So everything goes in the missions folder?

[Timerlane]

You can ignore the 'campaign' and 'backup' folders, but yes. I almost think I should have left the campaign file in it's own separate download to remove any confusion.

[Darthvegeta800]

Thanks!

[Col.Hengist]

So anything new going on with this? i'm eagerly looking forward for more content  :)

[Timerlane]

Work still continues on the MC1-remake campaign, but apart from that, not much to speak of, AFAIK.

[Timerlane]

Spoke/asked just a little too soon. :P

There are a few campaigns and a new release, pinned at the top.

[Col.Hengist]

Nice. Ill ave to check it out when i get home.

[Warpimp]

Why can I not beat the first mission on the Merc campaign. Everytime I destroy the convoy it tells me "Mission Failed"

[Col.Hengist]

I've had some problems with it too, it's usually because you missed one vehicle or something like that

[BATTLEMASTER]

Yeah, I could never get passed that first mission.  Was never fast enough, even with the Jenner.  One of the reasons why I stopped playing!  Then again RTS aren't really my thing anymore.

Omnitech is great O0

any idea when multiplayer will work ?

Also are there any plans to make the mission editor more simple, like MC Gold's one ?

Cheers

One small thought on the AI:

Rather than have the AI check every 0.5s for a better target, would it be possible to either make a longer interval (in the 2-10s range) or else a small CHANCE (around 25%) to change targets every half-second?  That way, the AI would be less predicatable, yet would tend to follow through with what it started.  If it's "after you", that way it might keep chasing for a while until it appears that something else distracted it.  When it's constantly and predictably shifting targets, everything close to it gets shot up at around the same rate.

Thanks for all of the time, effort, and enthusiasm that you've been putting into this project.

I believe they've stopped using moddb for uploads, instead putting them on rapidshare and the like.

You can always find the latest release link on their main release thread, over at Hard Light.

Also, for some semi-recent good news: the MCO project has picked up some additional talent.
