Quake3World

Hi everyone!

As the title says, I would like to have a Doom3-style SinglePlayer mode for my Monkeys of Doom, i.e. the player against ALL bots, instead of standard all-against-all. Something like a Team Deathmatch singleplayer mode with only the human player in one of the teams.

What I've found is this tutorial http://rfactory.org/singlegame.html ... which looks pretty much like what I'm looking for. BUT: I'm still a none-coder and can't do much more than copy and paste the given code into the right lines. (- which worked a couple of times, so I would dare to do it again!)

But before I'd like to know if one of you tried out something similar already and has some tips for me! Seems a not-so-exotic idea, so I'm hopeful...

Hm... Unfortunately that tutorial didn't help me much. It's not very detailed and alters the game much more than I want to.

I hoped there would be a way to leave almost everything as it is in original singleplayer mode (reading the maporder and the botnames from arenas.txt, displaying the podium, unlocking tiers) but only as a Team Deathmatch game instead of Free For All... Anyone with an idea?!

Force the player on one team and the bots on the other. Maybe add a new gametype to the gametype_t enum in game/bg_public.h (at the bottom because lots of code does something like 'if (gametype >= GT_TEAM) {') so you can render the default models instead of the red/blue ones. You'd have to hack cgame/cg_players.c a little so it loads the correct model, but that's not rocket science.

Hi ^misantropia^, thanks for the quick reply!

... That's what I had in mind!

Okay, that is somewhere around HERE Hm, but only adding something like GT_SINGLE_TEAM or so wouldn't do much, right?

To keep it as simple as possible for a dummy like me: Let's say the bots are all in the red team (that textures look pretty similar to the default ones in MoD anyway).

If it only was. It's Herr W...erner von Braun. But coding..? No way!
