Hey. I read somewhere that there were new XML rules by ANDREI for Regular mode, but if I play challenge mode with more than 1 player, the rules seem to take effect.

Is that normal? I read they weren't meant to be in challenge mode at all.

There are 2 sets of xmlrules:

• The basic set, it is used for both modes (regular/challenge). It can change monsters type and add some loot to the monsters.
• The ANDREI set, it apply only to regular mode and add a lot of monsters.

Eh.. Been a while since i played COOD with someone, but I doubt that's true. As pat stated... it would only change monsters (and it does even if you're alone).

Every time me and ZethZune have played a challenge coop game we've had the extra enemies.

Screen shots of them showing up on Challenge, one player. D:
I played all the way to the end of the factory with extra monsters. Barely enough ammo, ended up blastering most of the prison - killed 6 tanks with the blaster only.

You're freaking right! There they are! It's probably due to pat's recent modification...

As much as I would like to earn my proposed Black Star, I simply can't do it. I'm outside the Makron's chamber, and ANDREI monsters are on even though I'm in challenge mode. I'd appreciate it if this problem was fixed ;D

an old bug which pat wasn't able to fix it
i'll try to do it, but it will be easier for me because i know a lot of shortcuts and a lot of secrets =] (this meaning every secret)

Thanks ANDREI. I'll see if I can make it back to the Makron without getting lasered xD hopefully the extra monsters will be off. I just don't have the ammo to kill all the extra monsters (and one Invincibility won't last long enough)

Zethzune, I'm awfully sorry, you are completely right

Here is the proof in the comments of internal WorldServer code:


I've corrected it today, the ANDREI monsters are no more available in challenge mode:
