[Rocker47]

How to save progress in a multiplayer game? Why during the game, the save button, the game is not active?

A multiplayer save feature has not been implemented yet.

That's good. Because you don't always have time to fully play all of the battle, and wants to continue.

+1 for sure. Please confirm an ETA! This is a game-breaker for many older Cossacks players.

OK so instead of waiting for this since december last year, i started poking around in the files myself (hey i bought the game and its moddable right?).

Since there is a save button, you should be able to save. Since its grayed out, the underlaying code should be available and this stops you from executing it.

So we un-gray out the button: in the data/gui/menu.inc/showmenu.inc file at line 91 (after i copied the original!!!!) i deleted "and (not _net_IsOnline)" from the script.

The button now is available to click in an online game. It saves the progress and i am able to load the game up again with the progress still there. Tonight i will test this with a friend (as this is how we would like to play, mano a mano in my livingroom and spread out over a couple of days).

Will get back with the results!

Edit: Why, if the code is available, is it not allowed to be used? To the developers: since many of the mods are becoming official, and it would only help out you guys, can you tell us why this button is not available and what the bugs/errors/problems are? Maybe we can find a sollution and you guys can focus on other stuff

Update:
Tried the following things but failed:
- When starting game with only 1 player having save button actived no multiplayer possible (different versions)
- When both players had save button actived we could play, save and load it (from main menu) but they wouldn't sync again
- When activating load game button in the ingame menu things got messed up bad

Gonna try:
- Having a look why it shows Waiting for players and what its waiting for? Syncing? Maybe trigger this on load game so that they sync after loading it into a newly made room on MP
- Figure out why the load game button in the ingame menu gives trouble, the connection between players is made, seems logical that you can load game.
- FInd out where the sync happens and what it uses. Progress of each player on the players local pc or on the server?

Keep you guys updated!

Dont hold your breath on multiplayer save! They have promised it since day one and have always used the excuse that they are too busy fixing balancing issues and making new DLCs to bother with it. There is obviously an issue with the multiplayer coding and it has shown as a fatal flaw in allowing multiplayer save. The safe response they give is "SOMEDAY" they will install the feature...
