Problem solved.

Recently, my dad and I tried to play some C&C Renegade on a LAN game. We wanted to play on the same team (because he's somewhat unexperienced at FPS games, and if we were against each other, I'd clobber him so badly it wouldn't even be funny), but found that as soon as he switched over to my team, we immediately won with the game with it saying that we had gotten the higher score by the end of the round or something like that. Then the next round started, but since it was 2 Vs. 0, the message "GAMEPLAY PENDING" popped up in the middle of the screen, and we couldn't move or shoot.

So, is there a was to "override" this team balancing?

Thanks for any help in advance. Big Grin

There are some coop servers online. I think that's your only possibility.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

But we want to play on some multiplayer "_AI" maps (that is, maps that have bots on them). If the coop servers can force everyone to one team, there's gotta be a way for me to do the same. Huh

Playing with a map (for e.g C&C_blahblahAI.mix) will still do the same, since the bots are added to the map. Trying to play 2v0 will still do the GAMEPLAY IS PENDING.

Only way to do this is if you make scripts or host a server. Whats That I dont think that made sence.

I already knew the bots wouldn't solve the GAMEPLAY PENDING problem. That's why I made a thread here. Huh

But yeah, there's probably some sort of mod or script that can force all players to one team. If any of you happen to find such a mod/script, I would very much appreciate a link to it. Smile

Easiest way on lan would be to use an extra pc.
Even a Pentium 2 or Pentium 3 would do it's a dummy player anyways.

Or if your pc is good enough host another Renegade instance, although I know it works online im not sure if this works with lan.

Last solution to use is to install a server with the gameplay pending fix.

This is what I was thinking of doing, although I would consider it a last resort.

That fix is only if you have an FDS installed.
Which means internet play.

Can't FDS host a LAN game? Confused

Well what you would do is the following.

1) You set up the server. (dl the dedicated server program)
2) Install your maps and set a password to the server.
3) Use RenIP or any other methode to connect to your game.

You dont really need Brenbott or SSGM for your purpose.

I finally got TFD working and set it to LAN mode. With the No Gameplay Pending fix, my dad and I were able to play on the same team.

Thanks for the help, guys. Big Grin
