MP Mission making

[tractorking 10]

Ive done several Single Player missions and would like to make some for multiplayer.

What are the diffrences and what files and scripts need to be in place or edited to simply convert SP missions to MP.

Searched but couldnt find the basics.

SP to MP is usually just about locality and synchronizing, depending very much on how the scripts are written and executed, so I'd suggest making some units playable and testing it online with someone first.

One important thing however, the intro and outro sections of the mission don't work (to my knowledge) in MP, so cutscenes have to be made in the mission itself. There's also the problem that every client joins/starts the mission at a slightly different time so conversations and one-time events are hard to make properly.
