How To Make A Multiplayer Map.

[recluse]

Hi. I am working on a multiplayer map for the Cta's workshop. I have made maps already for the workshop,but just maps with mission.files included. That's it. As shown in link below.

Only I have no real knowledge on how to make a multiplayer map. How can I achieve this? Maybe someone could give me a starting point, I.e: like a link I can read and study on how to implement multiplayer into an editor map. Then at least I have that to work from. Also, I would like the multiplayer map to have random spawn points too.

I know I can search the discussions forum for such map knowledge but felt asking in here would be a lot more practical as the community can give me their thoughts, suggestions, especially links for studying such stuff, which would help immensely. Cheers.

Easiest approach is to use existing game mode files and flag- / spawnlayouts and to simply build your map around those.

1) Create a new map or load an existing one.

2) Save that map under a new name.

3) Exit the editor, brows to resource / map and copy the game mode files from an existing map and paste them into your new, recently created map.

4) Start the editor and load the game mode file in F3 menu.

5) Put placeholder entities in F2 menu where important spots are like flags or spawnpoints. SAVE.

6) Repeat 4) and 5) for all game modes you want your map to be available later on.

7) Unload the game mode in F3 menu (ESC -> Unload while in F3) You will now be able to build your map around the important flagpoints etc.

8) Remember: if you change the location for example of a flagpoint in F3 to also change your F2 placeholders.

If you have further questions just add / pm me. Have fun and good luck

Wow. Your post has certainly done wonders for my confidence in putting together a multiplayer map. I know that much. Cheers for that m8.

So you want your maps to be loadable in multiplayer? If so I might be able to help. tell me ok.

Hey mate, can I ask you something? How can I change the units that we can spawn in a multiplayer game? What changes I need to do in the editor?
