Hi Folks,
Hoping someone may help...
In my current game I have 2 allies and we share rst files. My problem
is that I'm yet to find a client program that can resolve the
minefield messages correctly when all 3 rst's are unpacked in the same
directory...
JVC and PCC do not appear to show minefields detected by my allies.
VPA seems to be the only one that I've come across that will parse the
msg files from each race's rst file and display the associated
minefields. However vpa can get confussed - ie you see different
minefileds depending on what race you play. Also, vpa doesnt resolve
situations like a low id ownship detecting a minefield which is then
sweept by a higher id enemy ship and then yet a higher id ownship on
minesweep detects nothing but vpa still draws the field based on the
first minefield detection.
Are there any clients that can use multiple rst's reliably ?
