[QUOTE=rnate;39852065]I keep finding these graveyards in TFW...average day, I suppose. Also, I'm reuploading TFW 3.8 somewhere, I had to download it about 10 times before it finally finished. [editline]9th March 2013[/editline] [URL]http://rapidgator.net/file/a0005f2b8ae0d349a113505cbf86a4fc/The_Faction_War_v3.8beta.rar.html[/URL] There we go, random upload site, seems to be capped at 100kb/s... but better than one that errors all the time. If you guys know of a good file host website, I can reupload it again.[/QUOTE] Is there a version of the weapon ballistics and sounds addon for TFW 3.8?

Vadim Klopenberg was a thirty five years old shoe salesman from Minsk. His daily routine involved a glass of cheap Belorussian vodka in the morning, selling knock-off Adidas and Nike boots during the working hours, and a two liter bottle of spirited beer. The weekends were the same, just excluding the middle part. He lived from paycheck to paycheck, and his expenses were just the necessities – food, alcohol and the bills for utilities. Vadim had lost his parents ten years ago, his wife had died during childbirth with his son. The man had nothing to live for, yet he chose not to embrace death, for he was, even though all of his troubles, a devout orthodox. When reports started coming in the radio of the Chernobyl area being infused with monstrosities, physical anomalies and artifacts worth more than diamonds, he did not think for long. One day he burst into his apartment after a long and unsatisfying day at work, opened his wardrobe, threw a load of his remaining clothing in a plastic bag, gathered the remaining unspoiled food from his refrigerator, took a swig of vodka and set off to the train station. A few months later he was known in the Zone as ''Valentine''. His bowmanship had earned him great fame and envy, and a bit of hate, for not all agreed with his christian values – he spared lives, helped those in need and sold what he had hunted. He had been clean of alcohol for three months, when one day underneath an oak tree a figure approached his campsite. The man was cloaked by darkness, his face illuminated by the light of the fire was scarred. He had black eyebrows, and a pair of dark brown eyes which jumped around nervously. His AK was rusty and, just like the owner, smelled of feces and the swamp. Valentine cast one glance at him and waved for him to sit down by the fire, immediately going back to work on carving an arrow. He had lost several of them today in a hunt against a very feisty pseudodog. Only after he had resorted to plunging his knife into the head of the beast, had the animal fallen down and accepted defeat. The stranger took no time, and sat down. After rummaging around his pockets, he revealed a bended cigarette, which he then folded with his leather-gloved fingers and put in his mouth and lit up with a piece of burning wood. A quick puff later, he opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Valentine. “ Kjusha, I know why you are here. You and your friend have been hunting me for the past day. Your tracks were easy to see, and you both were very precise when it came to falling into puddles and muck. Is there a reason for your company this evening? ” Kjusha smiled and exhaled a cloud of thick smoke. “ I find it hard to believe that you would just plop yourself down in the middle of a forest, alone and expose yourself with a fire.” “ But, tell me, weren't you anxious or scared to approach me? ” He sighed and put down his knife. “ And I would be very glad if your friend might join us here by the warmth, I don't want him to freeze, it is quite chilly tonight! ” Immediately a man wielding a shotgun dragged himself out of the nearby bushes. Just like Kjusha he had the odor of a dead animal and the look of a bum. His clothing was much too thin for the chilly evening, so he shivered quite noticeably while heating his hands by the fire. “ Now, druzji, is there a reason for your terrible tracking? ” The new arrival quickly spoke up. His face was much like Kjusha, yet, instead of a beautiful and long black beard that complemented his dirty hair, his face and head was without a single hair. “ Bljin, Valentine, you pridurak. We came here to kill you. ” Valentine was unphased by this, on the other hand, he seemed even cheery, as he grabbed another piece of wood and started carving it. “ Oh? And to what do I owe the pleasure? ” “ My name is Victor Mikhaelovich Tuskan. I was a pilot in the Ukrainian Air Force, until a few years ago I got cancer. They threw me out of the job and I had to spend all of my money on health procedures that did not cure me. The ubljudaki experimented more on me than they tried to save me. I was reduced to nothing more than a lab rat. ” “ This is Kjusha, my brother .” He waved at the man next to him, who had now finished his smoke and was eying Valentine carefully. “ We came here after our country failed to help me and threw me in the trash for being a useless strain on the society. Much like in the old Soviet days, the only man I could trust was my brother, and he had heard rumors. Wonderful rumors about the Zone. So now we have been tracking a prekrasnoj artifact – the Sun Flower, which has been said to cure any disease or illness. I will cut straight to the point. Hand it over or you will not live to see daylight. ” “ You know I can't just give it away to you, molodoj celovek. ” “ We were counting on that, so that's why we brought these - ” Kjusha and Victor both suddenly stood up and raised their weapons aiming at the head of the lone hunter. Yet once more he seemed very much tolerant of this. He spoke up after cleaning splinters off of his brand new arrow. “ I asked Kjusha if he was nervous or anxious to approach me, so, tell me, were you? ” Kjusha nervously looked down and dragged his feet. Indeed, it was his plan to approach him head-on and take him by surprise. “ You are an armed man, yes, I was nervous. ” “ And you probably knew I was aware of you both following me. Druzji, tell me, was this really the wisest choice? ” The brothers were looked at each other and quickly grasped their weapons more firmly, but before they could fire a single shot, Valentine grasped his large hunting knife by the hilt and threw it more quickly than the eye could see, it shot through the air and.. It hit a branch. Both men started laughing but it was soon interrupted by the sound of wood splitting and cracking. Before they knew anything was going on, they were underneath one of the heaviest branches the tree had managed to grow. They were trapped and could not even see their weapons, let alone grasp them. “ Ploho, druzji, ploho! You should have shot me when you had the chance. But, no worries, I will send someone your way when I meet them tomorrow morning to help you ludji out of this predicament. Now, you've been a wonderful company tonight, but I must be off. ” He grasped his hat from a nearby branch, grabbed his bow and turned around once more to face the brothers. But before he could speak a word, a gasp broke out of his mouth. Shock sat in. What was it? Had he forgotten something? Yes, he had. But what? He checked his pockets and when he removed his backpack and looked into it, he saw it. His knife stood proudly from his chest. Close enough to the heart to be deadly, far enough not to kill instantly. He cast his gaze on the two men, fell to his knees heavily, smiled and whispered out before collapsing unto the firepit. “ Thanks, I almost forgot my knife. ” [editline]9th March 2013[/editline] That was harder to write than expected. I need more practice.

