O.S.: WinXp 32bit Italian PC Config: processor: Athlon 3000+ MB: Abit NF2 rev2.0 Audio: soundstorm onboard audio Mem: 1gb ram Video: Asus 9999gt (nvidia 6800gt 128mb) HD: 20giga , 120giga CDROM: DVD\RW LG 4061b I did a full TFTC and XWA uninstall, removed all remaining folders/files, rebooted pc. Defragged the disks also. Reinstalled XWA, launched game, created a pilot, configured then played a pair of skirmish. Rebooted pc. Launched TFTCWCTv1.2.exe. Took some time to create the folders and wave files from Tie Fighter Collectors CD english. I've found this: "...\LucasArts\XWingAlliance\Wave\Frontend\" its full of folders but all empy, only "frontend" folder itself and "Medalandpromotion" contains many *.WAV files. "...\LucasArts\XWingAlliance\Wave\Missionvoice\" its full of folders which are full of *.WAV files. The patcher created in the "..\LucasArts\XWingAlliance\" a folder called "BackupTFTCWCT" which contains a SFX with a sfx.lst file Now that i did this test, i just have to reinstall TFTC or i have to do something else? thx in advance!

Thanks, looks like it worked like it suppose to Redwolfwere. I would install the TFTC launcher program first, then install the above test utility second. Remember this will ultimately be part of the next release (a fixed version) so thanks for being patient.

Thank you RedWolfwere
Now only if Warhawk would get his bloody finger out to test it on a 64 bit system, we might know for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, i did the full reinstall XWA- TFTC- TFTCWCT. Using the TFTC launcer i hear the Commander Voice before the real briefing, no voice during briefing, no voice during missions. If i use the Xwing alliance launcher i hear all the voice of commander pre and post briefing and no mission voice. So this is working half for me

Right so this doesn't look so good, the only real way to get around the problem is to included the already converted Tie Fighter wav with the installer.
Sorry but I've had it trying to fix this problem, I get no support from Linx trying to fix this thing so the files are going to be included, balls to it.
Also to make this work folks will have to copy the all the wave files from the xwa Disks (Both Disks) to there xwa dir.
People wont have to own a copy of either of the tie fighter disks!
It will make the setup installer around 50 or 60mb larger, but thats tough
Sorry

Look you guys worked hard on this thing and you've worked even harder trying to keep things legit. Now, I'll be perfectly honest with you - if you were going to run into trouble with LA and TG for this stuff you would have heard from them by now - trust me!Also, slap me if I'm wrong but most of us (fans) who truly appeciate XWA and TF probably have legit copies of it and pride ourselves on it. I understand it only take a few creeps to ruin it for everyone but I figure the people here are honest for the most part.As for filesize/download/bandwidth issues, couldn't you use a batch WAV-MP3 converter and then post a link where people could download/find a shareware/freeware version of a batch converter - kinda everyone meeting everyone half way To me it's no different than making a XWA campaign and posting a link to download XMOD from someplace else.

When will a working patch or new installer be done?? With this sound-bug it makes no sense playing TFTC, which is great work! Hopefully we won´t have to wait much longer...

Most likely by mid-summer. Everyone's extremely busy with real life stuff, so it hard to squeeze in time, but TFTC is making progress slowly, week-by-week...

Hi all,
Just been reliving some fond memories playing tie fighter again. Thanks , great work!
Anyhoot. After going through the install I found that I had all XWA mission briefings. In mission was fine. After 3-4 hours reading these fora, fiddling around and even manually converting Voc=>Wav and learnign mroe about the folder structure of XWA/TIE than I ever wanted to know......I solved MY problem
Put simply I chose the wrong TIE cd on the install. If you have TIE95, and choose TIECD or vice versa then the copy/conversion doesnt work and the original XWA wavs are just left in their folders. - BUT....the install goes ahead fine otherwise which makes it very easy to overlook such a simple error. You'd expect the instal lto pick that up. (but hey this isnt commercial software so thats not a criticism guys.)
I correctly chose TIE95 (in my case) and fwarh! perfect! I know theres deeper problems here that you're working on with 64bit stuff etc. But this just might help the odd person that *thinks* they're having that problem when actually, they;ve jsut been a dufus like me.
