Scrapper_511 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 By 'line object' I'm talking about the map objects under that label such as walls, hedges and fences. The lines laid down in the Mission Editor are graphics.You're right on the money, Eminer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotareneg Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Here's an idea: An option for the host to disable generation of an AAR on clients. That way we could have a campaign that doesn't require a "fresh start" for each mission like we're doing with OP4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Leader Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 In the Mission Editor I'd like the ability, when changing a default mounted infantry unit to another unit type (a new and welcome feature itself), to vary the default number of infantrymen in that unit. For example, a Warrior (ODS) has a Rifle Squad of 4 men and MG Squad of 3 men as default. If I want to change both squads to ATGM teams, to represent Milan teams from the Fire Support Company for example, I'd like the ability to reduce them to 3 or 2 men each as needed. Of course, I can achieve the same effect by creating two new 3- or 2-man ATGM teams but that breaks the link between the vehicle and the infantry, so the AI won't automatically mount or dismount them per the default set-up. Not a biggie, but something that would be nice one day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give that a try to see if it solves the bulk of the issue. Still think the short cut proposed would be helpful but, admittedly, not a priority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think the short cut proposed would be helpful but, admittedly, not a priority. Keep the infantry you want in each vehicle next to the vehicle (less than 25m for speedy mounting). Pointing out the bleedin' obvious but hey, at least i told you so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Once the teams are mounted, you could "Save Progress" as a new mission scenario file so you wouldn't have to mount them each time you play the scneario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzpilot Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I live in Scandinavia, so my online options seems very limited, with the countdown starting at 4-5am sunday mornings.I would like to put a Multiplay menu up as a wishNot like the current one, but a list with hosts and ping, and maybe even a time to start too.It would make much easier to find someone playing a mission during ordinary weekdays, and not only missions planned weeks ahead.And probably make this sim much more popular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's going to be pretty hard to implement unless you want your client machine to spend its life scanning every IP address on the planet. There are no "dedicated" servers running games 24/7. You need to come here and read the posts and join one that is at a suitable time and if there aren't any run your own, post about it and see who turns up. Some time ago Saturday evenings (GMT) was determined to be the "least worst" time to run theses things. http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showthread.php?t=17110 Now membership may have changed and perhaps you might consider running a new poll to update this? Oh and for what its worth 1800z on a Saturday is 0500 Sunday morning here - so its far from convenient for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think this is the way every other multiplay game do things.It will ofc need eSim to host a network page every client could lookup to see if sombody are available. Not too costly to do, if you calculate the cost versus the anticipate income for more popularity.Most of the workload would just be to calculate the ping, vs host and the clients looking at page once, and make it a manual refresh, to keep workload down.Or it might work with only a list of active ip's (hosts), that client itself can check up pings for, and make a local list or menu of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody can host a mission for multiplay.Its not limited some dedicated servers with fixed IP addresses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Make the mission a folder, including mission and textures and theme. So if some textures (or theme) are changed, they are taken first from the folder, second in the mod folder, and later in the textures (or theme) folder of the game installation. Textures would have to be manually installed in the folder, to keep it simple (if you don't install them, you run the defaut one). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
