Chivalry I : Multiplayer Thread

**DaVinci** · September 23, 2008, 12:51 AM

I just want to make ChivTW players aware, that our mod is MP capable - on SCC we had (rather have) an extra forum for this purpose, and this since years.

What do you need to prepare a MP match?

- Organise the players.
- All players must have the same build (means, not a modified game).
- All players must use the same RTW, means for our mod either RTW 1.5 or BI 1.6.
- All players must start with the same map.rwm file (in the respective .../world/.../campaign folder and in the base folder). One player needs to start a fresh campaign, and then the generated map.rwm file must be distributed to the other players.
- All players must have the same settings for the unit seize and difficulty.
- Proceed the usual MP mode function and start.

That's all, that i'm aware about atm., but there could be more synchron settings needed, experienced MP players might know them better than myself.

Just try it if you like, and use this thread for the organisation of the matches.

This thread will be kept stickied, although i guess there won't be much fans for the MP mode, as the past shows, the MP platform in TW games is not a very beloved kind of gaming ... perhaps it changes some day. If it grows, against all expectation, then i'll provide this thread to a new extra ChivTW subforum, but this needs actually movement.

Perhaps research/read about the roots of the ChivalryTW mod project: It even started as an M1TW mod in MP mode. The old name of the team was indeed "MTW team" on the SCC forum platform (the original ChivTW home, dev forum).
You can find a few links in the 'Release ..Info' Thread.
