If you put it up full time I'd probably play on it daily, maybe bring in a few folks and such.prolix wrote:I've already got 4.8 Sven installed on our servers. It wouldn't take much but a single command to fire it back up if we want it.
The map we played last night was pretty damn good, reminded me a lot of TFC but with more op classes
There aren't many left nowadays sadly, although Misfire's server has the original HL deathmatch maps set up so you can do pvp, which is pretty fun.Chaos Wake wrote:Awesome. It would be nice to have it running full time eventually though. Maybe we can run more playtests and SC nights and see how that goes.
Also hell yeah on the map, I didn't even know such a thing was possible in Sven Coop. It kind of changes my perspective on the game, if thats possible then I can't imagine what else is. My main experience with Sven Coop was walkthrough maps and puzzle maps created in maybe 2003-5. I can't believe most servers and communities aren't realizing Sven Coop to its full potential.
Hahaha that sounds great.A Ninja wrote: There aren't many left nowadays sadly, although Misfire's server has the original HL deathmatch maps set up so you can do pvp, which is pretty fun.
I'd hardly say we're the only, there are still some servers with playerbases that are larger in number and more frequent that our occasional get togethers, but I'd love to change that.Chaos Wake wrote:Hahaha that sounds great.A Ninja wrote: There aren't many left nowadays sadly, although Misfire's server has the original HL deathmatch maps set up so you can do pvp, which is pretty fun.
But damn I guess that means we'd basically become the defacto gaming community of Sven Coop. That's not bad, it would sure as hell help bring in support when Sven 5.0 comes out.
Would also mean we could essentially establish new norms in the Sven world, like Tuesday's incredible innovations and playing maps that are actually from this decade hahaha. I think a lot of mappers and devs out there would be happy about their work finally having a chance to be played by a mass audience.
Cocyx the Skeleton had a server going with the AoM Director's Cut map series going 24/7, it was a ton of fun to play with folks. Sadly, it seems he got banned from the Sven Co-op forums and took it down, and the files haven't been released for public redistribution.Chaos Wake wrote:Oh yeah, I know. Just I get the impression most of them don't have the history or infrastructure(can you call a forums and server network that?) that we do. The most established recent community I think I recently found was an Afraid of Monsters server lead by a dude I used to know forever ago. I don't think they had what we had though.
Definitely, that would also help gauge what type of maps and games modes we'd want to begin with.A Ninja wrote:I think it would be cool to get an actual list going of people that have Half Life/Sven and would be down to play so I don't need to double check my friends list each time
I never knew they even had forums, or if I did I must have never given them much attention. I think I spent more time at Peanys Cafe being a ridiculous child. What's interesting is you can still see Peany and some other old Snark people log on to STEAM. I used to have Peany on my friend's list but took her off because its kind of awkward knowing someone as a 12-13 year old and then being mutal steam friends with them again as a 22 year old.Maha wrote:Oh wow, the Snark Cafe forums really are gone. Must have been kinda recent as I remember checking them out a few months ago I think, they were pretty dead though. I played on the server pretty much exclusively when Sven was super popular, pretty sure I still have all my hours saved on the server if it's still there, though I think SnarkServ is probably broken by now.
I don't think I ever made friends with anyone on the server. Like you, I was just some kid that hung around a lot at the time. :PChaos Wake wrote:Definitely, that would also help gauge what type of maps and games modes we'd want to begin with.A Ninja wrote:I think it would be cool to get an actual list going of people that have Half Life/Sven and would be down to play so I don't need to double check my friends list each time
