COOP Game

[eynstyne]

Well, you can still do a LAN game. The serial cables are probably not going to be of any use unless ur configuring a router or something via COM ports.

First, if u don't have a router or WRG (Wireless residential Gateway), you will have to direct connect the two computers using an ethernet cable and statically assign the IP addresses (192.168.1.x) and setting the default gateways as well so they can talk. Use the machines you wanna talk to as the default gateways per machine.

PC1 (e.g: XP)
IP : 192.168.1.1
Subnet : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.2

PC2 (e.g: UBUNTU)
IP : 192.168.1.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Install AC on XP (Easy)
Install AC on Ubuntu -> Download either a subversion of AC with the svn command : "svn co https://actiongame.svn.sourceforge.net/s...actiongame actiongame" or the AC source and run the shell scripts.

Read about setting up the server (servercommandline.txt) to enable coop functionality as well as other features. Its just adding e (normal) or E (admin access) on the -P permission switch.

That should be it. Start game, connect via LAN and vote map in coop
