Sven Co-op Mapping
Requirements:
(download these)
- Valve Hammer Editor (VHE) - the program used to create maps.
- Zoner's Half-Life Tools (ZHLT) - converts your map made in VHE into a playable HL .bsp map file.
- Sven Co-op 3.0 game data (.fgd) file - allows you to use Sven Co-op specific entities (npcs etc.) in your maps.
Next:
- Follow the Sven Co-op VHE Setup Guide to properly configure these tools for Sven Co-op mapping.
- Read the official Sven Co-op Map Making Information guide.
- Half-Life mapping help and tutorials can easily be found through Google searches, as well at these great resources:
- Some members of the Sven Co-op community have created excellent mapping resources, such as the #mapping IRC channel (irc://irc.us.gamesurge.net/mapping), DevEd, the Hezus Mapping Tutorials, amckern's massive index of mapping resources and tutorials, VHE Tutor, and HLMapping.net.
Once your map is complete, you can release it here and on the Sven Co-op Forums in the Map Showcase so everyone can find out about it. The community will provide plenty of constructive feedback. If your map is really really good, it might be moved to the Best of Map Showcase or even included in an official Sven Co-op release. The Sven community is always craving for new maps to play.
