Multiplayer briefing doesn't work

[Speed_2]

Just as in the thread title, the multiplayer briefing system doesn't work. I just got done slaving over a 14 page (mostly graphical) briefing for my mission, and for some reason, only the first page opens, horribly distorted. It works fine when I open the mission in single player. Is this just my computer or is this a general problem?

"Multipage" briefings (by using images and the "Next page" buttons works in singleplayer only, yes - no such feature for the MP briefings.

Besides that, maybe you could provide a screenshot to illustrate the problems?

Fairly old thread, is there a way we can add the page buttons for MP usage? it would be great if they do so.

For multiplayer briefs, there are ways around the single image.

Firstly it looks 'horrid' because it is 512x512 stretched to the clients screen. I for one, have 1920x1080 and it makes the original briefing graphic look like something from a commodore 64!

 

If you are part of a VFBS, use or setup a specific forum area for the mission brief. Include pictures and be imaginative. Then on your server, point clients to the forum page for a more 'in depth' brief than that available online.

 

It works for us well. Infact, it works very well!

Nice idea Tyger, it would work ALOT better/easier if we had pages button on the MP brief of FC2/DCS:BS so that we dont have to head to forums and read the more details of Brief, intel etc.. I find it quite surprised that they did not even implement that in the MP mission brief. dont you think tyger? :)

focus on BS was not multiplayer.

ED's recources will eventually get to MP specific improvements further down the line.

As Craig says, the emphasis for ED with regards to BlackShark was undoubtedly the accuracy of the Flight model, then somewhere in which to utilise it (ie single player Missions and Campaigns). Finally Multiplayer but without the 'Bells n Whistles' so to speak. I expect that had they spent the sort of time they could have done, to create an in depth Multiplayer briefing and co-ord screen, the release would have been delayed. We have to remember, although they do it for the love of the accurate sim model (to their credit), there is a business to run in the background and people have to eat! :megalol:
