Idea: Expanded co-op

[Teflon1]

Daikatana has very good co-op as-is, but I think there are several things limiting it from being truly great, like the player limit.

• Expand the player limit from 3 to something larger, like 8 or even 16. It would be weird seeing an army of Mikikos and Superflys at first, but it would make things more exciting and more open for large co-op games, which can be really fun, The only problem would be adding extra spawns, but since ya'll seem to already have the map sources from a place, this should't be too hard.

*Enemy modifiers, like the amount of damage they do and how much health they have. Serious Sam has a health multiplier that makes it so that a single person can't plow through the entire level, and I think this would be a good addition for Daikatana as well to encourage people to work together. You could balance this by making the XP given higher the more health enemies have. I would like an enemy multiplier as well, but several of the enemies are placed in positions that would cause problems if a ton of them were to appear at once.

*Shared experience points for everyone. This has been mentioned before, but this would be great for preventing situations where someone is much more powerful than others because they're doing things like rushing and/or kill-whoring.

*The ability to select what level, not just episode, you want to start a co-op game in would be great so you can go straight to levels you and your group like in an episode without having to mess with cheats and the like.

Shared experience is already coded in. The menu selectors would be up to Knightmare if it's easy to do since the menu code is kind of a mess.

There's a fair bit of special code limited to 3 for coop so I am unsure how hard it would be but would be a cool idea too.

Funny you mention enemy modifiers as I believe they do exist for the boss characters only.

Hey Teflon,

Most of this is actually implemented now (almost 10 years later!). You can play with more than 3 people in coop by setting /coop 2 in console (only for dedicated).

Since we have map voting, and the ability to select a different level in coop multiplayer menu now this is also available.

The only thing not yet available is enemy modifiers for all enemies, not just the bosses.
