Battle over Coruscant Shipset!!!!!!!
« Thread Started on Apr 1, 2007, 11:14pm »
This is no April Fools' joke ;)

Almost two years of development, stagnation, testing and what not... Finally here it is! The ROTS Shipset: Battle over Coruscant is finally available for download. One of the most dramatic battles in Star Wars history is now yours to live through again. Fly your Actis Interceptor through a complete mayhem in the high orbit of Coruscant and try to rescue Supreme Chancellor Palpatine!

Big Kudos to Darksaber who made the awesome looking new installer, which you can download from Vince T's X-Wing HQ.

It sounds sweet.


I reinstalled my game including patch. But when I come in the review and load the map, it freezes and I had to reset my PC.

Is there a solution for that?

That sounds nasty, it shouldn't do that.

With 'review' do you mean the pre-mission briefing or the debriefing after the mission?

It's the pre-mission briefing before the mission unfortunatly.

Hmmm, weird. With patch you meant the 2.02 update, right?

I'll try to sort this out.

yes, the 2.02 patch.

Such things happened to me before, but that was because I missed an opt, maybe 1 is missing in here.

A question, can this mod run with DSUCP installed?

Definitely no.

I've explicitly put it into the readme. The UCP uses pretty much any available slot. This mod would overwrite the OPTs installed with the UCP.

Honestly, I don't have an answer to this. We never intended it to run with the UCP.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
There is a problem with the v1.0 uninstall function which, when run, will delete more folders from your start menu than it should. Darksaber is currently working on an update for the whole patch. But for now, here is a hotfix for the current version:

If you have installed the v1.0 patch, please download this v1.0 HOTFIX to replace the defected uninstall utility in your XWA directory.

This is great. But I'm having a few bugs...
when I try to use the new ROTS cruisers in the combat simulator, they always end up 100+ km away, whether I set the starting distance at 1km or 9km doesn't matter.
Also, I can't get MXvTED2 to work right. I'm trying to install some other craft, like the geonosian fighter, some republic ships, and other naboo ships. Why do I keep getting errors when I try to load my xwalliance.exe file? Every time I restart mxvted2, it says "Error: File not found." Did the program corrupt my XWA .exe file? How do I get the mxvted program to find the file, even though the .ini file perfectly states where the .exe file is?

And one more thing. I run XWA on an emulator, because I lost my CD a long time ago. And I can't find my disk 2 .mds file. Where can I re-download one?

You guys are great. Keep up the good work and maybe soon I'll learn how to create my own ships and contribute to the XWA Upgrade Project or the Blue Phantom Project.

Q1.:
That's a common problem with all custom models that hasn't been solved. There's two ways to get around this:
- edit the skirmish file with AlliEd
- Allways 'sandwich' the new ships between stock XWA models. Like this:
1: playercraft
2: Venator
3: Victory SD
4: Valiant
5: Lancer Frigate
etc.

Q2: Hmmm, not sure. You might want to ask over at the XWA UPgrade forums.

Q3: Sorry, can't help you there.

Is there a way for me to download the clone wars ships (i.e. the ships in this new shipset) one at a time, so that I can determine (through mxvted) which slot/species it will replace?

One more question (because XWA Upgrade isn't answering any of my questions, and you guys are).
What do I do with the .bmp files that often come in the zip files I download? am I supposed to rename them to .dat and put them in the resdata folder? :-[

No, you'll have to use DATech or XWA DAT Cutomizer to import the bmps and apply the skirmish pics to the craft installed. There is a tutorial on how to use DATech on Darksaber's site.

I couldn't find a tutorial at Darksaber's site for the DAT customizer, but I can pretty much teach myself from here. Thanks.
Is there a place where I can go to find out what ships in the Battle over Coruscant shipset replaces from the UCP?
The Readme files in the UCP and the Coruscant shipset say that they shouldn't be used in conjunction with any other mods, but I am reading posts all over that imply that people use both shipsets. So that's why I was wondering which ships the Coruscant shipset replaces in the UCP to make room for the new stuff.

Alright, here's the slot layout.

Slot - UCP - RotS
1 - X-Wing - ARC-170
36 - K-Wing - Droid Fighter
40 - TIE Lancer - Actis Interceptor
41 - Rapier Starfighter - V-Wing
49 - TIE Scimitar - Droid TriFighter
124 - Modular Star Hauler - Valiant
125 - Eclipse II - Acclamator
151 - Bulwark II - Banking Clan Frigate
152 - Dauntless Battlecruiser - Recusant
184 - MC-104 Odysseus - T.F. Battleship
185 - Sovereign SSD - Invisible Hand
191 - TIE Cyclone - Planetary Orbit

The reason why I do not recommend installing the ROTS shipset over the UCP is that the specNos used by the RotS ships may be applied to different slots than those of the UCP so installing the RotS shipset onto the UCP may mix things up
