dmans1 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 I have 2 questions about the mission designer. I can't seem to be able to assign more than 1 player per flight, thus creating 2,3,4 ship flights. Instead i have to create separate 1ship flights, that's kinda frustrating in terms of setting waypoints and stuff again and again. How is this actually working? Like Falcon missions? Aircrafts are flown AI unless someone jumps in cockpit or this is not an option? Is it somehow possible to create 4ship human flights? Last question, what's the difference between Player and Client in the pilot type on the mission editor? Thanks in advance.
HiJack Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 CLIENT = Mulitplayer. Add as many flights as you need players connecting. PLAYER = Single player mode. You only have one like this.
nomdeplume Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 And the first part of your question, you set up an individual one-ship flight for each player. You can only add additional ships to a flight as AI wingmen. It's a bit more work, but from a practicality point of view, there's no difference. Players are free to form flight groupings as they see fit within the game. They can enter whatever group + unit ID they want for the datalink, tune whatever radio frequencies they want (or realistically, configure Teamspeak channels how they want them), and so forth. It is usually a good idea to give the flights the same waypoints so all players have common reference points, but even those can be entered into the CDU in an ad-hoc basis for players that want to go to that level.
dmans1 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 Copy.As a falcon mission designer, this 1 player per flight approach seems a bit strange. Anyway, this is the only drawback IMO in the mission designer. Everything else simply rocks!. A very nice feature would be the ability to clone a flight, so the designer can easily make multiple-ship flights. Thanks for the clarification.
Juuba Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Is there a quick way to copy or duplicate a flight plan for 1 flight when creating the 2nd flight? ... so it would have the same waypoints, payload and other settings? Sometimes I Amaze even Myself!
nomdeplume Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Nope, Blindspot did a mod for the FC2 mission editor to add cloning, but unfortunately ED didn't duplicate that feature when they were updating the editor for Warthog. Maybe one day... :(
