Mounts Needed : ep1 ep2

Description : You start on the surface where you have to make your way down to the bottom level of the hive and destroy the super computer then return to surface. There are 3 levels all accessed by the master lift in the centre and each level must be completed in order to reach the bottom.. This map was originally made for Synergy 1 but has now been converted to work in Synergy OB.

winzip 12?

Is this the same version as was last posted in the WIP thread?

If so, can I just say that overall it's pretty awesome, but haven't completed it yet for a combination of two reasons:
1. Occasioanlly the main lift gets completeley fucked up.
2. It's victim to some pretty regular client crashes. Don't get any error messages, but it feels a lot like what syn_seven_hour_war gets.

Haven't had any problems with the lift myself. Not sure if its entities I used may have a problem with the OB engine, as I did build this in ep1 and just convert a few things to make it run. I compiled in ep1 Hammer because the new versions of OB compile tools made the level 32MB? before I had even added my models and custom textures. It could be the cause of both these and TIM3PORT`s error..

If anyone thinks this is the problem and don't mind the map size increase from 25MB to 37MB then I can re compile it in OB Hammer..?

My Synergy Client crashes everytime i've run through this map, usually a memory error, even if i'm just playing Solo.
If there's anything else you could try w/ it to avoid that problem i'd really like to be able to finish this map, was looking forward to playing it.

Didn't ge it at all with the beta version is the odd thing. You wuldn't get the lift problem playing by yourself - its when you get multiple people and they start dropping weapons in weird places and so on.

All I did was remove some npcs from the beta so I don't know what has gone wrong.

If weapons are dropped in the lift they fall through the lift floor or get stuck in the lift brushes. how do I fix that?

Does this happen at random or at once place in the map?

when you played solo did you copying the map to ep2 or ep1 and run it single player to see if could be Synergy?

It usually happens in about the same spots, its either right at the start outside the door or when you go underground and enter in that area w/ the Combine Soilders for the first time.

I haven't tried to copy it over yet since I never have any other problems with the other maps or mods w/ Synergy.

this map cant be downloaded, i have no idea why
maybe it HUGE size ?
make a bz2 in the newt update ?

can you please explain yourself a little better? are you having problem opening the file or getting the file to your clients after it's already been added to your server?
bz2 files are using on web servers for fast download purposes so i'm thinking you have a fast download server and that is what is giving you a problem with the download.

[janvier1985]

well if we put a map on the server it will be downloaded by all players
but i dont have sv_allowdownload on, but still ppl can download maps

and i have uploaded my map to the server

Just tried the map on CM`s server and I did crash twice but not at the points you did, It seem to happen at random but most of the time it was ok. I didn't get to complete the level because the map changed but I got just after the white medical room. The error I got was a memory error, not sure how or what to fix.

It's the same crash as you get on sevenhourwar,a s far as I can tell. It seems to mostly happen when entering a new area.
Weird that the map changed if people were on and playing though on my server. Guess they could have RTVed.

Edit: also, I get errors in the zip you have uploaded to the forums in winrar and 7zip - can't extract the maps.

edit2: A bit of ammo witht he guns you spawn with would be nice too.

[DammittLC]

winzip 12?

I was using winrar to extract. Downloaded / installed winzip 12 and it worked thx


Great map BotoxBrain! Cant wait till I grab a few buddies to play =D

must be someone here who knows what causes the error.. ?


The zip was not made by me, I could only upload 4Mb files .. jonnyquattro must have made it.. its winzip 12 so winrar don't like it..

I was ok for ammo.. just make every shot count ;-)
