Yeah getting that fort-15 and a couple of AKS-74us is important, though I guess that might be counter-productive for a speedrun. I personally like to get the 5.45 Groza when I can, just gotta get enough monies before rescuing Nimble and bam one of the most flexible guns in the game, right at the start.
finally someone who understands how to make ez cash and ez work of bandits in the garbage, alwas pick a fight with the military at the embankment in any mod
they're just doing their job
not my fault i need their guns
Yep exactly I installed teh Dynamic Lighting thing and changed the ingame setting to full.
Hey guys, just a quick heads up. With OWR being implemented (but with completely new sounds, ironsights, balancing, and some new attachments), hit effects, death animations, and a more stable build, playtesters are desperately needed. A huge shoutout to @DeVotchKa and @JDER14 who have been giving mountains of gameplay feedback, and another shoutout to @Lyokanthrope who I've been bouncing some ideas off of. Again, there are no requirements to take place in this playtesting, the only thing I ask is that you don't spread the build around without my permission, as it contains a lot of unfinished work that I don't want public until I can fully document it. If you're at all interested in either playtesting, or just hearing some of my crazy ideas and giving your thoughts about them, add me here: https://steamcommunity.com/id/wepl Any contribution, no matter how small helps. If you help in any shape or form you'll be credited in some form.
Balathruin? what happened??
He burned out hard and is taking an extended break, which is a shame because I think he is a great gameplay designer and I have nothing but the kindest words for him, both professionally and personally. I wish the best for him, but I do hope he returns eventually.
Anyone know why bump#(those for parallax effect) files dont work on detail ground in CoC? Im messing with new textures for grass and just for test Im playing with different mounds on it to give it some less flat look, but its not visible in game... on normal surfaces(walls, normal grounds, etc) they work perfectly, but on detail textures parallax effect is not visible. Of course thm files have proper settings(UseParalax) and everything have correct names, but still nothing... It work everywhere but not in detail ground like asphalt, grass, earth :/
I believe me and @Theman! worked really hard to get this working, but couldn't get it any further than in a sphere around the player. I believe the next step was for me to dig around the rendering for parallax engine code to see if there was some sort of hardcoded limitation, but we moved on to other ideas and put this one on the back burner for now. I'll get him to respond with any relevant/useful information we acquired, but keep in mind we didn't get in even close to 100% working.
Haven't played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in a long while, anything new in the mods scene for Call of Pripyat? I'm looking to try something other than vanilla again.
Not sure how interested you'd be in this, but I recently played through Call of Pripyat with just some config tweaks of my own and enjoyed it far more than any other mod I've ever played. It's a satisfying mix of being able to create your own experience on top of learning new things. If you're interested, just let me know and I can get you started with the basics. I'd highly recommend it. Just be warned - the learning curve is steep and STALKER modding is something that WILL try your patience, but is highly rewarding. All it takes is a little bit of persistence, and perhaps some help along the way, and you can do some pretty cool stuff on your own. But again, it's not for everyone, it may just not be your thing.
overall this parallax is a bit messed in stalker in one place it work perfectly in other dont, I personally tried everything I know and ask around and most of people say similar thing: shaders are F up or it some bug/lack of setting when making/recompiling map in SDK, but SDK dont like me and my windows 8.1 so I cant do much more :/
You're taking S2K to new heights, paranoia.
!!! shoutout to @chenhonkster for sharing in videos & flash https://youtu.be/SjugsyOKNvg
I most certainly see some mods in use in some bits of that video, I get the feeling he's borrowed videos from elsewhere on Youtube. Also fuck he continues to propogate the myth of how the game's difficulty system works. I feel like the whole thing is disingenuous and not exactly a great view of the series to outsiders, but oh well.
his review style more than makes up for some of the mistakes he made, but then again i love sseth all his reviews are great
At least he doesn't claim you need to play the games with mods otherwise they are horrible, like some people seem to
I'm pretty sure that part where he shows Sidorovich with the grenade going off was even made by an FPer.
CoP being the best? This man has good taste.
Half of everything he says in that video is wrong,especially with some important story bits. At least he isn't wrong about game play and which game to go for.
Ehhhhhhhh I hate to be that guy but I still think SoC is better than CoP in most ways. CoP edges it out in more polished gameplay and missions, but in comparison to SoC or even CS in some ways: the world is boring to explore, the AI is a massive downgrade, the visuals have some severe issues in the stock game, and the main story is somehow less interesting than the first two game's as well. Note that I'm talking about the games as they are unmodded.
I liked the atmosphere and gameplay in CoP a lot more. I didn't notice any AI downgrades to be honest, so as long as it helped performance and stability I'm kinda alright with it.
Gameplay I can for sure agree with. CoP's gameplay feels a lot more refined.
Has this not been posted before? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTq4ibgVof8&t= A much more in-depth review of SoC. I much prefer this one.
Seth is more of a jokester.. At the end of the day he gave more exposure to one of our favourite franchises even if he wasn't totally informed on the content. https://i.imgur.com/Mari12f.gif
ya thats what i tried to explain, im glad he did a review its funny
I haven't played CoC since release. Any recommendations for submods?
