Description
Yes I like Turrican's OMG 2 map quite a lot. If you play this map you will see that. This map is kind of like it, but more orientated to my likings.
This was meant to be a piss-about type map, but I ended up adding various puzzles/challenges to unlock more secrets and bonuses. You have to do the puzzles in order. Feel free to just piss about and die a lot if you like, or explore for random (and very pointless) secrets.
There is no ending, you just have to keep DYING until the time runs out. You will know when you've reached the last area though. (Don't think you've found everything!)
This map was started out of complete boredom and a desire to practise my mapping skills. In the end it just ended up as a giant cascade of bullshit.
Starting hint: Look the other side of the pond from where you start for a special item, then check out the two places that the item lets you get to.

Known issues / requirements
This map requires Sven Co-op version 5.26 or later.
You may experience low/choppy FPS while standing on the ice tower while looking back at the mountain. This never happened on Sven Co-op 3 with default graphics settings, I'm convinced it's a high-quality graphics settings/models shipped with Sven Co-op 4+ causing this.
You may experience low/choppy FPS while looking at live monitors or mirrors. You can switch off live mode by setting CVARs "cl_monitor_disabled" and "cl_mirror_disabled" to 1 respectively. (Monitors can always be viewed in the traditional way by directly pressing your use key on them.)

Changelog

General
- Added administrator control room only accessible via the no-clip cheat or a teleportation plug-in (co-ordinates 0 0 -2048)
- Added take sprite over the 2 hookshots near the start
- Added two rocks near the spawn area to provide some cover from a player spawn killing with a laser gun
- All damage values tweaked to guarantee death when required

- Fixed clipping problems on the desks in the two towers
- Laser guns now move slower and fire less frequently to help lower repeated spawn killing
- Mini-turrets in the two towers and cave control rooms are now enemy class, usable from the administrator room, regenerate health, and away from the windows to minimize firing through them

- Water is now less transparent as I decided it was unrealistic to be so clear
- Zillions of other tiny tweaks nobody would notice

Puzzle 3
- Added sprites to inform players that bubble jets provide air
Puzzle 4

Puzzle 5

- Quicksand area is no longer straight to prevent a single long jump to bypass it
- Raised a clipping brush at the bottom of the puzzle 5 slope, to prevent fall deaths when sliding into a pit

- Compiled map with Vluzacn's ZHLT v17 (custom x64 build)

- Changed starting equipment (9mm pistol instead of 357 magnum, 0% battery instead of 25% battery)

- Made good use of "func_detail" to get the performance up a bit
- Moved some stuff around for no reason at all
- Moved the cage in the fail cave so it's directly underneath co-ordinates "0 0 0", thus moved the lava shaft aside to where the cage was

Puzzle 6
- You are now permitted to spray on the floor
- The trap floors will also show your spray (so you have to look out for them more carefully)
- Some other sneaky changes that will piss you off

I've just checked the new features and it's amazing! I'll play soon!
splendiful
thank for many reminders
Thanks,
Adam Reece.
I love maps where I discover something new every time I play. It’s packed with puzzles, traps, and mazes… and that last maze really wore me out!
Definitely a fun and memorable experience.
PS: Don’t forget to buy clothes for the young ladies in the map.
oh wow, this one. this was one of the first maps i ever played over 10 years ago! ^_^ so nostalgic, very inspiring. this is *the* quintessence of svencoop, IMHO :)
i hope you all are doing well :P
instant teleport to end room: teleport 2150 3170 -3500 thank me later

map is amazing but puzzle 6 is balls
Getting nommed too much?
Thanks,
Adam Reece.
Anyone know how to get in the private hideout? (I mean, besides the admin room)
its not admin room
admin room is 0 0 -2048
watch my video to unlock this door
(Sv boy)
do you guy know the code for the door in that code where it have lava?
You mean in the secret room with the Duckroll? That code is:
1874032596
Figured out by dying multiple times, pressing multiple numbers randomly.
lel the code is actually in the room at the coordinate (0, 0, -2048)
I play on a listen server and I'm not an admin so I can't even get there.
If you're running a listen server you will always get administrative access. Set CVAR "sv_cheats" to 2 and you can use command "teleport 0 0 -2048" to get there.
Thanks,
Adam Reece.
Oh, whoops. That was a typo. I just meant that I was playing on a regular public server… sorry for the confusion there. I'm playing on Misfire's Server (on 4.8).
On a different subject, I was told that there was a way to access the private hideout (the building with the trap roof) without the admin room. Anyone know how? Any hints or anything?
New Version Yays!
Kind Regards
