Co-op

[SilentKilla]

How long would it take someone to quickly code co-op? No level changes (even know its necessary), just adding 1 or 2 more players avaliable. I played the early hl2 co-op mod and it was very buggy, couldnt move much, but it worked. If i knew how to code i would do it. Thanks :naughty:

It's not that easy...
I'm working on Coop and i still got 3 major problems:

- no player models, i need some new model with animations working in DM mode (those from HL2DM cannot be used)

- wrong soundscapes, not working properly in DM mode causing sound dropping and sometimes game crash

- I don't know how to make my mod appear in Steam

If someone could help me with on of those three problems, it would go much faster.

why would anyone do a coop mode when sven coop is making one?

For practice... and we don't know when they will release it, they are making a big mod.

 

[SilentKilla]

Yeah, they could take forever.

Why would someone discourage someone trying to contribute to the community?

Why would you think your post makes any sense?

Anyway... i think i got everything i need working EXCEPT for the darn player models, if you find custom player model somewhere (not the Gordon one, it's not working) please let me know. :thumbs:

actually whats wrong with the ones from hl2dm? you sure they cant be used?

 

[Ozzie]

Their animations which you can find in models catalogue override NPC animations in SP maps, so you get combine and citizens without anims...
Also anim files are made for HL2DM, what you can see inside them, i don't know how to change them to work with any mod (mine in this case).

Maybe it's just me because i'm getting lost in this damn source...

I hope you get it working Ozzie. Sounds awesome. Do you have it to where you wouldnt have to load the maps manualy? Or what?

Edit:: keep us updated

 

[RabidJester]

Keep up the good work, mate.


Every game should have co-op.

It seems that HL2DM models can be used in coop properly but i still can't fix the animations...
Someone should open male_anims.mdl and try to change it, at least i think thats the file to fix...
