sc_stalklab is a modification of stalklab, originally designed for HLDM. The map "stalklab" was created by Machine and converted to Sven Co-op by me.
Lore: After the Black Mesa incident, a private scientific group acquired an extremely strange and unique Chumtoad. The mission is simple: rescue that specimen. However, the lab is infested with aliens, and it seems that the military has infiltrated as well. Another scientific group sent some of its scientists to rescue the specimen.
Technical Lore: All of this started as a test map for Sven Co-op but ended up going public. The original map was created in 2022-2023; I don't remember exactly. I began this modification on January 1, 2024, and every day, I made some changes.
Compilation parameters used:
csg: -high -cliptype precise -chart -estimate -verbose -wadautodetect -wadinclude Opfor -wadinclude barney -wadinclude jp_dev -wadinclude nw -wadinclude nw_xeno -wadinclude op4ctf
bsp: -high -chart -estimate -verbose -maxnodesize 1024
vis: -high -full -chart -estimate -verbose
rad: -high -extra -chart -estimate -verbose -dscale 1 -blur 1.0 -compress 0 -rgbcompress 0 -notexscale -texlightgap 15.0
Possible issues: Because I'm not a professional mapper, this map might have some problems, whether aesthetic or serious. I decided to release this as beta because it's known that it's not finished yet. Although the map was tested by several people, a bug could still appear.
