Introduction

Below is a collection of links to resources for mission creation.

Imperial University Courses

The Mission Creation and Beta Testing Standards (MCBS) course is required as a prerequisite for all other platform design courses and required to function as a Tactical Surveyor within the Tactical Office.

A mission creator must have passed the misson design course for the platform they are creating for

Mission Editors

To be able to build a custom mission you will need to be able to create the specialized mission files needed by the games.

There used to be multiple mission editors but most have had there support discontinued. Currently YOGEME (Ye Olde Galactic Empire Mission Editor) is the only mission editor receiving regular updates and support.

Other mission editors may be used but may not support the latest features added by mods such as TIE Fighter Total Conversion.

+ All software by Troy Dangerfield can be also downloaded from his website at troyed.com

Wiki Guides

The course notes of the various IU courses contain much guidance on how to make missions using the editors. But additional guides also exist outside those courses.

Internal Wiki

For a guide on the different functions of YOGEME, first refer to the help file built into the software but an additional guide has been written and placed on the EH Wiki, X-Wing Alliance Advanced Mission Creation - Note: This guide is a work in progress and is not complete

A guide on creating custom audio files for the missions is also available, X-Wing Alliance Add-Ons – Custom Audio Files. This guide is written primarily for XWA/TFTC but the techniques and methods are the same for TIE Fighter and XvT/BoP, just the exact file locations will be different.

For a guide on creating custom email messages for XWA/TFTC see X-Wing Alliance Add-Ons – Emails.

External Wiki

The XWAU Wiki is a good source of information on how to modify the game files for custom effects and also has some discussion on Flight Group Orders and other Mission Design topics.
