I've seen this done before so I tried to do it real quick tonight by modifying MT-06. Dropped Alpha 4 and Zeta 4 and added Beta and Theta wings with 3 ships each. Kept getting Alpha 3 should be part of Alpha or Zeta wing. Went back to retail FRED and the warning I got there was that each ship in Beta and Theta should be in Alpha or Zeta. OK now there is definitely a bug in the error message in FRED2_Open. The question is should the message even be there?
This opens up another issue. If you can do a 12 player TvT then the custom wing name section needs updated to include the names of the other 2 wings.

You can do 12-player co-op, not 12-player TvT.

Well I just set up 2 computers to try it. FS2 doesn't complain about it but you can't load out beta and theta wings. Would need at least 5 people to see what would happen if one was actually assigned to beta or theta wing at start. I've got enough computers to give it a shot myself but I haven't had enough beers to give that a shot yet. Running FS2 on 5 computers with 2 monitors is just a little much.
-
Well I did it. 5 computers running FS2 online at the same time.
Anyway mission loaded but as soon as it finished I got a message something like unable to assign players to their ships and it crashed. Well at least it's something to go on to see if this feature can be added at some point.

I've been thinking about playing about with the ship numbers for TvT for a while now. It's obviously a very big job though from looking at the code and I'd rather spend that time trying to find out what's the cause of the lag FS2 seems to experience first.
-
Well can you fix that warning message to display the correct ship name. Trying to figure out why Alpha 3 is supposed to be part of Alpha wing when it is is kind of annoying. :cool:

Stick the mission on Mantis and I'll take a look.
