is it posssible for co-op map?

hi all, wondering whether it'd be possible to make an sp map for two players.
same side, get separate guns, separate health, etc. two completely separate entities but with sp ai and a 2 player lan or something. two 'player's working together.

any ideas would be welcome!

That'd be great if this could work, as I love a game with a good co-op mode...

Sadly a lot of companies don't put co-op at the top of their priority list, and it doesn't turn that great.

Example, Rising Sun, there are a lot of things that could have been better with more effort.

YES! Rising Sun was either on a horrible deadline or just really naturally sucked. i hope MOHPA will be much better.

my thought was to try and spawn allied_start thingies and make it a sort of mp map, but only have two spawns and only 2 players. then vs the whole map.
it'd work best as lan, too high pings could kill the gameplay.
o well, maybe MOHPA.....

I think it's not possible, otherwise it will not called "single" player...

But you can make a OBJ map in the same way u make a single player map.

well,doogesgoober i think managed to rip out one of the sp missions and make it multiplayer .but it would stop at the 1st objective only (prolly a scripting matter) .so maybe u should ask him about it.
or u can make it like an obj map with bots on one side (whats the difference)

i think a search would have solved that ,but now that u asked id rather wait for the answer

well the difference between bots and stock AI is that stock AI does what they're told, exaclty what i want. bots hunt down their 'prey' and play like players. i want an 'sp' map for two players. just like set up a server or somethin and get a bud to team up with you and go play through an 'sp' mission.

Say you might also be able to create a new MP mode, top and minimum number of players, 2.

I should try that team assault thingy...

Ehm, reading through the news section of that site, those guys are in desperate need of scripters/mappers. So if anyone's interested in the project you know what to do

If it helps, there's a Pk3 on nemesis tut page that allows AI to work in multiplayer, so if you use that, make a map, add AI and then set up a 2 player server then hey presto! and also it is more real, only being alowed 1 gun at a time!
