I was chatting with Mod Tester, and we discussed that if we can make a new mission mod file that players could download, we could do a lot of interesting things, such as rebs vs rebs and such *in the same server* as standard games, and things like no-cap CC maps.
I propose that we discuss what we want to have in two new mission mods.
1) mission mod 1: cloud city only--every variation we can think of
For example
here is a video i made with CPs inverted and it loads Endor units on CC

2) mission mod 2: other maps
the only requirement is that other than a mission.lvl file, no other player downloads are required.
Any thoughts on what you would like to see?
------------------------------------------
GCW Only with 4 variations in LUA:
CC Standard Rebs vs Emp.
CC Inverted Emp vs Rebs
CC Emp vs Emp
CC Reb vs Reb
ok, with further discussions, the next question is:
can a mod map call a new mission file? (so that the original mission does not get messed with)
for example, everyone downloads one mod map and with in it is just the file:
new-mission.lvl
inside the new mission file are multiple calls to all the stock maps, or server side modded stock maps
MOre ideas for CC
-force to specific team (its possible but i forgot how to do it)
-republic vs.cis
-republic vs. republic
-cis vs. cis
-cw era inverted.

Thats a bit challenging to do. Is it possible to have the mission.lvl on the server side be the one that ends up being used?
If I understand what you mean, then I think yes, the modded server could have the mission file replaced directly.
All of your suggestions would work, but I also don't know how to force players to a specific side in multiplayer. I would be very interested in knowing if that could actually work.
Server side--side.lvl mods work work too, like unit speed adjustments and things.
Thanks!
ok, i have made CC with one and two locals
