Loading a .mis file?

#1 Have a look at the starter.fps source, specifically the game.cs file. It does mission loading during the map cycle event.

#2 Thanks, but is there anything more 'solid' I could look into, a tutorial or in the manual or something (so far I've had no luck).
Thanks,
Jaems

#3 No tutorial but if you look at common/server/missionLoad.cs (specifically loadMission()) you will see all of the steps necessary to actually load a mission.

If you are using the common scripts the easiest thing to do is to use the function createServer() which is found in common/server/server.cs. This is the actual function used to load missions by most Torque games. It takes two parameters: server type (MultiPlayer or SinglePlayer) and the mission file to load. For example:

createServer("Multiplayer", "starter.fps/data/missions/stronghold.cs");

However, this is only going to load the mission. It will not actually connect the client you are on to the mission. For that you need to create a GameConnection and then connect that to a server with a loaded mission. If you look in demo/client/scripts/startMissionGui.cs you will find this excellent example:

function StartMissionGui::startServer(%this)
{
   createServer("MultiPlayer", "demo/data/missions/"@$Client::GameType@".mis");
   %conn = new GameConnection(ServerConnection);
   RootGroup.add(ServerConnection);
   %conn.setConnectArgs($pref::Player::Name);
   %conn.setJoinPassword($Client::Password);
   %conn.connectLocal();
}

#4 Thanks, that's quite helpful :)
Thanks again,
