Well I took a few hours of my time away from Trait 17 and threw together a quick multiplayer game which I titled "Going Postal"

The game takes place in a big 8 story business building, with a player starting on each floor. There are a couple weapons on each floor, and the objective is simple: kill anyone and everyone you encounter. First to 25 wins

Firstly great map, although I've been loading this up every now again over the last few days and don't appear to be any matches going on?

Secondly, when I host my own game your map appears to be full of dynamic entites, lifts, doors and so on which I thought was supposed to be impossible in FPSC multiplayer.

Can you shed some light on this as I've not ventured into multiplayer map making due to that limitation in the past but if it can be done like in your map thats great news.

I know there was a hack where you could make a single player map then somehow make it multiplayer but thought the dynamic elements didn't show on other peoples games so when a door opens in your game another person just sees you running through a closed door etc.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to test it properly as can't find a game to join.

you can get dynamic entities in multiplayer by making the map in singleplayer mode then switching to multiplayer mode after the map is done.(at least that's what I've heard)

Yeah I've heard that too but apparently dynamic entites are not updated across the network so if someone opens a door and walks through it they will simply disappear through a closed door to any other players in the game.

I suppose if you don't mind playing with such bugs it still allows for more interesting maps but you could never release a commercial multiplayer like that.

So it's either stable maps with static geometry only or interesting maps with people appearing and disappearing all over the place. Hmmm

Is anyone actually playing this map online as I've not seen any games being hosted and I'd like to give it a go to test the dynamic content with other players in the game.

Thats exactally what I did to get the dynamics in, make it in single player then when I was finished I switched it to multiplayer mode. I've only played one game with my brother and everything seemed to work great, and that was before the update. I didnt even seem to notice the bug with the elevator doors, I guess I wasnt paying attention. But it wouldnt bother me anyways, since it was just something I made for fun. I have to run for about 2 hours or so, but I'm willing to play when I get back if anyone is up for it. I'll post when I'm back

What's annoying though, is opening a door that is closed for another person, and shooting through it.

I'll download ASAP.
