30 bot COOP on larger maps V_2.0 complete

[codebasher]

please forgive me. just pimping this new coop mod....

VERSION TWO IS OUT

With version one coop being more popular than my wildest expectations, it was only fair to bring the usable maps up to their full potential as well as fix issues and bugs that cropped up in version 1.0. Well as much as can be done anyhow, no thanks to
EA...

This will be the final version as there is no further potential for these beyond this point. Adding more features only made the maps badly unstable.

Major differences to V1
=======================

Added yet another control point and a Blackhawk to Assault_on_karkand.
Added carrier & airfield spawns to Zetar_wastlands & Dalian_plant.
Bots now spawn at carrier and airfields and actually use the aircraft.
Opened up fog somewhat in karkand and stalemate
COOP Dedicated server functionality is available with this mod.
Tweaked maps to stop bots ignoring vehicles and to prevent stupid traffic jams.

Anyhow I've got it hosting on my internode user page.

Nice one :D

[Hollister360]

IM confused is this offline :) or online :(

[codebasher]

* Single: player with bots
* COOP: player host's and others join via IP.
* COOP: dedicated coop server, others join.

all with 30 bots and near 32 player maps.

Basically almost the same as ye olde coop in bf1942 et al. No thanks to EA & DICE.

[shudap]

wow, thanks for the sweet stuff

[imported_xRandoMx]

nifty.

wish the bots knew how to do more than twiddle their thumbs in either slot of a helicopter.

[Johnny Bravo]

i anin't playing it 'till this boycott of BF2 expansion pack is gone!:mad: :mad: :mad:

[TheBladeRoden]

^that's nice

[tikibangout]

Sorry if its been said, but I just downloaded V2, installed it all fine, ran install.bat, then it said run run_bf2.bat, but when I do that, it just shows the command prompt for a split second then disappears. Do I have to have V1 already installed or something?

[codebasher]

nope your the first.

V1 is not required.

look at the install.bat and you'll see the files V2 is trying to copy from BF2. you may wish to check the source and target directories to see if any didn't make it across.

I'll pm you the list of files.

[Carbo007]

once you host a game, do other players need this mod in order to play along???

[Carbo007]

nope your the first.

I seem to be having the same problem. Could you pm me the list too???
Thanks

[Der Fuhrer]

nice 1, Ill give it a go...TA

[Wranger4400]

Really cool.

[SBHC Spike]

Just want to say thanks for your work. It will be nice to have at our small LAN parties, so we can get more than 3 on 3 or 4 on 4.

[codebasher]

i anin't playing it 'till this boycott of BF2 expansion pack is gone!:mad: :mad: :mad:

go to the level's /INFO/ directory and edit loadmap.png with mspaint to change the graphic to anything you'd like.

Hi, we want to play this after hours at work. Tried to get it going last night, but got stuck once we couldn't get to the 'connect to IP' button on the 'Join Internet' menu. The connect to ip button on the 'Join Local' menu doesn't work. We can't join internet cause we're behind a proxy and so can't log in to gamespy. Tried the command line but couldn't get it to work.

Any ideas what we could do?

Chris.

[codebasher]

1) Both peeps start game using BF2_start.bat

2) Get the host to start a local multiplayer LAN game (not single player). Map doesn't matter at this point.

3) Get the other computer to go to join local lan game screen but NOT JOIN the server. At this point the host should be visible on the client machine

4) have the server quit and start a single player map of choice.

5) Once server has spawned, have client then click join and viola, LAN with bots and no internet connection.

[<GFY>-DirtySanchez]

yeah thanks codebasher, I'm aware of that method, but we have players on different subnets, so they don't pick up the local game in the browser. So I guess we're screwed hey.

Chris.

[codebasher]

um... Yup.

[Wranger4400]

Very nice. Keep it up. :D

[Syndicate]

seems pretty sweet mod cant wait to play. This will also be handy when @ lan parties we actually wanted this a week ago when i was at friends house but it wasn't out.

O yeah and moderator can you possibly sticky this? Is there a mod section for totalbf2 at all?

[JIGA]

Nice job, thanks for the expanded single player. Something to do when I'm sick of the online asshats :)

[bam23]

How do we get this working? My friend and I both have this installed correctly but we can't get the bots to join.

[codebasher]

How do we get this working? My friend and I both have this installed correctly but we can't get the bots to join.

1) Start the game using bF2_start.bat

2) log on using on-line accounts

3) Host starts SINGLEPLAYER game

4) once host has spawned, client selects Multiplayer games

5) Client clicks on [connect to IP]

6) Client enters host IP and click on OK.

[NaTaS]

how do i uninstall this some servers wont let me play cause modded content

[codebasher]

delete the \mods\coop_2.0\ directory

[codebasher]

V3 is down to just testing now. I'll give it a good run at a local LAN tomorrow and all going well, out the door sunday night.

This is designed as an adjunct to V2 rather than a replacement.

Change list from V2

* mods done to fresh 1.02 patched files
* 30 bots up to 36 bots per map.
* Stability for me has been very high on these.

Fushe Pass
=======
* MEC vs CHINA
* 6 Control points added from std 16 player map
* some cp's can bombard others, this can be evil ;)
* Fighter & attack choppers feature in this game

Strike_at_karkand
============
* only jeeps, no other armour.
* Blackhawk still features.
* two control points moved
* one control point added
* in short action seems to spread away from just the centre at long last.

Dalian Plant
=========
* MEC invades CHINA
* apart from vehicle/army change, this is essentially same as V2
* spawn take time on chinese & MEC primary bases increased to 60 seconds.

Zatar Wetlands
===========
* MEC & CHINA vs US
* MEC/Chinese air units, ground units and soldiers operate under the Chinese flag.
* AA vehicle added to each northern CP
* Fighter added to US airfield.

Songhua_Stalemate
=============
* A lot of fog removed
* transport helos and attack helo's added
* fixed air bases added to both sides
* this now seems a far better map now.

Sharqi Peninsula
===========
* MEC vs CHINA
* apart from vehicle and soldier changes, map is almost same as V2
* Take times of primary bases increased by ten seconds.
hoping the testing at the lan goes well tomorrow. :)

[Karate hand]

this is a great mod, the maps are open to fly around in

[Dr.Scurveh]
