From the readme located here:

Quote[/b] ]Muliplayer ECP

The ECP is fully compatible with MP play. It is recommended that all computers play with the ECP mod to prevent 'modified config.bin' error messages. It is important that all computers have the same version of the ECP as well.

You may play on non-ECP servers with the ECP installed, however many effects will not be visible because a number of important eventhandlers are registered on remote computers, not your own.

The ECP will operate in either dedicated or designated server mode.

Dedicated Server

If you are using a dedicated OFP server (running the OFP executable with the -server option) then the ECP will use dedicated server mode. This means that the 'simulation settings' on the dedicated server will be used by all connected to the server. All 'effect settings' are local to the client computers - you could turn off blood on a client, for example, and this would not effect any other computer on the network.

Designated Server

If you are not using a dedicated server, and the game has been started through the OFP 'multiplayer' interface, then the ECP will automatically pick one of the computers on the network to act as a designated server. The 'simulation settings' on this designated server will be used on all computers. Unfortunately there is currently no way for the ECP to determine which is the actual server in this sort of game (we are working on it!).

Important Notes!

It is ok to run the ECP on your system and connect to non-ECP servers on the internet. All of the ECP computers in the game will synchronise simulation settings amongst themselves as appropriate. Note that some effects will not be seen due to certain eventhandlers being local to other, non-ECP computers.

If you are a mission designer, please put a single trigger or game logic unit name 'ECP_server' in your mission. This will allow the ECP to correctly determine which computer is the server.

If you make new actions that will be usable all the time, I suggest, if possible, that they are activated through radio, and not the action menu. Otherwise I think there will be a bit too many actions at certain times.

There will be a collapsable/expandable menu in your actions list. Basically, you would have an action like "display ECP moves"; using it would put all the ECP moves into your action menu. Clicking it again would remove all those actions, so when you aren't using them, they would only add 1 action to your menu.

Also, you will personally be able to select what actions you want to use, via the settings.sqs. And of course, you will have the option to not use any of the moves at all, if you wish. There shouldn't be any problem with crowding in the action menu. Besides, it would be impossible to add them to the radio menu, so all there is really is the action menu.

That's a great idea. Can't wait to see the result

plz make all the ecp compatible with every unit not just the default ones

and if not possible plz allow for the most popular ones like bas units, red hammer vit etc.

at the moment i dont know how to make the bas units to join another group unless its a default bis one

Eh I've recently installed OFP on my new pc, and ECP too. But now I don't get the visual effects any longer. No shell casings ejecting, no explosions, no dust... I do get blood and I can give myself first aid etc. But the visual effects won't come back to me, even though I've reinstalled ECP several times, tried changing settings etc.

What could I be doing wrong?

Oh and could you please upload a zip/rar version, I don't really fancy the installers.

Never mind, fixed..

Download the latest dev config; there are new restrictions on the AI join scripts.

I saw this discussed recently at OFPEC. Here is what Killswitch had to say on the matter:

Quote[/b] ]Dont worry - there's a setting in @ECP\ECP_Settings.sqs for this... You need to open @EPC\ECP_Settings.sqs with Notepad or any text editor and scroll down to the end of it.

Look up a few lines and you should see

...

...

; AI Join/release Settings

; ================

; ECP_AI_release_enable

  ; enable the player to release members from his/her squad? (true/false)

  ; defined by server in MP

? [ECP_AI_release_enable] call ECP_is_null : ECP_AI_release_enable = true

; ECP_AI_join_enable

  ; enable the player to join "Man" type units to his/her squad? (true/false)

  ; defined by server in MP

? [ECP_AI_join_enable] call ECP_is_null : ECP_AI_join_enable = true

...

...

Edit that part and make it
