MULTIPLAYER MISSIONS |

How do I run a multiplayer mission?
Multiplayer missions must be run on a multiplayer server (hosted or dedicated). There are four multiplayer missions
included in Old Stomping Grounds, NB-BattleFront, NB-MaxThrottle, NB-Tetsuhara and NB-WarFortune. They support several Vengeance, Black Knight
and Mercenaries gametypes, so look under the different gametypes for the missions.
Something is wrong with the legacy gametypes. Navpoints and the scoring table don't show up!
The NFM for the mission has been broken and a needed line removed. This often happens when you use the NFM editor
- whilst a useful tool it has a habit of breaking custom gametypes. In your UserMissions directory you'll find
an NBNFM directory containing backups of the NFMs for Old Stomping Grounds missions.
I'm getting a nasty error at the end of the mission. Any ideas?
Custom missions of any kind don't normally support mission review. Make sure mission review is off when playing
custom stuff.
Why do I need to insert CD2?
That error normally indicates you've installed the mission (or map) in the wrong place, or you're missing the terrain
needed for the mission. Custom missions that make use of existing terrain should be installed in UserMissions,
not Missions.
If you don't have the terrains for the original Vengeance/Black Knight versions of the missions in this pack, download
and install the Old Stomping Grounds Terrain Pack.
If you do have the original terrains, make sure they are in your \RESOURCE\Maps directory of your Mercenaries installation.
The original terrain files are:

In the lobby I'm getting a 'This is impossible' error. Why?
The scenariotext line is missing from the NFM. Get the mission author to release a new NFM or add the line yourself. |

How do I run a Recon or Data Raid mission?
The new gametypes are included in multiplayer missions and must be run on a multiplayer server (hosted or dedicated).
There are four multiplayer missions supporting the new gametypes included in the demo. You'll find Recon and Data
Raid missions under the Custom Team Battle gametype.
Something is wrong with the new gametypes. Navpoints and the scoring
table don't show up!
