where you can set a value for number of players in the game, and gameplay does not start until that value is reached?
For example, you can set it to 8, and until there are eight players in the game, everyone will see "gameplay pending". Time doesn't tick away, players don't receive credits, and the harvesters are not produced.
I'm just asking if this is possible.

Silent Kane | Yes that's possible.
|
then does anyone feel the inclination to do it? I would, except I don't know how.

in a few months I might be able to make a server-side mod for this (armed with enough visual basic knowledge) but I haven't yet learned how to make things that interact with games, notably renegade. maybe you guys (BHS) could release a quick tutorial on what you must do to make things for the game. there are too few of us here that know how...

Spoony | then does anyone feel the inclination to do it? I would, except I don't know how.
| I think it would be in the server.dat, I just started trying to get rid of game play pending so 1 player can play on a large server by himself. I think it involves the same technique. If I find out how to get rid of it I'll see if i can make it for you so it waits there till you get 8 player.
PS. if you get your 8 player thing, could you let me know I'll see if i can make what i need out of it.

I see, so to make a dll for a game you have to make it in the language the game's dlls (or dll) were written in?? (although i get how you call your dll scripts.dll because the game exe accesses it for the game)

Just as a thought, could you be bothered to sit about watching a "Gameplay pending" screen while more players join, or is the idea more for clan or other organised games, so there isn't an advantage in having a faster pc and connection?

It's for clan games, normally you wait until everyone's in then everyone suicides so they all have 0 credits to make it fair, but the problem with that is if someone loads really slow then it fucks up the start of the game, with regards to harvesters and stuff.
For example if it's complex 3v3, if the clans are forced to wait about a minute before suiciding, GDI can get three humvees when the harv dumps, there is LITERALLY nothing nod can do.

It IS possible, I am sure v00d00 and myself could find a way (although we are currently both busy with other stuff)
I dont know about reporting refill.
It IS possible to disable refill but only in a mod or something where everyone playing has the same preset changes.

The refill stuff is quite easy as well. Might make a dll that does the refill stuff, the gameplay pending and additional adds client side chat log.
