Bridge from IL2 to IL2 COD

[wildwillie]

Ataros -

The mission events are used for 2 reasons:

1st - It allows us to record player activity and keep statistics for them. This information is kept in a database then processesed/displayed on Web Stats screens. IMHO Players are stat whores and want to see their exploits compared to others. There is a small stats screen within Clod, but it does not show comparisons against others.

2nd - As you pointed out the new style works well for continuation wars. How does this work if the mission changes maps ?


It seems to complicate the Mission Builders job considerably. Perhaps when there is documentation on scripting and a collection of scripts mission makers can share it will be better.

As I understand it now, mission builders still create multiple missions that they would like to have run, but would need to build one mission around them that keeps tabs on the events to schedule the missions accordingly. Again IMHO allowing a mission builder to just add missions to a list which is run in order seemed simplier. Do not get me wrong, I thing there are some wonderful opportunities with the new system that we have not touched yet. But the simplicity of IL2 has merits too.

Are you supposed to be able to communicate with the Dedicated Server console ?
