Multiplayer Question

[unmerged(81308)]

Hello I'm new in this forum and in the Core-Mod community, and now I have a Question I wanted to play with my brother in the Multiplayer but it don't work. I searched this forum for answers and I founded that you have to implay the structure from the Core-Mod in the Doomsday structure. I want to play the Core-Mod but I'm a Noob in such things can anyone help me in what I've to do ? What will I have to copy between the structures and on what have I to look must I change some things in the Settings ??

I hope someone can help me.

Because CORE uses mod-dir, it does not work for multiplayer (the game engine doesn't support multiplayer mod-dir functionality).

If you wish to play multiplayer CORE, the best option is to duplicate your HoI2 folder, then extract all the CORE file from the mod-CORE2 folder into the copy, overwriting files as needed. You should then be able to play multiplayer using that version of the game (but you won't be able to play anything else except CORE, basically, with that version).

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the answer, but I already done this and the effect was that I could play in Multiplayer but without some features for example some units in the building list weren't correct or events don't start.

Hmm - I can't say why that might be - I may try extracting the CORE files into a "MP" version at home here later on, and see if I notice any problems. There is no obvious reason I can think of as to why this might occur, however.

Do you have any specifics that you can recall as to what units were missing, etc ?

Here are two example for the missing- or double shown units in the building list

I don't honestly see anything wrong (necessarily) with either of those pics, aside from the image mismatch re the CAV unit showing a helicopter (for which, download the Graphics pack).

What were you expecting to see different in these screens ?

Well it is somewhat odd he's able to build Cav-6 and Cav-8 next to Cav-4. The first two aren't covered by COREd graphics in any case, and as such will load the Vanilla image of the helicopter instead (Cav-5 image IIRC). The only CAV models that should be activated within CORE are models 0-4. That does suggest an incomplete or inproper install.

There are techs for activating all 10 models of CAV in CORE, grouped 0-4 (8000 man divisions) and 5-9 (11000 man divisions). Having units from both groups available to build looks odd and probably something for Dec152000 to have a look at.

Oops, my bad. I actually checked out the wrong file. :wacko:

Hi,

That is FUBAR. I have no idea how all of those conflicting models got activated. The naming looks to be CORE and the one unit stat page is correct for what it claims to be. But the SOV shouldn't have that unit ever... No idea what is wrong or how to fix it other than complete reinstall.

From previous discussion I assume files have been copied from mod-dir to vanilla folders and at that point I don't think we can do much to help: its up to the player at that point to correctly copy and edit the necessary files.

Hi - were you trying too use Doomsday or Armageddon to run these MP games, by the way ?

Hi I was trying it with the Doomsday Installation
