This mod allows players to share the same units in games of Supreme Commander. It works, but it isn't well polished.



The forum thread has information on installing and using the mod.



The ATMP* files in the FTP directory contain some experiments I did with a multiplayer scenario. It worked, to an extent, under vanilla Supreme Commander. It may still work, I don't know.



I don't have any written notes and I made this a long time ago. What I do remember is that playing the video messages was desyncing the game. No idea if that was ever fixed by GPG but the workaround is to simply send mission objectives another way (I used plain text).



The theory and testing shows that coop missions are certainly possible and should work fine from the MP lobby or GPGNet. 



The only other issue is to make sure you rename the map if you're modifying the official campaigns to MP coop. The reason is that maps starting with SCCA are ignored by the MP lobby.



'Strategic Whiteboard' in the FTP directory is a mod made by a GPG developer. It lets team players draw on the map. It isn't very good and has major slowdown issues but it may be useful nonetheless.
