C.O.R.E. Multiplayer?

[Napalm Eddie]

Can I do multiplayer with CORE? I just tried it over a LAN line and it is freaking out. On the host's computer it brings up the little "your computer may appear frozen" screen but it's blinking wildly and moving to the bottom right of the screen. On the other computer it just sits at the screen after the join screen where it should give you the choice of countries at the top.

Any clue what the deal is?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but IIRC CORE makes use of the moddir function but that function don't work in multiplayer.

We do indeed use mod-dir, but as to it not functioning in Multiplayer I cannot say - though I have heard such reports before.

Is this something that can be addressed in the new patch?

Mod-dir has some issues with multiplayer over a LAN or over the net. AFAIK, if you copy all the CORE files into the main vanilla folders, replacing the vanilla files with CORE files, and do so on all the playing PC's, you can play CORE multiplayer.

moddir only works the first time u setup a game. After u need to load a save game it screws up for some reason.

Just copy the files over the main vanilla files and it should work (best make a back up first).
