Chivalry II : Hotseat Campaigns

[Empedocles]

so....

I want to know if people are interested in playing a late era campaing of Chiv II.

Details:
-I believe a maximum of 6 players is the best choice to speed things up.
-Kingdoms 1.4 patch.
-No restriction of wich faction to choose.
-We will play the battles against the AI (it is not fair but the fun of M2TW is the look of units in battle)

regards

How does one start a hot seat game in this mod?

Changed slightly the thread title and stickied.

Now you can organise and manage here all Chivalry II Hotseat Campaigns.

In any case you'll need all the same multiplayer mtw2.Int file, that SV posted above.

I just want to report that hotseat doesn´t work for any era I see the starting movie then it loads then i get a ctd.
First i thought it was the CFG that left out a bit so i copied in a hotseat entry that i knew worked becuase of earlier hotseat experiance but it didn´t work either.

[Kazz]

Thats sad news. I was hoping to play it today with one of my friends when I went over to his place.

[Kazz]

Could someone that knows the process to play local hot seat post it. I want to see if I can't get it to work.

Thanks.

If someone can post the cfg entries that are know to work, I will add them to the base.

[Empedocles]

Here are the instructions made by Armatus:


Simply replace the BC CFG file options for Hoseat from this:



To the following:


[multiplayer]
playable = true

[hotseat]
autoresolve_battles = 0
disable_console = 1
disable_papal_elections = 1
save_prefs = 1
update_ai_camera = 0
validate_diplomacy = 1

I tried to make it work but I couldn't. don't know why. I suck at modding.

[gobbothegreen]

well i think that the cfg might not be the problem it might be something else like that it can´t handle the multiple campaign or something like that.

Does anyone know of any other mods that use the custom campaigns menu, and are hotseat playable?

Sadly, yes... Also Machiavello 6.1 has a costum campaigns menu, and I find no way to make it work in hotseat. I don't know way, but something make s it crash the moment the game is loaded.

How can this be fixed?

Does anybody tried a normal MP with SV?

Usually MP mode in amd like SV: (But not tested in SV)
For the MP mode, it needs the same map.rwm in all players' base folder! That means, one player has to generate a map.rwm in the planned campaign era (just start the concerned campaign, and copy the generated map.rwm to the base folder). Then he needs to distribute this to the MP players, they need to insert this map.rwm file into the base folder (and probably also into the concerned campaign folder).

I could be, that this is also a pre-condition for the hotseat mode. Worth a test for you guys ...

[demostene]

Uh Uh...maybe...

[Empedocles]

nope
