S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: No new mod releases edition.

[Purple Magpie]

[QUOTE=Muukkis;39960042]Normally people would attack the first bandit camp (assuming you're playing SoC) armed with only the shitty makarov and maybe a looted sawn-off shotgun with a few rounds at the most, which makes it a pretty tough fight considering it's the first quest you'll undertake.[/QUOTE]

I'll be honest, that's probably one of my favorite base assaults in Shadow of Chernobyl. And any player who's used to the controls - and half-way decent at the game to begin with - won't have any problems with it really. The reason it's at all difficult is because of what you said: it's like the first mission you get, and there's a lot going on for someone who doesn't have any experience.

I just read the thread to see if anything's new, and watching development on Redux 2.

Sorry to hear about the artist dropping out, Beac. I know a fair bit in photoshop, had a semester going through some techniques and stuff. In some spare time, I could probably get something going. What exactly are you looking for?

[Samiam]

[QUOTE=Beacon;39960740]there will be two difficulties in 2.0, Redux and Redux Extreme[/QUOTE]

What are the differences between them?

One is made for Blåberry and one is for everyone else.
Anyone else trying the one made for Blåberry will find it impossible.

Or do I have to remind you about his heroic escape from a military squad and a Hind during an emission and mutant attack?

That was amazing.

[HoodedSniper]

Can anyone direct me to some must have mods for a first playthrough?

Just got SoC after hearing all the good shit about it but I know that its bugged to all hell.

Any UI/Patches?

[rnate]

Get the patches, it's not bugged to hell...

No mods on your first playthrough is what everyone recommends.

Yes, the site indeed looks hideous, it is suppose to look like that. It's not hard to navigate though.

Thanks dude. Well you're welcome to give it a go, if you like! We were working on a new ModDB page overhaul, unfortunately I don't really have the bits and pieces I need to supply someone who wants to work on it with right now as I'm away from uni till April 6th, and hence my desktop PC :/ Could you add me on Steam, and we can chat a bit more? :)

[QUOTE=mikester112;39966083]What kind of work did he do? Texturing?[/QUOTE]

Nah, he made the curent ModDB page design and our new logos.

[QUOTE=Samiam22;39966469]What are the differences between them?[/QUOTE]

I'm thinking Redux difficulty will be about the same as the current difficulty in v1.0, and Extreme will just be for the people like me and Blaberry who want masochistic difficulty ;)

[pr00ch]

[QUOTE=Jetpack Bear;39929356]I'm a dumb and am completely, more or less, clueless

Is it like Metro or Fallout?[/QUOTE]

It's like Metro, just on the outside and a lot more free.

[editline]19th March 2013[/editline]

Oh shit yes extreme difficulty

[Hammer7]

Beac, rename "Redux Extreme" into "Wizard".
Would fit more.

[mikester112]

Man, this story writing thing is harder than it sounds, I have a new-found respect for our story-writing brothers in this thread.

There's a long story behind it but the name Redux Extreme holds meaning to me :)

You should add in a weapon that references Harry Potter instead then.

[QUOTE=werewolf0020;39959940]hows the I WORK ALONE mod?

i saw misery too but it seems to hardcore for my taste[/QUOTE]It's basically Ceano's mod (basic but solid rebalance mod) with graphics mods. Nothing special.

[jill920]

I wish I could get one of these and wear it to school. Shit looks rad.

something thats better
[url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Dooms_CoP_Mod_Merge_v0.1_1.rar[/url]

Made by our very own Sgt. Doom and is better than I Work Alone, aswell as misery (in my opinion anyway)

Lots of intense moments in it, I've said this story before but I'll say it again.

Went to the Jupiter plant to grab the documents and all that. Walked through the entrance and got shot at straight away. I returned fire and killed the guy who shot me. Took a look at him, saw he was a "bandit" and thought nothing of it. Suddenly I got assaulted by guys dressed as bandits, loners and freedomers. About 12 of them.

Was a long 10 minute fight taking them out because they had the most amazing accuracy and they all had high tier guns. And I'm not exhaggerating, they were genuinely hard to fight.

When I finally finished them off (with a busted gun that was shot out of my hands, and no bandages + medkits by the end of it), I went to go check them out.

Was a bunch of monolith dickbags disguised as other faction members.
The worst thing? I looked around and saw another squad of monolithians, this time actually wearing monolith armour.

Needless to say, I ran all the way back to Yanov station.
