How to Enable Hotseat?

[Bloodzy]

I used to hotseat with my brothers a long time ago. Just playing on one computer and there has been few steam updates that has changed the way you enable hotseat?

If there is a new way to enable it on Stainless Steel 6.4, can anyone help me with that?

Been searching everywhere on the forums. Would really appreciate it

Thanks

Please, anyone? I am sure it is really simple. Leading me to the right thread would be a great help if nothing else.

find your medieval2.preference in MTW2. Right click on it, properties, untick read-only, save, ok.

open medieval2.preference with notepad (my choice is notepad ++), copy/paste this:

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

then save. Again: right click on medieval2.preference , properties, tick read-only, save, ok.

It is done, have fun

if its on one computer only you can turn on defensive battles for your campaign (only when the AI attacks you though) too. you cannot defend against yourself attacking with another faction. dont forget to make the medieval.preferences.cfg read only so it is not changed back on restart to default

[multiplayer]
playable = true

[hotseat]
turns = false
scroll = false
autoresolve_battles = false
disable_console = true
disable_papal_elections = true
save_prefs = true
update_ai_camera = true
validate_diplomacy = true
