Possible to make a MP Coop campain?
« on: 27 Jun 2005, 15:02:30 »
Hello all!
Im sure this agenda been disscused many times but im new at this forum and the search didnt give any answers.

My question is if it is posible to make a Multiplayer Coop campain. IvÂ'e been working on mission to be played MP Coop and was hoping I could put them togehter, instead of after each mission done go back to the MP menu and start the next mission.

Thankful of any (serious) answers.

(sry for my poor english)

This is a very interesting topic. I think there are ways to do a multiplayer campaign.

I have not tried these myself, but I thought I should mention them here.

#1 fwatch

As far as I understand anything, Kegetys' fwatch program, which can be found from this thread:

http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?s=8d47448a66ee23c5d284cea817dd3a51;act=ST;f=7;t=46245;st=0

allowes saving variables to an external file and of course loading them back also. In other words, you could save variables to a file during a multiplayer mission and then in the next mission you could load them back and thus adjust the mission like it were a campaign. The problem with fwatch is that currently it only works on Windows so it is not a general solution yet.

#2 Sinews of War

Then there is Sinews of War:

Sinews of War seems to be a working solution for all servers but it is somehow limited. If we get a version of fwatch which works on both Windows and Linux servers, fwatch would with no doubt be a much better solution than Sinews of War.

I have not tried either of these myself (except fwatch's demo mission) but please go ahead and do research on them if you have the time to do it. Please post your experiences here if you decide to get your hands dirty.
