Suggestion: Night vision

[Fenny]

The flashlight sucks. Sucks on a major scale. We need this please.

If you are heavily reliant on seeing in the dark, but dislike the flashlight, there is a way to activate the nightvision on most Sven Co-op servers. Open the console and simply write "nightvision" (without the quotation marks) and the nightvision should turn on. You can also bind the command as per usual by example "bind n nightvision", so that you can simply press the n-key in-game to get nightvision, rather than having to write the full command each time in the console.

Wow, thanks

I actually, never knew there was a Nightvision button.

But, I thought it was opposing force only?

Guess it's not, somehow it's in the game.

It is not surprising to see elements from any of the Half-Life extensions (Opposing Force, Blueshift) in Sven Co-op. In fact, the whole campaign from both expansions have been ported over time to fit in the Sven Co-op format, Blueshift being the latest addition.
As Sven Co-op 4.8 goes to rest upon the release of the Steam-version (Sven Co-op 5.0, or simply Sven Co-op 2, maybe..), we might expect elements from e.g. the Black Mesa remake to be fitted into the game, but this is just speculations on my part. It will be a nice upgrade to see the mod remodelled into its own game with the latest Source engine.

Sven Coop uses parts of all 3 games, half-life, blue shift, and opposing force.

Sven Co-Op isn't moving to the Source engine, but rather a more flexible variation of good old GoldSrc - as a standalone game.
It will be free of charge, and contain all three singleplayer campaigns from HL, OP4 and BS, greatly improved for a better experience with more players than they were originally designed for.

Wait, the standalone will have the sp campaigns from the 3 games? Standalone or not I thought those games were required in order to play those maps (for copyright stuff and don't know what crap else)

[Scrub]

Yes, pretty big news.

Well, I didn't tested it on Op4-story, but on a "regular" server like MPUKSC this command just returns the error : "unknown command", so I guess it's server-specific or you're just wrong.

It would be cool if the map maker could set the map strictly to flashlight or nightvision for players.

[You]

Servers have their own special "nightvision". Snark Cafe has it with their server, and possibly so do others.

Yes, you are correct. Forgive me for not taking into consideration servers which are not using this feature. It is just as Terran Ghost and you wrote - that there are certain servers which are using this feature while others are not. On servers where you cannot access the nightvision, nor the flashlight, the only other option I can think of to help you see better in the dark is to increase your brightness-level under your graphics settings.
