How would you make a coop level on Half-Life and be able to play together with people via LAN? (I want to be able to play levels that I make with my brother cooperatively)

Also does anyone know how to make a single player map work for use outside of the editor?

Download a mod called sven-coop and make maps for that mod. You will need to make some modifications to your hammer settings, such as use the sven-coop fgd file and some other changes.

Mapping for sven-coop is the same as half-life, there are just some extra entities in sven-coop.

You already answered what I needed. That part about making the map work outside of the editor was just playing with people on the map. I hope you understand now. (It wasn't the best sentence)

I added the following section on this post because for some reason whenever I try to reply on this topic I get an error message. Could you help me with this? I posted the problem that I am having with posting under the General Banter.

Could you please tell me where to go to get the sven_coop fgd?

I tried to search for it but wasn't successfull. Is it only for Hammer 3.5 or is it for 3.4 too.

Thanks.

I added this section

You haven't upgraded to hammer 3.5 already? You are missing out. Upgrade it and use the sven-coop fgd.

I do have Hammer 3.5 but I don't have models displaying. I don't really want them though because of all the trouble that you have to go through to get them and I don't really understand how to anyway.

Where would I go to get the sven_coop FGD? I did some searching for it but couldn't find it.

Thanks

Model displaying is very very handy and I couldn't imagine hammer without it.

Did hammer not come with the sven-coop fgd? Look in Valve Hammer Editor/fgd and see if its in there.

the .fgd will come with the sven-coop installer, not with hammer.

I downloaded the sven coop file and then once it was all finished downloading onto the computer I tried to host a game but the following error message came up:

Mod_NumForName:sprites/voiceicon.spr not found

Could you please help me get the sven coop to work?

Thanks

Try this thread in the SC tech support forums.
If you're using Half-Life WON, well, don't use it. Half-Life WON can make SC a bit unstable and can become remarkably crash prone due to resource issues.

Another, possible, fix is to find the voiceicon.spr in the Half-Life .gcf file and copy it into the corresponding folder under svencoop.

And yes, like fishy said, the svencoop fgd file will be in the root SC directory, it does not come bundled with Hammer.

You said to find the voiceicon.spr in the Half-Life gcf. Where would you find the gcf file at?

I tried to search for it and cannot find it.

Copy a random sprite, rename it as voiceicon.spr, and put it in the sprites folder.

I did try to copy a random sprite file and rename it. But when I try to play a level the game crashes and asks if you want to send an error message.

Copying does not solve the problem so if you know of anything else other than upgrading Half-Life please let me know.

Thanks
