Ok from what Ive heard and experimented with I know that FPSC can build arena deathmatch games but can it make a multiplayer cooperative game? I was wandering if this could be designed from inbuilt features such as spawning the players and the a.i. controlled enemies at the same time while running the triggers and events to build a story. I only have the demo version of fpsc currently but I am getting the full version soon so I may not be aware of all the features in the retail version of the program.

Well I don't know cause that's the kind of games I was aiming to create buty i was wondering if it was still possible to make coop games by using darkbasic pro to edit the source code and make a special version with coop. I assume it wouldn't be to difficult to add coop support just use the deathmatch settings for network but enable scripting and entities I'm just wondering why it wasn't included in the released version of FPSC when it would add a whole new dimension of gameplay, possibly because of lag issues I assume.

sorry to break the news but unless your a Darkbasic Pro, Pro you might want to get a head start on some simple programming before you try diving into a 30000+ line program you didn't write, I have seen the source code and closed it minutes after lol. Even death match is buggy as hell attempting what you are saying would be a nightmare as you would probably have to fix death match first

Thanks

I looked through the multiplayer code and I have trouble following it, even though I've created very complex things in DBP. I can't imagine even Lee working with it, I sure hope he has multiple source files rather than one - and I'd wish he'd release them that way.

Anyways, entities, trigger zones ect. would have to be managed by the host and sent to all players, so it isn't that easy.

The closest you can do, is make the players all look alike on one team, and the same on the other. Hopefully they wont kill their own team.

Especially since they still get points for that.

Thats kind of a bummer to me. I was hoping to be able to make a level where players had to overcome puzzles and stuff to get to the goal. after realizing i had no idea what i was doing i gived up >_>.

I wish there was a little more creative power in making multiplayer maps. But oh well.
