Single player and Cooperative

[Pure Hellspawn]

How can I play Single Player in ZDoom 2.0.96 x-2 with Coop Monsters?

[Bashe]

I'm not sure...but if you do "summonfriend [blah]" it will summon a friendly monster for your aid.

[VinceDSS]

dunno... I guess probably...
though, I know how to play with coop stuff with prboom, legacy and doom2.exe ....

[Opulent]

IIRC both prboom and zdoom have ipx emulation modes for multiplayer.
I think Kristian point out that you can start a multiplayer game with only one node(yourself).
perhaps read the port documentation...

You rang, Doug? ;-)

I know that in ZDoom 1.22 you can "trick" the engine into starting a 1-player coop game by using the parameter "-host", like so:

c:\zdoom>zdoom -host 1 [additional params]

This makes ZDoom set up a multiplayer game with only 1 player (you). I think it's still possible to do this in later versions of ZDoom, though I haven't checked. Hope this helps.

EDIT: Yup, it works in ZDoom 2.0.63a, I see no reason why it wouldn't work in later versions.