[QUOTE=DigitalySane;39857210]I use sendspace.[/QUOTE] Tried that website, was testing to see if the download worked and what not. [quote]Sorry, this connection has reached the 300MB hourly download limit.[/quote] Kind of a pain in the ass when the download is 450mb.

You could always try compressing it with 7zip, although I doubt that would shave off 150 MB. [editline]9th March 2013[/editline] You could split it? :v:

I split it, the issue is that when someone downloads it they'll have to wait 1 hour to download the 2nd part.

I forgot how fucked up the wishgranter endings for SOC were. D:

I wish S.T.A.L.K.E.R. had a "golden sphere" as well as the wish granter e.g. the nice version of the wish granter (minus the meat grinder anomaly that cock blocks you).

Okay, here's a better link for TFW 3.8 on mediafire, download speed is decent. Split up into 3 parts. If you don't know, just right click the 1st file (after all are downloaded) and extract here. [URL]http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?oqx6ndts2687kxn[/URL] Part 1 [URL]http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1bdvxbkth87rvv2[/URL] Part 2 [URL]http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?psuiu348m4apiw4[/URL] Part 3 [editline]9th March 2013[/editline] I downloaded it and extracted it, then ran the installer just to make sure nothing got corrupted, all is fine.

OCedMyToaster just started Clear Sky TFW :dance: [video=youtube;4yFR6Ts_IAc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yFR6Ts_IAc[/video]

I wish there was more of an end game in TFW. Once you conquer the Zone all that's left to do is desperately try to glitch your way to Limansk

[QUOTE=Cerusijs;39857629]That was harder to write than expected. I need more practice.[/QUOTE] Welp, the king is back. No point for me to write anymore :v:

[QUOTE=TheStateTrooper;39861376]you mean the sphere from Road Side Picnic? i kinda figured that thing was evil too i mean it caused [sp]arthur[/sp] to die[/QUOTE] That was because he flew into an anomaly while running for it.

Re-installing Clear Sky at the moment. Which faction should I join in TFW? Last time I played Freedom due to their camo and weapons.

[QUOTE=Sunday_Roast;39863069]Re-installing Clear Sky at the moment. Which faction should I join in TFW? Last time I played Freedom due to their camo and weapons.[/QUOTE] Not for their weed? Shame.

[QUOTE=rikimaru6811;39863182]Not for their weed? Shame.[/QUOTE] The weed that you never get to experience :arghfist: Still had TFW 2.9 in my CS gamedata folder :v:

[quote]! Unable to find InstallUserName entry in registry ! Player name registry key (InstallUserName) not found ! Loading DLL: xrGameSpy.dll stack trace:[/quote] Can anyone help me out with this? CS crashes about two seconds after I go to the saved games menu. [editline]10th March 2013[/editline] Playing TFW, for clarity.

What the shit?! I join the mercenaries, go to capture an outpost and suddenly a HIND arrives and shoots me while everyone else is just ducking and are not targeted for instant annihilation. [editline]10th March 2013[/editline] Gonna start a new game and hope that the hind doesn't spawn. [editline]10th March 2013[/editline] Going for the Mercenaries at Yantar is broken, due to the chopper coming to kill your ass. [editline]10th March 2013[/editline] Is there any crosshair mod that could simply be dropped onto TFW?

Trying one out now. [editline]10th March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Araknid;39863565]as soon as you hear and see a hind run If you see a transport chopper, dont shoot it. if you do a hind comes nobody wants that[/QUOTE] I decided that I'd just go Clear Sky. [editline]10th March 2013[/editline] Should work no hopefully as nothing was replace and a few lines were edited. [editline]10th March 2013[/editline] Didn't go too well.

[QUOTE=Sunday_Roast;39863585]I decided that I'd just go Clear Sky. [/QUOTE] Choppers as basically like emissions, with the qualifier that you can't shoot emissions down. Hit the deck and get in cover as soon as you hear a chopper coming; if you're lucky, it'll kill a few of the locals for you to loot. If you're very lucky, it'll cause the entire mercenary base you just attacked to freeze in place and duck for the next minute, allowing you to kill them all off without resistance. A word of warning; CS is one of the hardest factions to work with. You'll have to do a lot of the legwork yourself. Excellent suits, though.
