The thing with the saving...

[Basinator]

1) Can the game also be saved like you are able to in the SP campaign? Can I save the gamestate within a level the old way 1 time per player?

2) Any chance to use another save method at the end of the level than with those long codes? OR: Do you have any tip how to use them more comfortable (<- What about writing a tool which puts the code into the clipboard?)?

I'm pretty sure the multiplayer save works, you can save the game and load it.
As for that script, if you write it, I shall use it.

 

[Basinator]

Uh the prob for MP is you can only save one time per player, can you not?

 

[McQvaBlood]

That I do not know.

Why exactly doesn't this game use gamecache? Anyone who's dedicated enough will hack into the code, there's really no point in attempting to bypass that by forcing people to write gigantic codes.

 

[McQvaBlood]

Game caches do not work in multiplayer games, that's why.
We're not trying to bypass anything, it's so that you can have the items you collected.

 

[Rui]

Are you sure? Because I remember testing gamecache in multiplayer in the past and it working. If I ever decide to postpone my current work for a bit to try designing a map with this concept, I'll certainly be giving gamecache a try.

 

[McQvaBlood]

Actually, now that you mention it, I never experimented with the game caches.
TheSpoon said they don't work and designed three campaigns using the code system when I started my own campaign. I never gave it much thought. However... I have this feeling I may have checked this out before, because I was not surprised by his claim that they do not work and never felt the need to test it myself and see if he was wrong.

I mean, if they did, then the campaigns would be self-sufficient in storing heroes and items, meaning we would not even need to edit that part at all. I'm sure the load code was introduced after encountering that this in fact does not work (in multiplayer), but I honestly don't know for sure anymore.

Gamecaches work in MP mode, but only on the instance of that map... once the map is finished, the gamecache data becomes lost even if you saved it... that was how it is when I last tried it on an MP map or even an SP map, in LAN mode...

 

[McQvaBlood]

Ah, I see. So yeah, technically it's no good for storing data between maps.
