How do i get 16 people in Single Player?

Post by xgamer »

Do i have to edit the menu so that i can set that option? Or is it more than that, like a script or a simple change?

Anybody know?

In theory I think that if you did a bsp conversion and transferred all the ai stuff along with it, you could have a sort of single player experience over system link. But I don't know if AI system link perfectly enough to do that

If you did a bsp conversion of that level wouldn't the AI already reference it?
example:
You bsp convert the first deltaapproach bsp, and then transfer all the required AI spawning info but taken from the bsp using the copy function in guerilla?

AI work in system link. Disregard whoever said that.

The only problems with AI are that you can't set up their permutations perfectly for clients and random animations don't sync (but don't affect gameplay either - like how an elite might say something when he's bored to the player). The biggest things are that cutscenes and bsp change commands don't sync at all. You could make a mod to simulate co-op by taking a single bsp from an sp level, and setting up the AI and scripts just like they were in the sp map, but then you only have one bsp section, and no fancy cutscenes.
