Synergy Server

For those of us who have got into the HL2 mod Synergy, I've now got a small dedicated server for a month.
It's called "CM's Server" and can be found at
nl1.game.kingj.net:27023 if you can't find it on the server browser. I am currently stuffing it full of every custom map I can get my hands on.
The password is the same as the THN vent pass.

You can now download most of the custom maps from here:

It's the old THN vent password.... for those who know the the new password, just leave the last 2 digits off.
Or just PM Cmaster if you want to play. Having played Synergy quite a few times, it's a very good co-op Halflife 2 mod. One game, I remember me, and a few other players from the THN and some random peeps was playing a level and it lasted for ages, but it was so good that it kept you wanting to beat the level.
The mod is at
http://synergymod.net/?cp=files - Download the 1.1 version.

Some of the levels we played last night we're really, really excellent.
Heat Wave is absolutley gorgeous, and Horror had a better atmosphere and gameplay than most single player games I've played.

Awesome, I love that mod. I'll actually be able to enjoy it, being able to play it with people I know.

FYI: Synergy Orange Box officially due out next week, from Steam.
Also, those who have donated will (have) receive the opportunity to beta test it.

Does that mean they are charging for it on Steam?

No, it's still completely free. Valve just felt like helping out their favorite mods apparently.

Yeah - I need to send an email to KingJ about updating the server I guess.
"This week" is looking more and more like "friday" - but then again, you always have to take into account
Valve time.
Anyway, looking foward to it - although not looking foward to 90% of custom maps breaking.

Synergy Orange Box is out now.
You can find it by going to Free Stuff -> Game Mods
I'm not sure if this is still an issue, but you may be unable to see the servers in the in-game server list, so you'll have to find a server outside of the game.

Now got sourcemod working, as well as a growing number of custom maps. So next time anybody is on, I should be able to give them reserved slots etc.

Are the custom maps any better than the default offering? I can't really say that I enjoy the default maps very much, other than trials, but that gets boring.

Well, some of them are old syn 1.1 maps (although custom ones back then) like lvcoop (and maybe soon fireteam). Syn_hive_resevil3 is really good to the point that I have played it too, plus got a new defence map the other day that is fun for a bit. Waiting for more to crop up. out of the offical offerings, I've always quite liked takeover, and heat wave is pretty nifty. The rest are either uninspiring/poor (antlions way/canal escape series, that gawdawful "farm"), or cause big problems for eiher the server of the player (silent house, seven hour war).
