How to implement Hotseat campaign

Hi,

I'd like to play LTC with a friend. Does anyone know how to enable the hotseat mode for the early campaign, please ?

Thanks.

It's ok, I found it by myself.

The problem is that this modification erases the custom campaigns in the process.

But I managed to have LTC use vanilla's language files, so that LTC is not in english anymore, which is more than a compensation. Some descriptions are inaccurate though (a +1 instead of a +2 here and there), but nothing ugly.

Okay, I found another way.

I've merged retrofit mtw2.int with LTC's one. It's hard to explain how to do so, so I've attached required files to have it work.

You will still be able to play the six campaigns in single player mode. The only limitation is that you can only play one of the six campaigns in hotseat mode. (which is the reason why Lusted did not implement it)

Here is how to do it:

_ in your main game folder, go to "landstoconquer/data/world/maps/campaign/custom".
_ There should be 6 folders, one for each campaign. Right-click and copy the folder of the campaign you want to play in hotseat mode.
_ go to "landstoconquer/data/world/maps/campaign" and paste the folder in there (there should be a folder named "custom" as well).
_ rename the folder you just pasted to "imperial_campaign"
_ backup the file named mtw2.int located in your "landstoconquer/data/menu" folder.
_ Download the file attached at the bottom of this post.
_ extract it and copy the "data" folder it contains in your "landstoconquer" folder. One file will be overwriten.
_ light a candle in Lusted's memory, who joined the dark side of the force, and enjoy the best mod around with your best friend.

Credits go to LTC guy and retrofit guy.

wow this is awesome! About 3 years ago, I found that LTC can host a multiplayer campaign.

But after I reinstalled the M2tW and LTC Gold, the hotseat bar just disappeared from LTC Gold. That was a myth for me lol...

Now I remind that time I was trying mods, include LTC and retrofit mod and more... I think I just mixed the files with accident so I saw Hotseat bar at LTC Gold.
