And as for anything else - that's fate. -Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky[/I] [URL="http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/7561/lined.png"][IMG]http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/7561/lined.png[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://a.imageshack.us/img809/8346/30253451adwcopy.jpg"][IMG]http://a.imageshack.us/img809/8346/30253451adwcopy.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Welcome to the Zone, brother! The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series is currently made up of three games: Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat. Each game has its own set of unique experiences and features, and each game has a new twist upon the life of a Stalker. The game series is based off of the Chernobyl Nuclear catastrophe, with its own fictional additions. The zone is an irradiated hell hole that was formed after a fictional second explosion at the powerplant, it's filled with anomalies and known to be home to deadly mutants. The Zone is populated by people nicknamed S.T.A.L.K.E.Rs, which stands for "Scavenger, Trespasser, Adventurer, Loner, Killer, Explorer, Robber". Stalkers are divided into clans, each with their own ideals and goals, such as the anarchist Freedom faction or fanatic Monolith. This is just a quick overview, for more in-depth information I recommend heading over to the STALKER websites listed below. The Wiki is a fantastic resource that holds tons of extra information, but be careful about spoilers! - Good hunting S.T.A.L.K.E.R!

What were we discussing again? I think it was something to do with Llamas in the zone.

No lurkers? Shit I better start posting then.

Mmm, that new thread smell

Yay for new thread. I was talking with Evan (SomeFaggot) about a story overhaul mod idea of mine, but we both agreed that it'd take too long, we'd need more people than just us (scripting and story can only go so far; we'd require a lot of other stuff to make it interesting), and with STALKER 2 on the horizon, it wouldn't really be worth looking into. However, I think I may start writing it as a story. Unlike my last STALKER story, hopefully this one won't die out so quickly. I think I want to storyboard things before I begin writing it, though. Would anyone care if I did write it?

I love to read STALKER fiction, so go for it imo. [editline]17th May 2011[/editline] Also, goodnight brothers!

Looks better with the new release tags.

I took advantage of my college's ultrafast internet and I downloaded a ton of stalker mods. So what's the correct way to install them? I know there's the this file I have to change but I don't know which

I'm finding it hard to start a new game in People Soup just cause of that fucking cave level.

Sorry for being a mad cock monster, anyone got the tutorial for dling/installing People Soup?

Yes. Be sure to use the bin folder that came with it too.

New thread smell.

I bought shadow over Chernobyl and call of pripyat on steam around christmas but only started SHoC 2 days ago :v:, just got to garbage and fucked some bandits up, anything I should know becuase I'm still pretty new to the game(s).

Keep a nice supply of bandages and first aid kits. Also don't walk into bloop bloops.

Take only what you can carry and only what you need below the encumbrance limit if you can help it. Always carry a secondary firearm with you, and bring at LEAST 3 medkits and 6 bandages with you at a time, these will help immensely for light raids into the zone.

So anyway, how about some mutated Llamas? Peruvian zone? All glory to the Inca?

Grenades are a good source of money.

Otherwise, keep it in a chest in a safe area, life next to the fire in the Cordon Village, or the one in the Garbage Hanger.

Hopefully I'll become a regular in this thread, this game is just so goddamn awesome to me for some reason.

Finally a fresh thread!
