Played a coop game last night and got a pretty good list of things to change/add, as well as what i've picked up from reading some of the threads here.

So im going to maintain a working list here of Major and Minor focus tasks im starting with.

As well as this you can use this thread to suggest things you desperately want to see included or simple quick fixes.

I will be working from this svn branch:
https://ja2svn.dyndns.org/source/ja2/branches/Wanne/JA2 1.13 MP/

I am aware of these, and will check them out as i need more ideas.
JA2 MP Buglist.doc
JA2 MP Featurelist.doc
Features you would like - The Bear's Pit JA Community


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAJOR:

  • COOP players shared line of sight - 19/03
  • Client gets interrupt but server does not recognize it (reported bug ID#4) - 12/10
  • Synced inventory and items
  • Core game play, disable things that dont work, perfect things that do

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MINOR:

  • Deployment bullseye visible to clients - 30/09
  • Selected sector set to servers on join - 30/09
  • "You killed enemy soldier" -> "player_name killed an enemy soldier" etc...
  • Left over bullet dots on field - 02/10
  • Enemies left count option? - 30/09
  • Some form of persistence between matches
  • Class, Team, Loadout selection optimization
  • COOP players turn at same time option

Major:
As you stated, the main things are the interrupts and synchronization of items.


Minor:
The ability to choose your own team colors and insignia would be cool.

Expansion of scoreboard stats like headshots, explosion kills, tendencies et cetera. The ability to keep stats for a player with levels in a save file. Like in online console games and there achivements(X-Box 360). Certain levels unlock different things in the game. That idea is kind of out there but I can dream right? Plus I think that this would keep people playing, essentially expanding the Multiplayer community.

Maybe this could be implemented.

[*]Average weapon, average armor, a plethora of choices like: regen boost, canteen, camo kit, et cetera.
[*]Average weapon, superior armor, a couple of choices like: regen boost, canteen, camo kit, et cetera.
[*] Superior weapon, average armor, a couple of choices like: regen boost, canteen, camo kit, et cetera.

So, if one chooses a sniper then they will have a nice sniper rifle, but....there armor will be terrible.
Or, there could be a predetermined role based on character stats and traits. Kind of like a game of Team Fortress. Opinions, Revisions, Remarks are all welcome.

Teams ala Fight For Freedom mod.

Well before anything else (save for critical bits like synchronization etc), just see a fully working campaign for coop, even if some stuff have to be disabled initially due to whatever technical reasons.

I didn't mind the turn based individuality too much (was too much fun laughing at the hilarity of the gameplay situations with my friend anyway Razz) though I see how it would save a lot of time per round.

One minor thing I could think of though would be the ability to signal/mark/ping a location instead of having a shared vision. This would of course mean having an option which allows you to toggle shared vision on and off. This is mostly purely for a bit of "roleplaying" (2 players, 2 individual teams, maybe even competing whilst team-working at the same time if you know what I mean).

In any case I simply love it how a great game is being made into an even far greater game. Specially after the atrocity of the latest Back in Action. Whilst there may be a few raisins of good features and ideas, the game as a whole is just horrid Sad

@climbing: You cannot climb in a multiplayer game and the game should not crash.

Im server

We run latest non stable 1.13 version 5354
And we all so run aimnas v21

ok had a few goes tonight but so many inturupts that froze had to keep alt+e.

Any who

COOP

was on tile D2

We moved toward the main gate and my mate went on the grass then it exploded must have been a mine?.

But as soon as this happend he got kicked.

MP DM

For some reason when we move we keep getting explosions under the mercs feet looks like land mines but there aint any on that map tile normally.
Happens a lot to.

Another game

I threw about 2 grenades in about 2 turns.
One me third turn I threw one more and me mate got disconnected...I am sure that bug was fixed?

Mines dont seem to cause damage in MP as well.
I have not tested mines that players place them selfs I mean the pre placed ones dont seem to cause damage yet.

As I am currently working on the AI, I'll take a look at it. What is the exact procedure to reproduce? It would also help to know if the same bug applies to r5996.

Well exact procedure I am unsure of it seemed random.

ALT+E did nothing Sad
