Multi-Player Add-Ons Idea

Post by OphiliaJohnson »

Not really sure what else to call it, but i notice playing on steam having multible add-ons will often cause issues crossing add-ons together, so i was thinking for the Multi-player have a small UI directing to Add-ons so that you can select which add-ons are in use, which will reload the game and recreate the cache directly from multi-player menu so we would'nt have to go back to the main menu, install and uninstall mods, reload cache for the game then for the multi-player...

There were proposals like this and I do not say they are bad, but if add-ons effect the game without being explicitly selected in the mp menu (eras, scenarios and mods) then it's probably a bug in the addon. And you should report that big to the add-ons author.
Scenario with Robots SP scenario (1.11/1.12), allows you to build your units with components, PYR No preperation turn 1.12 mp-mod that allows you to select your units immideately after the game begins.

if only he can understand which addon causing bug

maybe there could be some kind of notification given to user if some add-ons cross/double ids or macros between each other which can cause bug.
Or maybe if there is more than one id/macro of same name (not sure what exactly of them can cause incompatibility issues)
