Solohan50

Solohan50:

[[Image:solohan_transparent.png|thumb|<center>LC "Snuggles" Solohan50</center>]]

==Overview==

Solohan50 was CMDR of [[Lambda Squadron|Lambda Squadron]] replacing [[Genie|Genie]], who would later become the BGCOM of [[Battlegroup I|Battlegroup I]]. He later chose to step down from the position due to personal issues and is now a Flight Member in the 1-3 position of [[Lambda Squadron|Lambda Squadron]]. He was replaced as Lambda's CMDR by [[Gytheran|Gytheran]], the squadron's previous Executive Officer. Solohan50 was the first Ewok to join the TC and, during his tenure, was one of a handful of non-Human CMDRs in the organization.

==History==

Solohan50 joined the TC in January ABY 29 and was assigned to [[Lambda Squadron|Lambda Squadron]]. He rose up the ranks quickly, being promoted to FL in July ABY 29 and then becoming SQXO in December ABY 29. The promotion to SQXO was a surprise to him, as [[Genie|Genie]] failed to tell him of the promotion beforehand. Solohan50 would learn this information when [[Plif|Plif]] posted the announcement in Discord. In February ABY 31, he became the CMDR of [[Lambda Squadron|Lambda Squadron]] and held that position through May of ABY 31, before stepping down.

Solohan50 was not an Ewok when he joined the TC initially. He was a human who was transformed into an Ewok against his will by then-CMDR of [[Lambda Squadron|Lambda Squadron]], [[Genie|Genie]]. The exact processes that [[Genie|Genie]] used to enact this transformation are unknown, but the transformation was permanent. It's speculated that this transformation is why Solohan50 likes to create fires everywhere he goes.

==Notable Achievements==

Solohan50 often brags about being the worst pilot in the TC and the hangar crew of the [[Hammer|Hammer]] corroborates this. There are no official records that detail how many times he has crashed into the [[Hammer|Hammer]], but that is likely due to the crashes themselves destroying the data. It is speculated that his repeated accidents are mainly due to his diminutive stature and inability to see over the controls of his TIE but this has never been confirmed.

Despite these challenges, Solohan50 has been one of the TC's most active pilots since he joined. He was one of the pilots who was instrumental in [[Lambda Squadron|Lambda Squadron]]'s record breaking win during Squadron (Re)Mobilization 3, completing the objectives of the two-month long competition within a few days of them being announced.

He was awarded a [[Gold Star of the Empire|Gold Star of the Empire]] for his strong participation in Raise the Flag 2021, earning 6th place overall and helping secure a 2nd place finish for [[Lambda Squadron|Lambda Squadron]] during the event.

His performance in Raise the Flag 2022 was not as strong, but it was enough to place 20th overall and helped ensure that [[Lambda Squadron|Lambda Squadron]] earned 1st place over.

==Personality==

Despite his seemingly cute and furry exterior, Solohan50 would become a polarizing figure during his tenure in the TIE Corps. He made many friends among the rank-and-file pilots he flew with but also drew the ire of many TIE Corps admin due to his constant advocating for change and growth inside the organization. His callsign of "Snuggles" is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the conflicting nature of his teddy-bear-like exterior and his feisty and inflammatory attitude, given to him by number pilots of [[Lambda Squadron|Lambda Squadron]].

Solohan50: /* Applicable to TIE, XvT, and XWA - Replace DDraw file */

[[Category:Guides]]
==Overview==

This article is to give specific troubleshooting tips for the TC's games. Currently it's focused on the older flight sim games, specifically TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, and X-Wing Alliance. It may be expanded to other TC games in the future. '''NOTE:''' This article assumes that you have read the [[TIE_Corps_New_Member_Guide#Custom_Missions|TIE Corps New Member Guide]]'s section on Custom Missions and that you're looking for specific troubleshooting tips for the games.

==Applicable to XW, TIE, XvT, and XWA - Replace DDraw file==

The flight sims were created a long time ago <s>in a galaxy far, far away</s> and struggle to use newer versions of Direct3D. By replacing these files, you tend to fix a lot of weird issues that the games have. You can download the files using one of the following links (see the notes):

*https://github.com/rdoeffinger/xwa_ddraw_d3d11 (this one is typically recommended, but it's not been updated since Jan 2, 2022)
*https://github.com/JeremyAnsel/xwa_ddraw_d3d11 (May only be for XWA? This one appears to be newer, having been updated as recently as April 2023)

Once you open the links:

#Click the '''Releases''' button on the right side of the page. Download the .zip file of the newest version released.
#Extract the ddraw.cfg and the ddraw.dll to your game directory and allow them to overwrite any existing files.
#You need to repeat this process for every game that you are using, including any different versions you're playing. TIE has three different directories: TIE95, Collector's CD, and Remastered (1998). XvT has two different directions: one for XvT and one for BoP. You would need to repeat these instructions in each, individual game directory for this to take effect.

'''NOTE:''' The ddraw.cfg can be opened in a text editor and has multiple options/enhancements that you may find useful. Please read the documentation on the Github page(s) for more information.

==TIE Fighter==

===Disable in-game music===

Once you have the game open, hit Esc and turn the Music volume to 0. Having music enabled can cause the game to crash.

