Archived from groups: alt.games.doom Hey all, I have two pc's on a generic Cable/Router/Lan setup. I have a copy of D3 loaded on both with updates. It is the same copy of D3 installed on each of the pc's. I wanted to know if it is possible to play a co-op game. IOW, instead of just me going through the game, there would be 2 of us. Can this be done? Or possibly just a deathmatch type game.
I can understand that given I have only the one copy that I might not be able to. But If I had two seperate copies? I see ads online advertising the expansion pack and read they will have CTF. Im not sure of its release date but do like the fact that it seems to lean more towards multiplaying. Thats the part Im most interested in, not single player.
What are the possibities? Thanks group, SL.

Assuming the Co-op mod you are using supports LAN games, it should work like a dream. Just boot up D3Reborn or your favorite Co-op mod and host the server, then join and have your friend join (D3Reborn has to have a dedicated server.) Deathmatch works perfectly.
Although the LANs I attend hold no competition, given that nobody really has the game and just plays off of my copy =) I see ads online advertising the expansion pack and read they will have CTF. Im not sure of its release date but do like the fact that it seems to lean more towards multiplaying.
Thats the part Im most interested in, not single player. What are the possibities? Thanks groupSL I know exactly when it's going to be released. 'When it's done' I don't think it's leaning towards multiplayer at all. The single player missions in the expansion pack will stack up to roughly half the length of the original game. CTF sounds like a lot of fun.
Wonder what the original maps are going to play like if they will support 8 players. New 8-player support (read: properly coded and optomized 8-player support.) will be a relief. Possibilities are endless as is. With the Doom3 SDK out, you can do whatever the hell you want with Doom3 Multiplayer (read: CrateDM) - Noob - 'do you hack?' Justin - 'i hack like a maniac!' Noob - 'do you have digital cable?'
Justin - 'i have.ALL. the cables!' Archived from groups: alt.games.doom Thanks Snoop, Your post was quite informative. I do understand the 'my copy' part. I have made 3 'my copies' as well. It did take a lot of coasters first I do intend to play with two seperate copies for the lan though. The price has fallen to a decent purchase price enough to justify a lan game.

Anyways, I do not have experience with 'any' mods to D3. I have not tweaked really any sort of game since Quake 3 or C&C Zero Hour. And those were quite easy and straightforward.
What links might you have to let me try the D3Reborn? Im sure I could google, but any help is appreciated.
Just add my usual 15% to the tip thanks again, sl 'SnoopJeDi' wrote in message news:[email protected].

Im sure I could google, but any help is appreciated. Just add my usual 15% to the tip thanks againsl I get most of my Doom3 News from I also have bookmarked just in case the D3files crew misses something (unlikely, everybody hates planetdoom because of fileplanet. D3files = free DLs without signing up) Here is the link to the latest alpha (.3) of Doom3Reborn: Note that this is a pretty unstable mod and the bugs are still being banged out. I tried to run a game over the LAN, and I could successfully connect, but couldn't actually join and play (it was a bit tweaky) If you don't know how to install the mod, it's pretty straightforward. Just create a folder inside your Doom3 directory, name it anything you want, but try to keep it relavent (ie. Name it 'D3Reborn' for the d3reborn mod.
If no description.txt is included in the folder, the name of the folder is the name of the mod on the mods menu in Doom3.any text in the description.txt is what the mod's name will be (you can color the name this way) no matter what the folder name is) Extract all the data into that folder (you want your.pk4 files to be inside the Doom 3 D3Reborn folder, and any other folders nested under D3Reborn) using your favorite archive program. Some mod devs tell you to extract the.pk4 files or even folders (eep!) into your Doom 3 Base directory,.do not. do this, it can screw with your vanilla Doom3, and is far more inconvienient. Follow the.txt included with the mod if my directions are vague (especially about starting a D3Reborn server, I don't have the newest alpha) and you should be on the roll. Oh, and I take Mastercard lol.Snoop - Noob - 'do you hack?' Justin - 'i hack like a maniac!'

Doom 3 Opencoop
Originally posted by:Doom 3 Co-op was one of the best thing in a 'Horror' / 'Scary' game I don't mind the single player but the 'BFG Edition' is Worthless not Doom 3. Oh, I think I see what you're saying, not that the game itself is a waste but that this particular.edition. is a waste. Is the 'BFG' edition supposed to have the co-op? If not, what is different about the 'BFG' edition? I'm fairly sure it has some added material of some sort in it. I am unfortunately not familiar with the 'BFG' one because I have the original, from way back in the day, non Steam version on my pc.:) I miss the days of actual boxed games with discs and manuals.
If the game description (on the store page) actually states that co-op comes with the game, yet it does not, then this is a pretty clear case of false advertising and the game should be refunded, but you would likely have to contact the developer about the matter.
