Yeah- I've played this for about 40 minutes today... and I have to say the AI in this one for coop is the best.. It's sven like!
They do a one death for each player. And the difficulty is high - so you need to play with some good players or you WILL get pwned...

Anyone up for a game? I'm usually running a 3man server...

http://mods.moddb.com/8371/half-life-2-cooperative-follow-freeman-/
 
76.188.195.21:60282 password will be hl2.net Ill make 3 players - if more people want to come then sure....


Im US btw so... sorry UK'ers but high ping = you
 
ugh I think more people would want to play if this wasnt confined to a forum section that noone goes into..
anyways I should be running another one tonight again - same info
 
ill be on xfire tonight wehn i start up the server...
 
Damn, its that good. Got to try it out.
 
I just played all of canals with a 16 player server.... no lag at all... Ai worked flawless... no problems encountered. (except for the occasional spawns where you get stuck in someone) Even though the game says it should be a max of 6 players.. it works great with 16...

Airboats work great! No laggy vehicles or anything. I am very impressed
 
Depending on who beats the level first = points..

i.e.

1st place 50 points
2nd place 30 points
3rd place is 20 points

something like that...
 
k, Im starting up a server if anyone wants to come

4players password hl2.net and IP = 76.188.195.21
or look for the halflife2.net server name in the browser!


if there is a password it will be hl2.net


heh apparently a dev team member showed up :D he thanked us for our support of their mod...
 
heh - I'll make one in an hour or so.. if you care to join :D
 
Eastern US GMT-5

Server is up currently Look for it in list - password its hl2.net

name of server is hl2.net

Ip:76.188.195.21


The Server is U.S. East Coast hosted so, sorry for the the others o0...

Great pics t-bone...

great mod too..

Yeah! I love how the airboats work so there will be one for each player and it deletes any that are not needed... Very awesome.. I can't wait for the next release and hopefully you guys will get it out before christmas...


BTW: Server's down for now... going to go take a break. It'll be up later tonight for anyone that wants to play
 
I've only had the opportunity to play on a 200+ ping server, but apart from the horrendous lag and server crashes it seemed to work great. I would want to play on a server with decent ping though, pretty much every server is locked except the one I played in.
 
Is it difficult though? Singleplayer was easy, so Coop would be just rushing to get the next kill until the end of the map, right?
 
It's actually quite difficult. I played with eraser and another random person and we lost 3 times in a row on a canals map... It was extremely hard
 
It's pretty challenging, yep. You can't just rush the enemies or you'll get a cap in your ass. So far I've only played the canal maps, so yeah. Entanglement is going to be hard.
 
So im trying to make a listen server so me and a friend can play but there isnt a option....

Im guessing i have to make a dedicated server, but then how will i play?
 
guys, there are bugs in the current version of the mod and they are being addressed by the dev team and thanks for all your support, it means alot.

now because you need to set-up a dedicated server there are not that many at the moment and its only been 36 hours since the release..........

a dedicated server is used because its upto 10x faster then a lan server.

a new patch is coming and i'll give instructions on how to start your own dedicated server while playing on it below:

First you need to have the Source Dedicated Server for this to work.

1) in STEAM go to the tools tab in games and make sure you have the Source Dedicated Server, if you don't, double click on it and steam will install it

2) download the HL2coop_Server_Setup.exe from fileplanet
link: http://www.fileplanet.com/171986/17...low-Freeman-Co-Op-Server-Setup-[Windows-Only]

3) install and follow the instructions up to where it asks you where you want it to be installed.

4) make sure the path is some like Steam\SteamApps\username\source dedicated server\HL2coop

5) restart steam if its still running

6) in STEAM again goto games, your tool tab and double click on Source Dedicated Server

7) on the first tab change it to HL2:Coop "follow freeman" and make sure its on INTERNET for network, then set-up the rest to your fancy

8) start the server and watch it fill up :naughty:

Elimination mode is ON (means if you die your out and have to spectate)
so type in "cl_elimination_mode 0" to turn it off (noticed people talking about that one)

oh and to join the server, go to you LAN tab in servers and you should see your server.

if you want to know more about the mod, goto http://mercilessdevelopment.com/ , it have more info on the game modes and new server commands being used.
 
Thanks for the info. Im going to wait untill it gets a little more stable. Its a great mod, just crashes way to much.
 
really? I havn't crashed once o0

Listen servers -- all you do is go to your console
type "Hostname NAME OF SERVER HERE"

Then maxplayers X
then map ff_readyroom
BAM a listen server... that easy..


and Btw t_bone - dedicated server does not work for me- I installed the server exe but It wont show up in dedicated servers source..

only allows me to make Dod:s cs:s and hl2:deathmatch servers... I installed the exe to the right path and everything....
 
I sometimes hate being in Australia. All the games steam found had pings >200 ;(.
 
SERVER UP: 4player co-op with a 'hl2.net' as password look for halflife2.net server name in browser or

76.188.195.21
 
I would join but your ping is 300 :(.

Edit:
Damn all of a sudden I can't get into the game at all. It was working before - now it just crashes to desktop when I try to load it. Reinstalling didn't help.
 
hey, theres a patch test server being setup from the UK if anyone is interested.

and Pauly have a look at the how-to for setting up dedicated server, i've found that it runs smoother when you play using one.
 
okay halflife2.net dedicated server is up..

Currently unpassworded - but if you guys want a password just say it in the chat- ill be remotely monitoring the status on my computer as the admin...
 
Server crashed? Anyway you should password it, a lot of random people in there.
 
man I wish there was good working servers for this with as little lag as possible.
