Looks cool, 4 Player Co-Op and you can't beat Free!

Isometric platformers are so underrated.

7/17/2010 4:08:02 PM

You have a lot of fucking free time

7/17/2010 5:21:27 PM

Looks pretty interesting... anyone wanna get a co-op game going once this is out? Some of you may have already added me on Steam from playing TF2, but my Steam name is Wraith1.

7/17/2010 5:30:31 PM

looks like diablo with guns to me

7/17/2010 5:48:43 PM

^^^ and trolls like you don't?

is there not some way to keep these threads on topic and keep out my dedicated groupies?

7/17/2010 6:02:57 PM

I really can't wait to check this game out tomorrow.

19hrs until release

7/18/2010 7:55:46 PM

free eh? I'll probably try this.

7/18/2010 9:42:45 PM

i'll be getting it. i just added wraith1 as well.

7/18/2010 10:05:22 PM

my steam name: =DFG= ZoSo

7/19/2010 1:03:24 AM

I'll get onto Steam around 7-8 today to check this out.

7/19/2010 9:02:18 AM

It's a fairly slow period for me with PC gaming. I'm not a RTS fan so Starcraft 2 doesn't interest me in the least. I'll have to check this out.

How are they making the $ to support this game? Nothing's "free".

7/19/2010 10:44:56 AM

Valve has plenty of money between the Source games and Steam to release a free mod based game

release in 2 hours

7/19/2010 7:56:47 PM

Its pretty fun, but whoever came up with the controls should be shot.

7/19/2010 8:16:29 PM

It should have controller support. I really really dislike playing games with a keyboard/mouse and the controls are really awkward.

7/19/2010 8:29:53 PM

looks pretty cool, going to install but can't promise i'll find the time to play

7/19/2010 10:24:45 PM

controls aren't that bad, but there are bugs like getting stuck in between objects

7/19/2010 11:36:43 PM

i added a few of you. steam id: saturn11.

hopefully i'll get a chance to play tomorrow.

7/20/2010 12:49:14 AM

What's wrong with the controls? Sometimes the auto aim messes me up a bit, but other than that, the controls seem fine.

7/20/2010 10:29:18 AM

well it takes a little gettin use to. usually with a game like this, you move in relation to your character, not in relation to the screen. so your "up" button would move your character forward in relation to which way he's facing. it wouldnt move you north. i got use to it pretty quickly, it was just a little odd when i first started it up.

7/20/2010 12:38:42 PM

haha more people playing this on my friends list than any other game

7/21/2010 2:29:02 PM

imma try to get online tonight if anyone else will be around.

7/21/2010 3:58:09 PM

I'm playing tonight

7/22/2010 8:07:47 PM

I have no friends on Steam.

May play some tonight though.

7/22/2010 8:50:00 PM

Anyone tried first-person mode yet?

7/23/2010 12:16:35 AM

^Just came to post about that. Here is the directions to do it:

Quote :

"In a running game of Alien Swarm simply go to Options > Keyboard > Enable developer console. Then hit ` (to the left of 1) and type: firstperson asw_hide_marine 1 asw_controls 0 And then you can experience the terror first hand."

Works pretty good. Here is a video of it:

Also, is anybody on here in the Steam TWW group?? I want to join that. My Steam ID is nighthawk_cp

i'd add some of you guys but I don't have any bought games

7/24/2010 3:41:19 PM

how do you create a modded server to allow 1st person?

7/24/2010 6:36:27 PM

I've found some good info but still no luck:

http://forums.aria.co.uk/showthread.php?s=daac1e1527d4a131af2dda7d19d92945&t=25485&page=14

http://segmentnext.com/2010/07/21/alien-swarm-dedicated-server-setup-guide/

my server.cfg (must create)

Quote :

" hostname "=DFG= 1st Person Server" rcon_password “” sv_password 0 // only needed to make your server private. sv_contact "dafdaf@hotmail.com" hostport 27015 sv_lan 0 // enable LAN = 1; disable LAN = 0 sv_region 255 sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 1 //enable/disable Lobby connections 1/0 mp_disable_autokick 1 //disables autokick=1 sv_allow_wait_command 0 sv_alltalk 0 sv_alternateticks 0 sv_clearhinthistory 0 sv_consistency 1 sv_pausable 0 sv_voiceenable 1 sv_cheats 1 sv_forcepreload 1 sv_pure_kick_clients 0 exec banned_user.cfg exec banned_ip.cfg sv_log_onefile 0 sv_logbans 1 sv_logecho 0 sv_logfile 1 sv_logflush 0 sv_logsdir logs sv_minrate 30000 sv_maxrate 60000 sv_minupdaterate 66 sv_maxupdaterate 101 sv_mincmdrate 66 sv_maxcmdrate 101"

and my autoexec.cfg (must also create)

Quote :

"srcds.exe -game swarm -ip 192.168.1.1 -port 27015 -maxplayers 4 +exec server.cfg +map lobby -lan 0 -console // first person mode sv_cheats 1 firstperson asw_hide_marine 1 asw_controls 0"

does anyone see anything wrong? can you not use autoexec.cfg with a server.cfg? I couldn't even get it to work offline.




The above simple command only works if you find a server with sv_cheats on, which I haven't yet. My problem is every time I run my custom cfgs it still tells me I don't have sv_cheats enabled.
