This will be one of my favourite mods

Question: Does this mod have online compatability? Or will there be a custom Server?

Online compatability for people without the mod? No, you have to have the mod to play online. I actually haven't ever been able to set the lua up right so that you can play online at all. Hero Assault works online, and is a ton of fun. Getting it to work online is one of the many bugs I need to iron out.

I'm a good person to find mapcodes for online compabilty, so if there isn't any online compabilty
I could be able to still play online

Online compatability has little to do with map codes. If the map has issues playing on MP and it hasn't been optimized, then even if you load the singleplayer version through a mapcode (which you could actually easily derive by cycling through a few letters in the alphabet) it might still crash.

This.

The issue most likely has to do with random stuff used in singleplayer, that somehow still is random in MP. I might make a specific MP Conquest mode, without any random stuff at all.

[JAWSFreelao]

So If There IS a custom multiplayer Conquest, will the files be included with a download, and have to be dragged in yourself, wouldn't it make more sense to just create a program to do it instead?

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean...

Pardon My Bad Understanding of modding- But what I'm trying to say is:
If This Mod Were To Come With An EXE (Installation) File, would the files for multiplayer compatibility with other players of the same mod be included?

[Twilight_Warrior]

Let's put it this way:
The way WULF has set up the random sides and settings of this mod, if you try to play it online, it will break when someone joins. Except for Hero Assault. WULF has to add a "multiplayer mode" to the Conquest script so that the sides won't be random.
Here is a pseudocode example in layman's terms:

Code: Select all

if multiplayer
pick predetermined sides and settings

else
random sides and settings

Either that or he will just add a new game mode along the lines of "Multiplayer Conquest" that you will have to select instead of regular conquest if you want to add the era to your server.


tl;dr
Don't worry about it.

[JAWSFreelao]

Thank You! I'm Kinda New To This Sorta Thing

[THEWULFMAN]

Twilight is correct. Only problem is for some reason, even after putting checks in for MP in all the random stuff it still doesn't work. Thus a multiplayer mode sounds like it would be a lot easier for everyone.

This mod should come with an installer, yes. I had some trouble with trying to make one several months ago, but I've learned a lot since then.

Well Master Wulf, Always proud to see your developement! Also, what started this sudden clone wars craze?

[kinetosimpetus]

My guess would be The Clone Wars

[JAWSFreelao]

I meant like if it all started with his first Ryloth Nabat map, or something else

[THEWULFMAN]

Well Master Wulf, Always proud to see your developement! Also, what started this sudden clone wars craze?

Sudden? I started this mod a year ago. It built up and up from my first map, Ryloth: Nabat. Then it just snowballed. I started this mod with the exact same Nabat sides. Which, in hindsight was a bad idea. I was young and foolish.

My guess would be The Clone Wars

Probably.

[JAWSFreelao]

Haha, I Feel unkowledgeable DX XD
But Moving on, how well has the programming itself been moving lately?

[Dorin]

Oh, well in that case it shouldn't probably be working unless if the map wont run on mp if I type in the mappcode. And offtopic: Jaws, why do you do that "posting" link whenever you do a comment? Just Curious.

I'm sorry if that comes off as condescending; that is certainly not my intention. It's just that it's not like your posts are playing a nasty joke on you, fiddling with your message and all, just because you're new. I've got no idea what could be causing that, but a double-check right before posting might catch it.
