<div class="IPBDescription">Who are going to install SvenCoop 3.0</div> There seems to be some sort of compatibility issue when you install SvenCoop in WON or Steam.

What it does is it sort of breaks your client.dll, making you have to reinstall the game. I've had this error on Steam, and another user has this error on WON, and these are both AFTER installing SvenCoop 3.0

Just giving a heads up for you <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

EDIT : Checking it over, now it seems it isn't the client.dll, but it's the fmod.dll

To fix it, you install your older fmod.dll over you new one but....

If you do, you won't be able to play SC3.0 without the new fmod.dll

EDIT : Link to fmod.dll switcher, which allows users to switch between the new and old fmod.dlls. Courtesy of LB (Thanks!)

so are you saying that we can only play one or the other?

RaVe · December 2003

Close, I'm saying be careful if you're gonna install Sven-Coop 3.0 or risk having to get a compatible fmod.dll

StraitShot · December 2003

Yah, lol just installed scoop, and then tryed to play NS but no luck. Anyone know where I can dl the ns fmod.dll?

MrKilljoy · December 2003

Take fmod.dll from your non-steam HL folder <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Guys, Lightning Blue has a fix for this, and we're asking his permission to link to here. It has to do with the new fmod.dll that the newer mods use, and the old fmod.dll that NS2.0 uses. So just sit tight. If you're eager to play both, do this:

Rename your fmod.dll that you use to play NS2.0 to something you can remember(eg. fmodNS.dll) and then use the new fmod.dll to play SC. When you're done, name the new fmod.dll to something like fmodSC.dll and then rename your fmodNS.dll to fmod.dll. Hope it isn't too confusing.

what if you're running both on Steam? how will i get an OLD fmod?

Alurcard2 · December 2003

I dont have old hl instaled and i dont want to download the game again to get the old fmod.dll :|
They only got the latest version on their site

Ask someone who as it to send it to you via MSN or any other IM... it's a small file, even a 56Ker won't suffer

I found it using filemirrors <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

i asked on their forums and it seems they made it use the newer one so that NS3.0 will support it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Yep

First post updated to include LB's useful fmod switcher to help combat against this. I haven't tested it yet so use at your own risk.

PS: anyone notice that nearly all Sven Coop players seem to have NS installed <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

MrKilljoy · December 2003

Copy-paste do your HLsteam folder
or unzip it if it's zip/rar file <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Nor · December 2003

why dont we all do this its simple <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
just make a copy of sven-coop 3.0 fmod.dll archive in some other folder and do the same thing for the ns fmod.dll and when you wanna play sc3.0 just paste it on hl folder and replace the ns fmod.dll and for ns do the same thing just remember to have a copy of both fmod.dll

hope that works 4 every1
