MultiplayerOnly field is used to specify if a map is of type Multiplayer (1 or higher) or Singleplayer (0) map. Game reads this value but does not use this field to enforce the map type, so a correct value is not needed for a map to function as SP/MP map.

Final Alert 2 / FinalSun map editors use this field to show/hide multiplayer specific values like <Player @ A> in its dropdown.

-The above added by Testid123 is entirely a theory. Tests by G-E, Rampastring, and others have shown it has no effect on RA2/YR loading a multiplayer game, nor is it required for a map to function as multiplayer.
-In fact, the FinalAlert2 map editor always writes the value as 1 when saving a multiplayer map.
