Dear diary, today I heard the roar of a bloodsucker right behind me, then a dog jumped out of a bush. Dear diary, I am currently dead. [editline]11th January 2011[/editline] And what is this? SGM 1.7 plus new artefacts! [url]http://ux.getuploader.com/stalker/download/1/SGM_COP_v1.7_New+Artefacts_jp.zip[/url]

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;27347792]What's wrong with your gamma settings[/QUOTE] Had to push that and brightness all the way to the end, the game was pitch black for me. Hang on, I'll get a "normal" picture up.

Everytime I do with a stalker to the swamp, they get attacked by bandits, I dont even need to get the artefacts, I just take all the weapons

[QUOTE=gnoob;27344496]Can someone post that screenshot of that random stalker who said something like "sometimes I get so desperate even the mutants start to look good"? It's hilarious, and quite relevant[/QUOTE] Late but I found it [media]http://i.imgur.com/qIw9t.jpg[/media]

Sent you, Thorny, an e-mail on your Redux account.

Of I was to write something also, should I post it here or send it to Thorny?

Send it to Thorny after organizing it.

Perfection.

[QUOTE=Paravin;27348619]Perfection.[/QUOTE]Not really, more like a rough diamond in the sense that it is practically the source of all Western STALKER mod content for the past 3-4 years.

Can someone give me a link for Narodnaya Solyanka? I've tried downloading a couple in zip files but it says unknown compression method...

Remember when i asked for a word of advice about those bmp's at cordon? And one of you said to use an rpg. Anyway now that i got back to it i noticed that the heaviest thing i had was one shot for under barrel grenade launcher, so i tried and i missed then i just ran in took the documents and ran back to sid just like that. I did use trees for cover but that's how it went, conveniently there was only one soldier since all 9 others had attacked rookie camp few days earlier and died.

There's a stretched out dog in the bar. Also, Scoped Mosin Nagant is a massive dissapointment.

Dear Diary, today was even weirder. After talking to Barkeep over the military next to Freedom's base endangering the saftey of the Bar and the saftey of Scarecrow's group, it was decided that I, the sexy rookie with the scoped moist nugget as my weapon-of choice, have to go to the Warehouses in 7AM and ask Scarecrow & Co. about the situation. This is me going to sleep in the bar after a good night's chat. [img]http://j.imagehost.org/0390/ss_luka_01-11-11_16-27-13_l05_bar.jpg[/img] This is me sobering to the notice of the letters "X16". [img]http://j.imagehost.org/0613/ss_luka_01-11-11_16-34-19_l05_bar.jpg[/img] Anyhow, after realizing that I drank too much gunsmith vodka, I pull out my Scoped Moist Nugget and my AK47 and my Walhter P99 and go North! After a brief chat with the fellow Dolgers and Skull I set off towards the sound of the gunfire West of my position. It came from Scarecrow's camp. Upon arriving there, I have seen a clash consisting of Wolf, Smartass, Scarecrow, Master, Father Diodor and some random expirienced stalker against a pseudogiant and an 8 man squad of Spetsnaz and Ukranian Military troops. Smartass took a bullet to the head and went down first. Wolf fired back and killed their second-in-command. Scarecrow and Master opened fire at the Pseudogiant, but the damn thing got them out of cover and Scarecrow died in a storm of bullets. Father Diodor managed to pick off two of the lowest ranks from the other hill until the squad leader didn't incapped him. The random stalker killed the third-in-command, and then got killed by another soldier. Wolf killed one more guy and then the leader blew his head off. The pseudogiant kept chasing Master around, until he cornered him and Master met his end under the foot of a Pseudogiant. I finished off the Pseudogiant and killed the remaining military troops and patched up Father Diodor. This is the stack of bodies minus pseudogiant. [img]http://j.imagehost.org/0830/ss_luka_01-11-11_17-17-54_l07_military.jpg[/img] This is Father Diodor, with the battlezone in the background. [img]http://j.imagehost.org/0157/ss_luka_01-11-11_17-11-37_l07_military.jpg[/img] After I left to try and find the source of all the military members coming out of the warehouses, I get attacked by three Chimeras! [img]http://g.imagehost.org/0348/ss_luka_01-11-11_17-18-48_l07_military.jpg[/img] But it's not like they are up to match of my Scoped Moist Nugget. [img]http://g.imagehost.org/0027/ss_luka_01-11-11_17-19-10_l07_military.jpg[/img] [img]http://j.imagehost.org/0334/ss_luka_01-11-11_17-19-14_l07_military.jpg[/img] After that I said "fuck it", sat down with Diodor, we exchanged some food and went on about how the Zone is the shittiest place in the universe. Dear Diary, today was a very sad, but also a very happy day for many of us stalkers. Some of the most expirienced stalkers ever known perished in a single shootout, yet we put an end to the constant assaults of the Spetsnaz and we took down three deadly Chimeras and a Pseudogiant. This sacrifice was enough to guarantee safety of many future experts, but I still have to finish my goal: to find and destroy the military base and save the Bar from constant harrassment of the military! Such is life in the Zone.

Right, sold a ridiculous amount of loot, now to head back to x18 or whatever, the one in the dark valley! Also, the military attacked the Bar, defeated though Duty lost one guard.

You know, for 11 people reading there's not much posting going on.

Such is life in the Zone.[/QUOTE] Why do you keep changing the position of the FPS counter? It's best placed at the upper right corner, since in most games there's no HUD there. And why do you keep it in screenshots anyway? [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/795329/Pictures/me/screnshot/2011-01-11_1916.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;27349924]And why do you keep it in screenshots anyway?[/QUOTE] So I can know when the setting I changed lowered or raised my framerate, and I do that all the time.
