A few questions

[Zibro]

I noticed in the MPTourney scenario, it's set up to have 40% ocean. How did they do this? I don't see any options in the map editor to change ocean percentages, and there's some other stuff I'd like to change as well.

An unrelated question, however, how do I play custom scenarios in multiplayer? Is it possible?

I don't think there is anything stopping you from generating a map at say 60% water and then add more land to displace the water.

The 40% seems to be hardcoded to the MP setup screen selection. There are actually two places to select the land/ocean ratio (the menu on the MP launch screen and a menu in the editor using MPTournament.biq), but neither one has any affect.

Custom scenarios are loaded by selecting 'scenario' under 'game mode' on the multiplayer setup screen.

A related question: Has anyone noticed any other hardcoded features of Tournament mode that can't be changed in MPTournament.biq?
