Converting singleplayer campaign to multiplayer co-op

[tclam662]

I have a question, can i play the singleplayer campaign(1985 Cold War Crisis, Red Hammer, Resistance and those single mission) in multiplayer? sometimes i found that the campaign is quite difficult and will be much fun if i can play it with my friend.

is there anyway to do?

you would need to edit it for multiplayer use.

To do this you need to understand things like.

What is local to:
a) The server
b) The clients (Your machine)

How to publicvariable (Transmit values over a network)
and what type of variables you can do this with
and when would you do this.

How and when to use the following command query's
?(local player):
?(local server):

There are some Multiplayer specific bugs that you would need to work around
Mainly caused by AI and Players sharing the same vehicle.

All the resources you need are on here, but you would most likely need a dedicated server to test them on until you get used to coding for multiplayer


Its a long haul but worth the effort

how about the resistance single mission Underhill, if i want to play this map with my friend in multiplayer mode, do i need to un-pbo the mission file and edit the mission to make more AI player as playable?

i havent looked at the mission so i dont know what it will need

the only way to find out is to try

it probably will need additional editing, end triggers etc

i have tried, but i cant load the mission in the editor
