Folders in MPMissions creates hierarchy in Mission List

Recommended Posts

For example if you create a folder in MPMissions named 'Warfare' and another named 'Domination'. Then you put all the versions of Warfare in its folder + all the versions of Dom in its folder the rest of the normal coops where they normally would be (MPMissions). When selecting a mission in MP you can navigate the folders in the "Mission" side of the screen. Looking something like:

Mission:

<<New - Editor>>

<<New - Wizard>>

<<Warfare>>

<<Domination>>

Coop GameExOne

Coop GameExTwo

This will organize/make it easy to run servers that have tons of missions.

That's how SP works but I'm not sure if the MP server admin panel has support for that? Sure the hosting screen does, but from a dedicated server does it?

Just checked right now, nope. Got all excited for a sec there because I just thought of it, didn't know SP does that. ;)

SP works that way only for completed SP games. Sadly the only way to manage SP editing missions is by using separate profiles - not very optimal to say the least.

I would like to have directories per island, and user made directories within that. In my own profile, I now have only 245 missions, and that's after getting rid of all the extracted SP and campaign missions.

Huh? What's a "completed" SP game? I downloaded 9 new SP missions from BTK this afternoon. I dumped them, unplayed, into E:\CO\Missions\BTK and under Singleplayer -> Scenarios there was a BTK... listing and double clicking that brings you to another level of missions with all 9 missions listed there. Didn't start any of them or anything. Maybe I'm not understanding what you're talking about?

I always make new folders for sp/coop in missions folder: I44, CWR2, Unsung, fdf, csla, racs, or pack for island for example Duala sp mission pack etc.

I have ~800 missions so its easy for me to find them if they are sorted this way (or change them if new version is coming). I dont like one very big list with couple houndrets of missions ;)

@kylania: Lol, sorry. With completed I mean pbo'ed missions that go into the SPMissions directory and subdirectories. However, I never play from here, I extract to profile\missions, and play from the editor :)
