Can you put NPC's in a deathmatch?

what I am trying to do is create a simm type game that can be played by several people in the same room.  think of it has DnD meets a LAN party. Half the game will happen on a ship powered by startrek bridge commander, the other half will be 'away missions' using networked computers and Elite force.

what I am trying to do is use the EF maps and characters for the setting of this game, but not have KILL KILL KILL as the goal. (there will be killing, but not right away and not as the prime focus)

I know that is a relitivly simple question, but I am just beginning research on this. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would aprciate.

Wait for the Snerds "CO-OP mod" he is geting single player stuff to work in hm. till then it's bots, and kill, kill, kill.

Thanks, where can I get more info on this mod?

the Snerds site which is somewhere on the web. (I'm betting the snerd in a search engine will bring a managable # of hits)

Here I am hehe, you can get more information about it here: http://www.raven-games.com/hosted/coop/ and download the co-op source code here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/coop - yep, it is open-source now

It's really creepy how you do that. and while you are here, is there a way to code a mod that lets you play a sound that every one hears when you press a key? or a way to do it in the current engine? (I hope, I hope)

So are you still working on that mod, Snerd?
