Setting up Missions on another PC

[Bikerjack]

Hi,

I have an idea to create missions whilst there are "quiet" moments at work. I am downloading Steam and CLOD as I type this.

Question - The PC I am using at work is not up to running CLOD in terms of CPU/Graphics capability. If I go into CLOD through my Steam account and either update or create a new mission in FMB, do I need to have exactly the same spec as my gaming PC at home - i.e. 1.08 Beta patch, SMAA etc, etc?

Will I have to verify the game when I get to my gaming PC or will the missions exist and be playable at home?

Thoughts? Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

same patch is a good idea- missions created using 100 octane spits/hurris in 1.08 won't play on a 1.05 install. Missions created in any previous version will play on a later patched version- tho they may not play out exactly- changes in AI, changes in takeoff routine can have effects.

To get the missions you created you will have to copy the files (mission,briefing,script files as well as any pics/sounds used in briefing) to the same directory on your gaming computer (usb key/email?)

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I will download and install 1.08 on the work PC. The idea is to set up the main components of a mission and then finally tweak it at home. From what you have said it is possible to achieve this.

One question though - Do I have to verify the game, it means I will have to reinstall patches and all the other little "tweaks" every time I set a mission up remotely.

Thanks again Bolox.

can't see why you would should need to verify(but this is steam)-I'd just put steam into offline mode at work (and auto updates off) -if possible

Steam will ask you if this is your new pc or something, I think you will have to click a verification email ever time you log in on the other PC.

Thanks for that. I have a feeling you are right. No hardship to obtain and enter the code. It won't be everytime - only when I muck about on the work PC to create a mission.

Downside is that the FMB (surprisingly) takes up so much memory in 3D mode that the mouse cursor struggles to move fluidly. I have already set up two basic missions just to see if the process works and emailed the files back to me to pick up later at home.

In a nutshell, I don't think I have gained anything in that I could have set these missions up at home in a fraction of the time. That is unless you have any tips for optimising FMB in 3D mode on a low performing PC?

Thanks for the feedback though.
