Co-op

How come they hadn't  added co-op from 2.8.5, just wondering because it was one of my most favorite things to do.

Because so far there hasn't been a way to do it well in 2.5. I'm sure Spanky could give you a better answer since I know he worked with AI in 2.5 before.

Here's a video to watch:


AI does exist in 2.5. There's a couple issues though;
- The code for AI isn't as advanced as 2.8.
- The editor we have for 2.5 is technically 2.4.1 and has even LESS code than what's in 2.5. We can make maps but a lot of the features are missing/broken like carryable objectives. Behavior and options that exist in 2.4.1 might do something entirely different or nothing at all in 2.5.
- I have personally tried Hospital as a Co-Op map by adding AI and removing a team. Although the AI was dumb (guy walked off a roof), it worked except the round never ended. I don't have that map anymore to experiment.

It's basically really difficult to get it to work at all and it may not be possible without coding. It's vast amounts of effort that nobody wants to put in anymore.

I'm pretty sure if you really wanted to play co-op, you could download AA2.8.5, run your own LAN server and play against bots as much as you wish.
