the mod size is a bit heavy for an Half-Life Mod : 3 Giga ...
1.2 Giga for the 474 Maps
0.9 Giga for the 1439 models
to make it easy to have fun quickly , there are three mapcycles themed with mods [220 maps], maps [180 maps] and horror [60 maps] . one is called nextmap to quickly terminate current , you can reuse it for a new time limit or others settings . the map is also used to prevent "bypass of map" , svencoop engine change nextmap il will load , when players reach map changelevel position so i added nextmap when its a serial of maps . if serial has 3 maps then mapcycle launches first and 2 nextmap , some will learn how many maps they could play if they do not reach the end of map before timelimit ;']
mapcycle_mods.txt plays maps of half-life and opposing-force "extended" with some azure-sheep and decay maps , case-closed , earthquake test center and operation black-thunder . hl campain may need to have seen half-life done quick to open closed doors ...
mapcycle_maps.txt has most of the well known and good maps of svencoop mods ; see the details of maps in maps_order.htm in the mod folder
mapcycle_horror.txt has maps that are "complete conversion" : tetris, toorun , reco...and also
the maps that need some jumping skills like in escape .
these maps-files are also having distincts config files so three servers can be launched at once , by default servers use 27006-8 27016-8 and 27026-8 ports if server is on internet open these ports .

read the readme_linux.txt to learn more about linux and setup . the -nomaster will make your server hidden from unknow players , can be useful at the begining when setting server up .
think of changing the "mp_timelimit 1" in maps_exec_*.cfg as well as the rcon password in autoexec.cfg . make the update of the password in your files for playing so you will be able to send rcon commands to server and also to update the admins.txt with your steamid .
players will not be able to play as much maps , half of them and then a crash ...
it is due to the fact that more files are loaded per maps .
there is a hl_player.bat that optional parameters to launch game , you should add : -netthread -insecure -heapsize 1310720 -num_edicts 3072 -preload -nohltv -noipx -nojoy
there is a folder : astrike_downloads because of the soundlist that is downloaded at each connection , it can have undeleted txt files in astrike_downloads\maps\soundcache , that happens if you connect to a server while it is showing scores at end of map : it forgives to delete .
you should NOT be able to download mod files from moddb page : http://www.moddb.com...trike/downloads [READ BELOW], i made two folders at Mega with files for windows and linux
the archives are the same and are made to make easier the install .
windows A-S
linux A-S
i advise to use google-chrome to download the files from this hoster .
last thing about metamod and fmodex dlls , they are latest . make backup of fmodex.dll in case this one breaks your other mod [try once if your mod support the provided dll can be a good idea, if that works ]
have good times playing that great mods with nice maps and wonderful models designed and released by many modelers , that you can find at some models forum or elsewhere ;']
BEWARE OF MODDB... this is my second post in the topic i made at steam forum
if you have hl legit , you can read about a revamped svencoop... but mine is the only one and absolutely not made by sc team of lazies
that is a day or two moddb [BEGINING OF AUGUST], has suddenly deleted my mod ....
without any warning or email : they are like that in australia ...
i wait for they reply about why they did it so long after it was published .
some of them should be ready to sell my work to steam...
hey g newell , if you want to publish it on steam that should be possible :] if you give some $$ and some work for hl3 ;']
this mod is my work only except most of the models , as you rework opposing force dll , valve should only provide the dlls for this to be "no-svencoop" at all .
australians are ♥♥♥♥ing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that act in the back , that is cool to thing they live under the ozone - hole ...that reduce their brain too nothing except working well one
once again , i am dead of laughing to see these rats having so UNC00P way of being AND TRYING TO HIDE IT . all that story had made my summer VERY GOOD ;']
in australia , they should look like in the latest hl2 speedrun ;']
always waking with the ♥♥♥ FIRST .... some should know WHY [ like me ] [beware child that is not the right way despite all these <3 <3 steam added 8"]
so i search for coder to create new dlls , mostly because the sc one are really too buggy . i am open to add others chapters in the form of mapcycle like i did with 3 already ;']
if some are very interrested i can upload the linux iso i use for my own server , like with l4d , i load all in ram , server i own is a 4 Go ram with dual core at 3Ghz : a 10 year old pc or like , but fully watercooled ;']
i would have uploaded pics of server or game , but i have only few pics of the pc i use to play , all others are off except the server . pc has 3 vga : 2 hd5970 and 1 gtx 570 , mainboard is a sabertooth x79 [that is not that great with its buggy network chip , cpu is getting very hot , that is why i use a lot of radiators : one per elements like vga , cpu , chipset .
there is a hidden radiator that is a sqaure : 3x 3x 120
i advert a bit , but i want to create a factory for computer case and watercooled pcs... in north of europe or asia ...invitations are a must for me ;']
. But i have air-condition too so it's ok. My pc has a full tower case with 7 silent fans. 3 on top, 1 big on front, 1 rear and 2 on the one side. All of them with red leds. At night it looks amazing. It's like it's on fire hahaha
