S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: *Spot Bloodsucker* I didn't want to go there anyway - Games

[QUOTE=TheBigPal;20392830]Is there a way to downgrade a patch? I want to try out AMK mod but my game is 1.0005, and it requires 1.0004. Is it as simple as just running the 1.0004 patch?[/QUOTE] there is a patch you can install, not sure of the link, but just google like "AMK on 1.0005" or words to that effect, youll find it, my amk runs on 1.005. there is a amk patch on stalker files at the minute which may work, but that may only be for the jj mod pack on there. but trust me, there is a way to get it working on 1.0005 EDIT i think this is it [url]http://xarvius.ucoz.ru/Mods/AMK_14_for_Patch_10005.7z[/url]

Hopefully they won't look like shit. I might just make some avatar bands or badge templates.

In SoC, if an artifact has +2% radiation. Does that mean it constantly gives you radiation while you wear it or only increase the radiation you recieve?

[QUOTE=Stripez;20397038]In SoC, if an artifact has +2% radiation. Does that mean it constantly gives you radiation while you wear it or only increase the radiation you recieve?[/QUOTE] Constant I believe. Though if your suit has high rad protection I think it just increases how much you receive.

You should post them next to each other, I don't like to have a long column going down the post. [editline]01:53PM[/editline] Check this to see what I mean [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=20386841&postcount=309[/url]

[QUOTE=Stripez;20397038]In SoC, if an artifact has +2% radiation. Does that mean it constantly gives you radiation while you wear it or only increase the radiation you recieve?[/QUOTE] The description of the artifact says that it emmits radiation if it's radioactive.

I'll edit the post.

I'm in a dilemma right now: buy the awesome suit from Sakharov or keep my guardian of freedom (with all tier 1 combat upgrades)? [img]http://www.shrani.si/f/1n/Xr/1lO7cwRm/bulat.jpg[/img] I think i'll buy it, but no artifact containers is quite a big downside. And it's heavy too, 12kg without upgrades.

Drop the LR and all unused ammo. Keep sniper ammo just incase and buy the suit. It's worth it with upgrades. Infact, drop the ak aswell. If you can keep the money rolling in you won't need the AK and a lot of the time pistols are dead weight.

I'll drop the "trs 301", i was only carrying it around because i was under 50kg. No way i'm dropping the ak and pistol, they're awesome :3: My main concern here is lack of artifact container, but i think the extra protection will more than make up for it. edit: the shotgun ammo is a really good way of controlling weight :v:. I usually just drop it if i have too much stuff on me and then buy it back after i unload the unneeded crap.

I think seva can get containers. Been a while since I played CS so I can't remember :saddowns:

So I finished CoP. [sp]Strelok + the Lieutenant got bugged just before the evac choppers, they just stood there and didn't do anything, so then it said they were dead and I had to leave them behind... Also, what was that about Zulu? I got an auto-save that said 'Zulu found' but I didn't see him... Also, what happened to being able to play after the end? I thought I could continue STALKERing after the ending? ALSO - I never got any of this 'Monolith joining Freedom/Duty stuff you guys are talking about, and I never even got the Gauss Rifle repaired... I got the documents from X8 but...[/sp]

[QUOTE=spekter;20397341]What difficulty are you on? I think seva can get containers. Been a while since I played CS so I can't remember :saddowns:[/QUOTE] I think normal difficulty. But the seva has way worse bullet protection, i'll buy the bulat.

I had the zulu found save too but he wasn't anywhere.[/sp] If you choose to not leave in the chopper you stay in the zone. Would be better if they showed you the ending as well as let you stay. [editline]02:35PM[/editline] [QUOTE=pebkac;20397392]I think normal difficulty. But the seva has way worse bullet protection, i'll buy the bulat.[/QUOTE] Bulat is great if you upgrade it fully. Your making me wanna play clear sky again now lol

You have to fight your way out, or what?

[QUOTE=Thorny;20397444]What happens if you don't leave? You have to fight your way out, or what?[/QUOTE] Your able to move around as normal. You can't leave after choosing to stay though. You do have to fight your way out of that section of Pripyat though. Pretty tough depending on how many you took down getting there. [editline]02:44PM[/editline] If I can't [sp]save Strelok[/sp] on my current playthrough I'm gonna stay and see what it's like.

I love my SEVA suits 5 artifact slots, even if it practically becomes useless after a firefight or two. :sax: [URL=http://img189.imageshack.us/i/ssfox022410154321milita.jpg/][IMG]http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/651/ssfox022410154321milita.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And this one, I have no idea how he managed to get in there, but he didn't manage to kill the guy and he ignored me. Made me jump though. Contains some minor spoilers for a character you'll meet in Clear Sky.

Little mod from me for CoP, recolouring of PDA mutant portraits. Just place folder gamedata in your CoP directory. [img_thumb]http://i50.tinypic.com/14d115f.jpg[/img_thumb] Dowload link. [url]http://www.4shared.com/file/228853819/d30bbb22/PDA_Portraits_Colour_Correctio.html[/url]

Appolox where are the database files for COP? I've checked my folders but they aren't there.

Resources folder

[QUOTE=nige111;20397569]Resources folder[/QUOTE] I have the wrong extractor :v: Thanks man, I'm buying your next vodka. [editline]03:04PM[/editline] Downloaded the one for SHOC but it says unsupported file.

[QUOTE=spekter;20397577]I have the wrong extractor :v: Thanks man, I'm buying your next vodka. [editline]03:04PM[/editline] Downloaded the one for SHOC but it says unsupported file.[/QUOTE] Use the clear sky one, it should be on fpsbanana.

[QUOTE=Appolox;20397617]Use the clear sky one, it should be on fpsbanana.[/QUOTE] What format are textures in? I'm gonna have a go at reskinning something. I'm having to do a full model and texture for college and I wanna get some practice in. Been a while since I last tryed.

So, is it worth finding PDA's of Barge and Joker in CoP for Cardan? I'm wondering since I have nothing better to do in Zaton other than search for the two.

Cool avatars, made a custom one from them. Thanks to the makers/uploaders!

[QUOTE=Appolox;20397777]DDS, and you can get that photoshop plugin from Nvidia website.[/QUOTE] Nice. I think I might try the weapons as well. Never liked the AKSU texture.

[QUOTE=spekter;20397795]Nice. I think I might try the weapons as well. Never liked the AKSU texture.[/QUOTE] Remember to generate mipmaps for each texture and turn off sharpening filter while saving, it will look rubbish in game otherwise. But not every texture has mipmaps keep that in mind, always load a texture with mipmaps, close it and reload without mipmaps, and save with mipmap generating if originally texture used to have them.

Time for a new avatar, I will probably change it a bit with PS.
