Balanced MP OOBs

[Garnier]

I've been putting together some balanced MP OOBs. They are based off of the Gettysburg master oob, and the TC2M master oob. To use them in MP, create an "OOBs" folder in your Work folder, and place the csv files there. Then create a MP sandbox game and you should see them in the list.

They're organized so that each player should take a division commander, and they'll get roughly 2000 men and 4-6 guns. On many of them there are also some artillery brigades/battalions that have ~20 guns each.

The OOBs are balanced almost perfectly between the two sides as far as numbers of infantry and cannons and their quality is concerned.

In the OOB's name, the ##P stands for the number of "divisions" available, which is the recommended number of players. For OOBs with an odd number, they are still balanced, just one side has one more division, but all their divisions are slightly smaller.

These OOBs are hosted on the Teamspeak Server, and you can download them all in one click there. It's a very easy place for me to put them up as I work on them.

You can also download them one at a time with these links:

Note that oobs and scenarios are only required on the server machine. They will send them to everyone else.

And I'm extremely grateful for that. Thanks norb.

Hi.

I have been out of the loop for a few weeks here so I am confused. Are we now able to use mods in Multiplayer and if so how? If not is there any idea as to when we will be able to use mods (ie custom OOBs) in Multiplayer?

Thanks!

[Garnier]

Mods are allowed in mutliplayer now, but not using the mod folder system.

For OOB mods, create an "OOBs" folder in the Work folder and place the OOB files in this new "OOBs" folder. Only the host needs to have the OOBs in multiplayer.

Other csv files go in a "Work/Logistics" folder that you create. Logistics files need to be the same on all players computers.
