I'd like to play Duke 3d SP episodes as co-op with friends, but the maps have extra items (e.g. shotgun on the first roof) and monsters that respawn a lot. Is it possible to disable them and play the sp episodes unchanged as co-op (some console command perhaps)? I'm using eduke32 and atomic edition.

I'm not sure, but I think you should be able to disable the respawn in the menu, or a frontend if you're using one.

Silly me, the respawning monsters was caused by the difficulty level (damn I'm good). I guess I tried singleplayer at come get some instead. The extra items still remain though.

You can add this line of code in your CONs (of everyone who's going to play like that)

onevent EVENT_GAME

ifactor AMMO
 ifspritepal 1
   killit
..
..
..
..

endevent

You can repeat the code for every actor you want to be gone in multiplayer.

I believe this must also be checked in order to get rid of your items in case you are going to play Dukematch. (No items? Annoying) COOP

[code]
onevent EVENT_GAME
ifvare COOP 1
{
ifactor AMMO
ifspritepal 1
killit
endevent

[ripa]

I added:

onevent EVENT_GAME
ifactor SHOTGUNSPRITE
ifspritepal 1
	killit
endevent

at the end of GAME.CON. It didn't make the extra shotgun at the first rooftop (on Hollywood Holocaust) disappear. If I remove "ifspritepal 1", it removes all the shotguns. Just to clarify, I want to remove the extra items spawned in multiplayer that don't exist in singleplayer (such as the chaingun in the apartment at the start of Hollywood Holocaust).

I'm trying to find a section in the source code where I could comment out multiplayer items.

Thanks a bunch! It seems to work great. After Duke I've got to find something similar for Heretic :)

By the way, what's the purpose of ifspritepal? Singleplayer items always have pal 0 and mp items something else?

Right. Colored items are hardcoded to be deleted in singleplayer when the map loads.
