Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is possible, and if it is, how to do it.

Id like to beable to make a server, without the FDS,and have it so everyone can be on one side. I and you are all aware that if you dont have atleast one person on GDI and one on NOD you get the Gameplay Pending error, there a way around this?

MP-Gaming came out with a server.dat patch years ago for the gameplay pending patch. But the site died so no more downloads Sad But what you can do is in ssaow.ini, it has an option where to set all the players to a specific team. I don't know if it works or not, cause I never tried it, so go for it!

It can be done clientside, but as far as i'm aware only the gameplay pending patch.

To do so, change the name of Game.exe to server.dat, run the patcher, then rename back to Game.exe.

Change Game2.exe to server.dat and vice versa after the patch.

I don't think this has been run with RG so run Game2.exe directly (not through Game.exe).

www.Game-Maps.NET is back, you should be able to download the things you want from there now.

Lol, noob..

Use the server.exe patch from www.Game-Maps.net, use it to find the server.dat in your Renegade FDS, then patch! Start it up, join the game, and you can play 1v0. But if you want to do it client side. I don't have a clue how to do it. Nor do I want to experiment with my game2.exe Razz

Yeah, it makes it so you can do 1v0 but how can you make it 2v0 + without forcing to change teams? I am sure ssaow can do that without manually changing teams.

Try patching server.dat from the FDS then renaming it to Game2.exe?

May cause errors and i don't have the FDS on me to test it out but it's worth a try.

And force change team is only avalible in SSAOW... but that's just an edited scripts.dll with an ini file... maybe you could use them clientside too (not sure how it would work when joining a server but hosting one it may just be the same as an FDS?).

He doesn't want to run an FDS. He wants to run a regular server from the renegade game client. afaik, he wants to make it so you can play by yourself, and LR01 is saying he should rename game2.exe to server.dat, patch that, and renme it back. Personally, I think patching your game2.exe that is suppost to patch a server.dat will fuck up your client, badly. Thumbs Up

Just run a damn FDS with the BlackIntel scripts, make the SFPS something low since you will be hosting it off your computer. But make sure you open up your game client b4 you put up your server so you can play on it. Sarcasm

Also, that SSAOW thing with the forceing to 1 team change, (lol im confused) it doesn't work when I tried to make my own deathmatch back then.. And yes, it was SSAOW 1.5. it was set to GDI only. But it never worked.. But MP's Co-Op doesn't run on a ssaow.ini afaik, and so you can ask them how they did it?

Actually, i said that, LR01 just quoted me.

And i do know he wants to run a clientside server, but without running an FDS this is his best bet.
