Creating a Sven Co-op map

[wolf-3d]

My C: is sadly full, any way around?
And, there was a ':' in "Place compiled maps in this directory before running the game."
and the "D:\Programme x86:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sven Co-op\svencoop_addon\maps instead of C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sven Co-op\svencoo\SectoreZ.map"
i really can't explain, there is no C:\Programme x86 at all.

Okay, if "C:\Programme x86" does not exist, we should be able to get it to work.
So lets try again going into Hammer, Menu->Tools, Menu->Options, Pop-up Window -> "Configure Value Hammer" and then "Game Configurations" Tab and instead of using the "Browse Button", cut and paste (including the start " and end " ) into each Field:

Game executable directory: "D:\Programme x86\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sven Co-op"
MOD Directory: "D:\Programme x86\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sven Co-op\svencoop"
Game Directoty: "D:\Programme x86\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sven Co-op\svencoop"
RMF Directory: (Where every you store your maps, you could use "D:\myOwnSvenMaps" or could use
"D:\Programme x86\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sven Co-op\svencoop\maps" )

then Move to the "Build Programs" Tab.
Game Executable: "D:\Programme x86\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sven Co-op\svencoop.exe"
CSG executable: "D:\Programme x86\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sven Co-op SDK\mapping\compilers\SC-CSG.exe"
BSP executable: "D:\Programme x86\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sven Co-op SDK\mapping\compilers\SC-BSP.exe"
VIS executable: "D:\Programme x86\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sven Co-op SDK\mapping\compilers\SC-VIS.exe"
RAD executable: "D:\Programme x86\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sven Co-op SDK\mapping\compilers\SC-RAD.exe"
Place compiled maps in this directory before running the game: "D:\Programme x86\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sven Co-op\svencoop\maps"

Make sure you press Okay to Save these changes.
Then close Hammer and reopen Hammer to make sure it has loaded the new settings.

Open your test map and press F9 and try and compile.
(If I have not made any typing mistakes, then it should either work or you will get a different set of errors, which we can try to fix.)

@Wolf-3D

yes i have written suggestion to path problem..

I just ask you why does it happen if i want arguments of sc_csg_x64.exe "-nowadtextures" than JackHammer or Valve Hammer stopped to compile progess than prt won't write. Has compiler csg bug?

If i am creating room in -32.768 to coordinator than i play ingame if player rotates than map is black color. why does it happen?? Is itz bug? are you sure i should use compilers for x86 bett er than x64 compilers?

Thanks for understanding. If you try room from - or + 32.768 than it is happened if you rotate and you see black color of outside look.

EDIT: Check my youtube video

IDK, try to compile same map with sc-csg.exe (32 bit) and see if it makes LEAK.prt for you ?

Yes, this is Bug in SC Code/HL Engine, (or maybe compilers IDK) but the programmers will look and find the cause.

Haha i have tried compiler x32 has black color too

I found Half-Life Engine ( original goldsource engine has not problem but problem with flash light can not show after -/+32768 ( trick with delta.lst up to -/+65356 since i try to Valve Hammer Editor upto 64k from SVen Co-Op Forum. Trinidy and Half-Life Engine has not problem but maybe flashlight doesn't see nafter -/+32768

But Half-Life works fine without black color. Since i hack delta file outside of -/+32768
And Sven Co-Op can not show after -/+32768. That is why bad issus

my dear coders do not forget to write -/+32768 from HL-SDK
If your find bspfile.c / h than max_range and fulllight must be same upto -/+130712

If you try flashlight works upto -/+130712 than you need check than SC5.0 released if it is completed.

That is status is not "final" just "beta"

[svenhelp]

When I press f9 to compile the game says the map does not exist... shouldn't the output be a bsp file? I followed the instructions exactly...

[Solokiller]

Can you post the map compilation output?

[svenhelp]

I'll try to get a map compilation output later.

[Solokiller]

I've sent you a PM.

[necrocakes]

Ok, I followed the basic tutorial as linked in the article and got as far as finishing a basic hollowed out cube with a player spawn and a light in it. I proceeded to attempt to run the application and Sven Coop opens. I am then brought to a black screen, despite the light that was inserted. When I hit escape the standard menu appears and the option of resume game is present, leading me to believe that the map is running. also present in the menu is the developer console, I did my best to attempt to make sense of it but cant seem to pull out anything useful besides a single error: (Error: server failed to transmit file 'maps/soundcache/Map'). Any Ideas? I do have the ability to copy/paste the entire console if it helps.

Can you upload the RMF so I can look at it? Maybe see through that what you maybe did wrong.

Not quite sure how, If I attempt to send it as an attachment it says its an invalid file type

[TrEmPlEr]

Use Gdrive to upload stuff than free and easy to use

[DrRhubarb]

What you did is you used the AAATRIGGER texture for the walls. This texture is used for Trigger-Brush Entities and does not get shown ingame (it's invisible).

