Сколько игр и модификаций по вселенной Half-life только не придумали. Каждая такая игра или мод дает возможность опять возвратиться в тот атмосферный и незабываемый мир.
Перед нами уже полноценный Action / Shooter с кооперативным режимом, официально вышедший как отдельная игра в Steam. После долгих скитаний в качестве мода, после всех его доработок, руководитель команды Sven Co-op Team решил отправить свое детище прямиком в Valve, а они официально дали разрешение на выпуск.
Суть игры заключается в кооперативном прохождении миссий на знакомых по оригинальной Half-life локациях. Вместе с друзьями предстоит выполнять определенные задачи, например: сдержать атаку, включить какой-то рубильник и, конечно же, вместе решать головоломки. Финальной целью может стать и банальное достижение конца уровня (или его зачистка).
В отличии от оригинальной игры, здесь есть индикаторы здоровья как у врагов, так и у союзников. Есть система "High Score", дабы не было скучно. Появилась возможность полноценного взаимодействия с NPC. Кроме того, своих товарищей можно лечить.
Что касается вооружения - оно осталось такое же, как и в оригинальной HL. Все модели оружия, монстры и персонажи остались практически без изменений. Серьезная работа была проведена разве что над сложностью, чтобы было интересно играть вместе.
Итого мы имеем: возможность пройти Half-Life в кооперативе (без багов, что важно), кастомные карты, отличную кооперацию между игроками, и все это - бесплатно.
Sven Co-op - это кооперативный мультиплеерный мод 2011 года для Half-Life . Сам игровой процесс очень прост, нужно бегать по картам, и выполнять задания типа: отбить атаку, выжить, а иногда и пройти кампанию или решить головоломку. Есть так же фан-карты, где можно отдохнуть от перестрелок и повеселиться с друзьями.

Оружие и монстры
Из большого арсенала оружия нам предлагают взять старые добрые пушки из Half-Life "a и Opposing Force"a с новыми моделями, а так же новые, такие как: Двойные узи, Электролом, Миниган, Аптечка и другие.
Противники в Sven Co-op"e всё те же, знакомые нам по вселенной Half-Life и Half-life Opposing Force (расса Xen, работники Черной Мезы, спецназ, турели и военная техника).
В целом игра очень классная, особенно если играть с напарниками, поэтому советую всем попробовать сыграть. На данный момент новейшая версия - это 4.6

Наличие Half-Life или Steam необязательно
На последок - геймплейное видео (не мое):
Sven Co-op (обычно сокращается как SC ) - это кооперативная модификация для шутера от первого лица Half-Life , где игроки должны сражаться с NPC, контролируемыми искусственным интеллектом, решать головоломки и выполнять другие задачи в команде.
Первая версия мода была написана и выпущена Даниэлем «Sven Viking» Фироном как небольшая модификация с двумя синглплеерными картами и NPC, перепрограммированными для мультиплеерной игры (с помощью изменения CVAR). Sven Co-op был выпущен 19 января 1999 года, перед Team Fortress Classic от самих Valve и доказал, что моддинг оригинального Half-Life ещё существует и даже развивается. С тех пор Sven co-op превратился в полномасштабную модификацию, у него большая команда разработчиков, он является популярным товаром на Steam.

Геймплей
Поскольку Sven Co-op в значительной мере основан на оригинальном Half-Life, игроку в него желательно быть знакомым с геймплеем и управлением оригинала, а также пройти его учебный «тренировочный курс». Sven Co-op поддерживает синглплеер Half-Life, но слегка меняет его для улучшения кооперативной составляющей игры.
Уровни Sven Co-op разделены по миссиям и обычно отделены друг от друга. Многие миссии охватывают несколько карт, некоторые из них сведены в серию. Целью большинства уровней является нахождение выхода или выполнение некого задания - набирание очков за убийства не приоритетно. Карты выполнены в стилистике Чёрной мезы, Второй мировой войны, современной городской войны, мультяшных и фантастических миров, а также множества других тематик. Это создаёт очень разнообразный игровой мир, так как большинство игр исполнено в одной теме и временном периоде.
Основные особенности
- Информационная система враг/игрок отображает информацию об NPC и монстрах, попавших в поле зрения игрока (для монстров эту возможность можно отключить, ради реализма)
- Мапперы (создатели новых карт) теперь могут создавать «союзных» монстров для помощи как отдельным игрокам, так и командам; также расширены их возможности по изменению моделей и звуков NPC и оружия
- Возможность изменить многие параметры игры, прописав в специальном .cfg (конфигурационном) файле: игровую физику (плотность среды, скорость ходьбы, высоту прыжков…), восстановление (респаун ) оружия, повреждение оружия и NPC в определённых местах карты
- Медицинская «пушка», использующаяся для лечения и даже возрождения союзных игроков и NPC
- Значительное улучшение оригинального ИИ
This section will guide you through the basic installation of Sven Co-op"s dedicated server.

