Respawn and multiplayer

[ERstalhuth]

Hello guys I'm very new with this game, I'm playing with the mission editor but I still don't know how to do the respawn for my plane, also I would like to know how to load my missions to a multiplayer server?

Thanks

What do you mean by respawn? For the player's plane or for the AI?

 

I dont think you can do it for the player once iyou die/ get shot down.

Hello

 

I thinks this manual can help you a lot

Maybe the easiest thing would be to download someone else's mission - maybe something very simple on the Lapino map, with just a single flight of AI to intercept, and run that and have a look at it. It's not hard after you're used to it - but there's a "learning curve" when you get started. Don't worry about asking lots of questions. It's all good, and it'll all help lots of other visitors to this forum.

 

For MP, off the top of my head, the most important things are - I think:

 

1) Save it as a "deathmatch" mission (the only type that currently works).

2) Save it in the "Multiplayer" folder in your "Data" folder (this is absolutely necessary, I believe)

3) Include an airfield (I don't have my game with me, but I think they're called "Fakefield" objects) for spawning. If you want an airstart the "fakefield" can be any altitude you want. (Obviously, the first person to spawn will need to circle and wait for others to spawn in with an airstart.)

4) You need to run a DServer as well as your game (on the same computer if you want to), and for that you need a [free] extra account supplied by the devs - you need to ask them for one.

 

I think all this and the other stuff will be covered in the guides.

 

(The first of Prangster's youtube tutorials is here. His second video is here and it includes a link to a sample mission to download and have a look at - which may or may not work with the current versions of the game - I seem to remember the functionality of the "complex trigger" may have changed.)

 

(I got started through Bob Vanderstock's RoF mission editor tutorials on youtube. Different game, but same principles!)

Thanks guys for your help, where do I need to ask fo a DServer? and who are devs?...sorry for asking many questions and very noob with this game

[No601_Swallow]

You've already got the DServer in the "game" folder (is that correct? - It's the folder that isn't the "data" folder), where the ME and the Launcher .exe programs are.  But you need another game account - and to activate it you need another email address, for example a new gmail address. To get this special dserver account you need to write to the devs. 

 

The instructions are in this game update bulletin: http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/12826-game-updates/?p=236340

 

 

To start a server you need to be authorized on the Master serve with a game account. And since it is not possible to play and host with the same account simultaneously, you might need an extra account. But of course you don’t have to buy a new key for this purpose - you can use one of our specially prepared Dserver accounts. To get login and password to such account you need to submit a request at our Customer service helpdesk.

Attention!

To get your ticket processed please follow the following template precisely:

1. login to your account at http://il2sturmovik.com/  [Not the forum, the actual website itself]

2. follow this link https://il2sturmovik...upport/request/

3. put this as the ticket title: DSERVER please

4. enter the text of the ticket as follows:

Hello!

Please, provide me with a special account that I would like to use to host a dedicated server. I know that such account would not let me play the game and that it doesn’t have planes on it, and I acknowledge that such account is the property of 1C Game Studios.

5. send this request and wait for response;

6. receive the account credentials and put them into the .SDS server configuration file.

 

And attention once more!

Giving out the extra dserver account takes time, so I’m afraid some of you may have to wait until tomorrow, because our customer service guy needs to sleep sometimes too.

Sorry, for some reason i assumed it was for SP missions.
