This is the first of several ideas for improvement of TH scenarios. I relation to many personal experiences with organizing common events i want to put here it as a challenge for developers. We need a system which allows us register and assign players to the scenario event as much as possible automaticaly to avoid primal chaos before start of the event. There are some technical limitation given by the WB framework, but some solutin would be possible. Instead introduction here is our chat with franz- about it: thx franz for brainstorming. Any comments, ideas about, how to realize it?
Gee, man... Its above and beyond my skills... I would really like to see something like that working... but it is franz-/sonicx/tiefox matters...sry... btw lets do the best we can with we have now!
We need to rebuild the Freehost Launcher. Make Freehost Launcher accept a command line parameter. Then a third party application will launch FHLauncher.exe with a parameter corresponding to the slot. FHLauncher then executes an alias upon connection : .thirdparty <parameter_received_in_the_command_line> .thirdparty will pass the entire parameter to a registered procedure wich will control airplane start position, speed, etc... This must be sincronized with the third party application thought a side door. We need a side door for third party clients, separated from Warbirds FE door.
fe cannot start from given position with given speed. only altitude over airbase could be set, afaik.
