Description

Yes I like OMG 2 a lot. If you play this map you will see that. This map is kind of like it, but more orientated to my likings.

This was meant to be a piss-about type map, but I ended up adding various puzzles/challenges to unlock more secrets and bonuses. You have to do the puzzles in order. Feel free to just piss about and die a lot if you like.

Starting hint: look the other side of the pond from where you start for a special item, then check out the two places that the item lets you get to.

There is no ending, you just have to keep DYING until the time runs out. You will know when you've reached the awesome people only room though.

This map was started out of complete boredom and a desire to practise my mapping skills.

Pro tip: the "reset sound" button at the start restarts all ambient sounds for all players, except radio music as they have their own buttons. Use this if ambient sounds sound a bit odd (this reset action also occurs whenever a player respawns).

Additional info

A discussion of this map is also available on the Sven Co-op forums here. It also contains a list of what AdamR requires to help complete the map, if you're feeling generous.

Known Issues

You can see green blocks through the sky near the bottom of the map (under the desert islands), and the lava underneath the fail cave. This is due to a model limit as many blocks are grouped as one entity, or the entitiy is just big. There was some CVAR you could change to fix this, but I forgot what it was.

You may experience low/choppy FPS while standing on the ice tower while looking back at the mountain. This never happened on Sven Co-op 3 with default graphics settings, I'm convinced it's a high-quality graphics setting shipped with Sven Co-op 4 causing this. Please let me know if you find out what it is.
