Re: [Help-liquidwar6] Help making a second player locally -- did the first one get thru?

[Andy Armstrong]

Thank you very much! 

I however have a couple of other modifications
that I would need.

I would want the 2 local players to
be playing against the computer co-operatively. So they would be helping
one another instead of being a deathmatch.

Can you point me to the correct section
of code in order to do this?

Thank you .

P.s - what development environment do
you use for coding this game - Im trying to use eclipse - but I cannot
use eclipse and windows when you recommend using msys instead of mingw!

Thanks

Andy

Hi,

You don't need to patch the code. The game does handle 2 local players
right now (up to 4 including bots). Go to the players menu, click on one
of the "Free slot" buttons. Click on one of "Not playing"
button until it
shows something like "player3@<hostname>". You might also
need to change
the input (keyboard, mouse...).

I acknowledge this "players" menu lacks "user friendliness"
:(

Have a nice day,

Christian.

PS: "Quick start" will always play red on green with green being
a bot. To
play other configurations, you need to start a game locally ("Play"
->
"Local game").
