We had a blast this afternoon. Lee made a new level with up to 4 players. The code held together just great and so Lee is left just with a list of tweaks on the MP work now.
In MP mode you can use weapons that shoot, eg shot guns, lazers, mini guns, machine guns, the tavor lazer rifle etc. The cool thing about the tavor is that if you have it in zoom mode and you hit your target, then the player you hit goes down - it's risky though because you cannot scan around so well in zoom mode.
I think you'll all get a great deal of satisfaction from making your own MP levels and playing against your friends. Let me explain how i works:
* You choose the type of game you are to make, single player or MP arena.
* If you place say 2 Aiko characters into your arena then the MP game will offer only these characters for your MP game. Add 2 more Aikos and you'll have a 4 player MP game.
* If you have 4 different characters, say Aiko, Nazi Thug, Conker and Colonel X, then your game will offer one of these to each player. As each player joins, the characters grey out in the list. So first come, first served - of course the player who hosts the game has first choice.
* The host player will be the server, so his system does all the message work too, so it's best this is hosted by the player with the best PC.
* When you design the game you choose how many frags the game will play to, so you just keep blasting and respawning until the player with the most frags hits the target and wins.
I will make a video this week because text does not really tell you much!
