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

My new freeplay Stalker will be known as Paravin, and he will kill EVERYTHING. [b]IN HONOR OF THE MONOLITH[/b]

Away for little over a day. Oh well I guess I have 702 posts to catch up to. I read basicly all day. 719 new posts. Fuck it. What has happened?

[b]Oh Monolith, bless those who die in righteous service to you oh glorious Monolith[/b]

Brothers! Today the Monolith gave me strenght to win many fiery battles! I smited the enitre Cordon base and blew up their vehichles! I destroyed the heretic outpost below the cordon bridge! I fought off hundreds of dogs after being blessed by the Monolith itself! I recovered many lost Monolith relics and equipment! [B]ALL GLORY TO THE MONOLITH[/B] I shall talk about it more in Pripyat when I wake up at the campfire in the Library after we are done with the preaching, don't forget to bring your severed stalker head on a rebar pole!

I decided to buy C.O.P a while ago, even with my shitty specs. When I started it up I was delighted to find that it ran at about 70fps at my native resolution (1920 x 1080) on all high, 0xAA. However, I noticed that it was set to use "Static Lighting" or something to that extent so I decided to see how much I could take. After setting it to full HDR DX10, it ran at an average of 8fps, so that obviously wasn't good. I set it to "Object Dynamic Lighting", but, now, every time I try to start the game it immediately tells me the engine has stopped working and CTDs. I found this in my "logs" folder, I'm not sure if it's relevant: [code]* Detected CPU: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz [GenuineIntel], F6/M7/S10, 2494.00 mhz, 35-clk 'rdtsc' * CPU features: RDTSC, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, MONITOR/MWAIT, SSSE3 * CPU threads: 2 Initializing File System... using fs-ltx fsgame.ltx FS: 39090 files cached 29 archives, 8252Kb memory used.

You should have the game crash again and then ctrl+v into the thread. That error log you just posted isn't really helpful.

Such is life in the Ukraine.

Am I the only one playing vanilla clear sky? Also, after i'm done with that, what's a good overhaul mod for CS?

[QUOTE=Oneperson;27462301]Hey, that worked, except now the settings are back to default. Such is life in the Ukraine.[/QUOTE] Yeah, user.ltx contains all your settings. Change your controls/resolution etc, quit the game, back it up then fiddle with the lighting modes.

[QUOTE=Thorny;27462158]you gays wasted the monolith page :smith:[/QUOTE]I didn't waste it, I praised the Monolith in all it's glory :smith:

Monolith is stupid anyways.

I'm still really confused on this immunity stuff. [sect_monolit_outfit_immunities] burn_immunity = 0.03 ;êîýôôèöèåíòû èììóíèòåòà ñàìîãî êîñòþìà strike_immunity = 0.01 shock_immunity = 0.03 wound_immunity = 0.015 radiation_immunity = 0.00 telepatic_immunity = 0.00 chemical_burn_immunity = 0.03 explosion_immunity = 0.03 fire_wound_immunity = 0.01 This is the default stats for monolith suit. Can someone tell me what would happen If I made all the values to zero, and what would happen if I put all the values to 1?

Freedom faction for lyfe! damn broke my automerge

Monolith rapes freedom.

[QUOTE=myng;27462594]Monolith rapes freedom.[/QUOTE] NOPE, not when the monolith attacked the freedom camp. They got buttraped.

[QUOTE=seano12;27462624]NOPE, not when the monolith attacked the freedom camp. They got buttraped.[/QUOTE] A single monolithian without my help, killed the whole camp watching the barrier

[QUOTE=seano12;27463109]Pictures.[/QUOTE] Never took any. :smith:

Right now I'm rummaging through S.T.A.L.K.E.R Filefront to see if there are any relatively small mods that Doom might find interesting. It would be cool if it was kind of watered-down in a way similar to most MMORPG's (but not too much), so that gameplay is slower and you don't get a shitload of guns and become a warmonger after a few hours and get bored. Like make weapons and stuff harder to find. Hard to think of an effective way to slow things down.
