Multimedia in multiplayer sessions

[Leon_Portier]

Have figured out the ultimate power of having multiplayer missions with media, like sound and pics. If the files are in the same folder as the mission itself, they get automatically downloaded to clients!

Correct me if I'm wrong...

 

But if one of these files is triggered (by something has been destroyed or so)

it is played on _every_ connected client.

No matter if the client should hear it (because it's important for his coalition)

or not (because he's either spectating or on the enemy side.

 

Even worse would be playing videos...

Correct, thats how the media translator works.

For my purposes, playing radio calls in coop missions, it suffices. I don't do much pvp

So you were talking about coop missions only.

There is is ok for sounds...

Or for pictures and videos before takeoff.
