Description
███████████████████████████
██████ TO: EMPLOYEE OF THE BLACKMESA RESEARCH FACILITY
██████ FROM: SECTOR H MANAGER
██████ DATE RECEIVED: 1ST MAY 200-
██████ RESTRICTED: LEVEL 5 ONLY
███████████████████████████
You have been selected for a training simulation, please report to Sector H for the meeting explaining the simulation - This months simulation is based on the resonance cascade, chosen by Dr Rosenberg. Sector C has just received the purist sample they've ever discovered and wish to conduct the experiment as soon as possible! however, even though it is highly unlikely.. the Resonance cascade simulation will be given out to our members of staff of level 5 clearance. all the classified information like the █████████████████████████████████████████████████ have been included in the simulation, we expect that ████████████████████████████ and.. unfortunately the █████████████████████████████████████████████████ may be called to ███████████████████████. however the administrator and doctor Rosenberg remain confident that this simulation will prepare all our staff in the future for a possible, but again, very unlikely scenario! sharing this information with anyone outside the clearance of level 5 will result in ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
███████████████████████████████████████████████████. Our team is waiting for you in Sector H, Good luck!
Map explanation
This map is a hardcore map, it will require a few plays to fully grasp the size and what to do - it's an escape map based on the resonance cascade that uses the inventory system to a whole new level, class system based on three occupations in blackmesa.
- Area 1 Dormitories
- Area 2 Warehousing
- Area 3 Maintenance level 2
- Area 4 Security Facilities
- Area 5 Adminstration
Each area has sub-areas such as labs, doctors wings, legal wings, server rooms and security rooms.
you will need to explore the map to fully understand the alternative pathways, routes and benefits.
The scientist monitoring the simulation will give you dialog through the map, if it becomes too much - you can use the music volume control to adjust - he uses ambient_music to allow you to turn him off.
The map also has an intro video which can be skipped - it explains the map pretty well and hints towards an obstacle.. the map has various ways to inform you about objectives, it could literally be written on the wall or revealed with an effect.. sometimes its subtle details to point you in a general direction. Signs, Billboards, even maps are around the facilities allowing you a smoother understanding of the map
███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Class explanation
You will be given the choice of four positions in the map start.
- Starts with a random handgun (Glock 17, M9 Beretta, BM Desert Eagle)
- Flashlight
- Armor
- Level 1 Security Clearance (Keypads)
- Crowbar/Pipewrench
- Toolbox (special light one)
- some armor
- Flashlight
- Level 1 maintenance (Doors)
- Can Repair Vital Locations such as shortcuts, Trams and Ammo Storage
- Screwdriver (self defense item)
- Medkit
- Flashlight
- Level 1 Research Clearance *Retina Scanners*
- Can open the Turbine Lab and Chemical Lab, even the stairwell at Dorms
- Start with nothing, be completely unprepared for the resonance cascade
- Flashlight Only
- this will probably change to random at some point
This is now a random loadout system thanks to SV BOY - you now have the possibility of up to 30+ different loadouts.
these can be extremely rewarding, to game ending. This has been modified purely to let bts_rc have the most replay ability possible.
These loadouts are subject to change depending on how the map develops over time.
███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Lighting situation
Flashlights are disabled on this map, you must use your standard flashlight and batteries to navigate vents, hallways and shafts. Some weapons like the M9 Beretta, BM Desert Eagle and Mossberg 500 have attached flashlights making them desirable weapons. Batteries drain fast - but you can share batteries with players - you will also find flares on the map, which is a great alternative to be able to use other weapons.
███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Elevator and Tram system
This map uses relative teleporters for the elevators and the tram system, this has been tested for almost 3 months - it's not perfect, but the job gets done
these elements in the map work fantastic for gameplay - however make sure to have L bound to unstuck, even though I've almost perfected the teleporters - it can't be 100% perfect, so it can still get you stuck.
███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Inventory system
You will need to fully understand the inventory system before playing the map, this map heavily uses it for a more survival experience - you are not gordon freeman, running around with a HEV suit killing everything on site. Weapons, items, and Key items all go into your inventory system, and to use them - you activate them.
this allows the following:
- To use health kits when needed - no more backtracking to a med station or a healthkit you had to run by
- To carry weapons for other players that may not have started with a weapon or been able to find a decent one
- To Carry antidotes and again, use when needed
- To prevent rushing on the map
- to add a sense of dredd rather than running out, grabbing a gun and instantly killing an enemy - you got to think about that now.
Weapons in the inventory can be activated so you get the ammo, but this will mean you have destroyed a weapon in the process. Activating duplicates needs a waiting period of around 30 seconds to a minute or it will just delete the gun. Best sharing ammo with your fellow colleagues! Toolboxes, healthkits, Antidotes, Weapons and key items all go into the inventory so you best understand it - because they all take slots and each item you take will only contribute to the slots - meaning you might have a full inventory by the time you find an important objective.
███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Monsters, Items, Weapons, Ammo spawning
All of the above, are randomly placed around the map, meaning every single playthrough of the map is different and unique each time. Key items have limited locations to avoid soft lock scenarios - but the map will have just about everything randomly placed. This will prevent rushing to a degree but also allow alot of replay ability. Some playthroughs you will find a shotgun and have zombies in the room - next you'll have a pipe and a Gonome will be hauling ass at you.
███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Difficulties
The map features various difficulties and settings, this will allow you to have the best experiences on the map and to allow more replay!
