Is there a way to automatically make mpstart select host or join? When you use mpstart if you press the a button it selects host mode. When you press the b button it selects join mode.

There is no way to do that, according to the documentation. For what little that's worth. What kind of scenario are you thinking of, that you might want this feature?

I would imagine the use case is to have Join and Host as options on the main menu. This is probably disabled because you could force someone to join your malicious multiplayer session.

Right now the options are no and yes when you run mpstart. I would rather have it say Join or Host. I really like the idea of having multiplayer in my game. the other option is to load a picture on the top screen that has join and host on it with arrows pointing down to the buttons, or try to get players to ignore the bottom screen all together by putting a a graphic on the top screen that has (A)Host (B)Join. I really don't like the interface i think it looks ugly. But that is my opinion, i will use it if i have to. I just want an object in my game that lets people travel to other worlds. Open the portal to let someone in. Open the portal to travel to someones world. I just like the idea of a Join Button and Host button, instead of a No and Yes button. Oh I am making a Zelda style game where you can create your own world and craft weapons to defeat nasty monsters that inhabit these worlds.

You know there's an edit button, right? Besides, that game sounds fun. Just saying.
walorskia#6
Is that the edit button you were talking about?
joelable#7
Yep. Now there won't be a billion posts in succession by one person, which is usually neater.
