Play x wing alliance online Videos

+ThinWhiteDude I upload the video on dailymotion and is uncensored there with all music and sound. Link on the description

+MrNerdBachMike You can't mod the engine, just some content.

Let's just wait for GOG.com to release it.There will be plenty of mods once that happens.

+Seraphil1 Thanks. It also brings me nostalgia to watch it. That is why I made this video.Don't miss the "part 2" video. Is more about a custom mission I made, but is about same game and same cinematographic style.

XWA is the best of the Holland SW sims both technically and gameplaywise. However, TIE Fighter has more character. The plot is interesting, playing as Empire is an unique approach, it takes you places that were largely new and unfamiliar especially back then, it also has that unique music that is bit more detached from the movie themes than X-Wing's midi music was. Almost all the later games of the era then just recycled John Williams music endlessly. That got old fast. I seem to recall TIE Fighter being the easiest of the 4 games too. That may also be a factor for popularity.X-Wing Alliance is the play I'd rather play today (I'm actually doing that), but it doesn't beat TIE Fighter when it comes reminiscing.

Maybe it's because in TIE Fighter you get to play as the Empire and fly TIE Fighters, and games in that time almost always focused on the Rebellion. It was the novelty and still is because games still almost always focus on the good guys.

+interlinkknight True enough, it just seems that nobody ever talks about Alliance whenever they mention Tie Fighter. Maybe it was the timeframe. The Flight Sim genre was losing popularity and Episode 1 was (for better or worse) on everyone's minds and we started getting a bunch a crap Prequel era games. Though Starfighter and Battle for Naboo weren't bad.

+MrNerdBachMike I agree. But trust me, people remember still alliance. I use to play on gameranger and almost noone play xwing or tie fighter. There was only active players in "xwing vs tie fighter" or alliance. Alliance still is the best overall, specially with upgrades models.

+SoundsofDecay  Play it on Game Ranger. Tag is NSNS_Keeper.

+Jonathan Lundkvist I know you use FRAPS but I thought I'd share this information, from Veloxi who also plays XvT on gameranger and posted on the gog forums:"Hey, it took me a while to figure out too. I'm using Open Broadcaster Software, and I have it set to monitor capture with a custom resolution of 640x480. That's the ONLY way I've been able to properly capture it. "I don't want to have to pay for FRAPS so this pleased me since OBS is free.

+Jonathan Lundkvist Have you tried using raptr? I cannot for the life of me get it to work. Do you not use gameranger anymore? I've added people from the gog forums and it looks like many have not been on there in weeks.

+Dwarven Thane Last time I tried, OBS did not work either.

+Jonathan Lundkvist Thanks. I have Open Broadcaster Software because it's free, haven't tried that yet. I think I just added you on gameranger, if you are JonathanRL:)

+Dwarven Thane Fraps is the only thing that worked for me.

+Jonathan Lundkvist Oh hey, fast response:) NOW I remember, that first song is from RS and I just found it again on here, thanks for that nostalgia burst.Your vid made me glad I bothered to DL Teamspeak again for XvT MP, what a great way to increase immersion. I plan to upload videos as well, once I figure out how.I've tried to record with raptr and it doesn't seem to be working. What did you use?

+Dwarven Thane Youtube does not allow the Win95 soundtrack so I shut it off and replaced with tracks from Rogue Squadron, Force Commander and TIE Figther

Quick question, do you know if it'll work in Windows Vista? I know games on GOG tend to have compatibility issues with that OS

lol; YOU HAVE DESTROYED A FRIENDLY CRAFT!!!! Yeah, no kidding. That's because I'm suppose to you dumbass. I bet Ace really did say that in real life (real life in the Star Wars universe).

@SuperDarthVader1 The only ideas I have is if you destroyed the Venix before Emon picked Aeron up, or if you were identified by one of the Imperial craft.

Having a little trouble installing the files for upgraded textures any ideas how to do?

Why does Emkay need to email you if he's sitting right there?

noooo... gilgamesh is going to kill you for that!

