Is Hud max set targeting range supposed to work on all fighters in the game? When I start a multiplayer server with this active it works on the server end, but the client is not restricted and can target up to infinity. Thanks.

Some sexps do not work on multiplayer, this must be one of those.
I'm not sure if there's a list in the wiki listing multiplayer compatible sexps, I tried looking for it but found nothing.

I don't have a list of the SEXPs that are fixed. But you can generate one from this snippet of code.

Anything following the word case is the name used in the code for the SEXP. Usually it's pretty easy to figure out the actual name of the SEXP. In addition to these, there are some SEXPs that :v: coded support for (Change-iff is one IIRC).
If there are SEXPs you know don't work in multiplayer, mantis them. Many SEXPs are a 2-3 minute job to fix for multiplayer. Only a few have proved to be really hard/impossible.

I will look into the Mantis thing. Has anybody been able to get the wing commander style auto-pilot to work in multiplayer? Me and a friend created a mission, added navpoints, and bound keys for time compression. Everything works great when you are testing on the server end. However, on the client end things get all funky. The navpoints show up, but time compression seriously screws the game up(is this one of the impossible multiplayer additions)?
-
I wouldn't know until I looked at the code to be honest. SEXPs are usually very simple to fix for multiplayer because a couple of years back I deliberately wrote a multiplayer SEXP feature into the code that was designed to make adding multiplayer support for new SEXPs ridiculously simple.
Adding support for things which aren't SEXP based can be simple or difficult depending on what needs to change. If Autopilot does require something beyond SEXP changes, stick that in a separate Mantis report and I'll look at it too.
