    • Questions and stuff about Ares 1.2.0 and Hera


      If I modify my game with Hera, will I still be able to play with others on Gameranger? Lets say I give my fighter 10000 shields and an Onas pulse gun. Will these changes show on multiplayer games? If I created a new level, will me and my opponent be able to use it as a multiplayer level?

      About Ares 1.2.0... Will there be support for more than 2 players on multiplayer mode?

      ------------------

    • Depends.

      Not sure how much I can say, so I'll try and keep it to what is already public knowledge.

      First, multiplayer missions will be supported. Its not clear yet how they will be implimented - whether its a plugin-loading type structure. More than two players will not be supported, thats a basic engine change, which isn't happening now. Plugins do NOT modify internal resources, so giving your fighters Onas pulse guns will only work in your own personal plugin, and you won't be able to have a game with someone who doesn't have the same plugins as you.
