S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: Full of Delicous Edition - Games

I'm having trouble with the bloodsuckers in Zaton. How do I open the Gas Canister container? I've been at it for a week! :argh: EDIT: I even resorted to throwing grenades at it!

One truck fell off the bridge but I forget where the other is :v:

[QUOTE=Midna;21782031]You have to find the keys that are in two of the trucks. One truck fell off the bridge but I forget where the other is :v:[/QUOTE] the other jeep is WAAYYY at the back of the convoy, separated from the rest of the convoy by a bunch of anomalies. basically, if you're on the side of the bridge where the Ranger Station is, it will be the first jeep you seen when crossing the bridge.

I can play SoC at maxed out, but I still have random freezes when people are spawning, apperantly 3gb of ram isnt good enough for a 2007 game [editline]04:59PM[/editline] Btw, playing Clear Sky, haven't been to agroprom yet (new save). Can/Should I join Freedom or will it fuck up my campaign?

[QUOTE=Calkkuna;21768674]Why not anything by Nvidia?[/QUOTE] ATI has a better price/performance ratio right now. The 4850 will run all of the STALKER games at max real smooth. I should know, I have one myself. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102824[/url] This is a really nice card, Sapphire makes great cards and it's really cheap for a 4850.

[QUOTE=Communist Cake;21781129]I'm just wondering, will the [URL="http://stalker.filefront.com/file/DETECTOR_MOD;79145"]Detector mod[/URL] work with LURK 1.1?[/QUOTE] I thought that would be an artifact detector ported from CS and I was sorely disappointed. Wouldn't be hard to add that though. I want to see if I can port the artifact detectors from CS and CoP.

[QUOTE=holdenmcclure;21777784]Nope that's definitely Static lighting. I can tell by the hard edges on the road.[/QUOTE] But I don't have static lighting on?

Okay so I beat SoC with LURK. Any other mods for SoC?

[QUOTE=ubertaco;21786907]Okay so I beat SoC with LURK. Any other mods for SoC?[/QUOTE] Complete 2009 is quite fun.

[QUOTE=FreakyMe;21761124]I think I broke the goddamn campaign. About 4 times I have completed an objective before it was assigned and then when it is assigned it cannot be completed. For instance, when you return to Cordon after stealing the documents from the lab, you are asked to kill some very well armed bandits in an ambush. Problem is, I encountered those guys on the road in and killed them in a sprawling 14 minute battle across and under the bridge. Is there any way to force an objective complete? I really want to complete the damn missions so I can do more for the guys, but it seems I have fucked up too many times. [editline]02:53PM[/editline] Fanatic who replaces Wolf in Cordon just keeps saying the well armed bandits are just around the corner when in fact their brains and blood are coating the overpass near the main road. [editline]02:54PM[/editline] The Freedom guy who you tell about the Duty raid just keeps saying we need to kill them all because I killed half of the Dutyers on the way to the base.[/QUOTE] Any help? Do I need to restart?

[QUOTE=ubertaco;21786907]Okay so I beat SoC with LURK. Any other mods for SoC?[/QUOTE] Well if you're looking for a break from the difficulty, I recommend OL or Faction Fronts.

Try redux. Anyways... I'm trying a new screenspace HDR technique, I've touched it to what I think is a suitable degree, let me know what you think. Basically I have two images for each given circumstance, one where you're about to step out, and one where you're outside and your eyes have adjusted.

[QUOTE=Lyoko774;21787808]Too bloomy. The inside shots are fine, but the outside...I dunno, it just looks too blurry/bloomy.[/QUOTE] I can't see barely any bloom outside, are you referring to the sky?

I guess I can expect more varied responses. Oh well I guess I'll make it optional since it doesn't seem like I can expect any consistent responses.

The sky is a bit too bright, but it's definitely not blurry.

[QUOTE=Drill Remover;21788134]The sky is a bit too bright, but it's definitely not blurry.[/QUOTE] In contrast to the ground, or rather just the sky in general?

I think just in general. The glare from being inside is somewhat too strong, while the brightness from being outside should be toned down by a small degree. Other than that, the visuals look amazing.

That's perfect. You've hit exactly the middle ground. Also, is there any chance you'll be modifying Argus' texture pack? 4096 x 4096 is too unoptimized.

It's all CoP textures now.

it's nice to see a new wave of screenshots and updates once in a while. Now if only Lost Alpha comes around the same time as LURK... Edit [img]http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9935/1273005838952.jpg[/img]

Don't know if i'm later or anything, but in call of pripyat, when you have to find the blood sucker lair. did that remind you of i am legend?
