Darkplaces server options

[slackhead]

Hi, does darkplaces dedicated server use the same flags as other quake servers?

How do I set up a coop game with it? I can't seem to find any options for gametypes.

Thanks

Setting up a server in DP is basically the same. If you wanna do it from the commandline just use this or similar.

darkplaces.exe -dedicated +deathmatch 0 +coop 1 +teamplay 1 +map start

+teamplay 1 will not allow you to harm your coop buddy

Could also just set it up via the config or autoexec.cfg something like this...

// Coop Play
teamplay "1"
coop "1"
deathmatch "0"
skill 3
map start

That should be all you need. As far a network protocol compatibility basically the default protocol should be fine to connect to allow most other quake engines to connect without a problem. DP has two network protocols. PROTOCOL_DARKPLACES7 (DP7) and PROTOCOL_QUAKEDP (used first back in Nehahara mod).

Hope this helps.