YOU HAVE DESTROYED A FRIENDLY CRAFT!!!

When playing Alliance on multiplayer using upgrade models, both players need to have the same upgrade pack with the same settings when they install it. If any setting is different, game will not work properly when trying to play together. Also upgrade models in many computers make the game lag. That is why i prefer playing original models, solo and online.

connection problems are cause by many things. The most common problems are cause by: firewall, router and different versions. Both have to have same version with no mods.

gameranger still wont let me connect to star wars x wing alliance online it keeps aborting me and sending me back to desktop anyones help is really appreciated

I have an issue, whenever myself and a friend try to play it stops and says "waiting on packet" or something.. can you help?

That was my guess, since weapons, hitbox etc are changed aswell. oh well, now just find someone to play with ~

Thank you for doing this video. I have been wanting to play xwing alliance over internet for a good time.

Grrr youtube, why you no load D: most likely have to remove those upgraded models for multiplayer eh? :3

Yes, it does work with X-wing vs tie fighter and even with the extension Balance of power

Thank you so much! This looks great, but will it work with Windows 7?

Of course. I have Windows 7 64bit and i don't have any problem

will this also work with SW X wing vs tie fighter

Are you using the ultimate craft pack?

You... are my hero. :D

I WILLLLL

+★iteachvader★ On this video, no. All you see is what was capture by the recorder. I only join all together and add sound effects, music, etc.

+interlinkknight Do you ever greenscreen any sequences?

+★iteachvader★ I suppose is all about taking your time to place the camera in the right place. Also editing helps.

+interlinkknight I can do that with the ship I pilot, but I'm never able to get scenes quite as dramatic as yours.

In the mission editor I can set what each ship will do, and when they will do it. For the x-wing, I just play the game. Like 4:05, I wait the ship to explode and I go at full speed toward it and avoid the debris. All this while recording the replay. Later I can play the replay and select where I want the camera, and move the camera with the joystick.

+KABZProductions Yes, I play all missions on balance of power extension of XvT. Don't remember that mission in particular because I play it long ago. Would be cool make more videos, but takes too much time and effort. This was my last video of this kind. But thank you for your words of support. Cheers.

+Phil Burkhill Thanks

Haha you don't know what an apologist is. I just pointed out something stupid and you keep rationalizing it. That is what an apologist does. I am just stating since they stated that it was the bulk of the rebel fleet and there is a limit to how many ship placed. they should have made the rebel and imperial fleet equal size because it looks kinda pathetic. Or they should have left that statement of the rebel fleet size out

The second corrected this flaw and was only destroyed because 1) snubfighters were able to fly into the incomplete superstructure and destroy the main reactor and 2) the energy shield generated on the planet below that would have prevented this until the Death Star was complete was destroyed. Even the energy shield was protected by a legion of Imperial troops, and was only destroyed because of Ewok intervention.

Someone doesn't know their star wars lore. The Executor did have a secondary command bridge, however due to the suddenness of the bridges destruction, the chain reaction caused by an A-Wing colliding with the command bridge and its proximity to the Death star, control couldn't be re-established before the Executor collided with the Death star due to the Death Stars gravity well.

So, those 12 capital ships and 16 starfighers where the bulk of the rebel alliance fleet? at 0:39 If they wanted to show a big fleet. they should have toned the imperial fleet or made the rebels bigger because now it looks really unbelievable that the rebel fleet could have done anything against the imperials. you also need to look up what an apologist is.

The thing that's always pissed me off about the Executor's demise is that nobody thought to give it any secondary command modules just in case the primary bridge were out of commission. Then again, these are the same geniuses who consistently engineer the Death Stars with easily-exploitable Achilles' heels.

*Looks at massive fleet of Star Destroyers.* Oooo, nice. Impressive for an older game like this. That is a fair number of ships. Not enough Alliance ships though. Hey, wait a minute! In the movie the Falcon was inside the Death Star when the Executor was destroyed!

