Since I asked peeps to recommend both games and times we can all play together...folks seem to be waiting for me to take the first step...I'll do so.

Synergy...tomorrow, Wednesday, October 22 @ 8:00 PM eastern. I've always had fun playing this with folks. It's been a while. We'll go till about midnight eastern. Cool

Make sure you have the 1.1 installer...you can find the game and links on Steam. You'll need to have HL2 installed to play this. For those not in the know, the mod is free if you have HL2. Cooperative play on custom maps and any HL2 map including Episodes 1 & 2.

See ya there. Smile

This server is using an older protocol ( 7 ) than your client ( 14 ).

So, uh, Chips. Ya know that like a few weeks ago, they've been releasing newer versions of source mods, including synergy, via Steam?

It wasn't that long ago (a couple of weeks?) that I checked for an update to this. I didn't realize there was a new version. Embarassed

Played a couple of maps with a guy named CP...then a few more with some other guy from Seattle...can't remember his name. Apparently, they hadn't updated either. Laughing

I'll make sure this is updated for our next run...sorry. Neutral

I'll be checking out the orange box version of a Synergy server for a couple of hours at: 68.192.34.125:27012. PassWord "123"

Um...I suppose you need the orange box to play this. Rolling Eyes

Don't fear...I can apparently still run the HL2 engine version. Many of us had fun playing that. I'm not sure how many of our Synergy fans have the orange box. Question

So...TD showed up for a while and we messed around with things. There are some differences between this new version and the old...at least, in play style.

You can have a maximum of 8 lives on any given map. If all die...the round ends and apparently, the same map restarts. I guess you stay on a map until you finish it?...I don't know yet.

Anyway...I'll be messing around with this some more this evening. I plan on around 9:00 PM eastern. Cya there. Cool

....TD says he's coming. Come on by and mess with him. Laughing

Schweet. Cool

A reminder...this is Synergy as installed through steam...not the prior stand alone version. (Although, I can run that one as well).

It's free and should show on your steam games list. Just click and install.
Someone find Chance, DA and CC. I know they'd be interested.

Tuesdays are still 5v. I'd play if i didn't have quite a bit of work to do tonight. If you do it later this week i'll probably join.

Soli and/or Snickers can probably show. Considering I have no life whatsoever after 5v, I should be able to as well.

Also, you don't have to own orange box to play the newer version. It does have you download orange box related files, afaik, but that's it.

Hmmm...surprising. Surprised

# What do I need to play?

You will need the Steam client software, along with Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and Source SDK Base. Make sure you've launched all three games at least once to initialize them, before you play Synergy.


There's still things I don't know yet...can't even figure out how to change levels. Confused
This is different from other servers I've put together.

Unfortunately, when I was testing out some stuff and some of the new maps, things went horribly wrong. Sad

If you saw the process to set up a dedicated server for this game, most folks would cringe. Since this game is now distributed through steam, you'd think it would make the dedicated server set up easier. Hardly.

After you've installed the server through steam, you then need to extract thousands of files from the HL2 .gcf files and copy them to the appropriate server folder. I did this for all the HL2 content as instructed, just as I had to do for the HL2 server I had previously set up. (This is an orange box server...to remind you).
Several maps launched fine, then I had some problems with others. Apparently, these newer maps also require the Episode 1 and Episode 2 .gcf file contents as well. I had not gone through that process because I didn't need to do that to run the old server. These new maps and content will require it.

I got most of that done last night and should have it finished for this evening. It was about 10:30 easter when I first started up the server for some more testing. Sorry for not posting on my progress...I just got far too tied up in it. My bad.

I'll be giving this another shot this evening...I'll keep anyone who's interested up to date by posting here.


Thoughts...there still is no health system built into the game. There are no custom models. In other words...this game still isn't really finished. It still needs some polish.
