MP campaign approaching release - beta underway

**Myrddraal** · 08-08-2005, 04:13

The first complete version of our MP campaign is starting private beta testing by General Sun's beta testing team right now.

You may know that this was suggested by Swoosh So who made it work manually using console commands in the unpatched version.

Then I helped to try to use a script to replace the console commands, and Freak of Nature to make the exchange system.

This proved harder than expected and so it sort of faded away.

When this thread was revived not that long ago and player1 posted his faction switcher, I was reminded of this project and decided to finish it. Its currently about to start testing and so you can expect a release relatively soon.

I also have a system planned for implementing battles, but that will have to be for a later release and so for this version all battles should be auto-resolved.

Hope this helps keep you up to date

Sounds very cool, will BI make it easier since it unlocks the console commands? Or have you totally got around that already?

**Myrddraal** · 08-08-2005, 04:54

got round it totally :)

Ah, good to see there's still a chance of a proper MP campaign for RTW. I thought everyone had given up, even thought it was so close. BI wont be a problem though, will it? It could change some console commands so you might have to rework it.

From the CA FAQ's that have been posted I doubt that the console commands will change, either in syntax or having more activated, so if it's good for RTW then it should be good for BI.

If you are interested in additional beta testing I have a small LAN up and running. We have always wanted to play a mp campaign and I have some very experienced RTW players to test this new mod with. We also have some programming and scripting experience and we are used to beta test unfinished products. We really want to contribute to this great project!

Appropriate feedback will be posted in this forum or wherever you want.

Please PM me if you are interested.

Well actually the current system works through the net, not lan, but maybe well make a lan version. If you have some programming experience you might be able to help me with the later version where battles will be playable. Interested?

Well, this idea is just awesome! If you guys can get a lan version of the multiplayer campaign working, together with full playable battles ... I will build a temple in your names!

This is great. I've wanted to play MP campaigns ever since I first got MTW.

How long do you think until the release?

EDIT: Also, if you do pull this off, can we have it for use at CTW?

**Myrddraal** · 08-11-2005, 00:47

As with all of my scripts (exept the wot one of course

), as far as I'm concerned they are free for use by anyone and any mod so long as credits are given and I'm informed. I'll have to check with FoN, but I'm sure he'll agree with me.
