DetBullock: A lot of stuff is hardcoded here, the engine is quite weird in many things and that doesn't make it easy to mod.Also Deus Ex and Stalker have larger fanbases. More specifically DeusEx is much newer, this game in its core is still a DOS game with a bit of 3D-engine use slapped on.Also, what does qualify as 'mod'? There is the ddraw.dll project that at least allows playing at full desktop resolution.Things like custom missions don't make much sense to implement on top of this engine, XvT or XWA make much more sense there.

XvT is still very difficult to mod, the few mods I remember were always a bit glitchy, Alliance is more flexible and indeed has an impressive patch for hi poly ships but it still requires messing with hex editors to have 16:9 resolutions.

That's why I said it depends on what you define as 'mod'.But if you define it as 'anything improving graphics quality' there is a clear progression there:For X-Wing and TIE Fighter, even basic 3D graphics things like LOD/mipmap selection are done in software instead of by GPU hardware. Thus even though ddraw.dll gives you higher resolutions, the textures still look like crap.XvT STILL has that issue, but at least they put in a slider to give the GPU the highest-quality texture from which the ddraw.dll can generate its own mipmaps. That means you usually get a MUCH better graphics quality than with the original game, even if there's no comparison with what you can get for XWA.There is still no way to e.g.

Heychadwick: So, your advice is to wait for X-wing Alliance?Is it multi player? If you want better graphics, then you'll have to wait on X-Wing Alliance. If you want to enjoy a near perfect game, then go for GOG's release of Star Wars: Tie Fighter (floppy disk edition)- even without the bells and whistles of the voiced mission briefings, this game is fantastic! The problem with XW:A is that even with all of those mods to get the Tie Fighter game 'ported' to it, you're essentially getting a bunch of single player missions cobbled together. I tried it out awhile back, and I don't think you get a functioning campaign with a story, just the missions.

Tie Fighter has an awesome campaign that lets you experience Star Wars from the 'other side'.Personally, I'd recommend playing Tie Fighter, and worry about a modded XW:A later if it ever gets released. If you have a complete aversion to older 3D graphics, then worry about modding.Edit: Oh, and XW:Alliance is multiplayer and single player. I tried the TIE Fighter Total Conversion while it still had just five battles. It was great from a technical perspective, but as said above it misses a lot of the TIE Fighter feeling and atmosphere.

Besides, the improved X-Wing Alliance game engine is not designed for TIE Fighter and that presents some problems in the missions - for example, destroying capital ships with torpedoes becomes nearly impossible because of the big ships' ability to shoot down incoming missiles.I would advice just playing TIE Fighter right now. Test the 1994 version and if it seems too crude and old try out the 1998 version with the sound/music mods mentioned in the other threads here. I myself prefer the newer version with mod that restores original TIE Fighter soundtrack (even without iMuse).
