[QUOTE=Furioso;17453774]I don't know about you, but I had to fight [sp]several bandits, three bloodsuckers, a bunch of those rat things, a burer, a bunch of soldiers, and then a controller.[/sp] It was hectic as fuck. :tinfoil:[/QUOTE] Three bloodsuckers? Shit and i thought two was bad enough...and a burer? huh... theyre in lurk?
I just realized he has some, maybe ALL the changes I've done included in the official patches! I'm honored.
[QUOTE=Beelzebub;17453863]I killed the Duty guys blocking the entrance to the bar area, because I didn't want to pay the 6800RU to get in, and now I'm attacked on sight in the bar area. Is there any way I can get them to not hate me?[/QUOTE] load back and do the campaign. you get in free. did i mention the BAR FUCKING BELONGS TO DUTY HERP DERP THATS WHY THEY'RE SHOOTING YOU

[QUOTE=seano12;17454449]Three bloodsuckers? Shit and i thought two was bad enough...and a burer? huh... theyre in lurk?[/QUOTE] Yeah. And chimeras, too. There might be more, I haven't encountered anything new other than those.
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;17447120]If someone could upload LURK to an alternate server, like mediafire or even rapidshare I'd be grateful, since megaupload hasn't worked for years for me, always tells me I'm over my limit.[/QUOTE] I'd recommend Filefront, it's my favorite. Always comes through for me, plus it has sections for videogames. Including STALKER, [url]http://stalker.filefront.com/[/url]. I'll go and ask Holden if he's cool if I put it up there. [QUOTE=anothermartz;17449928]I tried out Lurk today and didn't like it at all, I saw no improvements in gameplay, only things that aren't as good as "Stalker Complete 2009" so I went back to that. I was excited for the stealth aspect but I see no difference at all from Lurk and Complete, and I don't think Complete has even done anything specific for stealth but I have managed to take down a few groups of bandits by sneaking up on them and using silenced weapons. I just don't understand why the torch is so dim, why the radar is removed, why you jump so high, why the headbobbing is so extreme etc. I wouldn't be surprised if this was infact just /v/ trolling and sure that stuff can be tweaked, but again, I saw no improvements that would make me want to change things when Stalker Complete is better and in a smaller package. [editline]07:57PM[/editline] Apart from Complete sometimes being a bit too bright: [img_thumb]http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/99783/Pictures/STALKER/Complete%20Too%20Bright.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Doesn't Complete 2009 use Spring flora? Ew. And just a few things, I agree with the torch, it's too dim. The radar is removed because it's not important, takes up HUD and can be used to magically see enemies which could in a way ruin the dark zones. I think the jump height is untouched, either that, or OL did that too. Or even complete 2009 reduced it. Headbobbing, again, I think is Vanilla, it's too much still. I feel that LURK is what STALKER should have been, basically STALKER overhauled. It relies more on stealth and flanking which is a fresh change from the old, nights are scary and awesome, and the balance has been fixed big time. My only issue is that I'm not used to the difference in accuracy from OL, I'm used to being able to sniper those military guys towards the beginning with an AK74 in the building where you find the stash with the thorn artifact. And yes, I'm cool with headbob, I just want less of it.

[editline]07:16PM[/editline] Also, the newest patch includes my fixes in it. One of which lowers head bob.

I'll go check though. [editline]05:29PM[/editline] [QUOTE=SomeFaggot;17455202]You'd be happy to know that I'm working on the flashlight right now.

One of which lowers head bob.[/QUOTE] I think that while you're working on fixing the little issues, perhaps you could fix the AKs? They just feel ridiculously inaccurate, especially if you've been running more than 10 minutes ago. Seriously, when I sprint, the crosshair gets bigger than my screen.
[QUOTE=GamerKiwi;17455483]How did you get the compass up there? I don't see it on my version. I'll go check though.[/QUOTE] Hm, I didn't do anything. Just put gamedata in my STALKER folder and added the patches.
Dammit, I don't have any saves from before I attacked. I had one right after I attacked them. Goddammit.

[QUOTE=Mark£d_OÑ£;17455744]Better, but it looks a bit too big imo. Try making it a little smaller.[/QUOTE] As in the diameter of the light cast, or distance it casts?
[QUOTE=SomeFaggot;17455783]As in the diameter of the light cast, or distance it casts?[/QUOTE] Diameter, distance looks fine. Could you take a shot in first person too? Just so we can see what we'd be seeing ingame.
[QUOTE=SomeFaggot;17455783]As in the diameter of the light cast, or distance it casts?[/QUOTE] It does seem a bit exxagerated, but I'm not sure how. Either, it's too large, too bright, or too far. Maybe a combination of them. Hopefully, if you experiment a bit, you can find a butter zone for it.
Okay, I changed it to the standard diameter. [editline]07:54PM[/editline] Pulling back the length. [editline]07:58PM[/editline] [media]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/ss_administrator_09-22-09_19-57-44_l02_garbage.jpg[/media] Eh?

That's one of the problems in LURK, it's like the flashlight is running on low batteries or something.
Yeah, the flashlight is nearly pointless even at night.
Yeah, I just started a new game with LURK and decided to try the first mission stealthy in the middle of night. That didn't work to well, it was impossible to see anything, even with nightvision on, you don't think you could tackle that next could you? And the flashlight defiantly is looking better.

Sure as hell looks a lot better then the default one. Cant do shit at night with such a weak flashlight. Other then the lame flashlight, the mod is stunning, I love it!
Fuck! I've edited the shaders file and the flashlight file, and now my save is corrupt. My log is empty and no report comes up, just "XR_3DA.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. Check online for a solution and close program Close program" I've changed the skygraphics file back, but it isn't working! [editline]07:11PM[/editline] Doesn't work for new games either.
Apparently running S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on patch 1.0006 [b]does[/b] cause problems with L.U.R.K. It was the cause of the crash every time I entered the bar, it was also causing unwanted weather cycles and fog settings along with a few other odd things. If you are running 1.0006, re-install stalker with 1.0005 and try LURK.
Isn't pretty much every mod made for 1.0005? I think 1.6 was just an MP patch.
[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;17457535]Isn't pretty much every mod made for 1.0005? I think 1.6 was just an MP patch.[/QUOTE] It was. I don't see why that breaks mods though. Unless it alters one tiny thing in SP that somehow fucks shit up.
