Does the 3,5,6,7 player option need to be added in soon so that people can make maps for it, or is this just advance warning?
Ok, here is the deal, I need a new option in flaME, a checkbox to enable support for X player maps (I am thinking this would be 2.4 or higher versions of warzone, but am not 100% sure for right now, so perhaps just "beta: X player support" for right now ?) , and what that will do is,
NOT produce a *mapname.addon.lev file, but instead, produce a *mapname.xplayers.lev file.
This is so that these new maps can't be used on old game versions, and break...
The format is exactly the same as the old file, except, you do:
level testmap-T1
players 2
type 14
dataset MULTI_CAM_1
game "multiplay/maps/2c-testmap.gam"
data "wrf/multi/skirmish2.wrf"
data "wrf/multi/fog1.wrf"
Where the
red number indicates the number of players.
Make sense ?
For the lobby screen, so far, it looks like :
One other thing, if possible, can you add a pull down menu under the Author edit box, that includes what license the user picks for the map, then stick that in the header as

For the license:
If you want inclusion with Warzone 2100, you have several options:
TIA!
BTW lav_Coyote, I don't know why you wouldn't want this, it isn't my fault that EW32 can't support this stuff without hand editing everything... EW32 maps will still load OK, but you just can't use that version to make 3/5/6/7 player maps.
