I know what you're saying here, Hirko. An example is the "Secret Weapons Facility" map where the venom gun is introduced. There are 3 or 4 of them available, but if some rambo is on your server this type of clown usually grabs them all for himself rendering any venom ammo boxes useless for other players.

The solution for this, as far as I'm concerned, lies with the server Admins. RTCW COOP is a team-based game, the clue is in the name, it's all about co-operation between players. When we encounter a player like this we warn him about his attitude, if he fails to heed the warnings he is then kicked from the server and the particular map is restarted.

To give all players a particular weapon when one player picks that weapon up would be far too much fire-power for the Allied Squad. Also, in RTCW, when you pick up a new weapon for the first time, it automatically becomes your primary weapon, replacing the weapon you were using just before you picked it up. A few of your team could be fighting against the Axis forces while you find a new weapon, you pick it up, they too would pick it up right in the middle of this battle and that would cause havoc for them.

There's a selfish, greedy player on your server who just won't listen? Ban him, restart the map, problem solved.

Happy new year to one and all .

You've lost me here, Fretn. Do you mean animated sigs?

I posted the screenies of the maps mostly affected by bugs which prevent further progress in the map itself, but after reading the post from Sage about our server settings I'd now really like to test this idea and get back to you with the info, Fretn. DOG did not appear at all yesterday, very unlike him, so we still haven't tried this out yet. When he shows up I'll tell him the plan, change our server settings, then we'll go through all the maps and see what happens bug-wise.

As for the "Tram" map I can't agree that it's not suited to RTCW COOP play, bro. The map is bug-free and the main problem when fraggin' on this map are some of the players who seem incapable of understanding what the word, "co-operation" actually means . Once the Allied squad take control of the first section they must defend it against the respawning Axis AI while 2 of the squad board the tram and set off to attack the mid-section tram tower and capture the next spawn flag.

I've lost count of the times that I've seen about 5 idiots all trying to squeeze onto the tram at once, with 2 of them usually getting crushed in the process . Once the two-man team capture the tram tower the rest of the squad /kill to respawn there. The two-man team board the tram again in order to capture the next spawn flag, situated to the left of the tram station, the difference this time is that only one player is actually inside the tram, the other has climbed the tram tower ladder and jumped onto the roof of the tram at the rear, where he is well protected from Axis gunfire, once at the destination he has an easy task of jumping down from the tram and capturing the spawn flag. The respawning members of the squad use their rifles to provide covering fire, thus preventing the defending Axis troops from concentrating their entire gunfire fire on the approaching tram itself.

Once the tram station spawn flag is captured the remaining squad at the tram tower /kill again and after respawning it's simply a "balls-out" frag against the Axis troops until you finally meet up with Kessler in the radio room. Simple tactics, simple co-operation, but to some players it might as well be rocket science, they never seem to get it .

Here's a few screenies of ingame bugs that we've found, Fretn, you'll probably know most of them by now:

Kugelstadt:

This is just after you eliminate the Panzer Grenadier unit and are heading off to save the scientist who's with the extraction team, but that gate won't open, blocking our only route to rescue him.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein:

The very start of the map, we kill the first zombies and then 2 zombie knights should kick that door down and attack us, but they fail to appear.

Chateau Shufstaffel:

All enemies on the ground floor have been eliminated and the spawn flag captured, that door should now open giving us access to assassinate the General and escape, but it doesn't open for us.

Super Soldier:

At this stage we've killed the Uber Soldat Prototypes and their back up, a scientist should now open that door giving us access to fight the main Uber Soldats and Wilhelm Strasse, the scientist fails to appear.

Radar Installation:

This is near the end of the map, we've dynamited the radar and all we have to do now is escape. Two Axis soldiers should now attack us via the door on the right, but they never appear.

Same door, same map, different view:

Rocket Base:

We've fought our way through the tunnels and reached the elevator that takes us to the upper level in order to sabotage the V2 Rocket launch. Two Axis infantry should come down on the elevator to investigate the chaos taking place below them, they never appear and we cannot manually operate the elevator ourselves and so our access is blocked.

Crypt part 2:

We've just captured a new spawn flag and enter that dungeon where about 6 zombies come up from the floor. We kill them and the door should now open to reveal 2 German infantry fighting 2 of the zombie knights, again the door won't open.

Secret Weapons Facility:

Our first encounter with the Lopers, we kill them all and that door should now unlock where we can gain access to the office to kill the Axis guard and lower the bridge so that we can then attack Wilhelm Strasse's submarine, the door does not unlock and the guard never leaves the office so we have to trickjump in order to get the next spawn flag at the submarine.

Crypt or Crypt 2 map? (not sure)

Spawn flag capture area under the floor that collapses when we try to run over it. We kill all the zombies and zombie knights which should open that door for us, but no joy.

There's a couple of other minor bugs, for instance, when one player in the squad picks up a chair we all appear to have one until he decides to drop it and if one player chooses to read any documentation lying on a table then we all read it unless we press our Esc key . I hope this info helps you out, Fretn, you're doing a great job and we're all looking forward to the RTCW COOP 0.9.4 release .

Well at least that's one reason for this happening scored off the list, bro . This problem and the problem with certain areas of a few maps being inaccessible to us, preventing us from completing these maps, seem to be the main things to focus on. What I've noticed, while fraggin' on these particular maps, is that our way is blocked either because the Axis AI fail to do what they would normally do in the RTCW single-player, i.e., open certain doors, or when we have completed certain objectives, which would normally result in previously locked doors being opened, the doors remain locked.

If you fix these problems, Fretn, then the fraggin' experience in RTCW COOP will be practically problem-free. The excellent solution you came up with for the "Escape 2" map, making the castle gates dynamitable, really helped here. I'm looking forward to this feature being available in RTCWCOOP 0.9.4 .

Here's a screenie of the Black Guard parachute mayhem :

And here's Mr Unkillable Zombie :

If you don't shoot him he behaves himself, for a while, then you can slip past him .

This is a recent event that we've seen happening a few times now. When we first played that map, a couple of weeks ago, it ran the way it should.

It's always good to advertise, RMK .

Thanks for the info, guys, I'm sure that our DOG is testing this out as we speak .
