This release of MMM fixes some issues found in 1.0.0, as well as adding a few extra features. Of particular note is support for child mods (where MMM maps don't have to be in the main mod) and the addition of the Premonitions sample mission.

Ok, everyone who already downloaded it, could you redownload? The original upload had some broken tutorials.

Have you installed this? It was mentioned on the getting started page - I'll add a link in the post.

I jut played it and had no errors, played like the A1 original only much better. This is fantastic work I really enjoyed it and hope to see some more A1 missions re-done in the future.

I do have a question however. I noticed in the single player menu screen only four images for campaigns, is there a way to have like 6 or 8? Reason I ask is down the track I plan to make my own like I think many people will however I was hoping to be able to have more than four (replacing the tutorials with a campaign) and so I was just wondering if this is on the books or the to-do list at all?

Also I know A2 does support full screen cinematic animations like A1 did but is a change so it can on the books at all? Just curious either way you've done what we all thought was the impossible and this has I think become the best addon/mod for A2.

MMM is laid out as replacement for the mission definitions/scripts DLLs, which won't be loaded until the map is being loaded, so it can not support customization of the SP screen.
However, such a feature for Fleet Operations is planned (already begun work on it).

At the minute you're limited until the mission screen gets an upgrade, as Doca said. However in the meantime, you could have a structure like this:

Code: Select all

ModContent
   ModCampaignPart1
   ModCampaignPart2


Where the campaign is split into two separate mods, which would allow up to 8 slots. Each campaign mini mod could just contain an mshell.set and the appropriate bink files and be a child of the content mod, where all the odfs, models and maps would go.

Also I know A2 does support full screen cinematic animations like A1 did but is a change so it can on the books at all?

I've been poking around this area for a while, not made any progress yet but we'll see. It does look a bit odd just watching ships instead of the bridge scene.

That's great, thanks for the heads up!

That's a doable work around for the short0term. Thanks.

I agree, but I must admit it's better than nothing.
