Here they are: First type IMACHEATER cheating will be activated Code Result --------------------------- EWOKSRULE - Ivunribilty MASTERYODA - Infinite Ammo KILLMENOW - Lose Level THETASTEOFVICTORY - Win level HYPERMETO## - Warp to level number Fly All Ships _____________ To do this trick, you have to go into Windows Explorer or whatever it is you use to look at all your computer files. Go to your Alliance folder and look for a docment called shiplist. When you open it, it shows you ship names, classes, etc. Near the end of the line, you'll see either the word flyable, or non-flyable. To add a ship to the flyable list, just type in flyable in the place of non-flyable. NOTE: With the larger ships like Star Destroyers and Cruisers, handling is EXTREMELY slow and the turrets don't work. Also, with any of the added ships, engine sounds don't work and sometimes cockpits don't show up. Outrun Missiles/Torps: ---------------------- Sick of getting killed by little renegade missiles or torps? You can simply escape them by doing these things: When you are being targeted try to dodge by waiting right before they get a solid lock tone on you then break really hard, or when the missile gets launched hit "/" and then hit"*" and turn it so you can see the direction of the missile and wait for it to come to you. When it's about .50 clicks from impact on you break really hard or bank off then reverse throttle and come to a dead stop. The missile or torp should sail right over you. But beware they will chase you for a while, so when you get away from it, come around and get on it's tail. Then you can target it with "I" and get a laser or missile/torp lock on the missile itself, then blast it to bits before it can come around for another pass. If you are going after something extremely important like a capital ship stay on it and pump everything into either shields or engines. If you rever! t to engines then you better make sure you can get in close enough that the capital ship will blast it or you can move in and bank at the last second and let the capital ship take the hit. Note: This is much easier in a rebel ship because of maneuverability. Hack Flyable Ships -------------------- In the X-Wing Alliance File under Lucasarts, find the text file "SHIPLIST" and change "Non flyable" on any capitol or unflyable ship to "Flyable". This will allow you to fly any ship, even the Super Star Destroyer, in the Combat Simulator. Playing Tips: ------------- * If you're sick of getting killed from behind,set your shields to maximum (F10 key) and transfer shield energy to behind your by pressing the "S" key. You can also transfer partial power from weapoons to shields by pressing the " ' " key. * If you're having trouble protecting a target,you can find out who's attacking the target by pressing the "A" key while targeting the craft or object you want to protect. * If you want to get anywhere faster, you can transfer either all or partial power from either or both shields and lasers to engines by pressing the "F9" and "F10" GameTip: -------- * Pay attention to the mission briefings and the radio messages while flying. They'll keep you informed of important details. If you need help, go back to the briefing and check out the mission hints. * Get a good joystick with a built-in throttle. The throttle makes a huge difference, especially when you need to constantly adjust speed in a dogfight. * During the Death Star missions, concentrate your lasers forward and destroy the pipes in your way. You don't need to blow up all of them, just the ones in your path. * Don't forget that you can fly back to a capital ship and reload during a mission. But remember not to dally because the action is still going on outside. * When flying a light freighter, order the AI to take over your guns. Let them do all the work; all you need to worry about is avoiding incoming fire. * If you're stuck and getting frustrated, the best thing you can do is turn off the computer and get some fresh air. It really helps to have a clear head. * Pay attention to what's happening around you; don't just react to it. Hidden picture: --------------- After playing a combat simulator skirmish or combat engagement, a screen will appear with your score and those of any other players. At this screen, press [Shift] + [Ctrl] + [Alt] to view a hidden screen. All missions and medals: ------------------------ Create a new pilot and enter FongFong as a name. Start the game, then immediately exit. Enter the "lucasartsxwingalliance" folder and delete the "fongfong0.plt" file. Start the game again. All missions, intermission sequences, and medals will be unlocked.
