Doom - Extra weapons

[CyberRascal]

Hey, I recently got ahold of Doom Legacy, and I was wondering something. I havnt been able to find the solution to this anywhere on google so here goes;

I wanted to play Doom 1 cooperative and happily I launched a server and my friend joined. Then I realized that there were alot of weapons that wouldn't be there on "original" doom, AKA singleplayer, for example there's a rocket launcher out in the acidpond on the first level. Is there any way to remove these extra weapons/items and play it as an original game, but with two players?

Thanks :)

they are there cuz u are playing coop. if you play single player, they won't be there. i'm pretty sure its not the port cuz i have seen this on other ports.

This is normal behavior. Those weapons are tagged multiplayer. They're obviously meant for DM only but for some reason John never put in seperate tags for DM and coop.

[CyberRascal]

Yeah, I figured that out when I wanted to play Doom coop the last time.. Or the time before that. Anyway, it was a long time ago :p

Is there any way for me to remove it? I REALLY want to play coop with original style..

Skulltag is probably the only port left with no multiplayer weapons in coop bug left in it. Zdoom 2.96 has it IIRC but Zdoom teh sux0rs for multiplayer.

Can we look forward to separate Coop/DM tags in Legacy 2.0? :)

Already done (was added in Boom).

[CyberRascal]

Alright, I'm sorry. I feel really stupid now.

I searched for Boom on google, and found Boom or PRBoom which seemed to be a source port for doom. Are you saying I should use that instead of Legacy, or do you mean there is some way I could use them together, or are you talking about something entirely different?

Well you have to edit the levels for it to be of any good.

[CyberRascal]

Alright. Now I get what you mean.

Is there no-one who has released a doom.wad with multiplayer weapons removed?


/Alright. Downloaded DOOMBuilder which had a filter, which made it easy to delete weapons/ammo/stuff only in multiplayer, so I went through the game with the editor and did so, should work now. Only had a quick test on the first map without anyone but me connected, but it worked. I got severely pissed off at some of Legacy's bugs, such as sometimes it sticks to one specific .wad pathway such as c:/doom/doom.wad. Even if I left all pathway's empty it would start doom.wad, and only fixing with a reinstall, which made me pull my hair.
