Test my coop mission - Depuce Defence

[chafe10]

Hi folks,

I've made a coop mission that you can all try out. It's called Depuce Defence and your main objective is to defend Commander Depuce and destroy his enemies.

Since this is my first mission I'm sure there are lots of changes to be made. Feel free to leave feedback or replays in the thread.

To the people who just want a very easy game, a laugh or to test mission functionality you can turn debug mode on. You do this by making Player1 select the Seraphim faction in the lobby. You cannot lose the mission with debug mode on .

The only restriction is that you cannot play as Seraphim. If you do your faction will be changed to UEF.

To install the map just unzip the file and put the Depuce_Defence folder in with your other maps which is most likely here: Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Maps

To play the map open the FAF client and go to the coop missions tab. Then double click any map in the left side bar. Setup you game with your settings (e.g game name, password and mods) and then click host game. When Forged Alliance loads into the lobby click options and then select Depuce Defence in the list.

I hope you guys have fun, please find the download link below and any feedback is welcomed.

Start looks good.
I'm having some issues due too my lack of practice/skill/sleep but it doesn't feel unfair at all. I just didn't do it properly yet.

You should definetly join us on slack. That's where all the mission makers hang out and ask questions, answer them etc.
This will be quite useful for you since there will be an update very soon that will break your mission.
So ask speed2 to invite you (if he hasn't already), so we can help you with that if necessary.
See http://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?tit ... ith_others

Hope to hear more from you soon.

ok I played it with speed2, but at some point (when you have to defend the side and the 2 bases appear) my game crashed with an unhandled exception. Settings were on hard. Was quite nice actually... The bases on the bottom can be easily droped with percies though, theres some part with no aa. Maybe add some patroling asf there.

Replay of that game

Btw. you can PM me your email adress, I'll invite you to our #coop channel on slack (where all the other coop devs are).

your main objective is to defend Commander Depuce and destroy his enemies.

Thank you for responses and testing folks. I have updated the map and you can see the changes in the change log.

Have fun!

Yes like that guy .

Hi folks,

Version 2016.11.20.2 is available for testing. The first post has been updated with the new file. I suggest deleting the old version as the filenames have changed.

Have fun.

Can this be played single player? I normally like to do co-op missions solo with a mod or two on, but nothing I can do will get the launch button to be available to start the mission.

[KeyBlue]

Yes this can be easily played alone.
-> Host coop map (doesn't matter which) in faf lobby, switch to this mission. x up and then launch.

If that doesn't work then put in some explanation of what you are doing, and maybe even some logs would be useful.

So basicly do this :

To install the map just unzip the file and put the Depuce_Defence folder in with your other maps which is most likely here: Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Maps

To play the map open the FAF client and go to the coop missions tab. Then double click any map in the left side bar. Setup you game with your settings (e.g game name, password and mods) and then click host game. When Forged Alliance loads into the lobby click options and then select Depuce Defence in the list.
