S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: Thread lock imminent, get to cover Stalkers! - Games

So, gonna install SoC again. What in particular does the FPSTALKER starter pack contain? Just big fixes?

Hi fellow stalkers, i am a new guy here. May i ask you guys a question ? I have been playing SGM 2.2 recently and having quite a blast, but one thing that bothers me is the broken iron sights. I was thinking that the issue was with the mod itself, but i've seen some Let's Play SGM videos, and their ironsights are correct. My issue is that all iron sights, no matter what weapon, are 1-2 fingers lower than what crosshair points at. Anyone knows anything about it ?

I don't know much about it, but are they acting like that at very close range? Maybe the sights on your gun are set up for longer ranges, as your gun is going to fire in a parabola. (particularly noticable with the VSS etc) Still shouldn't be one or two fingertips above, but at 200m or so it'd be noticable.

Even when i am looking at something in point blank range, its misaligned vertically (lower). Before i installed SGM i did a fov patch to get 83 degree fov. But i guess it is unrelated since i tried both with default and patched fovs.

[QUOTE=Etcetera;40193529]Oh, you should definitely play Misery 2.0. There are, in my opinion, better mods to play, but it's not an either/or thing. Play 'em all.[/QUOTE] Even complete? :l

What resolution do you use? I made a realignment fix for the 2.2 guns addon some time ago, but just for widescreen.

[QUOTE=nige111;40193980]Even complete? :l[/QUOTE] Bad mods are part of the fun.

Installed SGM yesterday, because everyone talks about it. Oh god its amazing. after 6 hours and ~40 deaths, I finally got out of cordon. Jesus christ how many new areas are there?! Edit: Shit if I even get fucked up this much against bandits.... oh god.

There's a handy alignment-tweaking plugin around here somewhere. Ask Sgt Doom, he might know more.

I am using 1080p resolution, maybe thats the case. By the way i am using the all-in-one 2.2 package from moddb. Gum provided a patch, will try it now. Also, should i use a different package/install method for SGM 2.2 ?

[QUOTE=Royalpain;40193376]So uh.. I've been waiting for Misery 2.0 to come out until I start my next play through but going through the thread some of you are against Misery? Could you say why and state a better mod to play?[/QUOTE] We're not against MISERY, we just nitpick the fuck out of it since the creators tend to overhype it.

Doesn't SGM require 4GB of RAM? All the talk about makes me want to play it, but last I checked I think I remember seeing that and that was why I never played it.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;40194258]Doesn't SGM require 4GB of RAM? All the talk about makes me want to play it, but last I checked I think I remember seeing that and that was why I never played it.[/QUOTE] Uses about ~2gb of RAM for me.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;40194258]Doesn't SGM require 4GB of RAM? All the talk about makes me want to play it, but last I checked I think I remember seeing that and that was why I never played it.[/QUOTE] FPS drops horribly around safe zones. But that's it.

I remember enjoying Misery when I played it.

So I'm just running around Jupiter, doing normal stuff when I come across Freedom soldiers fighting a WHOOOOAAAOOHHOOHHAAAAAAHHAAAHHAAAHH. It killed all of them, and I just sat there and watched. They really didn't put up that much of a fight. [IMG]http://puu.sh/2vEnA[/IMG] Pictured: The last thing they saw.

A full uninstall and reinstall of CoP with SGM 2.2 and still broken iron sights. Should i just move back to 2.1 ?

[QUOTE=rikimaru6811;40194544]FPS drops horribly around safe zones. But that's it.[/QUOTE] Is it any more than normal? Because my FPS in safe zones when there were a lot of NPCs could get kinda sketchy in vanilla.

[QUOTE=Etcetera;40193529]Oh, you should definitely play Misery 2.0. There are, in my opinion, better mods to play, but it's not an either/or thing. Play 'em all.[/QUOTE] I think I'm going to give it a try when it comes out. (It's not out yet, right?)

Redux 2 is still being worked on, right?

[QUOTE=Killer900;40195235]Redux 2 is still being worked on, right?[/QUOTE] I do believe yes, but the team lost a modeler.

[QUOTE=Lizzrd;40195267]??[/QUOTE] It was literally posted a page ago: [QUOTE=nutcake;40188362]Quote from the readme in the .rar: "A mashup mod of: Absolute Structures and Absolute Nature packs by Cromm Cruac.

Wait, SGM 2.2 has a problem with sights alignment in widescreen? Well that explains a lot. Anyone got a fix?

[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;40195613]Wait, SGM 2.2 has a problem with sights alignment in widescreen? Well that explains a lot. Anyone got a fix?[/QUOTE] that explains why I keep missing the target :v:

[QUOTE=Beacon;40195543]'fo sho[/QUOTE]fuck yes

Done with story quest in SGM. [t]http://i.minus.com/ibxworH1LH85s.jpg[/t] Basilisk with lvl3 selection is op as fuck.

Man, that last half hour or so was a never ending series of me jumping and pooping myself. Oh cool one bandit left no pro- shotgun blast from behind, I'm dead and pooping Alright bandits taken care of, oh soldiers now? No problem. One left again huh? Must be up these stai- nope behind me AKM to the head pooping again Finally getting near the surface wait what's that noise - controller out of nowhere pooping And *whew* finally done with that underground nonsense (I even made 3 underground temporary saves because I was so scared I was going to die) and now to grab this int- 15 soldier blips all closing in on my location. Well, time to quit and change my pants again.