Which package is right for me?
Our dedicated server package comes in two forms both with different benefits. One is distributed to you through your Steam client (the same application you use to launch games in Steam) as a tool, and the other is distributed through Steam"s console client (SteamCMD ) as a standalone application.
Here are the basic differences and benefits of them both:
| Steam tool | Standalone application |

Once you have chosen a package follow the instructions for the or .
Installation: Steam tool
Our dedicated server package in Steam will allow you to effortlessly install a server attached to your Steam account. It"s quick, easy, and should be up and running as fast as you can download it. This is an ideal approach for temporary / part-time servers. You will require a valid installation of Sven Co-op to continue.
Instructions are as follows:
- Launch Steam and log in.
- In the main Steam screen hover over Library and click Tools .
- Scroll down the list of available tools until you see Sven Co-op Dedicated Server .
- Double-click the package to install it.
- Follow the on-screen installation.
That is it. You should now have the dedicated server tool ready to launch. Double-click the tool in the library and select Play Sven Co-op Dedicated Server to launch a server with a .
Installation: Standalone application
Our dedicated server package is also available as a standalone package available via the SteamCMD tool. Though it requires further knowledge to install and use you will benefit from a server that doesn"t depend on your Steam client, can be run as a console application, and even be run as an unattended system service. Permanent / full-time servers should opt for this approach. You will also NOT require an existing Sven Co-op installation to continue.
Instructions are as follows:
Once it has finished you can use the SvenDS.exe executable to launch a server. Launching without any arguments will start it with a , or if you specify the -console argument it will start with a .
The same command is used to update the server application too, however be sure you have no server instances running or the update will fail.
Starting a server: Graphical
To start a server with a graphical interface simply launch the Sven Co-op Dedicated Server tool in your Steam tools library (for Steam tool installations) or launch the SvenDS.exe executable (for standalone application installations). You will be presented with a small form asking for some options.
Once you"re ready click Start Server , it will take a moment to begin. All of these options will be remembered for the next time you start a server.
You will then (hopefully) be presented with a larger form depicting a tabbed management interface for your game server.
- The Main
tab tells you a bit about your server (which game, how many players are on, how long it"s been running) along with changing some basic settings:
- Server Name , Network , and RCON Password As in the launch options form.
- Map : Immediately change to a new map from a list.
- Player Password : Allows you to set (or unset) a password required for players to join your server (making your server private).
- Map Cycle : A graphical tool to build a map cycle to run on your server.
- The Configure tab allows you to change a broader set of options. Not all of these will be saved after you start a new server.
- The Statistics tab shows you a graph about how well your server is performing such as CPU load, frame rate (tick rate), and network data.
- The Players tab shows you a list of players currently connected, some information about them, and the ability to kick/ban players.
- The Bans tab shows you a list of currently banned players and IP addresses, editing the bans list, and importing/exporting the list to a file for backup.
- The Console tab shows you a simple textual representation what is happening on your server, along with the ability to submit commands to your server. You will need to look at this output if you need to find out why something has gone wrong. Avoid entering any commands you aren"t sure of what they will do, particularly those given to you by other people you don"t fully trust.
There is really little more I can tell you about running a server in graphical mode. You can close it down any time you like, then any players connected will be returned to the main menu with a message that the server is shutting down.
Starting a server: Console
This option is only available to the standalone application. You will need to open a command prompt or terminal environment on your system then change the working directory to your Sven Co-op dedicated server installtion (usually C:\SvenDS ).
Next you need to build a command to launch your server. The following list of arguments and parameters will determine how your server starts. Be sure to split them up with a space. Pay attention to those beginning with a hyphen (arguments) and those beginning with a plus (parameter), as they will not work with the wrong symbol. Sections highlighted before the colon are the parts you type, and underlined sections are parts you change.
Here is a simple example to start an 8-player server on map stadium4 listening on port 27015 with logging enabled:
SvenDS -console -port 27015 +maxplayers 8 +map stadium4 +log on
Configuration
Once you have got your first server running you will likely want to change the configuration of it in a way that it"s saved permanently, and across map changes.
We will focus on just the basic configuration options here found in the default server.cfg file. Edit this file with a plain text editor (like Notepad or nano). You can modify this file while your server is running, then any saved changes will take effect on the next map.
| Setting | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| hostname | Sven Co-op v5.0 server | The name of your server as players see it. This line comes first to minimize the chance of your server appearing as the default name Sven Co-op . Try to limit yourself to 40 characters on this. |
| log | on | Switch on logging of events on your server. There is little reason to turn this off unless you don"t require logs. I recommend you specify this in your command parameters instead to lower the number of log files created. |
| rcon_password | Empty | Password used for accessing the server console remotely. Use a password strength meter to help you build a good password. Only your trusted server administrators should know this as it allows unlimited access to your game server. If you leave this blank, remote console access will not be available (don"t worry -- it won"t allow everyone to use RCON without a password). |
| sv_password | Empty | Password used for players to join your server. Leave blank if your server is public. |
| sys_ticrate | 128 | The maximum number of frames/second your server will process. We have discovered that setting this using base 16 increments (64, 128, 256, etc) provides a smoother base 10 tick rate (50, 100, 200, etc) than setting the number at base 10 directly. Setting this above roughly 250 is ridiculously stupid, and your players will just complain about lag when your server fills up. Frame rates too high will also have a negative effect on physics and NPC movement, and extreme frame rates (over 500) will cause many brush entities to cause crush damage when nothing is blocking them. |
| deathmatch | 1 | This is essential for the intended game play of Sven Co-op. Do not change this, and do not use the coop setting. |
| decalfrequency | 30 | The time (seconds) a player must wait before making their spray again. 0 will remove this delay, but is not recommended. |
| hpk_maxsize | 2 | The size limit (megabytes) of the file that stores uploaded sprays. The oldest sprays are removed to make way for new sprays. |
| pausable | 0 | Determines whether the game on your server can be paused by anyone. This is never recommended on public servers. |
| sv_allowdownload | 1 | Allow players to download custom content from your server. |
| sv_allowupload | 1 | Allow players to send custom sprays to your server. |
| sv_region | 255 | The region your server is in. This is used in Steam"s server browser, so players can look for servers near by.
|
| sv_voicecodec | voice_speex | The voice codec to use. Currently only voice_miles and voice_speex are available. There is no reason to revert to voice_miles as the quality is terrible, and throughput consumption is more than double used by voice_speex . |
| sv_voicequality | 5 | The voice quality for voice_speex
.
|
| sv_voiceenable | 1 | Allow players to use voice communication. |
| mp_notimelimit | 0 | Disable a map"s mp_timelimit setting allowing it to run indefinitely. The map can still end on empty servers due to mp_timelimit_empty . |
| mp_telefrag | 1 | Players will kill someone if they are teleported inside them. Disabling this will result in players piling up inside each other unable to move. |
| mp_timelimit | 60 | Map changes after this amount of time (minutes) if the map hasn"t been completed already. |
| mp_timelimit_empty | 10 | Automatically end the map and move on to the next if the server has been empty for this many minutes (stops maps setting infinite time limits on empty servers). Set to 0 to disable this feature. |
| mp_weaponstay | 1 | Weapons can be picked up multiple times, with the exception of miniguns. Disabling this will result in a couple of players taking all the weapons leaving others with nothing. |
| exec | banned.cfg | Loads the list of banned Steam IDs. |
| exec | listip.cfg | Loads the list of banned IP addresses. |

