Red Orchestra - multiplayer exclusive ?

[Sojuz]

Is it possible to completely remove from hard disc files related to singleplayer ? Its about 6gb as I checked, well completely useless 6gb...
Or make it optional.

 

[CptFoley101]

Yeah i would like to know that too

I would like to see that element removed from the game completely. It's useless. Just drop the guise of the 'single player campaign' (come on, what a joke) and have a practice mode that uses existing MP assets. Less disk space, less people buying the game under false impressions, and people can still learn basic gameplay offline (although learning from veteran players was always better than learning from the SP tutorials anyway).

I like it. The step-by-step objectives give me time to order the bots into positions before pushing a major attack against the enemy.

But for those that want to remove it for HDD space, 'spose optional would be the way to go.

Ya get rid of S/P so more new ppl ask us vets during gameplay, what key do I use to prone? how do I zoom? how do you use the radio? how do I give orders? what's the use key? ect..... I don't mind telling noobs how to play the game. The S/P is to learn all functions ect.

They ask anyway, so it won't make any difference. In any case, that's why I said leave practice mode in - or even make a giant red message flash onscreen the first time you ever launch the game that reads, "CHECK YOUR KEYBINDINGS BEFORE YOU PLAY, IT SHOULD BE THE FIRST THING YOU DO WHEN YOU GET A NEW GAME ANYWAY".

when did that stop being the first thing a guy did, before he tried to play a game? how lazy have we become?

 

[ross]

I don't know. Something is wrong with the new generation of PC gamers, man

 

[ro_sauce]

the singleplayer campaign takes up 6 gb? are you sure?

I already can see the question "where do I check my keys?" popping up

If the game still working after removing the SP files, I think the way to delete them is:

Game properties in steam: DISABLE AUTO UPDATE
Stop steam
Delete the SP files
Launch Steam and Game

this way it will not redownload files when you launch steam.

But the problem is when there is an update to the game, you will have to download the SP again, and the do it again from step one.


If you don't care of downloading giga of file if it makes problems (i didn't test), try it and let us know but I think it may work (but of course, SP will crash the game).

Why not make instead of the singleplayer campaign multiplayer tutorial maps with the training courses from the campaign that way you'll make use of the singleplayer maps.

WHAT!?

Singleplayer Multiplayer Campaing Tutorial Maps!? Which is it?

EDIT: Still failing to understand, I almost think I did, but I am unsure, express your self better please

EDIT 2: So? Instead of SP campaign, MP maps... so we can make use of those, simple SP maps? So people learn to play the game? Why ?

 

[Cwivey]

No point in making the SP training maps available to MP, I highly doubt anyone would use it. They join MP to blast other players, not shoot targets.

A little punctuation would really help with his posts though.

You can delete without any consequences folder "SinglePlayer". Remember to disable auto update for HoS. I created backup for myself, now that useless SP is only about 0,8 gb instead of 4 gb
Also be careful with movies, its not recommended to delete some files from folder "Movies".

 

[ro_sauce]

change bForceNoMovies=true in roengine.ini to turn off the movies.

[...] [M]ake a giant red message flash onscreen the first time you ever launch the game that reads, "CHECK YOUR KEYBINDINGS BEFORE YOU PLAY, IT SHOULD BE THE FIRST THING YOU DO WHEN YOU GET A NEW GAME ANYWAY".

Have the game open up on controls the first time you run it, asking you to map your controls to your liking or check what the defaults are, with no option to cancel it unless you scroll down and a certain time period has elapsed. BAM, take that

 

[Fallschirmhans]

I actually like SP. The AI is crap, but it helps you prepare for MP. If there was no SP the the beginners would be absolutely ****.

Just find a bot server - you won't have trouble, there are tons of them.
