They have a test map on there to try it with too.

So question is will Valve be releasing some maps for the MP soon via steam? I think its likely :smoking:

 

[RipNard]

Actually, thinking about it... COuld we not load single player maps into MP via above method and possibly have MP fought out in the City 17 streets, battleing underneth the striders?
That would be cool!

I'd try this but I am stuck at work for the next 5 hours

 

[Hish]

friend of my told me a guy from valve said that they would release 1 map for mp, or something

something like a suprise, im sure were gonna get hl2 mp

I'd also noticed that when you die, you seem to drop your weapons in a very multiplayer kind of way.

 

[Asuka]

Dunno if they do sweet. If they dont whatever doesnt matter. Mod teams making a hl2 dm.

 

[Homercidal]

Valve has already said they have some MP code in the game, with examples but weren't releasing more. It's been left to the mod teams.

Hopefully there will be enough done to get them moving quickly.

 

[FieronThor]

sheesh let that bit about them releasing a MP map be true lol. The gravity gun in multiplayer, that'll be amazing!

 

[Whezzy]

Multiplayer was in the leak...

 

[Organizer]

EDIT: No one's sent me the map yet. That makes me a sad Gordon.

 

[Jasco]

ahha..tried 82.224.171.59:27015 now.. another dude there, just idling.

 

[RipNard]

nagual678 - could you send it me too - only just got home!

How did you get on with loading a single player map in MP? Likely there would not be enough sporn points?

 

[Sean]

ACH! Hurry and send me the map, before Gabe notices what's going on!

 

[nagual678]

[Jasco]

http://home.no/sgtlenin/fun/hl2mpmultitest.bsp thats the map

 

[SpiderPig]

get the test maps from the link in my sig

 

[Sean]

Hmm... having connection problems. Mostly just "Connection failed after 4 retries."

 

[Jasco]

I get the same

 

[skynet6]

wow, what a fun map, 5 min pure fun didnt try it online, but still fun

 

[Sean]

Anyone else want to create a server? I would, but I don't want to re-configure port forwarding.

 

[Jasco]

Server down

 

[nagual678]

OK, experiment terminated.
it was fun for 5 mins, because the map was lousy.
i tried to load a SP map, and APPARENTLY it crashed. i"m not 500% sure though, as the map loaded but it was slow as hell as a bug looped (a message was looping in the console)

 

[nagual678]

Server up at 81.0.173.146

add player slots please

 

[Sean]

Whee! They need to work on that a bit...

Edit: Spawn some crowbars or something, Jasco

 

[skynet6]

Server up at 81.0.173.146

[Jasco]
