Multiplayer Missions

[EVILNOODLE 0]

Hey

 

The more I play WOV the more I love it. I have now mastered the art (thanks to some very good tutorials and tools!!!) of messing around with the weapons and aircraft loadouts/configurations.

 

I am now playing with the mission editor and found myself wondering....I wonder if it is possible to alter the multiplayer coop missions to make them harder when there are only a few of you playing. Myself and my friends are now completing MP strike missions as a matter of routine and I would like to if possible mod the strike missions to make them more hardcore.

 

I have had a look at the Options.cfg file and can see a potential opportunity to alter the quick mission by perhaps editing the marked line below...

 

[singleMission]

AircraftType=A-1H

MissionMap=VIETNAMSEA

MissionType=CAS

MissionTime=NOON

MissionWeather=CLEAR

AirActivity=LIGHT

AirDefenseActivity=LIGHT

LoadMission=FALSE

LoadMissionFilename=640802 Tonkin Gulf Incident <=== EDIT HERE PERHAPS

MissionYear=1970

StartYear=1900

EndYear=2020

 

I have not tried this yet and so have no idea if it would work but I cant find any reference to what mission will be loaded for an MP coop game.

 

Does anybody know if this is possible and where to look to achieve it if it is.

 

I love being able to make new missions for LOMAC MP and it has yielded many happy hours of enjoyable flight. It would be teh w00t to be able to do it for WOV as well.

 

What I would love to do is create a multi-target strike mission with a real need for the other wing to fly SEAD instead of escort with everybody taking responsibility for incoming migs :)

 

Cheers for any help or suggestions.

Refers to your settings for Single Player in either Create or Load Mission. the False would idicate that you were flying under Create Mission with a A-1 on a CAS Mission, at Noon in the clear and all settings for enemy are light.

 

AFAIK, MP Missions are hard coded for now in a DLL.

Ahha yes missed the FALSE statement above.

 

Oh well not to worry, editable MP missions or not the game still ROCKS!!!

 

I have long craved for a decent vietnam era sim.

 

Cheers for the info.

 

By the way this is perhaps the most friendly and helpful forum I have ever had the fortune to visit. Its places like this that will keep the Flight Sim alive :)
