Hotseat Launcher - SS 6.3+ XML
This file will allow the Hotseat Launcher to run Stainless Steel 6.3+ games in LAN!
EDIT: Basically, you can play with another person at the same time or at your leisure. Or someone else can pick up another player's turn. No need to send emails or have attachments or post up saves, just play nearly simultaneously without having to do much. Just make sure that both players have matching mods/settings.
These should already be installed:
MTWII + Kingdoms 1.05
Stainless Steel 6.4 (All configurations work, so you can use BGR, RR, any AI, etc.)
Hotseat Launcher
A Network already Set Up.
***NOTE*** BGR does not work in Hotseat because only the primary player receives the effects of BGR while the other players are treated as AI.
Comments:
I have used this across Hamachi with up to 8 players now from different countries/states, and it has worked for me. All factions playable. (Early Era only, but can easily be modded to work for Late Era)
Factions Unplayable: Mongols/Timurids/Papal States/Slaves (Rebels)
Installation:
1. Download "Stainless Steel.xml"
2. Move the file to your "Medieval II Total War\tools\hotseat launcher\Data\Mods" folder.
3. Play!
