Sven Co-op Mapping Contest (HL1) Created 15 years ago2009-06-08 15:50:44 UTC by JPolito

Greetings old chaps. I'm simply here to announce that the Half-Life 1 modification known as Sven Co-op is holding a mapping contest. Apart from general quality, the main criteria is that maps be unique and unconventional.

Three grand prize winners will be chosen, and will be awarded the following prizes:

1st: $70 USD OR Up to $70 USD worth of Steam gifts
2nd: $50 USD OR Up to $50 USD worth of Steam gifts
3rd: $35 USD OR Up to $35 USD worth of Steam gifts

All three grand prize winners will also receive an official Sven Co-op T-shirt and the opportunity to have their maps included with the next version of Sven Co-op. All other qualifying entries will be released in an official map pack.

So, if any of you are interested, see the Sven Co-op site for rules and entry details.

Thanks~

Heh. I was just looking at this on Moddb.

Shame I still can't map for goldsource.

Buy a $100 laptop and map on it.

I don't have that kind of money. Also, US Dollars are pretty useless over here.

I'll enter as long as you rig it, broski.

I'll enter something. I guess i should start playing the game so i can understand how to map for it?

YOU MAP ON THAT KIND OF SHIT, UNDERSTAND ME ?!!?!?!

1st: $70 USD OR Up to $70 USD worth of Steam gifts

Fuck yeah, I'm up for this. I'll just need to ... change the ati video card with an Nvidia one :(.

There's actually a few fixes for using Hammer with ATI cards.

One method is to install the OMEGA version of the drivers. See here: http://www.svencoop.com/forums/showpost.php?p=426743&postcount=54

Another method is to download the 7.08 drivers (I have them hosted here: http://jpolito.zlique.org/files/7-8_xp32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_50960-%5bguru3d%5d.rar ), unpack them, and navigate to C:\ATI\SUPPORT\7-8_xp32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_50960\Driver\Driver\XP_INF\B_51322\ (Location may vary, depending on where you installed the driver installation files for 7.08 drivers). Copy atioglxx.dl_ and paste it into the same folder as your hammer EXE file, and rename it to atioglxx.dll. Open Hammer, and you should be able to select things in the 3D view again. The only issue is that the 3D view will travel ultra slow when you have 'textured' mode enabled. Try flatshaded and it will work smoothly again.

Older drivers won't work on my HD4850 ... it works, if I copy that atioglxx.dll in the hammer directory, but I have like ... 5 fps in the 3D window.
I never tried the omega drivers, and I'm afraid to try
I would only try that if it's up to date ...

Sadly it doesn't look like Omega has any drivers for the HD4k series. Good luck setting up an alternate computer, or whatever it is you plan on doing.

MY plan is to take out Hd4800, and put in the Nvidia GS7600 which is 50 cm far from me. But you know, I just don't want to change video cards whenever I want to use this or that program.

YOU MAP ON THAT KIND OF SHIT, UNDERSTAND ME ?!!?!?!

No, I don't. But I did imagine Jim Carrey yelling that.

Hmmm if only i played sven co-op.

What a coincidence!! I just started my map last night.. wont release too many details on it right now.. but it will be a classy looking fun map based around a small shopping center

That may spark some interest in a few of you guys.