==X-Wing vs TIE Fighter==

===Disable in-game music===

Navigate to the game's directory and open the Config.cfg in a text editor like Notepad. Change the value for "music" and "datapad_music" to 0, then save your changes. If you don't do this, missions will often crash immediately after you complete a mission and the voice over says "Primary Mission Objectives Complete".

[[File:XvT Disable Music.png]]

==X-Wing Alliance==

===Patches Fail to Install===

The ship patches for XWA do not use the EHSP and, instead, install via .bat file. There are a couple of different issues that can occur.

====Incorrect Directory====

If you experience the error below when trying to install the patch, this likely means that your patch is in the wrong location. The patches must exist in a specific folder in your game directory to work properly.

[[File:XWA Patch Error.PNG]]

The patches must exist inside the EHPatch folder inside of your game directory. The typical paths used on modern operating systems are listed below:

Steam - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars X-Wing Alliance\EHPatch
GOG - C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Star Wars - X-Wing Alliance\EHPatch

====Modify Ship Patch====

If the Command Prompt window flashes for a second and disappears without any text showing, this means that your patch needs to be modified to work properly on modern operating systems.

To fix the patch, do the following:

#Open the .bat file in a text editor like Notepad (right-click the .bat file and select Open With -> Notepad).
#Modify the line at the beginning that reads:
"choice I have read and agree with the above disclaimer"

And change it to

"choice /M "I have read and agree with the above disclaimer"

If you have done it correctly, you should receive the following message when you attempt to run the .bat file:

#Extract the ddraw.cfg and the ddraw.dll to your game directory and allow them to overwrite any existing files.
#You need to repeat this process for every game that you are using, including any different versions you're playing. TIE has three different directories: TIE95, Collector's CD, and Remastered (1998). XvT has two different directions: one for XvT and one for BoP. You would need to repeat these instructions in each, individual game directory for this to take effect.

'''NOTE:''' The ddraw.cfg can be opened in a text editor and has multiple options/enhancements that you may find useful. Please read the documentation on the Github page(s) for more information.

==TIE Fighter==

===Disable in-game music===

Once you have the game open, hit Esc and turn the Music volume to 0. Having music enabled can cause the game to crash.

==X-Wing vs TIE Fighter==

===Disable in-game music===

Navigate to the game's directory and open the Config.cfg in a text editor like Notepad. Change the value for "music" and "datapad_music" to 0, then save your changes. If you don't do this, missions will often crash immediately after you complete a mission and the voice over says "Primary Mission Objectives Complete".

===Patches Fail to Install===

The ship patches for XWA do not use the EHSP and, instead, install via .bat file. There are a couple of different issues that can occur.

====Incorrect Directory====

If you experience the error below when trying to install the patch, this likely means that your patch is in the wrong location. The patches must exist in a specific folder in your game directory to work properly.

[[File:XWA Patch Error.PNG]]

The patches must exist inside the EHPatch folder inside of your game directory. The typical paths used on modern operating systems are listed below:

Steam - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars X-Wing Alliance\EHPatch
GOG - C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Star Wars - X-Wing Alliance\EHPatch

====Modify Ship Patch====

If the Command Prompt window flashes for a second and disappears without any text showing, this means that your patch needs to be modified to work properly on modern operating systems.

To fix the patch, do the following:

#Open the .bat file in a text editor like Notepad (right-click the .bat file and select Open With -> Notepad).
#Modify the line at the beginning that reads:
"choice I have read and agree with the above disclaimer"

And change it to

"choice /M "I have read and agree with the above disclaimer"

If you have done it correctly, you should receive the following message when you attempt to run the .bat file:

Solohan50: Created page with "==Overview== Solohan50 is the current CMDR of Lambda Squadron replacing Genie, who would later become the BGCOM of Battlegroup I|Battlegroup I..."

==Overview==

Solohan50 is the current CMDR of [[Lambda Squadron|Lambda Squadron]] replacing [[Genie|Genie]], who would later become the BGCOM of [[Battlegroup I|Battlegroup I]]. He is the first Ewok to join the TC and is one of a handful of non-Human CMDRs in the organization.

==History==

Solohan50 joined the TC in January ABY 29 and was assigned to [[Lambda Squadron|Lambda Squadron]]. He rose up the ranks quickly, being promoted to FL in July ABY 29 and then becoming SQXO in December ABY 29. The promotion to SQXO was a surprise to him, as [[Genie|Genie]] failed to tell him of the promotion beforehand. Solohan50 would learn this information when [[Plif|Plif]] posted the announcement in Discord. In February ABY 31, he became the CMDR of [[Lambda Squadron|Lambda Squadron]] and currently holds that position.

Solohan50 was not an Ewok when he joined the TC initially. He was a human who was transformed into an Ewok against his will by then-CMDR of [[Lambda Squadron|Lambda Squadron]], [[Genie|Genie]]. The exact processes that [[Genie|Genie]] used to enact this transformation are unknown, but the transformation was permanent. It's speculated that this transformation is why Solohan50 likes to create fires everywhere he goes.

==Notable Achievements==

Solohan50 often brags about being the worst pilot in the TC and the hangar crew of the [[Hammer|Hammer]] corroborates this. There are no official records that detail how many times he has crashed into the [[Hammer|Hammer]], but that is likely due to the crashes themselves destroying the data.

He was awarded a [[Gold Star of the Empire|Gold Star of the Empire]] for his strong participation in RTF 2021.