Are you some weird star wars apologist or something? Or do you believe that the alliance fleet in the movies and in this mission was really the full fleet of the rebel alliance, like it was mentioned in the game.

If Ace Azzameen is flying the Millennium Falcon during the attack on the second Death Star then where is Lando Calrissian? Or does this mean Ace is actually the little guy with gills?! He must be adopted.

So if this was all of the rebel alliance fleet, it is kinda pathetic. But then, it makes the Imperial fleet even more incompetent

welll they could have made it a more even battle between the Imperials and Rebels. Instead of flooding only Imperial Ships

They probably did. But I'm not sure even the Empire is prepared for a snub fighter to kamikaze their flagship.

It's possible, but I still find it hard to imagine they didn't have drills for that sort of thing. Oh well!

So wait. . . they got the licensing to use the Star Wars music but not the voices from the movie?

You fly as Lando and Ace is a part of the Falcon's crew. At least I believe that's how it was.

Did you notice the first casualty of the Death Star was.. the Liberty? Manly tears were shed.

I remember playing this game at the tender age of 8 years old. "OH THE BLUE LASER LOOKS COOL WHEN I SHOOT IT WITH THE RED ONES!" "IMPERIALS??! THOSE ARE DA BAD GUIZ KILL DEM ALL!" GetDaved "If you fire while moving your shots do more damage" "I better wait to recharge my shields" Oh GetDaved, you make me realize just how sub-optimal my childhood was.

So, I have a few questions: 1: Why exactly do you hate Y-wings? (What was displayed in the video seems to be more an AI issue than a Ship one...) and 2: How many different firing patterns does the X-wing have? (and what are they?) 3: What are the A and B wings? I don't remember seeing much of them. =\

Death Count: 2 I like the Alliance Fleet at the start and end of the mission, really gives it that authentic feel. Got a good laugh at the name/gem talk at the end.

Ahhh, that's happened to me, ally plowing into my ship. Though typically it's right before I win a mission, and I'm in something more fragile like a Tie-Fighter.

Sorry dave but i like the Y-Wings without them the Alliance would have lost A-Wings on the other hand......*shudders*

"Brave Sir Robin ran away..." If you don't know where that is from then your life is incomplete.

Don't forget that one A-Wing took out a star destroyer single-handed!!! By... crashing into it.

Oh poor Dave, those pesky Y wings bigger enemies than the empire ever was.

The y-wing crash is the first time i remember you being actually angry :P

I try not to and then they go and do something like this. Every time.

i can just see you sitting in the cockpitt, yelling at Y-wings now XD

Opal sounds a bit better pronounced in french imo. Kind like O-pale

At least you don't have to deal with Corso in this game, right?

Y Wings. Look like ducks and fly like morbidly obese chickens.

Thank you for cranking up your volume! Much easier to hear.

+Yoroshku Oh yeah besten Dank! Werde ich für #37 mal updaten!

+Fionex Inwiefern?^^

+Nicolas Kaiser +Kelloggx Dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen, auch von mir, Herzlichen Glückwunsch Ace :D ...ich fand das damals aber auch schon extrem stimmungsvoll, keine Ahnung warum, als würde man in einem Oldtimer fliegen ;) Na und für die Zukunft, einen kleinen Vorschlag, da es wie gesagt auf meiner Kiste nicht läuft, hast du ja von mir schon bekommen. Das wär' schon was, würde ich mich freuen : ) For the empire! :D :D :D

+Kelloggx X-Wing vs Tie-Fighter mit dem Kampagnen-Ad-on "Balance of Power"? Wäre ein Vorschlag. Ansonsten lass ich mich mal überraschen, was du noch so Let´s playst. Auf jeden Fall gehörst du seit diesem LP zu meinem Lieblingsletsplayern und ich werde auch deine zukünftigen Projekte auf jeden Fall aufmerksam verfolgen ;)

+Nicolas Kaiser Danke dir! So langsam sollte ich mir Gedanken machen, was als nächstes Projekt erscheinen soll^^
