Yep, I'll get multiplayer for dev 23 working soon.

Today was the first day of school. My computer was out of commission
today, but it’ll be up and ready to go tomorrow. My first map will be
a version of capture the flag. I’l probably make a version for
multiplayer, and then another version to play against the computer. I
want to make it more complex than just fighting your way to the flag.
You’ll have to actually take it back to your own side like in the
actual game, while preventing your own flag from being captured. I the
multiplayer version ‘ll probably give the players a more or les equal
force of fighters, and it will be the job of the more strategically
minded player to deploy his players most effectively. For the
computer though, I wish I could place units in a random box location
like between, say, 3 3 and 5 4 so that the layout would be a bit
randomized. Barring that though, you will be able to beat the computer
map and then always beat it the same way probably. That makes me think
aobut making multiple computer maps with a different strategy for each
one, perhaps. It would provide more entertainment.
But yeah, capture the flag is an idea not yet thought of, and it will
be available for both the single and multiplayer side of things. Ian,
can you allow dev 23 into multiplayer? I would hate to have to play on
dev 15, which doesn’t have the speed optimizations you put in to dev
16 and beyond.
But yeah, that’s my plan. I’ve also loaded up a pair of sound
libraries onto my computer at school, and I can’t wait to ue them.
Before now I used to put in the sounds at home, but at home I had
other things to do besides tb. At cshool I don’t have much else to
occupy empty time beside tb, so I focus more on it. I can’t wat to
show this pack to the public. It’s gonna rock hard core!
