Due to the confusing names of some missions attached to this Newsletter, the Fleet
Commander has renamed the original mission files. This action was necessary to allow
the Fleet Commander to attach all new missions to the Newsletter submission to AOL in
one *.zip file. Consequently, a brief summary is presented below for your convenience:
MISSION CURRENT OLD FILE DESCRIPTION NAME NAME IW Battle 1/Mission 1 iwb1m1.tie b8m1dm.tie IW Battle 1/Mission 2 iwb1m2.tie b8m2dm.tie IW Battle 1/Mission 3 iwb1m3.tie b8m3dm.tie ESF Mission 1 b1m1fm.esf b1m1fm.tie Battle 29/Mission 2 b1m2fm.xcm b2.tie
Any Members with questions on "bugs" in any of the missions, comments, inaccuracies,
etc. are encouraged to contact the Tactical Officer, Admiral Shekinah (Shekinah)...
There has been much confusion regarding copying and playing mission files. Briefly,
these files must be directly copied to your c:\tie\mission subdirectory. However, BE
CAUTIONED...you MUST backup your originals files currently in the c:\tie\mission
subdirectory or they will be copied over and lost...This is due to the fact that all new
missions will have one of the same names as the original missions (apparently, edited
missions can only replace the named missions in the original TIE Fighter Game).
Fleet Members MUST manually rename the mission files to the "Old File Name" listed
above and copy into the c:\tie\mission subdirectory for proper use (REMEMBER...
Backup ALL original files prior to copying new mission files into the c:\tie\mission
subdirectory!!!). Members are encouraged to utilize a rigid subdirectory system rather
than continually renaming mission files in order to play the new missions more easily and
effectively...
ALL Members are notified that General Lucas/MarkFlux (CMDR/GN Lucas/Beta-
1/SSD Avr) has been faithfully updated his mission launcher (hammer.bat) files in
recent newsletters. Members who don't have the time to manage a complex directory
structure are advised to use the batch files...
