Another noob Q about hosting

[dooom]

if I am loading a mission for internet play, the Mp missions have a "player" slot and "client" slots.

 

1. Do i have to have the server spawn into the player slot in order for the mission to be available?

2. Will the server mission be available if the server is simply a spectator and has the mission unpaused?

3. is teh "Player" slot visible to clients logging on as a playable slot?

1. Nope. They can spectate or play it doesn't matter.

2. Yep.

3. Use only client slots for online mission. The server host can join a client slot and play that way. However if a player slot is there people joining wont see it.

is the mission viewable in the DCS multiplay server list if i choose server?

[Grimes]

Yes it should be. You may need to open up a port or two.

"player" slots are for single player missions

"client" slots are for multiplayer missions
