Tie Fighter/X-wing game editor

[ETR3(SS)]

Looking for a game editor that will work for either or both games, preferably both. Not talking about a pilot or mission editor but something that will enable me to make edits to the craft in game.

Which version? For DOS/CD-ROM versions, X-Wing Editor Pro XP152 could work for both (limited in TIE Fighter to non-weapon specs only, but you can edit any spec in X-Wing). You can get the download from Rebel Squadrons downloads page:

Sorry forgot to mention that, the remastered/special editions. I'm also running Win10 Pro x64 and what I have been able to find so far won't run on that OS. Any advice on that aspect would be appreciated as well.

Same - Win10 x64. I'm not aware of any ship editors for the Windows versions of the games. They're based on the XvT engine so maybe if you find a XvT ship editor that might work?

I've found one for XWA that sorta works with XvT. It's my understanding that X-wing came out first followed by Tie Fighter based upon the same engine and then XvT also upon the same engine.

So I've finally come across something that will work, I'll find the link and post it here for all.

The Windows versions aren't based on the XvT engine, that's a myth. Graphics and audio were reprogrammed for a Windows environment and retrofitted into the earlier games to use some of the new assets made for XvT (like the craft models). But the gameplay mostly retains their original programming.

When it comes to ship stats data, all of the games have a different format, even though there are similarities as each new game in the series expanded on the previous one.

Mxvted works for XWA and XvT, and it also seems to have limited support for the earlier games, though I've never used it and can't confirm whether it's functional or not.

[ETR3(SS)]

I bought and played XWA first and found Mxvted for that. Tried it with Tie Fighter and X-Wing and got less than desirable results, likely due to the different format as you mentioned.

TFW = Tie Fightter Mission Editor
XvTED = XvT Mission Editor
Allied = XWA Mission Editor
YOGEME = Xwing, Tie Fighter, XvT and XWA Mission Editor

Thanks, but I'm not looking for mission editors.

Tie Fighter Workshop is what I used, not sure if you can still find it online.
