Sorry, sorry, sorry - I just can't work out how to get Quake coop working; setting it up and joining. A full, brief, direction-pointing or in any way helpful guide much appreciated. _________________ my site

On LAN computer #2

I start Quake like this: Darkplaces -listen 8 +coop 1 +deathmatch 0 +map start Really only the -listen flag is necessary, and then you can use Quake's multiplayer menu to start the server. Darkplaces will typically detect the host automatically, and I think standard Quake did this on a lan as well. My friend and I even managed to join without problems over Hamachi, several hundred miles apart, and had a blast playing through the original Q1 SP from start to finish.
I hope you're able to connect! Make sure your firewall knows to not block your Quake engine. You might even need to specify a different port.

If you only intend to have 4 or less players, you don't need the listen flag. You can just type "maxplayers 4" in the console.
The listen flag enables >4 player slots in vanilla Quake and DarkPlaces doesn't even have this limitation, you can set maxplayers to anything.
