Sven Co-op v5.0 Progress News

[mr.solokiller]

New update:

Remember that news update we promised to deliver many weeks ago? Of course you don't, but in case you do, we are sorry. We ran out of Ritalin for our trained team of monkeys who write our news updates, and the only one who could hold his concentration long enough to write a news update was our top monkey Nih, who is writing right now. In this small update we would like to just go over a couple of the new features that are in store for 5.0. First on the table is Toon Run. Its creator Koelzk, has returned to give this beloved map series a makeover. Some areas have been reworked and some areas are completely new. And there are some pretty imaginative ideas. We're not going to spoil the entire surprise, but we are going to show you a couple of screenshots:





Next on the table is "item_inventory". This game entity can be seen in the change log we posted earlier, but we would like to introduce it a bit more. To this purpose, AdamR has recorded a video where he demonstrates some of the possible uses, seen below. We hope to be able to demonstrate how this feature can be used in a real map in our initial release.



That is all for now. We hope to be able to deliver another news update at some unspecified point in the near-to-far future. Perhaps before Christmas?.. Scratch that, let's just say near-to-far future.

Impressive! It will be nice to play a fresh version of toonrun, and the all of those uses for item_inventory are blowing my mind with the possibilities.

In case anyone's interested, i added remote control support to vehicles. You can even have both a driver and a remote controller using it at the same time!

Posting it here in case anyone's interested.

Awesome! RC racing here we go. I wonder what other possibilities this adds.

I'm excited to hear the project is still moving forward after all these years. Hopefully people will still have the same excitement as I do in terms of Sven Coop's survival

Also glad to hear about func_vehicle. I'll play when I get time.

There's still plenty of excitement to go around, in fact the old snarkcafe server was just restarted the other day, a lot of old players are coming back.

I'm not really sure how Steam Groups work but do you need permissions to post events to the group? I feel like we'd get a better draw from more people when we can announce globally when were playing.
