I moved the rtcwcoop.com domain to a new cheaper registrar.. cheap doesn't always mean quality .. and it proved, as soon as the domain was transfered I could not reach the dns settings, so everything rtcwcoop related went offline, it then took quite some time for them to fix the mistake, but now everything should work again

I have just added a cvar to the current git version which allows you to disable this, but at this moment I can't create a windows built, so this doesn't help you
about the crash, what's the last thing the logfile shows you ?
I'll try the whole thing again and show you the log file, but for the time being if you tell me that eventually you will release an official version of COOP that allows me to directly edit the firing accuracy, then I'm perfectly fine with just waiting until you release it
If you're not releasing it anytime soon (like it'll take you months for example) then I guess I'll go back to trying to compile it myself
there's a big chance it takes months before I release a new version, I don't have enough time currently to properly test everything, etc

Through the GUI doesn't work, command line works.
so how does your config file look and which command line options did you use to start the server ?

I did try changing those from 0.6 to like 0.01 but the soldiers remained super accurate with their shots
Now that I think about it, what even is the point of those values being there if the game will always overwrite them anyway?
did you pack your changes into a pk3 file ? if not, did you run an unpure server ?

Re: Is it possible to change AI firing accuracy in the new version? (19 replies, posted in RTCW Coop)
it's possible by editing the ai files, they are located in sp_pak_coop1.pk3 in the folder maps/
each map has its own file, example: escape1.coop.ai in that file search for aim_accuracy, you'll have to change it for each AI and then save the file and create a new pk3 file

Re: coop with the classes from multiplayer (9 replies, posted in RTCW Coop)
So for those who are interested in beta testing the gameplay, you can download a windows version here: http://www.rtcwcoop.com/beta/rtcwcoop_c … _win64.zip
If you need a linux or mac build let me know
I'm running a beta server on the domain fretn.be (normally it should be visible through the server browser, else just run /connect fretn.be in the console)
There are tons of things that need to be tested, there are probably a lot of bugs.
The first 4 maps require an engineer to be able to finish them, all other maps not (yet).
- soldiers can pickup all weapons and also use all weapons, but they need an LT for ammo
- only medic can pickup health items, but they can give med packs
- only LT's can pickup ammo, but they can give ammo packs
- only engineer can pickup and use a dynamite
Compass shows the location of the spawn flags, and engineers also see the location of the places that needs to be dynamited and they also see the location of the dynamite
The weapon cycle is the same as in multiplayer. LT has smoke grenade for airstrikes and binocs for artillery.

Also, are there any news on mod updates?
mod updates: see my other post

This sounds amazing, although I have a few objections.
1. Everyone should be able to pick up ammo, but the amount would be very small. Of course, the Lieutenant's ammo bags would give more ammo. It's not realistic, but it wouldn't make the Lieutenant a must-have.
2. Same goes for medkits and the Medic.To be honest, these problems of mine are personal, since I only have one friend to play co-op with.
if you only play with 2 people than this gametype is not useful.
Don't worry its optional, rtcwcoop stays as you know it, the class based gameplay will be a new feature that you'll have to enable

I will use this topic to post some information about my progress.
Currently the following things are implemented:
- new gametype: classes (this forces the usage of flagpoles as spawnpoints)
- the four known classes: soldier, medic, engineer, lieutenant
* soldier is the only class that can use all the weapons, soldier can pick up all weapons but they don't have ammo, you need an LT for the ammopacks
* engineer is the only one that can pickup dynamites, there are no pliers yet (I'm thinking if I will implement this feature or not)
* medic can pickup medkits these boosts the medic chargetime, nobody else can pickup medkits, but they can pickup medpacks thrown by a medic, medic has a syringe and can revive you when you are wounded (like in multiplayer)
* LT can pickup ammo, this boosts his chargetime, nobody else can pickup ammo. Everybody can pickup ammopacks thrown by an LT (like in multiplayer), smoke grenade + airstrike works, binoculars + artillery works too.
* more medics means more health for everyone (like in multiplayer) and medics regenerate their health- compass now shows objectives and spawnflags, and the engineer also can see where (s)he can find dynamite
- teamoverlay shows the class of your teammates like in MP, instead of the type of gun they have
- there is no limbo menu like in multiplayer but the ingame quickmenu (the menu that shows up when you press escape), has four buttons to switch class
- dynamites respawn (not the ones that you plant, but the ones that you have to pickup as an engineer), other items (ammo, weapons, healthpacks) don't
- weapon cycle is the same like in multiplayer (this only valid for the classes gametype)
- escape1 and tram have been modified a bit (by hardcoding some hacks in the code) which make you need an engineer + dynamite to advance
* in escape1 the floor that needs to be shot can now only be destroyed by a dynamite
* the second flagpole is moved to a secret area in escape1
* in tram the hatch that needs to be shot to enter the tunnel can now only be destroyed by a dynamiteThings I still want to do before I push my code to the public repository and beta(alpha) testing can begin:
- modify more maps to add a need for an engineer
- probably add pliers so the dynamite has to be armed, but this means that the AI has to be updated so it can disarm it again
- figure out a way to have some buttons that are needed to start some game mechanics (eg: the lever to start the trams) damaged by default and they can only be fixed by an engineer his/her pliers, like the mg42 in multiplayer that can be damaged
- AI should try to shoot wounded players so they cannot be revived againand probably more
is go take Like 1 Year fretn finish all
this very big future Update
actually it didn't take me a long time to implement the list of feature I mentioned above
I plan to push my changes to the public repository soon

Is it possible to implement medic, field ops etc. in coop just like enemy territory?
And reduce health packs and ammo packs in the game.
So we must rely on each other more than before.
The last few weeks I've been working on this feature as a separate gametype.
It might take some months before it's fully finished, but currently you can play as medic, engineer, soldier and LT.
A soldier can use all weapons, while medic, lt and engineer only the weapons from Multiplayer, they can't pickup the other weapons.
A medic can already revive and a medic is the only person who can pickup medpacks (and meals etc), this will boost his charge time so he/she can drop medpacks sooner.
The same will be implemented for ammo and the LT, but I'm not there yet.
An engineer will be the only one that will be able to use a dynamite

Hey,
2 days ago I realized that 10 years ago I was working on the initial code that made it possible to play the single player campaign with multiple players, so I decided to give the website a small (visual) update and made sure it renders well on smartphones and it even supports dark mode now.
Content wise the website is still the same, so don't expect a lot of it
If I have time and I'm motivated I might write some how to pages so new people can quickly figure out how to run rtcwcoop.
