Adding a client gci

[Legendofdino]

Hey guys,

I'm attempting to add a client controlled gci for multiplayer. I added a tactical Commander and I can choose the slot when running mission through editor but once I load it on server the slot is not available. What am I missing? Do I need to enable something else?

Does your server machine have combined arms installed? I believe it is necessary to have server side in order for the slots to work though I'm not 100% certain.

 

If your server does not have Combined Arms, as a test you could try hosting the mission locally on multiplayer and seeing if the slots are available.

Thanks for the reply. That’s where my issues start. I can pick the slot locally when I test the mission thru editor but not when host thru multiplayer so it must be because I don’t have CA.

Wouldn’t the user need ca and not the server just like aircraft mods. The only mods that the server require from my understanding is the terrain mods.

The user certainly needs the module to occupy the slot, but I'm not 100% clear on whether the host machine needs to have Combined Arms for the slot to show up. Everyone I know that can host has the module, so I'm not easily able to test. I have the module so I can't easily check if the slots are invisible to players who don't but it sounds like they are per dino here.

One of my group's members is about to launch a second server machine so I should be able to verify at some point in the next few days.

No the host machine does not need to own CA (if it is hosting only) and others are just connecting to it,

do you have either game master or tactical commander slots in your mission ?

From my understanding the only mods required on the server are the terrain mods
