First off, I want to say what an incredible resource this site is for the OFP community!
I have learned massive amounts of info here regarding editing. I do have one sore spot, though. There seems to be a real separation between the General Editing board and the MP board . If a person asks a Q on the General board and barely mentions the words "Multiplayer" or "MP" ....whoosh.... u are banished to the land of MP ... a place which gets MUCH less traffic (and answers) than the general board. A post on the general board is usually answered in hours, if not minutes. A MP post can take several days , if it is ever answered. That can be frustrating if you're in the midst of editing.
I realize that the people answering Q's are volunteering their personal time. For that, I am very grateful. Is it just that there aren't that many people knowledgeable in the techniques of MP editing or is there a SP bias going on here? From my viewpoint, MP is much harder to edit and control things happening because there are more variables involved ...(no. of players , human leader, AI leader, etc.).
I just look at creating a MP mission so that it could be played in either SP or MP mode. Therefore, many times the questions are relevant to both boards. It is, after all, called the GENERAL board and not the SINGLE PLAYER board. Speaking to some other MP mission makers, I don't feel I'm alone here.
Also , would you not say there are plenty of people who regularly visit only one or two sections of the Forum? I only ask that because I notice how much it is frowned upon to link to a thread on another board.
At any rate, this site has so many helpful sections and knowledgeable people . I would have given up editing any missions in OFP if it were not for this site.
Thanks ....Mr.B
