Those are from about an hour ago, I had to make several trips through wild to steal all the merc's stuff. :v:

Anybody have some lite mods for someone playing C.o.P for the first time? Something like AI fixes, bugfixes, smaller UI, etc. Not mods which add tons of new anomalies, weapons, and rebalance all the prices or anything like that.

[QUOTE=Calkkuna;27501022]Oh my god the AI in Doom's mod is fucking awesome. I've been killed twice by enemies that sneak behind me. When I turn around the open fire. So awesome. [editline]18th January 2011[/editline] It would be hilarious if they would knife me :v:[/QUOTE] They will once Rulix's AI is implemented.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;27501215]Testing a few things now, then working on the Merc trader file (i've been faffing about too much today, watching QI on youtube) [editline]18th January 2011[/editline] I would not be surprised if that was true. There's amazing potential in STALKER's AI, it's just not utilised to it's full extent due to, among other things, the deadline they had to reach for SoC.[/QUOTE] Indeed there is. AMK does the best job at unlocking the offline A-Life IMO. There are plenty of awesome mods for the online A-Life, but I think Rulix and xStream take the cake.

Where can I find just Rubix's AI mod?

My fellow Stalkers, I am an avid stalker player and I've played most ShoC mods out there on toughest difficulty. Needless to say, they have disappointed me. I have conquered each and every one with little-to-no struggle. Today I have taken it upon myself to advance to the next level. To this day I have not once played People Soup, thus, I will be entering the People Soup Exclusion Zone on master difficulty this evening. Some may call me crazy, some may say I'm a fool, but fear not! I refuse to surrender until I emerge victorious. I will make People Soup my bitch if it's the last thing I do, and when I do, I will climb to the tallest buildings of Pripyat and cast my gaze upon the world which I conquered for Facepunch! A new and glorious day is dawning for us Facepunch Stalkers. No longer will Stalkers cower in fear at the mentioning of People Soup. People Soup will remember the day that will live on in infamy... ...when we take back The Zone.

[QUOTE=Thomo;27508048]What are the differences between online and offline A-Life anyway, never really understood the term. Offline is the AI in other maps you are not in? and vice-versa?[/QUOTE] Offline A-Life is NPCs over a certain distance away - they have no physical models in the world but their inventories, names etc are all stored, they can fight other NPCs in this state too. It basically is a way to simulate the world without much resource use. Online A-Life is the NPCs you can see that have physical models etc.

Is it just chance, one side being favored over the other due to equipment?

[QUOTE=SomeFaggot;27508174]What takes place in the offline? Is it just chance, one side being favored over the other due to equipment?[/QUOTE] It'll be some complicated scripts to determine who wins fights, combined with their weapons, skill levels, numbers etc.

I hate how in People Soup Offline A-life included your stashes being looted. And the only way to stop that was to buy a lock, which costs 30,000 rubles and an artifact

Doom, got this crash loading up X18: Expression : wave&&wave->length() Function : CSoundRender_Source::LoadWave File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xrSound\SoundRender_Source_loader.cpp Line : 65 Description : Can't open wave file: Arguments : c:\program files\thq\s.t.a.l.k.e.r. - shadow of chernobyl\gamedata\sounds\music\amb00_l.ogg amb00_l.ogg isn't in the gamedata folder...

Holy fuck. I just got to this part. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMvKl6BiZc4[/media] I was playing and heard RAOWRAWEEERR and I ran to a corner, paused and alt+tabbed, I search stalker bloodsucker sound... My first encounter... Oh shit... [editline]18th January 2011[/editline] Oh and I have a low ammo ak, a shitty pistol and a viper. What do..

Knife it.

Is there a download for Sgt Doom's mod so far?

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;27508475]Knife it.[/QUOTE] ok 1 sec

I shot it a few times with my AK and a few with my pistol and it died. That was piss easy. [editline]18th January 2011[/editline] A bandid shot me and killed me :v: I have to kill it again. I have found they are piss easy to kill so I killed it with a pistol. [editline]18th January 2011[/editline] Oh and I recently found I had about 30-40 bandages in my inventory.

[QUOTE=Thorny;27507946]No need - play vanilla.[/QUOTE] Well there's the mods for edited FOV and fixed ironsights, but that's it.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;27504919]Freeplay Start 1.21 plus LURK weapons, AI mods and such.[/QUOTE] Update: the STALKER anomaly evader does not work in 0.65

[QUOTE=Activeellis;27508878]Oh, no. You broke your quicksave. [b]Sitcom laugh[/b][/QUOTE] Nah, he was fixing a controller bug from a save i sent him. When he sent it back this happened. He fixed a crash with another crash, makes perfect sense. Nah, it's allright, really, at least the controller is dead.

Yeah, 0.65 makes NPCs walk into anomalies Doomy.

I wish drop box would support opera :smith:

Nobody has commented on my mod other than Doom giving me a wrench. :smith:
