Title: Spectator Mode In Multi
Post by: dm-horus on June 23, 2006, 06:22:38 PM

How difficult would it be to code up a spectator mode for multiplayer?

When you leave the op2 main screen alone for a few seconds, a demo plays. Could this simply be exploited? Spec would be really handy for tournaments and anyone who just wants to study tactics. Is this possible?

just join a multi game, and make sure no one is gonna attack you.

ya but i meant a spectator mod e that doesnt take up player count. its impossible to have a 3v3 with spectators, for example. having a seperate spectator category wouldnt take up player slots. and you wouldnt have to worry about a spectator deciding to compete.

wudn't you have to "add player slots" and just not give those players buildings or vechs.

Like if they were all destroyed in a multigame.

There is a spectator mode its called joining the game and not giving any one your vecs hehehe.

Spectator option check box.  Like there is a eden and a ready check box that basicly give no base and no vecs.  Personally i dont think that is fun because i like to build a base while i spectate

You could probably do that in the DLL.