Use a different texture like plain walls and floors from the texture browser and you are good.
For more infos and help on texturing and everything you can do with it, head over to this guide: http://www.the303.org/tutorials/gold_texture.htm

[necrocakes]

Thanks, I appreciate it

[Dark The Prototype]

Got a problem related to the compilation.

when i compile the map the game says change map failed "SC_testmap" (my map's name)not found on server.

Can someome help me please? this happend to me in HL1's hammer too.

and if you need to know this i saved the map in D:/GOLDSRC_MAPS (its a folder i made)

The compilers are showing you the parameters, so that means there is something wrong in the way the parameters are set up. As you can see it mentions "Unknown option "SDK\mapping\compilers\SC-CSG_x64.exe".

Try following the info from this tutorial to set it up right:

Thing is i'm using normal mode not expert.

I think I see what it's doing wrong. This is your folder:
D:\SteamLibraryHDD\steamapps\common\Sven Co-op SDK\mapping\compilers\SC-CSG_x64.exe

And this is the error:
Unknown option "SDK\mapping\compilers\SC-CSG_x64.exe"

I think it has trouble with the space between 'Sven Co-op' and 'SDK' in that folder name. It probably thinks 'Sven Co-op' is the executable and 'SDK\mapping\compilers\SC-CSG_x64.exe' is the parameter for that executable.

Copy the compile tools to your D:/GOLDSRC_MAPS/ folder (make a folder called TOOLS) and load those into Hammer. I think that might fix the problem.

These tools date back to the late 90's where folder names with spaces and long file names could lead to problems, so maybe this is a remnant of that time.

tell me if ya need the compile process window.

[Hezus]

The detail textures are optional. More on that here: http://twhl.info/tutorial.php?id=159

The missing bitmap font is not a mapping problem. I guess there are no fonts specificaly for the 1920px resolution. Maybe it then uses 1280px or 1600px fonts. You should have that error in regular SC too. It will do no harm to your game experience.

'Warning: Unable to open maps/soundcache/SC_testmap.txt for transfer
Error: server failed to transmit file 'maps/soundcache/SC_testmap.txt'

This happens because you load the map straight from Hammer. It then starts SC in singleplayer mode, which leads to problems. Before compiling, tick the box 'Don't run the game'. Compile and wait till it's done, then manually open SC, start a new LAN server with your map and it should all work.

Ultimatly, I'd recommend you to learn how to use Expert compiling mode, so you can use useful parameters to make your maps look better or compile better.

Thanks! the map loads but its all dark. I have 2 lights on the map but i think i can fix it on my own.

Thank you once again!

[Lamar]

I'm having a similar problem: map compiles, Sven Co-Op launches, then it gets stuck on "Estabilishing network connection to server" and i get "Failed to contact game server" after a moment.

EDIT: Seems I fixed it (sort of) by changing the editor from Hammer 3.4 to Jackhammer 1.1.

I am also having the same problem and using the standard Hammer Editor. I am not online however so why would it be trying to connect to a server? All I did was follow what was in this thread and then The Whole Half Life tutorial of making a box with a player start point and a light. I have used both "info_player_start" and "info_player_deathmatch" just in case the tutorial was strictly for owning a copy of HL while this is being used through SC. Is there an easy fix for this or do I need to post a log?

Edit: There is the log, I assume it is the correct one. I just have trouble sending it due to no internet at home. If any thing else is required or if there is an easy fix, please let me know. This is completely stopping me from mapping and it is the very first thing one is suppose to do...

As I mentioned earlier in this thread: make sure you tick the 'Don't run the game' box in the compile window. If you don't, Hammer will load up the map with the '+map 'name' parameter. This will put SvenCo-op into singleplayer mode, which can lead to problems.

If you want to test your map, just compile it, then load up SC manually and start a LAN server with your map. If you want to use developer options and cheats you can set the amount of players to 1 or 2 and developer mode will be available.

Ahhh... Thank you. But now I am in a black box. For a while I thought I had no light, but I can see my hands and weapons, just not the walls and the flashlight does not seem to shine on anything, but I can hear when my crowbar hits the walls and see the smoke close to my face when I shoot the wall. I just can not see the wall themselves.

For some odd reason I can not get that texture or any other to stick to my box. I also do not see the concrete skin like the teacher in TWHL was talking about and have very few textures to start with. I assume it is a compiling issue but I will have to try at another time to properly reconfigure it and get what was posted done correctly this time if indeed that was the problem. (I have multiple test maps and not sure exactly which one had what when I posted my log, but I am for sure my light source is above my head now, if it was not properly before. I am more worried if I simply compiled something wrong and made a left turn as it were, rather than a right...)

Just to be certain, are steps 2 and 2b to go into Game Data files in the Configure Valve Hammer Editor? Also it says to add what ever wads I want, but besides zhlt.wad in compilers folder, I am not seeing much of anything.
