E.B. multiplayer

[Pharnakes]

Hi, I don't know if anyone else will be interested but I was thinking that prehaps a thread should be started for multiplayer custom battles. The idea would be that people would post in the thread if they feel like a battle and anyone else who was interested would either post there or P.M. them. This thread would include a downloadable map.rwm and instructions how to put it into a game and also the multiplayer edu.

At a later date I would hope to set up some sort of league table with every faction so that people can be assigned ranks and move up and down the table as they win and losse, and also the factions should be able to move.

What do people think of this?

hi I love MPs on mods RTR for one

although all Mods now seem to have no people playing muiltplayer on them and has been like this for along time to long

anyway I'm up for any muiltplayer although I don't think anything big will go ahead till 7.0 RTR is releasest as the group that played it seemed to give up for different reason e.g time it taking for RTR 7.0 to be releasest

but there's always hope and if you want a game sometime the best way to meet up is though X-fire a kind of msn but ment for games

Is no one intersted in this at all?

[Lovejoy]

Me. I'm intressed! I need to get a clean copy of EB first though. Anyone know if installing EB, again, in an "un-clean" copy would make it "clean".

You shouldn't need to, the eb multiplayer edu is stored in EB\mp custom game edu, IIRC the two edus are identical, just rename one of them EXPORT_descr_unit and place it in the EB\data (don't forget to back up your single player EDU)

Note. you can not play multiplayer on BI, if you are using BI and don't know how to run custom battles then just copy your EB shotrtcut and delete the -BI addition from RomeTW-BI.exe

Which one of the file should I use. RIght now I using the one namned export_descr_unit_mpcustom . Ill try and start a MP game. Anyone online, please go and check if you can join! If you can, join and we play. :)

In order to play eveyone needs to have an identical edu and map.rwm, I'll email mine to you, put it in \EB\Data\world\maps\base and then delete it when you want to play your singleplayer campaign again, (You shouldn't need to back it up as it will be regenrated when you play).
