Coop

[Ashrak]

Has anyone played any of the SP custom maps on coop?

[Thaur]

how would you do that?

[SGT.Ron RimShot]

Yes I've played a few of them Coop...

It seems that the only ones that allow for coop are the Custom SP maps that have Dominic in them. When one of the buddies joins me in coop in the SP Custom maps they gain direct control over Dominic. If the map does not have Dominic in it but has Baird, Cole, Kim or any other character then they are forced into spectate only. (The only custom map that I could not getting working in coop with Dominic in it was the City of War map). There may be more reasons as to why only Dominic is able to give control to a coop player but I don't know enough about the editor to say much else.

Would be nice to see more custom maps with Dominic in them

[Ashrak]

How did you do it? Did you host a coop game and then load the map up once someone connected or what?

Which maps worked best for you?

[SGT.Ron RimShot]

all of the Far maps with Dominic in it worked fine... Although the no checkpoint was a pain when we both died. And i Think we also tried BloodRaven14's Endurance map which also seemed to work fine. I played them all on the 1st releases of each map so if anything changed in ether the patch or the maps I wouldn't know since I haven't really played gow coop since then.

Oops... almost forgot... All I did was host the map through the mp menu's and it worked fine... On thing that I remember was odd though was I loaded up LocustPark and when my buddie connected it played out as a MP Match with bots which was a supprise.

Yes please tell us how you did it. I hope you don't need a gold account.

Coop doesnt work on City of War. Why anybody said this to me?

I will release the final version of the map in that way. Just marcus and dominic

All I did was

Host:

1.) Versus

2.) Live List Play Match

3.) Selected Map (choose the custom map here)

4.) Then press Enter (accept Button)


Join Host:

1.) Versus

2.) Live List Play Match

3.) Join A Match

4.) Join the server with the Custom SP map running


I have not played any maps coop in the new patch as all my buddies have gave up on GOW MP because of the Sniper Rifle...

I think the reason it did not work for me was the intro part (Which is nice btw ) or because the person I tried to play City of War: Raven Search with did not setup the MyPackage.upk file properly. I am not really sure why we couldn't play it coop like the others.

In the SP_Endurence map by BloodRaven14, All cog's are in that map and is playable in coop.

BTW, Thanks for your work on the Custom maps I appreciate it.

[theinterlock]

Thank u. Becouse of that I remove the intro. Thank u. I will change the scrip to do this map coop.

I tried that months ago with my friend but it is screwed up. One player goes on locust and one goes on cog. What game type do you host it as? Previously in addition to putting us on different teams, there was also a time limit and other things were screwed up

maybe i need to un-check bMultiplayer map?

[[Wolf]Maverick]

Very Cool, now i will play all Custom SP Maps in Coop the next days.
Maybe someone could make a list which SP Customs Maps are working in Coop Mode.

Whoah, i might need to redo some stuff now about all this talk. In my endurence level SPOILERS::::::::::::::STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!






in case ya didnt know dom is set to die so i might need to change something.......

[Ashrak]

Thanx for the info.

I once found a game being hosted that said "custom" on it. Curious I joined it. It was one of Far's maps. It said "click mouse 1 to join" as normal in coop but I beat on my mouse several times and was not able to join. I don't remember who it was who was hosting it.

I was actualy thinking of your map BloodRaven, when I started this thread because it would make for some good coop fun.

I would love to someday see a full gears custom campaign on the pc playable on coop. That would kick arse.

Yeah you do, bMultiplayer means adversarial Multiplayer not Coop

[Pappi_man]

Hay all! How 'bout you mappers create Official Multiplayer maps as co-op skirmish? That would be awesome right?

This keeps on coming up, I think we should go ahead and do it. The trouble really seems to be just getting people to sign up permanently and coordinating it. I'm not really sure how well it would work without streaming, but I suppose we could just break things up more into separate levels. Is there a way to get the game to play levels in succession without having to force the player to load them manually?

what do you mean? Do you mean the final version multiplayer maps with bots on them or put bots on epics MPs like a terrorist hunt on Rainbow six vegas?

Ooo.. Nice Idea, Glad I thought of it

A Terrorist Hunt type wouldn't be so bad but then agian that would just be an endurance type map without the timed enemy waves.

Where do you have to put the custom maps (C:\ etc) in order for the custom map to appear in the multiplayer map options when your selecting a map to host online?

[BlackRaven]

yeah i wanna know that too
