Sven Co-op Map Database

I haven't the faintest clue what you're trying to say.
There is no n1a8b map. There never was a n1a8b map. The map transition is n1a7c -> n1a8 -> n1a9.
Good day.

Most TFC maps of this nature were quite brutal and unforgiving. :) They just didn't have survival mode to enforce it.

I'm also in favor of using the creation date instead of the port/ripent date. Using the port date implies to me that it's something no one has ever seen before. The map showing in the "Recent additions" list is enough to indicate that it's something new to try.

It'd be nice to have a separate feed for map updates, too. I guess that'd be complicated to do in wikidot, and probably why multiple year tags are sometimes used.

Right? That was a miracle, I thought. Probably, I remembered you were like the last stand during the boss fight. lol

By comparing this map and "K_TheGame", The Artifact is way strict and cruel with both Survival enabled and disabled. Once Survival is disabled, you die = you run back to a very long path. Survival is enabled = high chance of ragequit from co-op players.

I remember there was a run.bsp and run2.bsp. Where are they? Am I confused?

Thanks for your feedback.

I've been using the original build date in the tag, but specify in the conversion changelog at the bottom of the page the date I published (that version of) the conversion.

In regards 7zip as I was forced into it to reducing costs of SCC I implemented a video of how to install and then extract the files using it.
Didn't see many people complaining.

I'd prefer it if the map was tagged the year the map was built and not when published but I've been told to tag them for the latter reason so I've just stuck with it, but I make sure to include both dates of when the original mod was released and the date that the conversion was published at the top of the page

I think the original build date, not conversion date, would be best. Just to show off how ancient the things are and then look in the mirror and realise you too are ancient, then go cry in the corner

Regarding WAV audio:
Sure OGG is officially lossy, but the format wasn't designed by monkeys. Using the top quality option you're not going to get any noticeable loss by 99%+ of the player base. I've read on many occasions that OGG's quality can often be compared with MP3 in that it requires half the bitrate for the same quality. (320 Kbps MP3 approximates to a 160 Kbps OGG)
FLAC is fully supported by FMOD, this is my prime format choice. At the top (slowest) efficiency option I typically find a WAV will end up at approximately half the size after encoding.

I think it may be time to consider moving funds elsewhere anyway.

Going on from my thread about issues logging in I've since been informed that the owners of WikiDot have rather abandoned the platform for some years now.

This is not a free platform. I think it's outrageous to be paying a subscription to a service that doesn't include seriously basic maintenance. It would perhaps be best to look into a self-hosted option with a self-maintainable platform like MediaWiki. You're paying €20/month, which could get you a very good shared hosting plan. For a quarter of that you could have the site's requirements covered at Hetzner.

Can I get a solid answer on map year tags? There appears to be difference in opinion particularly among myself, @cold_blood3d, @w00tguy123, and @Dynamte.

Particularly for conversions. Look at the 6 maps I've converted with the TFC tag.

• Artifact: Originally built in 2003, converted to SC in 2020
• The Game (Kristine Edition): Originally built in 2001, converted to SC in 2020
• The Game 2 (Kristine Edition): Originally built in 2002, converted to SC in 2020
• The Climb 1: Originally built in 2003, converted to SC in 2019
• The Climb 2: Originally built in 2003, converted to SC in 2019
• The Climb 3: Originally built in 2010, converted to SC in 2019

There appears to be flip flopping going on with the year tag. I first thought that the year of conversion release should be used, but that got changed to the year of original build for The Climb maps, which is fine by me. Going by year of original build appears to follow suit with all other TFC ports with the exception of The Cube, which I know was originally 2004 or close to that, not 2009.

I don't really care which way around it is. Just looking for consistency. — Right now the consistent way would be to use the original build year, though if that's wrong let's update all conversions to get consistent on year of conversion and continue from there.

This is a community Wiki. Anyone is allowed to contribute, and very welcome to submit corrections to misinformation.

This map was converted well over a decade ago, before Sven Co-op included any TFC resources.
(The archive should be edited to remove duplicate resources.)

How did we just beat both K_TheGame's with survival mode, but somehow messed this one up right at the end..?

This IS doable, but ruddy hard, and requires a LOT of good co-operation.

A group of us just completed it today IN ONE RUN. I think our biggest mess up was near the start too with the beams in the test chamber.

Alright, I just solo'd it with cl_noclip then followed your guides and thankfully it worked.
Thank you very much. ^^

Once you activate the NOMAD console you're supposed to go back to the bottom of that main stairwell into the laboratory. The voice asks you to turn on the power, "Smithers went down there and never came back".

You're then meant to go to the stairwell where a thin "1" door has opened. This was the door you heard a Barney and scientist argue earlier then get killed. Break a manhole cover then go down to a rotary jumping challenge, where the generator is at the other end.

Once that's on you'll here the scientist say "Excellent, someone has restored all power", after which the final door to the portal room opens.

Chrome since version 80 and Firefox since version 60 introduced a cookie privacy feature, "SameSite", which in short means that the authentication cookie WikiDot uses does not work cross-domain from "wikidot.com" to "scmapdb.com".

tl;dr: Temporarily use EDGE to work around this problem. (Other browsers may also work, not got Safari to test that.)

TOR will also fail as that's based on Firefox.

We could work around this issue at a site level by temporarily reversing the redirect from "scmapdb.wikidot.com" to "scmapdb.com", so that we enforce NOT using our custom domain name, or just temporarily disable the redirect.

Otherwise this issue needs to be pressured on WikiDot, as after all this site is a paid service. WikiDot have created an issue for this, but annoyingly left it at medium priority: https://scuttle.atlassian.net/browse/WDBUGS-9
This should be a serious priority… Also annoying that nobody outside WikiDot is allowed to comment on the issue. We can do so here though: http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-13660089/i-can-t-login-scpwiki
(I've put my thoughts there given this is a Pro Plus subscription. Not an acceptable time scale!)
