In addition, this posting will be updated in each future newsletter. Pilots wishing to submit their pilot scores for ANY mission detailed above are asked to submit their request to the Office of the Wing Commander @ W Call.
The following represent all completed Emperor's Hammer Battles to date (i.e. those which have ALL missions designed and posted in the Newsletters):
BATTLE # NAME MISSIONS IN NLs... 5 Pirate Uprising 10, 12 & 14 9 Tracking the Defectors 11 10 Battle for the Deathstar 17 11 Renegade Battle 13, 15 & 16 19 Tethys' Honeymoon 17 23 Aftermath Battle 18 24 Save the Emperor's DNA 19
Due to the confusing names of some missions attached to this Newsletter, the Wing Commander has renamed the original mission files. This action was necessary to allow the Wing 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 Battle 18/Mission 2 hmrb18m2.tie b1m2fm.tie Battle 22/Mission 1 hmrb22m1.tie hd1w.tie Battle 22/Mission 2 hmrb22m2.tie hd2w.tie Battle 22/Mission 3 hmrb22m3.tie hd3m.tie Battle 22/Mission 4 hmrb22m4.tie hd4m.tie Battle 24/Mission 1 hmrb24m1.tie b1m1fm.tie Battle 24/Mission 2 hmrb24m2.tie b1m2fm.tie Battle 24/Mission 3 hmrb24m3.tie b1m3bm.tie Battle 24/Mission 4 hmrb24m4.tie b1m4im.tieWing Members MUST manually rename the files to the "Old File Name" 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!!!). As detailed below, 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...
MISSION CONTROL CENTER
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). I sincerely apologize to all Members for the inconvenience and headaches this will undoubtedly cause, but I believe they are manageable utilizing a solid directory structure. In addition, this posting will be updated in every subsequent Newsletter so the Members can review the revised directory tree formats.
I recommend the following directory tree (copy of the Wing Commander's) to keep the new files organized:
