Hacking X-Wing Alliance/Mods/Map Making

Post by HemlockGrey »

Is there any map maker for XWA aside from ALLIED? It's a good program, but I don't want to shell out any money for it.

Futhermore, is it possible to 'hack' or mod XWA, in such a way as to add new ships or correct horrible mistakes(SLAMs come to mind)?

Because I just got an idea for a kickass XWA campaign, but I'd like to not have to spend money on it, and it'd be much cooler if I could throw in some custom ships.

On second thought...

That site is ok, but I can't find any information on actually inserting the models into the game, or hacking the stats...

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

There's a tutorial, plus if you can't find it there, try the links.
