S.T.A.L.K.E.R Series Megathread: Horseradish Carnage Suit edition. - Games

Well it appears my NO MEMORY LOL problems have been solved by dumbing down my graphics from full dynamic to static lighting. (SMP V2.4.9.9) I just finished playing STALKER for roughly 7 hours straight.

So, I go to the center of the Yantar "complex" area and find about 7 Snorks. I climb up on top of the old crane and start taking potshots with my G36. The zombies hear this and start coming over so now it's 11 enemies or so all shooting at me and I've got no cover whatsoever. Fuck this. And on top of that, my Steam overlay suddenly stopped working in STALKER. :(

We thank you! Oh, Monolith! For reviling our Enemies cunning plans to us! Oh, Monolith! Who guides us with it's eternal wisdom! Who we honor with our eternal service! Praise be The Monolith!

How do you convince Duty/Freedom to accept the Monolith Squad?

Talk to Duty Leader, they accepted the first time I mentioned it.

Get out of there, Neo! The Matrix has you!

[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;20073070]wtf are you sending me -snip-[/QUOTE] ... It's a 7zip file. Just right click on the link and save as.

GSC fucked up with the release. The pirates have recently released this game, BEFORE steam. Huge mistake on their part, there goes half the North American profit from this game.

[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;20072982]Talk to Duty Leader, they accepted the first time I mentioned it.[/QUOTE] Apparently I'm not trusted by either faction, And the logical thing is to try and do missions for them, but they don't seem to want to give out missions. /sigh

I think Duty accepted because I ALWAYS sold them any information I got a hold of and they were interested in and I told them about Freedom looting their Warehouse. I wish I could join the Monolith Faction..

Argus Texture Mod uses unnecessarily large textures.

[QUOTE=SomeFaggot;20073368]Argus Texture Mod uses unnecessarily large textures.[/QUOTE] Agreed. Only textures I really use from it are the ground textures and some of the various world textures.

Why do the normals need to be 4096x4096? This is easily remedied, but it just seems like some incredibly stupid decisions were made.

It's not a simple bumpmap where brighter=higher.

[QUOTE=std DONOR;20070087]I'm no longer getting a log, the game takes a long ass time to load, then around 15 seconds into it it freezes for like 3 seconds, plays fine for another 10, then crashes straight to desktop.[/QUOTE] Ctrl+V into notepad after a crash for a crash log.

[QUOTE=Libertas;20073820]Speaking of normals, does anyone know how those work? Like, what color means what and all?

A lot of shit goes into normals, and it uses different channels to represent different planes if I remember right. [B]Edit:[/B] Yeah, different channels = different dimensions: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mapping[/url]

[QUOTE=Viephemeral;20073224]GSC fucked up with the release. The pirates have recently released this game, BEFORE steam.

[QUOTE=Amez;20074022]Oh god Fakefactory, if that fucker even tries to mod any STALKER I will destroy him.[/QUOTE] It is because the bastard tries to change art direction. I WANT IT TO BE HIGH DEFINITION, NOT SOME WEIRD SHIT!

[QUOTE=Amez;20074022]Oh god Fakefactory, if that fucker even tries to mod any STALKER I will destroy him.[/QUOTE] Can I have what's left?

I never pirate PC games, or any games for that matter. If people steal there is no incentive to keep creating for the PC audience.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;20072612]Where is this family rifle? I'm right ontop of it in the trainyard, yet I can't find the sumbitch. I want to find it before sundown. : ( I assumed it'd be in the box in the cabinets. Buuuut the box was empty when I went in it.

Nevermind

[QUOTE=Lyoko774;20074246]Can I have what's left?[/QUOTE] We can destroy him at the same time :D.

Does anyone know if there is a way to go into the game and find all the dialog sounds? I want to hear a quote in game again.
