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

Fixed missing item descriptions, just waiting on the quest translations and all will be complete. [QUOTE=Sunday_Roast;27413556]How the hell does one name a mod that is cramped with shit that doesn't fit/work S.M.R.T.E.R.? Propably some D.M.B.A.S.S.[/QUOTE]His username is "smrtphoneusr", so you're probably very right; arse can't spell smart or user properly, and decided the best way to describe himself with his username was to say he has an overpriced mobile phone :v:

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;27413009]When LA gets released, would you consider adding their version of the prerelease levels in?[/QUOTE] Doubt it, I'm not gonna take their work and just add to it. [editline]14th January 2011[/editline] SMRTER is just one of those mods that has no real aim, so just adds a fuckload of poorly done shit in an attempt to appeal to people - unfortunately it kind of succeeds, thanks to the CoD generation :/

I dunno, the rifle in the spider video looked kinda cool. The pistol in that video was very well animated as well (if untextured). The other two though...who would put reflex sights like that on a shotgun in the Zone? [editline]14th January 2011[/editline] Ghost page! Someone grab it, quick!

Fucksake, cannot find the loadouts for Freeplay Start. One would've thought they'd be in config/gameplay, but nooo :/ [b]EDIT:[/b] Oh wait, found it. [editline]14th January 2011[/editline] Anyone know how to get coordinates in SoC?

God damn, STALKER can be pretty depressing at times. I'm in Cordon, and I pass by that bandit camp I've cleaned out endless of times, to spot a lone bandit walking around inside. It's raining and it's gray outside. I decide to not go blazing guns and follow him, in hope to perhaps pull a stealthy one, and sneak on in cautiously. He goes into their main building, with the bunk-beds and the campfire and all that. Suddenly as I pass his friend's corpses trying to make my way into the building as carefully as I can I hear a guitar playing, kind of surprised me. I take a peek at what he's doing, and there - infront of the fire - he sits, all alone, playing on his guitar, the saddest melody I've ever heard. Next to him lies the corpses of his fallen buddies, some scattered around the room, about 15 of them. He puts the guitar away after a while and starts... talking to himself, I'm not even kidding here. Laughing at several occasions. Before I slip away and leave him alone, he notices me and draws his weapon, I have to put him down. :smith: jesus christ...

Man that guy playing during the spider video sucked. He should have flicked that BAR to fast auto and blew the shit out of those spiders.

Well he was probably trying to 'show them off' if you can call it that, rather than kill them quickly.

The better thing to do would of been to go somewhere where he doesn't lag to shit and have a fuck load of them run at him.

So things are pretty much working properly now, except for the leather jacket icon. Since LURK doesn't have a usable novice jacket, and therefore no icon for it, I had to add the normal one into it's icons_equipment.dds myself. That's a temporary fix until I completely reorganise the file myself. I then need to add the items that Freeplay Start adds back into the trade files, since if it's not present there, the game defaults to the prices specified in the items.ltx; 500 for a PDA is a tad on the unbalanced side.

Leather Jacket made of RPG-7 and Sawed off

Does anyone know how I can restore the default AMK weather in people soup I'm not really liking their one? All the right files are there but my attempts just end in crashes.

How do I fix the shadows on the edges of the screen in SoC?

I'm definitely going to get all the stalker games soon, Which one is the newest? Which one is the best in your opinion? Worst? I just noticed I'm bored of minecraft, so I come here, Find out stalker looks fucking amazing.

[QUOTE=pip12345;27415283]What mod are you running?[/QUOTE]Freeplay Start 1.21 + Faction Wars, LURK weapons. Soon going to add a bunch more mods, and going to figure out how to add the cut mutants. [editline]14th January 2011[/editline] Ooh, and a minimalistic HUD.

Anyway to stop it bloody raining in AMK:SE? It's been raining since the start of the game.

Play vanilla the first time, then play with mods, then get drunk and play vanilla again. You'll spend 2 years playing these.

Worst is probably Clear Sky, but it's still good fun and adds shitloads to the overall story. Play SoC - CS - CoP, all without mods (e.g 'Vanilla') first time, then again whenever you like using the multitude of mods there are out there.

[QUOTE=cyclocius;27415463]Anyway to stop it bloody raining in AMK:SE? It's been raining since the start of the game.[/QUOTE]Without replacing the weather system (rather difficult as it's very intertwined in the mod's code), nope.

[QUOTE=Nerts;27415790]But how would you masturbate?[/QUOTE]You threaten to shove an RPG rocket up a stalker's arse if he doesn't give you a blowjob.
