S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: R.I.P. Kostya Polar Explorer - Games

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;22731314]Is it possible to go to the ferris wheel in CoP? I'd like to reenact the end of "One Shot One Kill" with Monolith taking the place of Ultranationalists.[/QUOTE] Probably not, but it's possible in SoC, apart from the fact that the ferris wheel is crammed up with anomalies.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;22730901]Yeah. Now if they [b]really[/b] wanted to make the game realistic, they would add a stamina system (if you receive a large amount of damage suddenly, from falling, getting shot, etc. you have a chance of collapsing temporarily.), and a system where getting hit by hard in general (getting pounced, hit full on by a shotgun, hit by an object thrown by a poltergeist/burer will knock you off you feet for a second or so. Would make the game hard, but fun. It would be especially cool if that could be applied to NPCs.[/QUOTE] Amk has that, to a degree

[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;22724267]That...that was fucking [b]beautiful.[/b] Really gives a feeling of the beauty of the zone, as well as a deep sense of loneliness. Goddamn. Which console commands did you use to get flyovers like that? And did you slow it down in post-production or did you set the timescale in-game? [editline]03:17AM[/editline] Also, the download link is broken. [editline]03:20AM[/editline] Wait, I didn't notice a filter on the music. What did you bring up/fade back?[/QUOTE] Thanks, I wanted to get more times of day, but dusk and night seemed to work out well. I just wish SoC had AA. Which is why I really wanted to remove the HUD in Clear Sky. Though SoC performs much better. The download version has a filtered music track like it was playing off an old phonograph. If you really didn't notice it, compare them between. I prefer the filtered version, but I kept both copies in case people wanted one or the other. The brain just gets used to whatever type of sound is coming out, so you might not notice it. [QUOTE=JoeSibilant;22724506]Hell, what song IS that, anyway? I want to put it into the "music that makes me think of STALKER" folder.[/QUOTE] The group is called 'Archive'. They make Acid-Jazz and stuff like that. The track is called 'Organ Song.' I'd recommend their whole album. A good bit of it feels like this. [editline]03:19PM[/editline] Also the console commands, at first I used Demo_record <name> to record flyby's, but for some reason you couldn't record the speed. You'd have to make a shitload of keyframes to slow down the camera in demo_play. And you can record with the flashing information on your screen, so somehow, I forget how, the text was gone. Maybe from turning on and off the hud so much, and I ended up recording in real time while controlling the camera.

Oh hey! Paravin wrote a new story! [url]www.eyebleach.com[/url] ^Relief soon, fellow stalkers!

I can't download the linked version though, it times out after I press the "download" button. That's good to know about the demo_record feature, since I was thinking of doing some Zone filmography. [editline]12:35PM[/editline] how much do the demo files weigh, usually?

No idea about demo size, I only filmed like 3 before I started FRAPS'ing the rest live, which I prefer. I would've put the video on my ISP's FTP, but for the past couple months they think I don't exist. Also for controls: Left click = Dolly in Right click = Dolly out. Q = Rotate left E = Rotate right W = Up in viewport S = Down in viewport A = Track left D = Track right Shift = Slow CTRL = UBER fast

Here, a wallpaper I made. Picture taken in build 1935. [IMG_thumb]http://image.bayimg.com/lanobaacd.jpg[/IMG_thumb] (1920x1080)

I just realized how diffrent the jaggies look in 1935.

That's because it's upscaled. A lot.

That and it has a lot of Jpeg artifacts. A lot.

Damn you jpeg and upscale! You ruined my jaggies! I will have my revenge! :argh:

Forget about Strelok. Kill Paravin.

paravin is gunslinger!!!

[QUOTE=Frostbite;22738677]Cool. So it'll arrive in 2 and a half hours?[/QUOTE] One and a half.

[QUOTE=holdenmcclure;22738736]One and a half.[/QUOTE] Whoops. Lovely teaser though. Congrats on the upcoming release.

Grr why must I be in bed right now :saddowns:

[QUOTE=Viper202;22738767]Grr why must I be in bed right now :saddowns:[/QUOTE] Two solutions: Go to sleep, wake up and play. Get the hell out of bed it's either Saturday or Sunday. You can spend a few more hours awake.
