Obsidian Conflict

It's a free hl2 mod.
I'm not gonna write a huge long introduction about it. If you have no clue what OC is, and you want to learn more, I can suggest visiting their website:
http://obsidianconflict.net/
or moddb:

Just so much, it can be really fun. And it's gameplay varies from coop to pvp, trials and puzzle maps, plain fun maps like fishing, to some rpg-y maps like harvest and diving.

Most maps you only need hl2 installed, some however require CS:S and/or episode 1 and/or episode 2 and/or lostcoast.

I put many custom maps on our Sammyservers OC server, some in 2 map packs:

http://sammyservers.com/ObsidianConflict/synb2_mappack_291007.zip
(notice some of the synergy maps can have missing textures, in very rare occasions making the map unwinable. I didn't get around to fix that yet. Furthermore physics seem to be different in OC from hl2:dm or Synergy, so few puzzle/trials are sometimes impossible to beat without admin hax.)

And finally, the IP of our server is: 66.90.103.33:27045
steam://connect/66.90.103.33:27045

I can vouch for this here. It's a really fun game. It's like Zombie Master x2. Really.

I think this weekend we should have an OC party. Mhm. We should.

One slightly important thing I forgot to mention:
Depending on the other server's load, the OC one can take a while up to some minutes to change maps.
I have no clue what is causing this, and therefore no idea how to fix.
Sometimes it's switching maps like woooooosh, in mere seconds. While other times it takes minutes.

So yeah, if that happens, just stick with it. The server hardly crashes ever, just takes its time.

If we ever go back to oc_paysan remember
DON'T FARM WOOD last time we did that lagged horribly
(well and remember to get the pack for it)

oh yeah, thanks game zombie for reminding me.
oc_paysan is a harvest-y map, with loads of other fun things to do as well.
It comes as two separate downloads, the bsp file plus some models and materials, and some updated models and materials in another file.

You can find both files at the OC forum, oc_paysan topic there.

Also: THIS TOPIC HERE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ALL THE OTHER CRAPPY OFF TOPICS!
SO STOP BURYING IT WITH LOLOLOLOL POINTLESS REPLIES TO OTHER TOPICS!

I also agree. I just got OC a few days ago, and I can say, it's one of the best mods ever. Even when I'm not playing on our server, I play on others and it's still awesome.

I say when the right people are playing, it's more fun than Zombie Master. And does Sammy's Server for OC have upgrades? If it did, I wasn't aware.

Nope, no upgrades currently.
I am thinking about converting upgrades over to ZM, and have in fact already started some tests.
So I can say, ammo regen for instance is working nicely, with a minor exception: I haven't figured out yet how to regenerate ammo for the rpg or grenades T.T
Anyways, this will require a lot more thinking work before there can be a final release for everyone to enjoy.
And I've found out, much like the ZM devs the OC mod team isn't too fond of the whole rpg like plugins ideas.
So I can't expect much help from their side.
Not much point in putting work into the current version of OC any ways, because OC version 1.35 is imminent.
And with this being released, function offsets will change and I'll have to wait till sourcemod devs figure out the new signatures and offsets.

I love Obsidian Conflict, I especially like the map oc_diving, also a harvesty map.
Oc_Harvest is fun, but if people remember, I died 14 times :P

Let's hope they don't try to break the rpg plug-in and fail just like the ZM devs (maybe the ZM devs moved over to OC :P)

My opinion (or "My. Picky"'s opinion rather):

It's just another coop mod like Synergy and HL2DM (There's coop maps for that too)
I know I know, "nuuu et haz moar wepanz and gaemplaymodez!!!!!!1!1 and NCs fightng is liek so koool". There's something else for that, and it's called Garry's Mod.
The mod itself feels unpolished (still in beta version, same thing with Empires, not fully polished, but it's getting there) and the build-in mp3 player doesn't even work. (For me, that is)

I was addicted to Synergy fishing once, trust me, I know what's fun.

Fucia has a point there, OC is unpolished in some parts.
This feeling increases especially when you're playing maps that weren't made/meant for OC, like synergy ones.
Missing textures on those maps, garbled physics, not steerable airboats are some of the things you have to either ignore or admin hax your way around, if you can. xD
Stock OC maps are fine though, and offer a great time and good fun playing them.
But hey, it's a mod with it's developers actively working on it, supporting their community wherever they can.
Not a commercial game, that gets dropped by it's devs once the publisher forces them to cut out content, to meet the release deadline in time.

I remember on the valve wiki somewhere it said something about the command +mp3 working just it didn't have a proper VGUI (or what ever it is) that's probably a bug that never got tested since it was never finished

OC Beta 1.35 is released!

They've updated some maps, like oc_harvest and a ton of other stuffs. Read their webpage if you want to learn more: http://obsidianconflict.net/

I'm currently updating the server to 1.35, which will take me a while.
You can download the client either from their website I linked to above, or from our box:
http://sammyservers.com/ObsidianConflict/oc-beta1.35_full.exe

Oh yeah, the installer tries downloading some custom player models. They didn't add a webserver for that yet, so if the installer errors out, just click cancel and it will continue installing the game files.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! IMMA PLAY IT TONIGHT WOO!!

Brilliant game, id advise you to get it!
