S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: Shadow of Blowout Edition - Games

Goddamn rain. I'll hide in this cave to wait it out. [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g75XRJdEvMc[/hd]

[QUOTE=Thomo;19389212]Why did I have some sense that the cave would be filled with bloodsuckers? [editline]01:35AM[/editline] I hated those cave/anomoly cave fire filled [b]caves[/b] in CoP filled with snorks, this is something. [editline]01:39AM[/editline] Holy balls that cave is huge.[/QUOTE] [media]http://filesmelt.com/dl/copgaemin.jpg[/media]

[QUOTE=Sibilantjoe;19386414]Oblivion Lost and LURK let you join factions.[/QUOTE] Does LURK have the whole faction war thing going on or can you only just join them? And if it does which is better, CS's faction wars, OL's, or LURK's?

For instance, Duty took over Wild Territory.

[QUOTE=Viper202;19390519]God damn it I want this mod, since I don't recall those caves ever being in SoC.[/QUOTE] yeah. What is that?

Seriously I have no clue why my game wants to crash every time we're about to get the bridge to Limansk down, its always right at the end when I get another "Kill the sniper on the hill" updates

If anyone wants that Cave map you can get it from here. [b]Shadow of Chernobyl Map Pack by Kostya V[/b] [i]Part 1[/i] [url]www.sendspace.com/file/bp3i7p[/url] [i]Part 2[/i] [url]www.sendspace.com/file/qt72p9[/url] [i]Part 3[/i] [url]www.sendspace.com/file/y5ch1h[/url] This adds [b]11 [/b]new locations to S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but you need to have it patched to 1.0004 It doesn't come with functioning AI, but it does include tools for you to add in your own. The levels are - АТП - ATP (New map, possibly a test map for multiplayer.) - Пещера - Cave (New map) - Забытый Лес - Forgotten Forest - Лесная Чаща - Forest thicket (New map) - Логово - Den - Лиманск - Limansk (CS) - Госпиталь - Hospital (CS) - Генераторы - Generators (1935) - Варлаб - Warlab (1935) - Рыжий Лес - Red Forest (CS) - Покинутая Деревня - Lost Village (Edited Multiplayer map, I believe) - Болото из ЧН - Swamp (CS) ================= Some of the maps are absolutely empty, some of them have items, and a few of them have mutants. I'd recommend a [url=http://stalker.filefront.com/file/Atlas_Spawn_Menu_Mod;96202]spawn mod[/url] to liven things up if needed. Translate level_tasks.script to get English level titles. There are 2 map weathers included, you will need to change the far_plane in any other weather like default to 250 or there will be CTDs on the new maps.

[QUOTE=Sibilantjoe;19390262]Well, LURK doesn't really have faction war, but groups of stalkers will take over areas. For instance, Duty took over Wild Territory.[/QUOTE] How is OL's? I played Ol for a while but I never really got into the faction thing or paid any attention to it, and I know CS's faction wars is buggy as shit.

Anyone know what the SRP mod is? I'm not talking about the one that fixes bugs for Clear Sky.

Where do the SoC screenshots go? :/

[media]http://screenshot.xfire.com/screenshot/natural/f612218ab659b047b9e6aa21fef91abf3a6b0c5a.png[/media] Happened with Bandits, too.

Damn it. :saddowns: [IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/i569e0.jpg[/IMG]

Man, the old alphas had way better voice acting. [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n0gUODLu_8[/hd]

HAhahahahahah

I wish someone would release the smoking mod from SMP as a standalone/merge with OL/AMK, whatever. Trading a loner by the fire for a smoke and savoring it was coooool.

fgsfds I want to film some interesting STALKER footage but I'm still stuck in the cave.

[QUOTE=Drill Remover;19392555]fgsfds I want to film some interesting STALKER footage but I'm still stuck in the cave.[/QUOTE] I want to film some interesting STALKER footage but wegame hotkeys don't like working in STALKER games at all. Also, can someone find me a mod that adds an M4A1 as well as a bunch more weapons, to Clear Sky? I can't seem to find any!

Hey, maybe you guys can help me with this problem I am having. I just reinstalled Stalker to have another stab at it, and downloaded the complete 2009 mod to use with it as well. Whenever I walk into physics objects or break them with my knife, the physics sound is played around 100 times over each other and the first time this happened I almost shat myself. Now every time I want to break a box I fear it might break my headphones. Any ideas? :frown:

Build 1510 has humming and whistling sounds for stalkers. As does 2215.

[QUOTE=Drill Remover;19392260]Man, the old alphas had way better voice acting. [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n0gUODLu_8[/hd][/QUOTE] 2205 is a lot of fun to mess around in. I love finding ways to utterly screw up the already buggy quests. Plus the bloodsucker behavior in it kicks ass. Thank god GSC finally brought that back in CoP. That reminds me. Does anyone here know if there's a hotfix or something for Arsenal 1.2 out there? Last I checked 1.2 was fairly unstable in general, and I really want to see that remodeled VSS ingame.

This just came to me. Do you think that having no females has an adverse effect on sales in the American and Asian markets?

[QUOTE=Amez;19396017]This song is so awesome. It was playing the whole time while I raided the Bandit Base, it made it so epic.[/QUOTE] So, sad story. It was one of the Clear Sky mods, CoM or CS:Enhanced, can't recall. But basically, I had it set on my mind that I was going to become a bandit, so, did a bit of the storyline, then when I got to the garbage I snuck past the little barricades to the bandit base. They didn't shoot me, so I knew I hadn't fucked up so far. One of the reasons I wanted to join the bandits was because of the music, which I recalled as I walked in. And then, as I went over to the area that it is, I discovered something awful. The mod had replaced the music. It was the same for the Freedom bar music and other places. I pretty much uninstalled the mod right there.

[QUOTE=Drill Remover;19395657]This just came to me. Do you think that having no females has an adverse effect on sales in the American and Asian markets?[/QUOTE] In short, no. At least not in the US market. Not sure about Asia. Just look at Half-Life 1 and it's expansions, most of the Medal of Honor games, a fair amount of RTS's and multiplayer only shooters. And even more recently Modern Warfare 2 (the only females are in the airport scene, I think). I think it has more to do with the negative stereotypes surrounding Eastern Europe in general. When talking to people about STALKER and bringing up that GSC is based in the Ukraine I never hear positive initial responses. They never have good impressions of the region or any countries in it. For whatever reason, there appears to be this idea that if it came from Eastern Europe or Russia there's no way it could be "quality" or "good." Maybe it's a holdover from the cold war or bad experiences with Russian cars. Meh. That's my explanation anyway.
