Well.. here it is. Small and late, but hey! It's a patch!
I actually kept delaying it, thinking that I could improve it later, but I ended up delaying it endlessly, as I kept forgetting about it
.Here's a link to the files: http://www.2shared.com/file/B2brIZZ3/cood_patch_-_files.html
And, here's a list of the things done/covered within the patch:
==> The HUD almost always stays open. Basically, you will keep seeing it on your screen. Furthermore, you cannot remove it
. The only problem comes when you want to see the (utterly useless) 'help screen'; although it causes the HUD to disappear, it reappears after closing the 'help screen'==> The HUD refreshes more frequently. Well, having a HUD that refreshes once at ~4 seconds is kinda useless, so it now refreshes a lot quicker.
==> When someoned dies, each person's inventory resets properly now. This small bug was pretty annoying, especially when you were playing with other people
==> Additionally, there's an executable which requests your name and password. Well, many people had trouble trying to set up coopordie; some even didn't even get to play the game because of it! Because of this, I also made a name/pass requester, which is basically an .exe, which opens a small dialog window, where you can enter your name, password and the game executable (in case you wish to use another engine).
Also, the program adds up a new parameter: +set net_compatibility 1. I've noticed this is important in case you use a modern engine (for me, it was EGL), as you need it in order to host a server or connect to another players.
For Pat: I also included the name requester's source code so that you can check it (and recompile), in the case you suspect me of making a keylogger
