Which is easier to make killing floor like mod, SP or MP?

Hi.
I’m a fan of killing floor.
One day I thought why didn’t quake engine based games have such a good game.
And what is the easiest approach to make one if it’s possible.

I hit on one game, that is, RTCW.
Becase it has already various unique zombies in SP mode and enough perks in MP mode.
So I just registered here.

Here is my question:
Is it possible to make a coop game with wolfsp.exe?
Or wolfmp.exe does it better?

Plus I’m searching for a skilled coder to make this project come true ASAP.
Of course I also do a lot of hard works as a project leader.

I’m pretty new to mapping, but I agree with you that the zombies are unique. I just finished a castle map with zombies in it.

I would help you, but I haven’t learned enough to go as far as coding. Maybe someone else here could help you.

I dunno coding at all,but I think SP must have no netcode and MP must have no AI code.
I think wolfmp.exe would make it better but I don’t know a thing about coding…^^

If I remember Doom3 has a co-op mode(or only on xbox I don’t remember), it has loads of zombies,gore effects and such also.
And it’s multiplayer is limited to 4 players anyway.
Also the game is recent 3d software compatible for player models(if you wish to make some),while rtcw requires to have some old 3dsmax4 or 5! :eek:
Well you could do mods on any of them, but I think doing it for doom3 would be easier,while doing it for rtcw(or ET! :D) would have more players to play it.

With 3d max 4, 5 not the problem, at me is. mds models do not want to be exported.

Let me play your map if you don’t mind taking the trouble to upload it.

@BackSnip3
D3 is not included in my option because it does not run on my PC.
On top of that I want incredible amount of zombies :eek: to spawn at the same time, which should be done on light-weight engines.

@a13xoloid: Look in the topic “Olivet Castle ready for testing”. The first post has the link to download it.
Be aware that it is quite buggy. The latest version with a low amount of bugs hasn’t been put on filefront yet.

I’ll see if I can feedback something. :penguin:
