The xml files with additionnal weapon, monster ... are strored on the worldserver. I am the only one who can modify them.

You can create your own files and test them offline. It is what JudicatorOmega has done with the first map (Outer base / base.bsp). He has sent the file to me and I have incorporated it on the worldserver. Look at the dead body near the elevator of base1, for understanding.

Crusard has done the same thing and created 2 special mission that use deathmatch maps : "crash n massacre" and "run for the head". These mission can be reached from "Installation" for the first and "Mine entrance" for the second. There is also the "punishment", reachable from the startmap and made by me.

Storing items on the startmap like you are requesting is possible but it will unbalance the game. Look at this picture from my betatest account :



If you want to preserve your weapon list... don't die.

About the xmlrules, you can look at this discussion thread :

The old wiki related to coopordie is no more available, I will add some technical pages directly on the coopordie main site... ASAP.

Makes sense.

I just wanted to make sure that was the issue and not me incorrectly utilizing the XML files.

Thank you for the information.
