INTRODUCTION X-Wing Alliance (XWA) has a far more powerful game engine than Tie Fighter (TIE) or X-Wing vs Tie Fighter (XvT). XWA allows you to play your mission into 4 different regions, with up to 96 crafts at one time (96 crafts per region); it also allows you to give more complex orders to the crafts, with 4 orders per region, and 8 waypoints available per order. An other improvement over TIE and XvT are the animated briefings: you are not limited anymore to display only mission flight groups in these briefings, you can display quite anything you want; furthermore, you can make the icons move within your briefings, change the region displayed or even display information on a particular type of ship. XWA offers you enough materials to make very complex missions, with the main limitation being your creativity. To make XWA custom missions, you will need two things: some precise ideas of what you want to do, and the technical skills to make these ideas into something real. This course will try to teach you those technical skills. Sorry, it can't help you to be more creative. :P The first part of this course will make you more familiar with the AlliED interface, the second part will deal with mission creation step by step. Some FAQ are answered in the last part of this course. Passing Grade on this course is 80%. |
