Summary0000933: Expand on the GameType ACS information function.
DescriptionHello.

The ACS information function GameType allows for the execution of different commands depending upon whether the mode is offline singleplayer, online in co-op, or online in deathmatch.
This allows for useful features such as giving people damage protection against certain weapons in co-op while letting them harm each other in DM, or (outside of SV_UnblockPlayers) turning on +THRUSPECIES for projectiles so players can shoot through each other while turning it off in DM, or letting an item pickup give a lot of health and armor in co-op while giving only a little in DM, etc, etc, etc.

At the moment, however, several team-based game modes will be considered co-operative under the script--such as Capture the Flag or Skulltag. So a script that (for example) has bullets/projectiles to go through players in co-op mode suddenly makes CTF/ST gameplay decisively more difficult.
I would like to suggest expanding GameType so as to recognize additional modes, if they're being played.

You already should be able to distinguish between CTF/ST and Coop. In CTF/ST the function is supposed to return GAME_NET_TEAMGAME (=4), while it should return GAME_NET_COOPERATIVE (=1) in coop. If this doesn't work for you, please post a minimal example wad that demonstrates the problem.

Ah, I didn't even know GAME_NET_TEAMGAME existed. Yeah, that works perfectly in regards to things.

Well, then, I guess nevermind.

I'm glad to hear that :). Closing this then.
