Do regular items always appear in Multiplayer by default?

[Kyka]

Yeah. I am just placing stuff for deathmatch in an SP map, and I wasn't sure whether regular SP items spawn in multiplayer. (Has been forever since I deathmatched anything.)

I think they do, but thought I would ask just to be sure.

[Memfis]

Yes they do. In prboom-plus you can check how the level looks in multiplayer by adding -solo-net parameter.

Good to know.

Thanks Memfis. :)

In fact you have to check specific flags in order to make them absent from multiplayer: "Not Deathmatch" and "Not Cooperative".

Useful if you think few items would unbalance a multiplayer game.

Also these flags require Boom compatibility or above. With vanilla/Chocolate/complevel 2/etc., they should have no effect.

I didn't know until now, thanks for the information!

Which is imitating vanilla's ixpsetup -nodes 1 option!

PrBoom/+ already had the option through its server, but it was added as a direct parameter just to make it easier to use.
