Sven Co-op: Pleasing Taste, Some Monsterism

The Turret Fortress Released!
27 January, 2011 | by Sven Viking

Nih has just released The Turret Fortress -- a highly unique map which he's been working on for more than a year.

Players must fend off 12 waves of monsters by constructing sentry turrets and a few "special" friendly units. The players save up for these sentries and special units by killing the attacking monsters and surviving waves. If too many monsters make it to the end of the map, the players lose.

Just to make life even harder for the players, random "Panic Events" will occur throughout the map. Such panic events could involve hostile soldiers infiltrating the base and installing a virus in the Turret AI, or the generators powering the sentries breaking down.

TrEmPlEr's long-awaited, massive Propanic map has finally been released!

As the map pushes the Goldsrc engine to its limits, he warns that there may be some issues on dedicated servers. Click Here for full details and download links!

On another subject, anyone experiencing low framerates in Sven Co-op 4.5 should check out the excellent Low-Def Models Pack made by WAR_Nuker & Tuesday's Avenger.

Also, we once again received an honourable mention in ModDB's Mod of the Year awards, despite not campaigning for it in any way. Thanks to everyone who voted for us!!

Hi everyone!

We've recently setup a dedicated server for Radiation, the upcoming Official Sven Co-op Mapping Community website. After a long slumber, we have finally resumed development on the project.

Right now, we're in need of staff members to assist us in creating content. Map reviews, tutorials, entity information, articles, and more will be available. In addition to providing information for the community, we will also need moderators to keep things in check on the website. If you have a good understanding of the mod as well as good writing skills, please apply to jobs@svencoop.com.

In addition to content provided by us, the website will also allow any person to "showcase" their own Sven Co-op related maps, models, textures, or prefabs for the entire community to see.

We'd love to hear what you are looking forward to most, or what you think the website should have. The website's set of features have been planned out in full, but if there are better ideas, we might sneak them in.

Thanks and have a Happy New Year!
