3. How to install

	Run the *.exe file, install the game into your AvP2 directory (if you’re reading this, you have done it), run the X-“Coop Mod Beta 2.0” executable file or start the game with this line:

-rez X-coopmod

	Go to Multiplayer, select Cooperative and choose a map

FOR MAP MAKERS: YOU CAN MAKE COOP MAPS TOO! Just make Multiplayer maps with enemies. To play with custom coop maps you must install the *.dat files here:

x-Coopmod/Worlds/multi/teamDM/

Note: X-Coopmod folder is in the avp2 game folder. Be sure it’s there!

FIRST: YOU MUST INSTALL ALL SP MAPS FROM THE GAME.
Just run the “Install Maps.bat” In your \X-Coopmod folder

Voice-Com system (how to use)

1)	Run audigamer.exe (in your Avp2 folder)
2)	 
3)	(Check that you have installed your microphone correctly)

DEDICATED SERVER: 
1. Run the game and set up the game (number of players, options, list of maps, species,...).
2. Run Avp2serv.exe (it's on your avp2 folder)or start a “dedicated server game” from the multiplayer screen.
3. If you want to modify the game options, go to serverdata/ and open the *.txt file.


4. Known bugs
	

-	The maps are not made for MP, this means that the players must stay toghether and, if it’s possible, don’t die.
-	Sometimes the sky or the map “dissapears” (?)
-	When a player finish the map it loads the next map, but not for MP, so the game ends.
-	The cinematics don’t work very  well and some anims are missing.
-	There are more bugs… report bugs here:  [email protected]
6. Tips

-	You can play with the Specific Weapons per character mode. If you turn it on, you must know that not all the marines have Hacking device or blowtorch, required for some levels . All preds have the Hacking Device.
-	For a good game, turn Friendly Fire off (important. 
-	The Exosuit is use as a Infantry Support for the USCM team but it’s a Merc, this means that players can hurt the Exosuit in Coop games. Be careful.
-	The first thing that the players must do is to wait the rest of players. I recommend to make a private game.
-	There are some levels that can be played with both species (Marines and Predators), but remember that the marines cannot jump too hight and the Predators don’t haveBlowTorch.
-	I recommend to restart or finish the map at the end of the level.
-	TIPS FOR SOME LEVELS:




COLATERAL DAMAGE

- The Marines (except the host) will get stuck behind the APC. The Host must select a marine to open doors with the Hacking Device and the Blowtorch and he cannot die. The rest of players must select predator to jump the APC.

A LONG DETOUR

-	If the players are not toghether, the doors can separate the Team (I mean stucked doors)
-	
LOOSE ENDS

-	Don’t kill marines, if you kill a marine, you’ll fail the mission.
-	The last elevator will kill all players except the Host.

SAVIOR 1

	- Players must stay alive all the game, if a marine dies he’ll not be able to continue playing.

SAVIOR 2

-	The map will dissapear after the Queen dies

UNWELCOME GUEST

-	If a player dies, the mission will be acomplished.

I don’t have tested all maps, If you find more tips or bugs, email me: [email protected]

I have to say that this mod have too much bugs, but it’s really FUNNY. I hope you enjoy my mod.
