As it is quiet in the week I am making more mission scripts for our next set of online games.
This is an intercept by Axis planes flying from the Shokaku, with allied planes flying from the USS Long Island:

Last night I received a question about the possibility of using these scripts in single missions.
You cannot, but there is nothing to stop you from using them in multiplayer "host only" missions
This is an edited version of my response:

My folder:

Note the "MPData160" folder which has subfolders containing scripts, and the "2021ScriptLoader.exe" which loads the scripts
There are more than 100 scripts available for selection.


Running the loader I have selected a the "Tested Selection" subfolder and selected the script that I made this morning (Shokaku Intercept (Axis) SPAW.txt)

I can select a different plane-set if I want to.
I can click the check box to fly after loading, and click on the "Click here...." label to load the selected script.
When I do the plane-set and theatre are automatically loaded.

When the game opens you need to select "Multiplayer", then "Internet TCP/IP.........." on the protocols screen.
When then the little "Locate session" box appears leave the IP blank and click "OK"
It will take you back to the protocols screen, but the "NEW" button will now be active. Click it, and you will be taken to the parameters screen

The settings from the script have been loaded so first of all your aircraft he need to be selected .
In this case your plane needs to be an Axis fighter, not a Mosquito.
I clicked Airforce (at the top left) until it showed "Axis", and then clicked on the "Aircraft" plane name until "FW 190A-3" appeared.

As it is an intercept he two allied AI planes need to be a bomber and an escort fighter. Another "friendly" plane can be put in as the third AI plane, or it can be set as "Empty".

In the screenie the first enemy AI (Pri: P38-J) has a grey background, so it is active. If I were to click on the "B-24D" then it will be selected and the second enemy AI will now be active for the escort fighter selection.
When the escort fighter has been selected the friendly secondary AI will be active for selection, such as a "BF 109G-2" or "Empty" if none are needed

Lots of other things can be modified at this stage such as time of day, ground/air start, battle size and altitudes. Then the game can be launched wink
