I have First Decade, and I wanted to use that Gameplay pending patch, but it asks for server.dat, and I ran multiple searches for it, but I cannot find the file; is there a reason I don't have one?
I'm not saying I don't know where the file is, it should be in the main folder, next to scripts.dll, right? Is there something I'm missing? I want to be able to run the game from my comp as a non-dedicated server with the gameplay is pending patch for coop testing purposes. Thanks in advance for any help, and I'm sorry if this question has been asked by a million people already, but I ran a forum search for my problem, and I found no answers; so I don't think it's happened before, but maybe I'm just an idiot.

the server.dat file itself is to be run on the Renegade FDS, not on the renegade client

The no gameplay pending patch only works on dedicated servers.

Yeah, I figured that out; I'm an idiot, like I thought. Can anyone tell me if it's possible to run coopbeta 2.25 on a non-dedicated server? I realize that the maps would overwrite the SP maps, I'm ok with that, I just want to be able to use some kind of co-op setup in an offline LAN. Is this at all possible? Sorry if I'm being an idiot.

If it requires the no gameplay pending patch it isnt possible. What you could do is run a LAN server on the FDS.

I thought I needed the no gameplay patch for another reason, but I don't. So thank you guys very much for helping, this answers all my questions.
