How feasible would it be to have an online mission and override the default game-over system that A2 has?

hopefully we will see some decent single player missions from this, nice work man.

Oh yes. we will. TUN has announced that Sigma will get a campaign, Wastelands will have one and I'm pretty sure Maj will want to do one as well. Let's wait and see who else will start working on SP missions.

The only deterrent I can imagine is the required knowledge of LUA, which will be an obstacle for people with no programming experience, but hey, it's a cool language and worth learning.

What about multi-player missions?

I assume that Out-of-Sync problems will make that one a bit complicated, I don't know if MMM can do distributed missions, this would either require an additional TCP layer or complete and total independence of the mission modules (so that all changes done by MMM are transmitted through the game itself). I have no knowledge of how A2/FO multiplayer works (technically), so I may be wrong.

Multiplayer missions aren't feasible at the minute and won't be a focus for some time - I may dabble to get a feeling of what is possible, but the focus is on single player for now.

What a pitty. Co-Op missions with some storyline and happenings would rock.

I agree, missions like king of the hill, or assault style objective based coop would be awesome.

Yes, please don't feel like I'm dismissing the idea out of hand - it just isn't possible at the moment, but I'll continue trying to find ways around the problems.

Awesome.  I really would like to have some gameplay, in my case like capture the flag, but instead one human tries to capture the flag, and hold it, and the other team has to keep them from it, and the flag is stationary.

sounds like king of the hill

Those game modes are in fact in A2 already

Yep, KotH would be awesome.

There is king of the kill in FO?

can this be used to add script to normal instant action games or is it purly single player missions only?

assault and capture the flag is available in A2. it may also work with FO, but we haven't tested that yet. all that is required for that is maps that support these modes. may not be hard to do actually, but haven't tried it
