Sven Co-op Map Database

The crash at Refueling Base is fixed (not 100% sure though).

The net usage and overflows should be reduced too - much fewer ents are active at once now (~5k instead of ~8k).

Thanks, glad you like it.

There's a teleport in Tricks and Traps that opens up after you fail the platforms. It's in the entrance to the room with a bunch of Cacodemons.

If you don't have much unlocked by the time you reach The Pit, then yes it becomes a slog to beat those maps. If you 100% the maps leading up to that then you'll have enough firepower unlocked to breeze through it. It'll be hard to do that though if anyone is rushing.

Awesome job, really very nice maps.

played this with 2-3 players. A few things:
in the "trick and traps" level if you fail a jump in the exit door area the plataforms will lower and you will not be able to reach the exit and get stuck in this area, (unless i missed something.)
in the ep2 the amount of enemies increases drastically and then i started to feel the lack of weapons and ammo, this get worse in "the pit" and "refueling base" levels, where we get killet a lot due lack of ammo/strong weapons.

anyway, thanks for making this.

Love your work so far and it works so well in sven coop.
Have only played the first map solo but will play the other when I can get some coop going.
Played doom 2 to death when I was younger but is certainly still fun.

If anyone knows how to reproduce any crashes, let me know. It seems some servers are more prone to crashing than others. I'm starting to think plugins are conflicting with the map or something.

Edit: b5 has a major hammer bug (becomes unusable after destroying a part). I just re-uploaded the zip with that fixed.

That would work, but I don't wanna script monster AI from scratch just for this map. Disabling monster roaming will probably help too, at least in pvp/creative mode.

Maybe you need to script some custom monsters instead of the standard ones.

not sure if i understand but about the second elevator hurting players i will fix that soon.

I have played this map with 3 others players and the most annoying thing is the lack of ammo/weapons. Like ratman said, you can't kill them until after dying 5 times for each enemy. I had to add myself a .cfg with sniper rifle and 357 magnum. Finally we were bored after 15 mins and just stopped the game because this is not enjoyable at all.

Ok, before making my next map i'll goin to check this bugs, the elevator im not sure if you can get stuck there, i tested it before releasing it but it deserve a look.
-Climbing walls, i can't do nothing for now so i will just highlight with green all climbable walls and write it in the motd, for that i want to create a footprint texture to notice the player like the original game.
-For weapons, all are available in those strongboxes, its really easy to eliminate those HW just get close enough with your crowbar and you get almost invulnerable to their damage (a classic sven coop tactic) but i will put some ammo for the handgun but when i figure out how to create custom models, the handgun will be gone in future.
-And finally, that heavy powered tree will be eliminated!!!

Players did not firing or shooting while alien grunts spawned still fall off and death will be skipped but only 1 missed fall off down to be shot, after destroyed 1 eye elevator getting too fast but mostly it cause health damaged through the trigger with func_door celling. this func_door really slow when the health damaged to picking up heal crystal before proceed the eye room.

For servers experiencing extreme lag, the main cause appears to be from monster AI. Pings will skyrocket when a monster gets stuck behind a mountain or something. Admins can say .lag in chat when this happens to delete all monsters.

The max amount of monsters was reduced by half in this version, but even 2-3 monsters can obliterate the server.

These are most sound files paths mistakes. Added dbarrel1.wav. The missing shl_sentences sound files are not used in the maps. shl_se3.wav and shl_se4.wav are missing in the original mod. So updated with fixes. Thanks for sharing this.

Some issues.

1. I fired this up in my own local server. You only spawn with a single pistol with 17 rounds. So the only thing you can really do is die a bunch of times until you kill one of the first HW guys, then nab their weapon. We should at least be spawning with a regular machine gun with ammo drops at spawn.

2. I got stuck on the elevators that go up and down the side of the building underneath the targets. Whenever one of the elevators reached the bottom, that's when I'd get stuck.

3. Took me a minute to figure out you could climb walls, which you can do in the original Gex game, but there were quite a few deaths figuring out which walls could be climbed and which couldn't. Also, going around corners on the climbable walls was not very functional and I died a lot.

Overall it would be a nice challenge for a few players, but we need a default machine gun at spawn and those elevators need to be fixed. It was interesting to see some Gex material in this game.

Its a great map, i don't know why but i always thinked what this map was an official Half-Life map, it really feels like one just the final osprey broke that feeling. Anyway,for me this creation it's a must-play!

i played this map more than 30 times and always is really fun to play, it has a standard design but isn't feels like "ah! another go from point to point B map". One of my favorite sven coop maps for sure!

No one can even imaginated that unsuspected final LOL

I am amazed how you managed to pull this off in sven coop.
Mostly just played creative mode but will try coop more when I get a chance.

No problem once the node graph generated.