Connectivity
Once you have got your server up and running and you want players to connect to it over the Internet it is likely that your server will be behind a firewall, a router with a firewall, or a router using network address translation (NAT). This is likely to mean you will require some additional configuration of one or more of these in order to make your server world visible.
The most likely scenario particularly for game servers at residential properties is a router using network address translation. This is where one public IP address is assigned to a NAT router at home, of which is then shared between one or more computers/devices using a private address network. The easiest way to determine if this is the case for you is to do the following:
- Open a command prompt or terminal environment on your system.
- Submit command: ipconfig (on Windows) or ifconfig (on Linux).
- Take note of the numbers to the right of the IPv4 Address row.
Ignore any network device that shows one of these address ranges, because they are not connected to the Internet anyway:
- 0 .0-255.0-255.1-254.
- 127 .0-255.0-255.1-254.
- 169.254 .0-255.1-254.
Check if your IPv4 address is within the following ranges:
- 10 .0-255.0-255.1-254.
- 172 .16-31 .0-255.1-254.
- 192 .168 .0-255.1-254.
If this is the case you are definitely behind a router using NAT. You will need to configure port forwarding on your router in order to make your game server world visible. Because there are literally thousands of different home router models worldwide we are not going to guide you on how to do this. Instead visit www.portforward.com to find a set of instructions specific to your router. You will also need administrative permission on your router in order to make this adjustment, so if it isn"t yours ask for permission first.
Our server application only uses the following transport ports. You can amend these using the corresponding command line parameter.
| Port | Protocol | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 27015 | UDP | -port | Game & content transfers traffic |
| 27015 | TCP | -port | Remote console (RCON) traffic |
| 26900 | UDP | -sport | Valve anti-cheat (VAC) service traffic (auto-increments from default if taken to the next available port) |
Installing custom maps
Your players will inevitably get bored with the official set of maps provided. You will almost certainly want to install some of the many additional maps around to improve the experience of your game server.
Installing custom maps is a simple process providing map artists follow the map distribution guidelines . You will have downloaded a map as a file containing the map contents typically as a ZIP , RAR , or 7Z archive. Maps are rarely distribute maps as a standalone BSP file or as a bunch of unpacked files.
Advanced topics
This page only covers the basic installation and configuration of a single server. Our advanced topics guide covers a range of more in-depth tasks such as configuration profiling (running multiple servers on a single installation), running a server as a system service, and setting up a fast in-game content server.
