Topic: CO-OP and the next patch

Please Please tell me there will be OFFICIAL bot support in the next patch. 1 year later after the mod's release can we finally have a game for online multiplayer, singleplayer and lan parties? A lot of people are turned off or scared to play the game because the 400 professional players out there online kick their pie as soon as they try to play. CO-OP for them would be a good crutch.

There is a single player mini mod available. As for full incorporation of it, I dont know.

I know a few people that really want to try it but have problems getting online. SP support would really help lift this mod until they get their net issues sorted.

CO-OP would also allow to fill empty Online Servers with Bots and help promote FirstStrike at Lanparties.

Re: CO-OP and the next patch

Unfortunately bot support takes up a lot of resources, the maps have to be set up a certain way to achieve this, and it'll be a while before that can be fully incorporated into the game, however as has been mentioned you can download the Singleplayer Mini Mod which has gone quite far into converting FS maps for bot use. Its continuing development will most likely eventually lead to it being fully integrated with the standard First Strike mod, but this will be a while off yet.

Re: CO-OP and the next patch

We're working on it.  Dnamro is the only person on the team who singularly focuses on SP, though, so it's tough.  At some point, though, it will happen.

Thankfully, there are no professional or full-time players in FS.

Still, some of us have had a lot of practise, so I take your point. The converse is also true though; most of the experienced players will be quite happy to help you out, particularly if you get in a squad and use the in-game VOIP. We all want more players online, so we don't actually want to scare you off.

Yes, I'll do my damnedest to apply my size 12s to your posterior if you are on the other side, but I'll also do my best to help you if you are on my side...

Come on – it beats getting pwned by a computer!
