How to use Commshare?

I would like to play a match where all players on a team can control all of the units of that team. I believe this feature is called Commsharing, and I was trying to get it to work in Chobby. Commsharing is in the game lobby settings, with 3 options:

• Merge All
• Invite Only (default)
• Off

I changed the setting from Invite Only to Merge All and started the game with another player on my team. However, when the match started, I could not control his comm, and he could not control mine. How can I set up a match where all members of a team can control all the units on that team?

This feature will be very useful to get my friends into the game. I can demonstrate how the game is played, what structures and units to build, etc. while he can mess around with the army. In one game, I can focus on economy while he micros the units, and in another game, he can build up the economy without worrying about harrassment. It is a nice way to ease someone into an otherwise stressful RTS game.

Good to hear that it will be worked on. Is it an issue with Chobby? Or and issue with Zero-K? If it's the former, I could try using the older lobby for the time being.

It's an issue with the feature itself. The implementation isn't complete so I disabled the gadget.

I tried to run it and had this trivial error https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/issues/1592

I didn't fix it because sharemode turns out to have this non-trivial oversight https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/issues/1590

From what it sounds like, the commsharing feature is more or less working now, and the GUI is currently being worked on for it. In the mean time, could commsharing be re-enabled so that the lobby option works again?
