S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: Stalkers raving in the face of danger - Games

I dunno, I went up to them but all I got was "Can't go there!"

Oh, I meant at the outermost pixel of the screen, might be in a different location due to different resolutions.

[QUOTE=MadCatMkII;21950517]What's the name of that mod that someone's making for CoP that's combining all 3 game maps?[/QUOTE] :aaaaa: My dream COP mod! Link now.

Imported maps are probably empty so whats the point

They're making quests, you dolt. [editline]09:01PM[/editline] Ok, what the fuck. I did the mission where you go into the kindergarten (lion scared me :3:), broke the thingy and saved the medic. Garry is at yanov and i can't find the guy who repairs things in pripyat. One of my guns is half damaged and i need it repaired. Where the fuck did he go? [editline]09:02PM[/editline] Nvm, found him :3:

God I hate that [sp]crying sound.[/sp] Freaked me out, and when I got the guts to go on it took me 5 seconds to kill the actual [sp] burer [/sp] that was lurking in there..

:byodood: why did i click your spoilers!?

I finally got Complete downloaded for SHOC, but disaster has struck. A few weeks ago, Clear Sky (which I was playing through seriously for the first time) just stopped working. I'd been playing with no issues just hours beforehand, but when I next tried to launch it, BugTrap came up before it even fullscreened for the intro credits. Annoyed but not entirely deterred, I went back to CoP. A few days later, it does the same. This pissed me off, but at least SHOC still worked great! Well, not anymore. About two days ago it joined them in not working land. All three crash in the same way, all three are totally vanilla at the moment, and at no point leading up to the fuckups did I change any settings ingame or on my PC. Tried reinstalling SHOC but no dice; all that did was waste 25% of my monthly download cap in a single day. Also made sure nothing was running in the background, turned off the Steam overlay, made sure Securom was uninstalled, still nothing. When I can handle the pain of reinstalling some 50 programs without wanting to end my miserable existence, I'm going to see if reinstalling W7 helps any. I don't suppose anyone here has had the same issue and fixed it? I've found absolutely nothing of use floating about and the one guy I found who had apparently fixed the problem is a total jack cunt and wouldn't say how. This is driving me up the wall.

I'm at the "are you ready to leave the zone?" Part. I get freeplay if i press no, right?

[QUOTE=MadCatMkII;21952833]I'm at the "are you ready to leave the zone?" Part. I get freeplay if i press no, right?[/QUOTE] Yes. Yes if you press No, I mean.

[QUOTE=MadCatMkII;21952833]I'm at the "are you ready to leave the zone?" Part. I get freeplay if i press no, right?[/QUOTE] You still have the option to leave if you talk to Garry or that pilot guy.

I'm still waiting for the "ultimate" mod for Call of Pripyat. (No, that's [b]not[/b] a mod's name, I'm expressing what would be the best mod, IMO.) - Maps from CS and SoC that are not already in CS. All of them with NPCs, mutants, and the new aspects of CoP like a personal locker, medic, and a sleeping area. There would be no guides though, I miss the traveling in the previous games, arriving in Pripyat on master in SoC feels legendary, because of the work and traveling. Here is an illustration of how the world would be traversed. [IMG_thumb]http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/6623/mapgn.png[/IMG_thumb] If you include the underground locations from CoP and previous games(X16, X18, Sarcophagus), that's 20+ locations. - New weapons, lots of them. Somewhat like LURK, except with higher quality models and texturing. All of them will be seamlessly integrated with the traders and NPC loadouts. - More active AI to bring a more open-world feel. Immediate access to all areas. (given that you take the time to travel there.) Once you travel to them, you can use the fast travel feature via PDA. - REAMLISM.

Holy fuck this is a lot of monolith fighters :ohdear:

Join them. There are many benefits......

Such as daily praises to the Wish Granter.

That would effectively keep players from getting there until AFTER they are pro enough to pass the CNPP. There should be a way around. EDIT: Like the Dead City, to the West.

You shouldn't have to pass trough Pripyat or the CNPP to go to Zaton.

Can i go to the CNPP in CoP? [editline]01:39AM[/editline] Nevermind, i guess you can't :smith:

There is a mod for all the maps in CoP im just not sure how functional it is. Its somewhere on a Russian website I'm sure i saved a bookmark or SOMETHING.

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;21959925]There is a mod for all the maps in CoP im just not sure how functional it is. Its somewhere on a Russian website I'm sure i saved a bookmark or SOMETHING.[/QUOTE] It's not very functional yet. It's called "Real Zone".

How do i find the group at the cooling tower in COP?

[QUOTE=spekter;21960644]How do i find the group at the cooling tower in COP?[/QUOTE] You need to trigger a quest from Owl to give three Veles detectors to Novikov/Gray. After some time he'll build you a super strong Svarog Detector and you'll have to trigger another quest about locating the [sp]Space anomaly[/sp] in the Cooling Tower. edit: Also, I've just been to Zagreb and it turns out that CoP is all over the gamer stores.

So does [i]anyone[/i] have [i]any[/i] idea what's causing my problem? I'm going mental here. I want to play STALKER, dammit.
