With VI is it possible to have modded SP stats but still be able to play online with the normal stats without having to stat swap all every time?

i.e. have separate stat files that allow one to play modded SP games but can then simply go online and play MP without having to change them??

Any help greatly appreciated.

Except for missile stats, yes.

Hi Tosa, long time no see

Can you elaborate a little more on how this is achieved?

Hello +DOC+,

The 'troopstat' file is tied to the startposfiles. Each startposfile can have its own troopstat (subdirectories). It's thus possible to make a copy of all 3 MTW eras and call them MPEarly.txt, MPHigh.txt and MPLate.txt and assign a MP stat to them.

When the game is launched, all available era files and stats will be 'loaded. The default stats will be used when a High era game is played. The MPStats will be used when a MPHigh era game is played. This should be true for both off-and online.

Online players should all have the same era- and statfile to play each other. The good thing about this is, that it will be much easier to get a MP finetuned stat.

There are also MP only columns in the troopstat made by CA (mainly Era data).

There's only 1 projectile stat.
