How to set up your own MP Game

[mcler002]

To start with, load full mission builder in extra's...

Once this loads, cancel the 'open window'. Then press 'file' and hoover over 'Load Map'. Here you can choose between the 5 in-game built maps. Find one that suits you...

Once you have done this, go back to the task bar, select 'Edit' and click on 'Armies'. To keep it simple, move 'United Kingdom' into RED and 'Germany' into BLUE (Move into 'IN USE').

The next step i took was to add some 'fluff' into the 'briefings' box, found in the 'Edit' column. Just select new, select info and add some info about your 'mission'.

Right, now time to add your spawn points. From the previous version of il2 (1946) this use to be done via Home Base... Now on COD you can have aircraft spawning at any point with easy... (If im wrong, please correct me - but from my exp you had to create a test runway {or fake runway as i like to think of it} and then you could place a Home Base on top...) I hope everyone understands that lol... Anyway as i havnt spent alot of time on this new FMB, ill just go with what i have so far... Go to the task bar, select 'View' and click on 'Object Browser'. Scroll and find 'Spawn Area', once you have done this find the place where you would like aircraft to spawn. Then simple hold down the Ctrl Key and click. This should place an icon on the map where your mouse icon has been. You can move it about if you are unhappy with your first choice. Inside the 'Object' window you should find two new tabs. Select 'Spawn area'. From here you can; edit the spawn point name, choose which army, select the nation etc etc. When you have finished the first 'Spawn Area' make sure you right click and press 'Un-Select' before continuing...

Thats a start... Will carry on tomorrow! Save the mission in Multi under a name of your choice!
