Dynamic Campaign Released

[Phazon]

Looks good. Glad someone has the time to explore the capabilites of the new engine, since Maddox Games clearly doesn't. They are too busy fixing it and adding other things.

Hi! Great work as usual!

Is it possible to take this campaign to MP server side? Say every 20 minutes a new 40-60-minute mission will launch from specific airfields. Players would receive briefing upon spawn on a particular field.

This would make a perfect "coop" server. Players would know that every 20 minutes a new "coop" starts. If someone finishes his mission earlier he could fly a short "dogfight" mission from a more close airfield.

I believe CloD engine allows any offline campaign to be played online with minor changes, i.e. spawnpoints and onscreen briefings added.

I didn't look at it too much, but "41Sqn_Banks" tool seems like a better fit for that.

It does not work online yet as far as I know.

Ideally I wish all offline campaigns are developed with online use in mind. The game engine took away differences between coop and dogfight and can do the same with off- and online differences.

If it is too much work for offline campaign creators maybe someone would write a script or addon for servers to allow them running offline campaigns as online ones in MP. Creation of spawnpoints can be scripted. The only thing that would require human input is writing briefings for the opposing side as they are not written for offline mode. However creation of a simple briefing can be scripted too.

If this toolbox is available a convention among campaign makers can be created to follow some technical standards to make all campaigns compatible with this server side addon.

Just imagine that you can fly all available offline campaigns together with your friends as a "coop" and against real opponents. This is where real power of the CloD engine would itself.

@ moderators

Is it possible to create an Offline/singleplayer subforum to collect all threads with campaigns and single-player missions. It is very difficult for most of casual users to find them as they never visit the FMB subforum where these threads are lost among technical discussions anyway. E.g. of such subforum at sukhoi.ru http://translate.google.com/translat....php%3Ff%3D226

Many users still complain that there is no playable offline contents available because they are just not informed.

An alternative is to make this thread a sticky if feasible http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=23652

This sounds really good. Thank you very much. (I just need to finish something else first before diving back into Clod.)

Ataros' idea would make things much easier for players looking for more content.

Very wise Ataros we should be endorsing this idea moderators ,it makes sense.
