== Creating A Multiplayer Campaign ==
{{TOC|side}}
Below is the list of vegetation in Arma: Reforger, sorted by where they grow. Use this to help you with your terrain creation.


A multiplayer campaign is a series of interconnected missions that follow a sequential order, creating a storyline that groups of players can enjoy together.

Key things that a multiplayer campaign will include:
 
*Interconnected sequential missions
*Centralized location of common mission files to save on storage space
*Utilizes {{Link|createMPCampaignDisplay|MPCampaignDisplay}}
*Missions can be selected in the hosted server mission selection menu

If new to creating missions, it is advised that you ignore concerns about disk space and make each mission independent of the campaign mod. When you get more comfortable with how the file structure works, and have more confidence in your code, you can then move on to centralizing common files. Debugging missions within the mod structure is much more annoying, especially if your code is more prone to bugs/errors.
 


Be sure you structure your missions with multiplayer {{Link|Multiplayer_Scripting#Locality|locality}} in mind from the start. It is much more time-consuming to convert a single-player mission into a multiplayer mission.

The campaign description file will dictate how the missions are structured within the campaign menus. Unlike a single-player campaign, we are going to be ignoring the mission flow aspect of the campaign description file so that the multiplayer campaign menu functions correctly.
