S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread - Call of :smith: - Games

[QUOTE=Devodiere;27519614]I found some glitches, not big but eh. Zombie corpses don't show up on the minimap. Not a big deal since they rarely have anything but still strange. Zombies also have a habit of sitting there growling at you. I think it might be because they redetect you every half second and can't get past groaning to actually shoot at you.[/QUOTE]In vanilla, zombie corpses don't show up on the minimap. Personally, i'd prefer to leave it that way, since they are, after all, not really stalkers anymore. Doubtful their PDAs work anymore. It's a fairly simple fix to change that iirc. The second thing is a bug with detection values, that i'll hopefully avoid when i'm redoing the mod.

Ok, never noticed them not being there myself. Lurk had the problem of there not being any ammo on corpses. Know how to fix that?

Know how to fix that?[/QUOTE]scripts/xiani_config.scriot dm_keep_items = false Set it to true You'll find that NPCs drop absolutely everything they own now, rather than having their inventories randomly filled according to loot tables. I disabled it because of the incredible imbalance of killing a faction trader and selling their stuff (compounded with the greater supply of stuff for the Military and Merc traders), pending a fix for that, but you can re-enable it if you feel things are too sparse. I haven't had the opportunity for a thorough playtest, especially with redoing the entire thing.

Doom, can you fix the borked sights of Bizon?

[QUOTE=Calkkuna;27519756]Doom, can you fix the borked sights of Bizon?[/QUOTE]I could try. Could you post a pic of the sight picture at the moment?

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;27519775]I could try. Could you post a pic of the sight picture at the moment?[/QUOTE] Okay, might take a while though.

Eagerly awaiting a new Doom's mod upload! EDIT: Left the last one downloading overnight, woke up to play and found it had stopped at 76% :smithicide:

Hmm, this is highly unusual. Does the AK-74's muzzle flash work fine? I figure I could use that one's muzzle flash values.

Just musing here, but I thought this idea might add a little immersion to one's stalking. In SoC, traders send you on artifact hunts for specfic items. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to request an artifact via a trader? If you've got the rubles and time, you could obtain a much-needed artifact to delve deeper into the zone. This is probably in a mod someplace, but I don't recall ever seeing it. I'd assume it was possible, since there are weapon request scripts. Even better, a nearby Stalker could be sent away to "hunt" for the artifact.

A more complicated solution, e.g. a dialog which, after a certain time, calls you back to the trader to receive the artifact, is more difficult but absolutely doable.

It looks like the ui_icon_equipment.dds file is not the right one for whatever mod you're running.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;27519580] I figure I might add OL's NPC companion thing, but have it strictly limited to one's own faction. [/QUOTE] I've been thinking about a bunch, I haven't played OL since well a long time ago, but being able to recruit some guys to go with you would be great. Also with AMK:SE and DoomPlay does anyone get issues of their inventory breaking, like items below a certain point become unclickable?

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;27520128]What mod are you running? It looks like the ui_icon_equipment.dds file is not the right one for whatever mod you're running.[/QUOTE] I'm using your mod.

[QUOTE=Chernobyl1948;27520183]I'm using your mod.[/QUOTE]Strange. Go to textures/ui, check that ui_icon_equipment.dds is 16 megabytes in size. If it's not, you've got the wrong one. The one in the main texture folder, the 2mb file, is not to be used.

[QUOTE=Whitelegs2;27520145] Also with AMK:SE and DoomPlay does anyone get issues of their inventory breaking, like items below a certain point become unclickable?[/QUOTE] I also have this issue in AMK:SE. I seem to recall it being there in OL 2.2 also. Not a huge deal usually, but I hate having to throw a lot of my looted guns down to puff on a diet sausage when I get hungry. Such is life in the Zone I guess.

Doom upload faster! I want to try your mod.

I'll be redoing the ui_icon_equipment.dds, to remove unneeded icons in an attempt to reduce size, but that'll take a while :/ [editline]19th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Tinter;27520284]Doom upload faster!

It'd make me happy if I could get it to do so, and maybe get incorporated into bigger mods.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;27520313]Do you have the weight limit modified in order to have massive amounts of items?? I often do, but i've never had that happen before.[/QUOTE] I can't speak for Whitelegs, but my weight limit is the default. Maybe it has something to do with the quantity of items, I tend to have a lot of smaller items in my inventory.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;27520313]Do you have the weight limit modified in order to have massive amounts of items?? I often do, but i've never had that happen before.[/QUOTE] Nah when I play with the default weight given in the mods 50kg/80kg or whatever it happens, It just doesnt seem to like scrolling, can't remember if it was still bad with higher weights.