Though be advised, the difficulty goes from 0 to 100 extremely fast.
Enabled by not entering the admin room, this gamemode features no Race X, Gonomes, Various weapons have been disabled and there is no military forces.
This is to emulate half life as much as possible. It is highly recommended that you start this scenario first.
Don't be fooled by the name, this difficulty ramps up quite a bit, You will now have to deal with Race X and HECU/Blackops depending on the roll of the dice.
HECU Know how to navigate the corridors pretty well and will be a constant threat when nearby. however on relaxed mode, Shortcuts are available to the armory and warehouse from the very start allowing more fluid navigation around the map including an additional ventilation path. All weapons are enabled on this difficulty so you will be able to find the M4, M16 and Various other weapons around the facility.. even in the most bizarre locations. Checkpoints Optional
Difficulty doubles - Bosses now include a possible kingpin and Tor, HECU now have engineers and medics by default, HECU will now barricade positions and build sentries, radios and call for backup - if HECU are left alone, they will take over the entire map - best deal with them. Short cuts are shut and most of the weapons from relaxed have been removed from the pull and can only be found on special spawns. Checkpoints Optional
HECU now have Saws, Hwgrunts and are 2x more aggressive, 2x boss spawns are now available and the Gonome is now more present in stalking corridors, weapons have been reduced and you must now think before going down certain paths, a key objective has had its location moved to increase the difficulty setting. Checkpoints Not an Option
Good fucking luck
4x custom bosses
3x military insertions
no weapons, ammo or health items
you will only find melee around the map
no checkpoints available
Security guard is the only class to start with a handgun
Designed to be next to impossible.. better record it if its finished with no mods, no cfg changes and no map changes.. utter bragging rights

babe wake up new bts rc update dropped
Hell yeah~!!!

I'm trying to get the map running on a listen server for my friends but the class system doesn't seem to be working. I'm not spawning with any of the items each class is meant to have, also the flashlight being disabled isn't functioning either so it doesn't feel like the intended experience.
Not sure if this part is a bug either but the security guards I've asked to follow me don't open any of the security room doors. I love the idea of the map for the record, excited to play it!
1. are you spawning with any weapons? if not, it seems like to me you have a weapon plugin turned on. disable it for this map if it is
2. you should use security cards for security doors. the security class have it already, but for other you need to search it.
also, try to redownload and reinstall map.
Fixed it, the scripts folder has another folder called scripts inside instead of one called maps so none of the scripts were being loaded.
hmmm, seems like it's Raptor's bad, he'll fix it in the next update
Sorry about this - I've been pretty burnt out from Sven co-op atm. I've uploaded a rather sloppy link and i'll have this rectified immediately. I appreciate that it was massively inconvenient and surprised its just not been reported.
It has now been fixed.
This map is so good.
Pros of the Map:
-Perfect for solo play, but equally enjoyable with friends.
-Randomized enemies and item placements offer fantastic replay value.
-Adjustable difficulty with diverse enemies and paths keeps the gameplay fresh.
-Encourages teamwork, making it ideal for cooperative play.
-Unique inventory and flashlight system adds a fresh challenge.
Cons of the Map:
-Lengthy playthroughs—my first run took around 1 hour and 34 minutes, which is impressive, but may not suit everyone.
-Isn't a quick play, especially for harder difficulties.
-The difficulty is quite high from the start, even with the "relaxed" setting.
-Respawning can take a while, but it’s fun to watch your teammates fall to a pitdrone!
Overall: 9/10 – A great map that’s challenging, engaging, and promotes cooperation, with a few minor drawbacks.
So, what does toolbox use for? and antidotes?
And I can't find some level 1 research card around on map when I need, especially when no one chooses the research class.
1. Toolbox is used to repair the generator to fix the crane to access the gear for the bridge
2. anti-dotes are on the map to remove the poison side effect stukabats give you.
3. level 1 research card is a place holder for an eye - no eye models in sven unfortunately. You can use a scientist from each area and take them to retina scanners and they will use them. if nobody chooses the class then the area is not accessible. it is not required to complete the map.
I will add a level 1 research card on the map, but it wont be immediately accessible
There are couple times our party can't find admin key.
We searched top to bottom at security hub and office room hub.
Including destroy all corpses on those areas.
Or do you gonna say we need to go dormitories and warehousing and find it?
All of the area 4 and 5 objectives can be found in those areas, and vice versa for Area 1 and 2
The administrators key (reception key) can be found downstairs in area 4 - it has two spawn locations and there hasnt been any reports of it despawning - if someone has picked up it and died - it will respawn without its indicator - make sure to check the offices and chemical lab location for the key
You only need to start travelling between all the areas when more or less looking for resources such as ammo, armour and toolkits - I didnt want to cause too much backtracking as its already bad enough as i'm sure you'd agree
just make sure to look for white icons on items, as that is a nice indicator for key items that are needed to progress
if you still have any issues, jump onto the sven coop discord and message in the bts-rc map showcase threat
I am however going to update the map in the next couple of days with additional sprites and indicators for all objectives and items - as the current build is very difficult to understand without multiple playthroughs. I also took into consideration your comment regarding the toolbox question asking what it was actually for and have added an additional couple of objectives requiring that item (most of them optional) as you did make me realise that it is almost useless.
We found the admin key.
But sometimes many glasses won't break with 1 hit and that make us hard
to find which one bulletproof or not.
Why is it still not BOMS? It's an amazing map actually!
