Welcome to XP, this is my first game editor. So far I'm happy with the
results; I've got a very simple interface, which uses the cursor, hot keys,
ENTER, and ESC to navigate the entire interface.

-= About the Author =-
I decided to do one for X-WING, after looking at the editors that are out
there. Most of them were either a pain to use, Buggy, or incomplete.
Currently, my editor supports ALL versions of X-WING and ALL versions of
Tie Fighter. It also supports most of the things that can be edited.
I spent many, many, many hours deciphering the Pilot, Mission, Briefing, and
other select locations in other X-WING files (The Briefing was the hardest).
There is very little I don't know about these files, I have several
programs I programmed in-house that I use to make sure that the files are
deciphered correctly. Also the "X-WING Official Strategy Guide" was helpful
by making sure that the first three TOD's were deciphered correctly.
A little about myself, well I've been programming since C64 days. I also
have formal training on the hardware and Software repair of both Macintosh's
and PC's. Also thanks to "id Software" I have some experience in doing on-line
bbs tech support. (Plug: Any game company want to hire me to do On-line Tech
support?) In other words, I know a lot about a lot of different areas, from
programming software to fixing hardware and software problems to phone and
email tech support.
-= BUGS =-
Hopefully you won't find any bugs, but if you manage to find a bug that I
missed during the Testing cycle, Please let me know via the addresses
below.
-= Shareware =-
Since I spent so much time on this project (I never guessed it would take
me this much time), I'm releasing it as shareware for $15. Please note,
all upgrades to date have been FREE! As far as I can see I plan on continuing
this policy. If you can download the latest shareware version then your
upgrade is free. So, $15 is a reasonable price considering I plan on doing
still a ton of new stuff with this program in each release. Even though
X-WING & Tie Fighter are separate games, one registration gets you support for
both programs in ONE editor!
X-WING Support:
What I've done to the shareware version is deactivated Tour 4 & 5 editing,
Deactivated Mission Saving, and Removed the copy protection removal function.
Otherwise it's fully working version of X-WING Pro.
Tie Fighter Support:
What I've done to the shareware version is deactivate Tour 6+ editing.
and removed the copy protection removal function.
XR:
XR's Limitation is only being able to activate it 3 times.

In my many (many!) years of BBS'ing, I have never found a better BBS than
Software Creations. I am not alone in thinking Software Creations is the BEST
BBS. They have TWO years in a row won BEST BBS from the "Boardwatch" magazine,
which is a BBS industry magazine. In addition to being able to find my
products on-line on Software Creations, you can also find several other major
shareware and commercial software vendors on-line.
-= XR.COM =-
This utility, I put together so that you don't have to exit X-WING to revive
your pilot.
X-Wing has built into it a Revive feature, but it will take your score,
rating and other information and reset it. XR has been designed to restore
your pilots the same way the game does except, it will not steal your score
or any other stuff.
When you die or get captured, Hit ALT-R when X-Wing starts to play the
animation of you being captured or being sent off dead. This will cause XR
to kick in, and revive your pilot BEFORE you get back to the main menu. If
you wait to long and you do it at the menu, you will have to click on the
information button, and then return back to the main menu.
Upon hitting the HOTKEY, XR will beep once, then after r
