MP Requests

[VapoR]

Will it be possible for 1.12 or 1.2 to have the following:

 

--When you select your plane, the waypoint lines and icons turn yellow (like in sp and the ME) to know which flight you have chosen?

--When your plane is chosen, be able to click on the waypoints to view assigned speed, altitude, task, etc . . .

--PLEASE give points for military buildings placed in the editor, this will open up much more options for online mixed missions

 

I am one of the mission designers for the 504 server. We want to start building more complex missions with more varied stuff happening throughout the action area. The more flights you scatter around, the more confusing it is for a person joining to know what it is they are supposed to do. And with the scoring system as it is now, the a2g guys will only get points for ground vehicles or ships (unless they get a lucky a2a kill :D).

I second those requests!

Definately the waypoint thing - you can write the best most detailed breif to get around the problem but in the end if someone does not speak the language(s) then they will have no idea what will be happening.

The problem with the military buildings is there is a bug with statics in MP games. If you add eg a command centre, you can drop a KAB on it as a client and it will not die. I did this once online and I actually saved the mission on exit, then tried again offline and it exploded fine. Also I have been in a multiplayer 'race' around some tv towers, and in the first go I clipped the first one and destroyed it - but it did not appear as destroyed to anyone else.

I would also like to see the points for ships toned down a little, IIRC you get 500 each for one of those and its a bit much (for those who care about their score).

And what is wrong with the plane selection screen that it won't give you this info:

It's broken :)

 

Whenever it will be fixed It could also have these informations: aircraft#, flight#, flightname.

 

There's no need for 'side', you already know which side you've joined on first connection.
