Coop Marines v1.66 - 11/11/09

Projects that alter game functions but do not include new maps belong here.
Forum rules
The Projects forums are only for projects. If you are asking questions about a project, either find that project's thread, or start a thread in the General section instead.

Got a cool project idea but nothing else? Put it in the project ideas thread instead!

Projects for any Doom-based engine (especially 3DGE) are perfectly acceptable here too.

Please read the full rules for more details.

By all respect, that is just a demotivating post. Useless to some, usefull to others. You can't please everyone.

New update. This time the marines will always face their target when chasing them (kinda like you strafing).

Why don't you try to make the zcajun bots smart instead? :P

...which will eventually return to how pointless this mod is.

Are these just friendly marines?

Useless for the typical ZDoom gameplay, maybe.

But you shouldn't think of them as friendly marines, but as monster-aware bots. (Skulltag's bots ignore monsters and can only be used for deathmatches.) Their behavior is meant to simulate other players.

These marines are still an improvement on just summoning a friendly scripted marine, anyway.

Yes, Indeed they are. I just wanted to make the scripted marine simulate a player. Useless for some, fun for some others. Anyway, at least I try :? . They are basically monsters with the player sprite and properties with a dash of fancy action states.

These marines run while shooting and when in pain. Always face their target. Got the same fire rate as player and frames. Awake monsters and make monsters target them etc.

New update. The marines can't hitscan-attack each other etc. Only rocket splash (rocket marines are immune to themselves) and bfg spray can kill them by themselves. You're still vulnerable though to all attacks from them as usual.

Actually, I found it quite good fun to wander around a level, summon a squad of marines and send them into battle. You can do little things like estimate how many you are going to need for a particular job and see if it works out etc.

I imagined myself as some VIP being escorted through the map by the marines. I wasn't allowed to shoot anything myself, but I could summon and "command" as many marines as I saw fit. :)
