Angry Can't spawn on captured flags in co-op

It seems like flags for Co-op are set to AI only, this thread describes my exact problem:
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=148579

However
1) it would be extremely tedious to manually change this setting for each and every individual map
2) the setting cannot be edited because of file permissions
3) trying to replace the zip folder with a corrected zip results in the game refusing to launch detecting modified files

Any solutions?

Is this a modding question?

1. You can make a copy of the map, you'll probably have to rename some stuff
2. You can launch offline profile with modified files.

My question is whether or not I can change 1 file to spawn on capped flags in sp without having to manually overwrite every single map file

Not sure exactly what you are looking for, but these decisions are made by the map editor and i like to keep my self the spawns for Ai only since it forces coop to be a bit more serious using logistics and building fobs, there is a line for every spawn in gamemodes > gpm_coop > gameplayobjects.con you gotta look for spawn points
ObjectTemplate.setOnlyForAI 1 this makes the spawn only for ai, if you remove the line or put there 0 then you can spawn on it once it is capped, in map editor it is a bit easier to change but i think something like a simple notepad should be able to do it as well with it's tools to make it quick.

Okay - so, this method DOES involve changing a map file - therefore, if you do, you will be unable to join online... unless you first make a copy of the map and give it a new name. I do not have instructions prepared for that, but I can help with your question quoted above:
  • Find the mission you want to play in singleplayer with special 'spawn on flag' rules. Open it and navigate to the 'server.zip' file. Open this with a .zip editor, pictured is WinRAR.
  • Dive down in this file to the 'gameplayobjects.con' file - depending on the layer, the final folder will be a number specific to that map/level - in the example below, I'm using LangMaster's created map for upcoming COOP version: "server.zip\gamemodes\gpm_coop\128\gameplayobjects .con"
  • Open the 'gameplayobjects.con' file (preferably with a good editor like Notepad++, shown in pics). Search for the line noted by LangMaster: "ObjectTemplate.setOnlyForAI" (*pro tip: CTRL+F and 'find all in current document')
  • Note that each one is under a section of that file pertaining to a single point. Change the ones you want, as noted by LangMaster, 1 is AI only - change this to a 0, and save. When the zip archive asks if you want to update the volume, select, YES.

Hey bro, after i save all the change, it said : "Cannot rename D:\Project Reality BF2\mods\pr\levels\battle_of_ia_drang\__rzi_2968.2 1673 to D:\Project Reality BF2\mods\pr\levels\battle_of_ia_drang\server.zip"

Edit : i run the server file with winrar, and the gameplayobject.con with notepad
Edit2: Ok i figure it out, just allow the permission to modify the server file

Get a better .zip editor then...
