Hi linelefty! Need your help (cause there´s no patch in sight  ) Could you please explain the correct way to solve the problem for a "noob". Do I have to install it newly. If yes, what have I to do exactly?? |

I have reinstalled it taking care of choosing the right Tie-Version (which is Tie95 in my case) in the installer. Same Probs as before...  Maybe i must accept, that the actual version of TFTC doesn´t work for me. There was a new one announced for late summer. Whe will it be ready for downloading??? |

Read the install notes, and these boards. If still having problems post back. The expansion campaigns will be done, but not soon unfortunately. Still working on it.

Hi bman!
I tried it once again with no success. As at last time (see my last post) I took care of everything what I read in this topic, especially the Tie95/Tie CD-matter. Now I have the wrong voices at mission-briefings, but the right ones in-game (in most cases). But the ingame-music is wrong too, what means that the appearance of rebel-ships is "commented" with the "good-guy-music" from XWA... But this is not the main problem, cause I can shut off the music. But the voices are really weird (like Emkay saying "Ich habe Neuigkeiten für Sie"...Lol)

If you have a int'l version (i.e. German) I'm not sure. DS addressed this in an older thread, but I don't remember how it was resolved. Yes, you should still be hearing the XWA music. The TF music conversion is on hold until bugs are worked out. You can delete individually the XWA commander briefing wave files that are not used with TFTC, but you'll have to listen to them manually first.

Hi, I'm having this problem, but I can't find the file I need to test the audio files...or is it now considered useless?
P.S. I have never played TIE Fighter, although I'm told it is the best of the X-Wing series space flight sims. I have all the others. I have a feeling that I'm missing out on the "feel" of the game with XWA audio leaking into various situations.

Waitwaitwait... You play TFTC and you never played TIE? But how did you install TFTC without any TIE cd?
btw: Yes, it's indeed the best of them.

I bought the TIE Fighter Collector's CD cheap, recently. I knew about TFTC because I check out XWA Upgrades every so often. TFTC has issues and I can't get the normal version of TIE Fighter to work at all.  I'm not in the mood to wrestle with the game right now, but I'll give it another go in a few days. |

I understand. TIECD doesn't work on your PC because it's a game which has been made for the old operating system called "MS-DOS". But you can play most of those old DOS games using the DOS Emulator "DOSBOX". ( www.dosbox.com ) If you have any problems with it, just tell me and I'll help you asap. btw you're the first woman I know who plays those games. |

Yeah, I had already downloaded and installed DOSBOX for my next attempt. ;D Before I can play around with it, though, I have to work on some music projects. I've always loved the Star Wars flight games. This may date me, but I loved that old vector-based Star Wars arcade game when it first came out. That thing ate a lot of my quarters. I build and maintain my own PCs. In the back room, I'm sitting on a "legacy system" with a Voodoo 2 card, which I may use to play some of the older games. At this point, I can't decide if it's better to get the old games working on my newish Conroe-based system or to go ahead and build the legacy system. I haven't switched to Vista yet (barf), but when I do, "legacy" may include a lot more games than it does now. (I've worked on Vista systems for other people and can't stand that d**n operating system...mostly because a lot of "new" systems come with only 512 MB of RAM and Vista needs at least a gig if it isn't gonna drive you stark-raving mad.) I haven't completely given up on TFTC. I'm going to try it at least one more time. |

By the way, do you get the inflight music as original midi when you install from TIECD and the XWA-audio when installing from TIE95 or is the inflight music always the same?

My in-flight music is from XWA. I may play TFTC and then try it the old-fashioned way. The only problem is I like eye candy too much. |

I go to play tftc again 2 and a half years later and get the same problem. Start looking through the fora and find this guy had the exact same problem as me! And posted a real solution!!! lol then I realise it was my own post from 2.5yrs ago. Freaky. 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. |

Is there any change of getting a re upload on that test converter? I'm running xp64 and have the wrong mission audio issue as well. I'm really interested in project and have fond memories of playing Tie Fighter as a kid, but playing through it in the newer XWA engine is awesome. I just read through the thread and would like to offer my services as either a tester for the installer or for working on the project. I am an application developer by day and these install and audio conversion issues don't seem to be insurmountable, at least from what I've read in here. It'd be a shame to let all this great work go to waste as people (finally) move to x64.
