Welcome to the Multiplayer Development Forum!

Post by Dave »

We've opened this new forum to discuss all aspects of multiplayer development. This will include discussion of balancing changes, as well as server issues and development.

Sounds good.

What exactly should be posted here? Can, for example, eras that people have created be posted here, or do those belong in S&C development?

BTW: This forum has no moderators.

Turin: User campaigns go in Scenario and Campaign Development, so user Eras should go in Multiplayer Development.

Well, previously eras (and maps) were posted in S&C dev.

So now both will be posted here? It seems good to not have the S&C dev. forum so crowded...

Given that there is no such thing as a scenario that isn't for multiplayer or a campaign, shouldn't S&C be renamed to just Campaign Development then?

S&C usually picks up the WML questions as well, which would probably have as good a home there as here. It would be nice though if the WML questions stayed consolidated in one or the other. The kinds of things people try to do with WML aren't so different between SP and MP.

Just be reasonable. If someone posts a help request for finishing Heir to the Throne here, then clearly that's off-topic, but if anything could be arguably on-topic here, then let's just not sweat it.

Sure. S&C development should focus more on single player campaigns and WML issues. Once again though, either way is fine.

Oh, and one last question. Will, as happened when the Music Development forum was created, the topics that would belong in here, but were posted earlier in the S&C dev. forum, be moved here?

(I think that makes sense, and I can't find any better way of phrasing it. :) )

If moderators have the time and inclination, they are welcome to do this.

Given that it's been done, who did it? Clearly not moderators...

Who do you think the moderator of the scenario and campaign forum is? I would say clearly it was a moderator... who else would do it?

It had to be an admin. The reason why all mods are mods of Off-Topic is that you have to be a moderator of a forum to move a topic there. So if EP wanted a topic moved from Strategies to Developer Discussion he would move the topic to Off-Topic and then someone, say Invisible Philosopher, would move the topic from Off-Topic to Developer Discussion.

No, it was I. We can move topics to other people's forums without asking.

Hmm, you're right... I seem to recall not being able to do that in the past, though (one of the reasons there were so many mods in OT, I was once told).

Sanna set it up that way. Maybe it was set this way before the crash. Some other settings, such as the layout of the attachment control panel probably reset to defaults.
