Jedi Academy Co-Op

[DarthDementous]

First things first, is this idea feasible?

 

How would one go about letting another client join them to aid in a singleplayer mission? Could it literally be done on the singleplayer coding or would multiplayer have to be modified to allow the AI and scripts to function the same way as regular singleplayer would.

 

I am not coder by any means and am genuinely curious whether this could be an idea that works - it would certainly make for an interesting gameplay dynamic and encourage modders to create more SP driven maps.

Both could work with dramatic work.

Fixing up MP and adding SP features (checkpoints, level progression, AI) would be much easier, and has been done before (OJP Enhanced)

OpenJK may also add co-op.

You could sort of cheese it with some Icarus scripting, heavy and numerous entity mods, and a scorelimit set for an Icarus loop.

That's pretty awesome that it sounds do-able. I don't suppose it would be one of OpenJK's final goals but if after everything gets done that gets added it would be a very welcome addition indeed.

@DarthDementous a fellow Whovian yayyyy! xD

 

I do agree that it would take considerable scripting and other work.  Scripting isn't really my forte though...

I looked at this a while ago. The scripting required actually wouldn't be too advanced. The thing that deterred me from even attempting this would be the massive amount of entity work. You'd need to gut a lot of stuff out, and you'd need to do it for all the BSP's. Then you'd have to redistribute all of the BSP's, and provide instructions on how to setup the proper rotation vstrs on a server, as well as how to setup the scorelimit.

 

Then there would be a lot of relying on people not to be dicks and intentionally break shit. Too much work. ><

CO-OP works with OJP Enhanced, it's just breaky on some levels. As I recall, it works (almost perfectly) on t1_sour.

Prime example that such concept can work . . .

They're on totally different engines for starters.

And Sven's coop is pretty breaky as I recall.

Never experienced it, though it has been some time since I played it . . .

No it isn't.

@@CaptainCrazy Right back at you

 

Is there anyway we can extrapolate some of the code from OJP's t1_sour mission to see what they did with that?

 

(I wasn't even aware OJP had co-op, are those files still downloadable to host on a server?)

[Raz0r]

There's a potential licence issue with using OJP code in OpenJK (GPLv2)

I would rather do most of it by myself anyway. I find OJP code a bit messy =p we're also aiming largely for base client compatibility, so some things would have to be done differently.

[eezstreet]

No it isn't.

It was whenever I played on it. But it's besides the point.
