Doom3world

Well This is all realy great,it seems more like a hack for a coop then anything else,not to put any one down

.Altho i havnt tryed it yet it sounds like you not realy making any new ents or anything.While this is great for now i think it would be better in the longrun if you made things like Info_coop_player ents and things that would be great for people that desire to make maps for the mod.Also you may want to look into editing a few of the orginal maps,for gameplay purposes.

But other then that this is great work,cant wait for a 8+ hour coop sesions with you guys .

agreed. god that sounds fun

Shouldnt need that, idStr defines operator=='s to compare against either other idStrs, or against char*'s. Theres also a bunch of (I)Cmp methods too.



Making different spawn points is a pretty trivial in comparison to making it actually work.

Over the last few days i'v made some huge advances in my coop mod. Not only have i fixed most of the server crashes, but i'v resolved this invisible entity bug and fixed a problem which i don't even think idsoftware are aware of (lights don't render in some parts of map due to that fl.networksync was not set true). Because of the fixes, i'v decided to release my PLAYABLE build of my upcoming mod Doom 3 Reborn. It's basically going to have what idsoftware didn't put it. Please be advised that this build is a TESTBUILD. That means it will still crash and probbably won't run like you'd want it to. It is however still playable. it's still in it's alpha version.

For Doom 3 Reborn, first thing we are putting in is Cooperative. After we make cooperative, i'm planning to write Deathmatch bots. We are also planning to have a soundtrack for the mod. I will be creating the soundtrack. The Cooperative part of the mod is the most interesting and will most likely be the most popular part of the mod.

These Maps Work for D3 Reborn Cooperative: (i'v only tested a few)

Alpha Labs 1
Alpha Labs 2 (up to the guy with the light, then it crashes)
Hellhole
Hell1
Delta Labs 4
Delta Labs 5 <-- fully playable

These are the only maps i'v tested. I'm sure almost most will work to some level (maybe a few graphic glitches here and there)

I need to find a hoster to upload this test mod.....

Like I said in an earlier post, I can't code but i'd like to support this project. I'm a web developer with web space. I can provide both. PM me and we can get something sorted out.

Cheers, -vn

seems this Doom 3 Reborn Mod will have the 2 features that i want the most out of Doom 3.

1. Co-Op

2. Bots

Good Luck

Well, I can see when I've been beaten. I think that this attempt was completely worth it, though. I learned a GREAT deal from all this, and it garnered me a bit of popularity in the D3 scene.
Best of luck to the Doom 3 Reborn team, I'd like to look at your code some more to provide some constructive criticism, as I think that right now you guys are running UpdateAiScript(). As I recall, that updates the AI on the client side, which potentially could make things go awry.

Early bird catches the worm.

Oh, yeah, and my next step is to make a pretty huge explanation/tutorial on the SDK, so I don't wanna compete with anyone for that .

iten, you should keep working with it, then if no other modders release the code to the pulic (and some are "i wanna feel 1337 basterds).

This is something that should be out there, in source, allowing other modders to either help tweak/fix it, or be incorporated into there mods.

Right now I've asked the team of Last Man Standing. If they say to go with it, then I'll finish it.

That is great news Agent666, and I can't wait until you get that testbuild uploaded somewhere.

Always work together on everything -- share your problems.. You guys and the rest of the community might be able to help with some the of the problems... Agent666 where did you get it uploaded?

make a torrent of it

i'll seed it for a while

Absolutely. PLEASE make this open source. The easier you make it for other mod makers to roll this code into their own, the more we'll love you and help you and name our firstborn children 'iten'.

I can't host your games but I CAN host your mod stuff.
I also want to make a Doom 3 coop mod, thus I'm downloading VC++ 2005 Express. Could you e-mail me ( send me a private message ) to give me what you have already done, in order to let me help you fixing other things.

E-mail dolphineye[*SYMBOL|@|SYMBOL*]free.fr ( sorry I'm doing not to be passive of spams )

PM: send a PM to ***DolphinEye***

Just to clarify any doubts-
I am a part of Last Man Standing, a project which relies heavily on coop. Right now, I'm the only one working on the coop part. Once I get anywhere, I will release the code--that's simply my philosophy. Right now I'm working very heavily on it, and once I make good progress, you guys will be (among) the first to hear about it.

Iten --> I could compile the source code. I'll try to add your new code in mine. Your PDA stuff works fine.
Right now we'll ALL have to find a way to reduce server LAG.

hey guys just wanted to say nice one on making this coop its good that ur putting ur time and effort into it great job

I'm sure a collaboration of all people working on CoOp would do it good.

If you need support from my side (eventually a dedicated CoOp forum) please let me know. If there's enough demand I'll gladly give you an own place.

I'd say the demands already there, a ded co-op forum would be a great way to centralise all the info people find out about it.

Im having a tinker at the moment but not getting very far....

Agent666 where are you dude? Don't leave us hangin'!

He's probably gone away for Xmas ;o)
Personnaly I could compile the game DLL but the game crashed when I ran my mod ( I couldn't even go in the main menu ).
I'll try again by compiling with Release settings.
