cheats in multiplayer, possible?

[thomas_taubert]

Hi,
sometimes, I play with friends "Legacy Doom" (cooperative match) in a local area network (LAN).

Are the cheats also available in the multiplayer modus with the console? (gimme plasma, ..., IDDAD, god, ...?)
Is it possible to show the name of the player over the game token in the multiplayer modus?
We want to use a new weapons mod - what are the correct settings in the multiplayer modus? The server can choice the new mod, not the client?!

Thanks in advance for help
Thomas

Been awhile since I'v actually played multiplayer CO-OP but I think the server only has complete control over the cheats.
In DM, cheats are forbidden though.
Wish I could be more help but I never use cheats.

For showing the player names in co-op, you can hit F12 which toggle switches to cam view of the player.
Or console command on the server side, getplayernum I think.
In dm mode just press F to show scores with player names.

For using a weapons mod just make sure everyone loads the WAD or DEH files, then they should be fine to join via the ingame server list. Over LAN you could get away with having the clients auto-download them too.
