NOAMZWF, SP Could be MP

[SpArKs]

Ok, here goes...

I have a night of a million zombies map, its Sp. But without modifying it, I'm trying too get a bit of co-op action in it. (Is that possible?)

Well I'm trying to find out!

If you run HL2: DM, create a server with the map. Pause the game, click find server then click LAN Games. The NOAMZWF map will appear in the list!

Now....

Lets say I created a Hamachi network: ?????? pass: ??????

And Player B had the NOAMZWF map, connected to my network, started HL2: DM clicked LAN, blah blah...

Would it work? Would it connect? I mean, Hamachi creates a virtual LAN doesn't it?

Anyways if your not familiar with Hamachi you can get it here: www.hamachi.cc

I read about on the forums here that you have to pay for a server?!?!?!

I have a feeling that Hamachi might over come that! BUT, each network is restricted to 16 ppl. BUT there's no limit on how many networks you wish to create!!!

Also Hamachi has a instant chat feat. might come in handy!

If you do get Hamachi, and want too help me out on the NOAMZWF prob. or DM/TDM. i created a network

NET:COOP
Pass:COOP

What i do know is when i create a server i got to type sv_lan 0 into the console, Not a prob!
All i need is good communication from a willing participant!

*sniffs* i think i can smell a new type of Gaming(if it works)
Please help!

Thanks.

For a good, dedicated server you have to pay. If you want, you can set up a server right on your home computer, and people can join it. You don't need the hamachi stuff, just create an internet server.

Type in console, after having started a server :
sv_lan 0
sv_region 0

And then just wait
Although a firewall or a router may prevent your server from being in the list...

OK, I've actually done this before with a friend. We did it by both downloading the mod "God Damned Undead" and putting the NOAMZ map inside that mods maps folder. I loaded up the mod, hit create server, after it was loaded I made sure sv_lan 0 was set, and then I gave my friend my IP and he connected. We played for quite a while. Its honestly fun for a bit, but its pretty easy, the zombies tend to stay clumped up and dont always come after you.

Right there, I do believe.

edit* It's also worth noting that you can use this same method to play some other single player maps (through God Damned Undead), but sometimes the AI wont kick in properly so the map is useless. My friend and I tried a few other onslaught maps (combine, antlions), some worked, some didn't. I've actually heard of some people (through using various tweaks and such that I haven't the foggiest about) have mangaged to play through some of HL2 co-operatively with this. Ravenholm would be kickin', but I could never get that to work.
