1. What is Sven Co-op?

Sven Co-op is a modification that allows co-operative multiplayer (where players fight together against monsters/etc.) in Half-Life. It also adds some features to make co-op play more interesting.

Before running Sven Co-op, make sure that you have the latest version of Half-Life! The latest updates can be downloaded from HERE.

3. Installation and Configuration

Install SvenCo-op to your Half-Life\ directory (e.g. c:\sierra\half-life\ ). A directory named "SvenCoop" will automatically be created.

After that, load Half-Life, and activate Sven Co-op by clicking Custom Game, selecting Sven Co-op from the list of mods, clicking Activate, then clicking OK.
There are a few new commands to bind keys to! To do this, click Configure, then Controls. Set up the controls as in normal Half-Life.
You should also go to Play SvenCo-op / Customize to choose your name and player model.

4. Starting or Joining a Co-op Game

Firstly, be sure to activate Sven Co-op in the manner described above. After that, starting or joining a game is exactly the same as starting or joining a deathmatch game... if joining a game, you just have to be sure that the server you're connecting to is running SvenCo-op.

Finding SvenCo-op servers on the Internet:

Just click Play SvenCo-op / Internet Games / Filter, set the "Are Running Game" checkbox to On, and set the combo box next to it to "svencoop". Click Filter, then Update. A list of SvenCo-op servers should be displayed shortly afterwards.

5. Playing Off-Line

Go to Play SvenCo-op / Lan Game / Create Game. Set Max Players to 1, and select the map you want to play, then click OK

Note: Some SvenCo-op maps cannot be completed by less than two players. Some maps have single-player versions as well as co-operative-only versions. Some maps work either way. All co-op maps are primarily designed for multiple players, though, so many maps may be far too hard in single-player.
