# EH Account. You need to be logged in to your account! If you do not have one, what are you waiting for? Visit https://tc.emperorshammer.org/join.php and register with the Emperor's Hammer!
# Backup your existing Battles and Missions. See further details below per each game
# Ensure you have an application that can unzip ZIP files

=== Backup the Default Battles and Missions ===
Before you begin, backup the battles and missions that come with the game. The purpose is to avoid having to reinstall the game in order to restore these battles. See the details per each game below.

==== Xwing ====
# Go to the directory you have installed Xwing in. Examples: '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\STAR WARS X-Wing\''' or '''C:\GOG Games\Star Wars - X-Wing'''
# Open the directory that you are using ('''classic''' / '''collectors_cd''' / '''remastered''' for STEAM or '''X-wing (1993)''' / '''X-Wing Collector's CD (1994)''' / '''X-wing (1998)''' for GOG). In some cases for Xwing, the folders MISSION and RESOURCE may exist only in '''Classic''' / '''X-wing (1993)'''.
# Create a '''_BACKUP''' folder and copy those two folders into that folder. Repeat for all three in their respective folders ('''classic''' / '''collectors_cd''' / '''remastered''' for STEAM or '''X-wing (1993)''' / '''X-Wing Collector's CD (1994)''' / '''X-wing (1998)''' for GOG).

==== TIE Fighter ====
# Go to the directory you have installed TIE Fighter in. Examples: '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\STAR WARS TIE Fighter\''' or '''C:\GOG Games\Star Wars - TIE Fighter'''
# Open the directory that you are using ('''classic''' / '''collectors_cd''' / '''remastered''' for STEAM or '''TIE Fighter (1994)''' / '''TIE Fighter Collector's CD (1995)''' / '''TIE Fighter (1998)''' for GOG). Unlike Xwing, in TIE Fighter, the '''MISSION''' and '''RESOURCE''' folders exist in all three.
# Create a '''_BACKUP''' folder and copy those two folders into that folder. Repeat for all three in their respective folders ('''classic''' / '''collectors_cd''' / '''remastered''' for STEAM or '''TIE Fighter (1994)''' / '''TIE Fighter Collector's CD (1995)''' / '''TIE Fighter (1998)''' for GOG).

==== Xwing vs TIE Fighter ====
# Go to the directory you have installed Xwing vs TIE Fighter in. Examples: '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\STAR WARS Xwing vs TIE Fighter\''' or '''C:\GOG Games\Star Wars - Xwing vs TIE Fighter'''
# Create a '''_BACKUP''' folder and copy the following folders:
#* Battle
#* Combat
#* Melee
#* Resource
#* Train

==== Xwing vs TIE Fighter: Balance of Power ====
# Go to the directory you have installed Xwing vs TIE Fighter: Balance of Power in. Notice it is typically a subfolder of Xwing vs TIE Fighter! Examples: '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\STAR WARS Xwing vs TIE Fighter\BalanceOfPower''' or '''C:\GOG Games\Star Wars - Xwing vs TIE Fighter\BalanceOfPower'''
# Create a '''_BACKUP''' folder and copy the following folders:
#* Battle
#* Campaign
#* Combat
#* Melee
#* Resource
#* Train

==== Xwing Alliance ====
# Go to the directory you have installed Xwing Alliance in. Examples: '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\STAR WARS Xwing Alliance''' or '''C:\GOG Games\Star Wars - Xwing Alliance'''
# Create a '''_BACKUP''' folder and copy the following folders:
#* Combat
#* Melee
#* Missions

==== Galactic Battlegrounds ====
# Go to the directory you have installed Galactic Battlegrounds in. Examples: '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\STAR WARS Galactic Battlegrounds''' or '''C:\GOG Games\Star Wars - Galactic Battlegrounds'''
# Create a '''_BACKUP''' folder and copy the following folders:
#* Campaign
#* Scenario

==== Jedi Academy ====
# Go to the directory you have installed Jedi Academy in. Examples: '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\STAR WARS Jedi Academy''' or '''C:\GOG Games\Star Wars - Jedi Academy'''
# Create a '''_BACKUP''' folder and copy the following folders:
#* gamedata/base

----

== Downloading a Custom Mission ==

For our example we will assume we want to download the battle '''''TIE-TC Battle 97''''' (<game>-<battle type> Battle #). TIE signifies this is a TIE Fighter custom battle.

# Log In at: [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/admin.php Emperor's Hammer]
#* [[Image:Eh log in.png|498px]]
# Visit the [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/battlecenter.php Battle Center]
# Click on [https://tc.emperorshammer.org/battlecenter.php?id=types Battle Listing]
#* [[Image:Battlecenter.png|580px]]
# Select the Battle Type (e.g. TIE-TC in our example)
#* [[Image:Battlelist.png|517px]]
# Scroll down to the battle you wish to download and click on it
#* [[Image:Select battle.png|352px]]
# Left-click with your mouse (or Right Click and select ''Save Link As'') on the '''ZIP File''' Link
#* [[Image:Save battle zipv2.png|470px]]

You have successfully downloaded the zip. Locate it on your drive (e.g. ''TIETC97.zip''). The typical location for the Chrome Web browser is: C:\Users\Admin\Downloads

----

== Copying the Custom Mission to your Game ==

For each game it is slightly different but after you have done it once or twice you will get the hang of it.
Unzip the zip file you downloaded into a folder of your choosing and then proceed to copy the files as described below.

==== Xwing ====
# Go to the directory you have installed Xwing in. Examples: '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\STAR WARS X-Wing\''' or '''C:\GOG Games\Star Wars - X-Wing'''
# You will find under the sub-directory '''classic''' two folders: '''MISSION''' and '''RESOURCE'''
# Copy the .TIE files to the MISSION folder
# Copy/Overwrite the .LFD file to the RESOURCE folder
# Once you enter the game, if the missions and battle were copied in:
#* CLASSIC: press the ESC button and select CLASSIC
#* REMASTERED or COLLECTORS_CD: press the ESC button and select NEW MISSIONS
