Hosting multiplayer sessions?

[General Tobruk]

Well it took me nearly 2 months to solve my port forwarding problem.  After purchasing a new router, establishing a PPPOE from my ISP's router/modem I still could not get ports 2300-2400 to work.  The solution was to set up a "dial up broad band connection" within windows 10.

 

To the point, if I host a multiplayer mission, do I need to email that mission to my client or does it download automatically?  I edited a stock mission (platoon Attack 1) for the LEO 2A5 and saved it with a new file name in my scenarios.  Do I need to send this to my buddy first, or will download when he joins my session?

It should ask him to download when he joins the session.

"It depends".

If the scenario uses a standard map, or a small delta map, and if the option to embed the map in the scenario file is activated, then yes, the client can receive the scenario from the host computer.

It should be as I took it from the "scenario multi" folder.  I then did a quick edit to use the Leo.

 

Okay thanks.

Okay thanks.

 

In that case the players will just be sent the revised scenario.

 

The process:

 

1. They join your session.

 

2. They are told they need to download the scenario.

 

3. They should click on "Yes".

 

4. You will be asked to send it to them.

 

5. You should click on "Yes".

 

6. Once they have picked a unit, they should change the response next to Ready from "No" to "Yes" so that you know when to start (you'll see a message "All participants are ready").
