My brother and I have C&C the First Decade. I would like to play a LAN game with him, which isn't a problem. The problem is that we would like to fight together against some bots. I have downloaded some bot maps, but the game won't allow us to be on the same team.

I've searched these forums for the answer, but have found nothing. Is what we are trying to achieve even remotely possible?

No.

Don't be an ass.

It is completely possible, in fact as of my next script release there well be a specific script to do just that. But until then I can send you a modified version of skirmish that will allow you to be on the same team. Although you won't be able to choose which team you are on.

Install Renegade Resurrection (see signature).
Setting 'emptyTeamBehaviour' in resurrection/server.cfg to 'ignore' allows one team to be empty without ending the game.
But it's still not very funny since Renegade's bots are really dumb.

Free Dedicated Server, you can dwnload it on FTP.Westwood.com you need to Change some Settings in the server.ini.

Search in Server.ini for:

Quote:

; GameType =
;
; Set this to WOL for a Westwood Online dedicated server.
; Set this to GameSpy for a GameSpy mode dedicated server.
; Set this to LAN for a LAN mode dedicated server.
;

GameType = WOL


Change "WOL" to "LAN"

Make a new textfile and rename it to this: cnc_c130drop.txt -then copy+paste this code.

Copy the textfile into your DATA dir if are the Host. Start Renegade, log on WOL and host a game with at least 2 open slots. Choose C&C_Islands as your preferred map because the code is optimized for it.

Play against your friend on each side as usual. There will be some Lava Balls flying around, constantly dropping Infantry at both bases. You can fight against bots AND your friend now! And if this isn't good enough, the bots will kill each other too.

If you have more friends to join, I can give you another code which makes things even funnier on every map.

I'll be sure to try that. Laughing (EDIT: meaning the lava-balls-that-spawn-bots thing)

I am such an idiot! Here I am, wondering why the game and the server won't run at the same time. Embarassed

Fortunately I may have a third computer available, but in the event that it isn't, is there a way to do this without the FDS?

replace your server.dat with this one: http://www.blackintel.org/files/blackintel.server.dat.zip
and you will be able to run the server and play it on the same computer.

I am making the AI go after the beacons the play puts down, that always annoyed me how you could put one in the obelisk and no one would ever come to remove it.

The only change this modified server.dat makes is that you can start the client after the FDS. Running Client & FDS simultanously on the same machine has been possible for ages.

Start Ren and log on WOL, minimze it and start the Server then.

Yes I know that but if you actually go to the BI site that server.dat actually contains some other things >

http://www.blackintel.org/?page=projects/downloads

Quote:

* Core Patch 2 server.dat
* The UDP short message fix
* The start button fix (the one listed above)
* A simple change to allow renegade to start when the server is running without the use of the +multi flag
* RunOnce suppression, disabling the RunOnce registry key so the server does not auto restart when joining before the windows shell loads
* A new UDP fix which will make the server survive UDP floods without much problems
* Removed the "MapName=" setting from the server config.

That would be harder to do, as I would have to make invisible objects at all the MCT so the engineers would try to repair them... or would I? Sudden thought, much test.

Ack, guess you will have to wait until after I release my scripts, I need to make some to make this work I want it to.

Like sniper on occasion go up and camp on the hill and things like that.


ACTUALLY, how about you guys list things that you think the AI should do, and I will do the best I can to impliment them.
