[solved] sv_barrelrespawn doesn't work in co-op [without alwaysapplydmflags true]

[jwaffe]

I noticed that sv_barrelrespawn didn't work on one of my test servers (the barrels don't respawn after they are shot, even if it's true) in co-op, is this intentional, or is it a bug?

I switched the game mode to deathmatch and it worked as expected.

It works fine, though I'm fairly certain changing that flag only takes effect on map change.

It definitely doesn't work in co-op, see the demos in this zip. Run them with Doom2.wad as the iwad, no additional files are needed.

(the co-op demo is meant to be watched first)

I did reset the map before recording this demo just to be sure.

Works for me in 1.0. Test servers? I.e. 1.1?

No need for personal attacks.

So apparently it works as expected on my server (Windows XP 32-bit) but not on 75's: neither Windows nor Linux. We can't figure out where the difference was. DMFlags were the same. I even checked with RCON on 75's server to rule out some odd things like sv_defaultdmflags.

EDIT: Never mind; AlwaysApplyDMFlags was false on his server. What a dumb flag.

It's not mentioned on the Zand wiki, it's only on the zDoom wiki

Nice find Qent; I'll update the wiki to mention that sv_barrelrespawn only works on Deathmatch if AlwaysApplyDMFlags is "true".

EDIT -- heh, alwaysapplydmflags only seems to effect two flags from what I've seen so far, sv_spawnfarthest and sv_barrelrespawn.
