Copy / Paste Single Player Scripted Scenarios for Use in Scripted Multiplayer Games

Team:

I downloaded the SDK, but am rather confused. How do I copy a Single Player Gettysburg Scenario (On to the Round Tops) so that I can use it on Multiplayer? Oh, and also, so that the Union troops don't behave like it is a Sandbox game (i.e. abandoning Devil's Den, the Wheatfield, Little Round Top...in order to march around the roads for a sandbox attack)?

My hope is I can copy the scenario folder from the Work - SDK - Scenarios folder and place it into a multiplayer folder?

In other words, how do I play a Single Player scenario in multiplayer mode, but still have the opposition oppose me as if it were a scripted game? I want my dad to take Law's brigade forward to Little Round Top while I hammer away at Devil's Den and the Wheatfield :)

Many thanks! I have been looking through the SDK V106 PDF and it is a little overwhelming as I have no desire (at this point) to modify or create brand new variations / scenarios (just a simple copy and paste would suffice...)

All of the battlescript commands will not work in Multiplayer, except for the end time.

Your best bet is to open one of the MP scenarios in the SDK and look how they are setup. They really are pretty simple to make. In fact, there should be a roundtops MP scenario already in the game.

I have a MP scenario creation tutorial that is basic not, overwhelming.

Note: The SDK linked is probably out of date.

So to be clear, scripting does not work in multiplayer games? There is no way to have the AI behave / act the same way in the multiplayer game as it does in the single player game? If so, this is quite unfortunate as it would be very cool to attack the wonderfully created scenarios with other people.....

That's correct. Although there are several MP scenarios setup with the troops in their historic positions, including Little Round Top. Also strategic AI is turned on, which means the AI will make tactical decisions based on the situation.
