I think that it is possible to implement sequential turn in MP using current SDK and modding 2 system file on local PCs. Below you can find description of this idea and sample code.
Ok, let;s start with basic plan, requirements and assumption:
1) I want to implement "Player Units Moving Turn" during standard simultaneous turn.
2) I want to implement all change transparently to single player games and all others MODs. Basically by adding ScripData by map script and checking it in system function that I have to change.
3) At the beginning of all turns I want to set zero movements points for all units. So nobody can move their units before turn sequence but players can change setting and e.g cities...
4) I want to active Moving Player sequential from Player[0] to Player[21]
5) I want to set movements points to max for all units of Moving Player at the beginning o his Moving Turn.
6) I want change again moving point to zero after finishing Moving Turn by relevant player who has ended his Moving Turn.
Ok, now description how i want to do it.
Step #1:
First thing it is to change to zero movement points of all players and active first Moving Player. I will use for this Events.ActivePlayerTurnStart
Sample code (I plan use ScripData to mark current Moving Player):
Step #2:
Next step it is to change Moving Player to next one. First we need function that will change movements points (old Moving Player points to zero and new Moving Player to maximum). It is example of such function:
Step #3 is to trigger local function DoNextPlr() on all PCs when we want to change Moving Player. I plan to do it by:
a) adding context window with name of current moving player and button "Next Player" that will launch DoNextPlr() --> local player can activate Moving Turn change by pressing "Next Player" button
b) adding to players list update function trigger that will monitor pPlayer:HasReceivedNetTurnComplete() status and launch DoNextPlr() when Moving Player finish his turn on remote PCs --> automatic activation Moving Turn change on remote PC
Step #3a:
Adding contest window is ease. We need xml file e.g NextPlr.xml
and add it to core system file: InGame.xml (first system file that we have to change). Just add such line:
It will add window defined in InGame.xml and include InGame.lue where you can past DoNextPlr() and Events.ActivePlayerTurnStart.Add
Step #3b is ease also. You have to change "if" from line 180 in MPlist.lua (second system file that we have to change)
and this is it.
If you see any logical problem according this procedure pls let me know.
