Some reasons why SP Coop isn't included in Sauerbraten:
- It actually isn't singleplayer, but multiplayer (which makes the term "SP Coop" incorrect).
- Sauerbraten isn't supporting such thing from the beginning of Cube Engine 1.
- Eihrul probably is having a way different vision as updating the Singleplayer-mode (with the exception of fighting against bots).
Is there a way? No, there isn't.
I hope that answered your questions.
