you need an own install for each instance on your pc to get it working. same as years ago

thats funny as i was just testing it with running the exe twice and i got into a game...

Maybe it works for 90%, but I think it is saver to have separate installs.

Anyway, I have created a small batch script which copies the SVN GameDir files (from actual and development folder) to my JA2 installation folder. Of course you have to first update both GameDir folders from SVN before running the script.

You can downoad the script from here, if you are interested. Sure, you have to adjust your paths, before running the script first.

@interrupt hang: We have a feature document and a buglist documents for multiplayer/big maps project/map editor. You can grab them from SVN:

https://ja2svn.dyndns.org/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Developer_Docs/TODO

Take a look in the "JA2 MP Buglist.doc" file. The bug is listed with ID#4.

Maybe you have already seen some new multiplayer stuff in the recent version:

Here is small feature list whats the current status of MP, since you left MP development:

- New Graphical HOST / JOIN / Scoreboard screen
- Synchronizing gamedir files from the server to all the clients if choosen in the HOST screen
- Ingame chat by pressing 'y' and sending chat messages to all or only team members
- Special multiplayer interface in strategy screen for starting a game and unlocking the laptop
- New tactical "center" start location
- Scoreboard screen after a match
- New Syncs: Any kind of explosives, cutting fences
- Fixing a few bugs: E.g: 6th merc interrupt bug

I think that are the main features we added the last years. I hope we can get a new boost on MP development with you back on board Smile
