OpenCoop

Doom III mod |

OpenCoop is a cooperative multiplayer modification for Doom³. Up to 4 Players can fight over Lan or Internet the Id Software campaing, the Addon "Ressurection Of Evil" or one of 42 custommaps as InHell or ClassicDoom for example. You can customise you playermodel with 13 individual heads and tint your amor over a colorslider. Every player can pick up weapons and armor once. Collected health from medpacks or heathstations goes into a heathpool, where you take HP from when respawning after dying. The AI got tweaked to act smarter with multiply attackers and the strength scales depending on the number of players. In "Hellwave" gametype you fight against waves of monsters on the original DM maps or on one of 3 new custommaps.

For custommaps we prefere to build addon pk4s.
So every
map can have its own entity-, definition- or weaponscirpt modifications.

Complete the following steps to have a simple to start and well
contained map.

  • Loading GUI with progressbar and custom
    text:
    For background pictures, save a 512x512pixel tga file to

    "guisloadingyourmapname.tga"
    When taking the screenshot, hide
    weaponmodel and hud to get a clean shot .
    Save your GUI in

  • Map Thumbnails:
    are 256x256 pixel tga
    files with the exact name of our map. Put that file to

    "guisassetssplashyourmapname.tga"
    Simply resize your loading gui
    background file


  • Getting map size calculated:
    temporary save your mapdef in
    "defyourmapname.def"


    Code:
    mapDef yournick/yourmapname{
       "name"            "Name
    listed in mapbrowser"
       "devname"         "shortname"
       "oc_customs"  
     "1"
       "size0"            "0"
       "size1"            "0"
       "size2" 
              "0"
       "size3"            "0"
    }

    to give doom3 access to
    write in this file. Load the map once for eache of the 4 quality settings
    (ultra, high, medium, low) with "com_updateLoadSize" set to 1. This will fill in
    the size of your map and makes the loadgui progressbar working.


  • Pak your map:
    simply use 7zip, winrar
    or a ziptool of your choice.
    Compress your files in a ZIP file and rename the fileextension to "pk4".

  • Addon pk4s:
    are very simple to build.
    Just put your mapdefinition in a file "addon.conf".


    Code:
    addonDef {
    }

    mapDef yournick/yourmapname{
     
     "name"            "Name listed in mapbrowser"
       "devname"       
     "shortname"
       "oc_customs"    "1"
       "size0"            "1234"
    //calculated in step above
       "size1"            "1234" //calculated in step
    above
       "size2"            "1234" //calculated in step above
     
     "size3"            "1243" //calculated in step above
    }


    Paste the calculated size
    and put this file on the first position in the pk4, next to the "map" folder.

    We no longer
    need the first mapdef "defyourmapname.def" we created above, be shure to delete
    it !


After all these steps, your addon.pk4
should look like this.
