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

Mines are the only thing I disabled in SGM. Because they're broken to hell. Everything else is cool. Ok maybe few really fucked up quests, but still. Things to avoid in SGM: 1. Noah's barge quest. 2. SGM mines. 3. Any difficulty level below [del]Master[/del] Wizard.

Is there a way to create your own map markers in CoP with the PDA? I want to mark down some places that I want to explore later.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;40274520]I'd like a stash system like CoP's where they're always there, but their locations are randomized when you start the game, like the tools in SGM. So if you find a stash you can loot it, but that stash won't be there on every playthrough. I'm not sure if that's even possible to do.[/QUOTE]The best would be a merge of both tbh, some stashes out in the open just placed there, some in the open that will appear once you have their coordinates, some in containers that are spawned on start, some that only appear when you get PDA etc. Maybe some stashes that have a little bit in them, then get more when you get the coordinates, or have references like "previous stash turned out to be not safe, got looted, found another spot." etc. [editline]14th April 2013[/editline] Also, Noah's barge should NOT be suitable cover from emissions, seeing as half the roof is missing...

Oh so it's more of a faraday cage you need?

[QUOTE=Fausty;40273153]Reinstalled CoP to my SSD, fast load times ahoy! Now what mod should I get?[/QUOTE] SGM2.2, so you can experience 5 min+ load times on a SSD like me.

RAMDisk is where it's at for loading times

How to RAMDisk? I RAMDisk StalkerSoup :v:

Did somebody say RAMDisk? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBQsifS1Rl4[/media]

[QUOTE=Hans-Gunther 3.;40274875]I really want to play SoC again but I'm torn between OGSE and the old version of LURK. I've also considered People Soup but it fucks my RAM sideways. Any recommendations?[/QUOTE] I'd just like to say LURK 1.05 is probably one of my favorite mods. I'm doing a playthrough right now

I'm just going to build a cluster with enough Xeons to hold Stalker soup in L1-3 cache.

[QUOTE=Lizzrd;40276029]Oh so it's more of a faraday cage you need?[/QUOTE] Yeah. Emissions are mostly psionic in nature.

Playing SGM 2.2, but I can't find Belousov. The quest marker pointed to some kind of bandit outpost, and when I killed them, it didn't update.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;40277395]Did somebody say RAMDisk? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBQsifS1Rl4[/media][/QUOTE] oh oh my god

The only thing that pisses me off about LURK is that bandits kill Guide and Fox every fucking time. I'm pretty sure that shits on the true ending.

[QUOTE=Lizzrd;40276029]Oh so it's more of a faraday cage you need?[/QUOTE] Shh, his name is [I]Noah[/I] and he has a [I]barge[/I].

Im trying to get Dooms merge to work on SoC but I get CTD on launching the game. Steam SoC is version 1.0005 right? Wasn't there a patcher that would let you downgrade your game version?

Yeah, [url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/795329/STALKERHispano_Patcher.rar]there is,[/url] but Doom's merge works on 1.0005.

Steam is 1.0005

[QUOTE=Lizzrd;40280991]His magical door opening spas protects him from the emissions.[/QUOTE] Don't mind the holes next to it though!

[QUOTE=Gum;40278267]Now that's just nitpicking.[/QUOTE] I have no idea where to aim with this thing because of the seemingly invincible enemies. Do i put my target on top of the post? Do I put my target on top of where the post should be? [editline]14th April 2013[/editline] I have a more accurate time shooting from the hip with the crosshairs off.

Why do you use a deagle anyway? USP Compact is fucking godlike in SGM with all upgrades. It's like a machine pistol that deals 80 damage.

[QUOTE=nige111;40276052]SGM2.2, so you can experience 5 min+ load times on a SSD like me.[/QUOTE] I load SGM 2.2 off of my normal HD and it loads pretty damn fast for me, although I do use an SSD for my OS. also screenshot [img_thumb]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/867216269302454704/1AFF64F25539413C3EBDE425FE4526A651DECD14/[/img_thumb]

[QUOTE='[Green];40281488']Why do you use a deagle anyway? USP Compact is fucking godlike in SGM with all upgrades. It's like a machine pistol that deals 80 damage.[/QUOTE] I just got out of the swamps. I don't have the money for it. Also, why does Beard buy artifacts at such a reduced amount? The trader RIGHT NEXT to him offers a much better price-per-artifact.

So, I'm almost finished with AMK for SHoC, and was looking into some mods for CoP that I can start playing. Misery looks pretty nice, but I know that some people here aren't too big of fans of it. Are there any issues with it that really result in it suffering?

A battle broke out outside of the main barge, filched a perfectly conditioned Spaz(?) from one of the corpses. It's strange how random battles occur all the time. [IMG_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/ZnnWF3.jpg[/IMG_thumb] Decided to just wander around and see where the wind takes me, happened upon this decrepit little spot. [IMG_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/T0QB0b.jpg[/IMG_thumb] And found the infamous smug lion. [IMG_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/I557Ve.jpg[/IMG_thumb] Given its reputation I was expecting death momentarily via some anomaly or bloodsucker horde. Nope, just some sleeping boars which I decided to let be. [IMG_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/h9gKsx.jpg[/IMG_thumb] I decided to investigate the helicopter crash in the lake since it was close by, and after s'more wandering I come upon this power installation. [IMG_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/JGe4dp.jpg[/IMG_Thumb] I was expecting bloodsuckers like crazy, shotgun at the ready and bam. Fucker was like a sponge. [IMG_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/75uTDY.jpg[/IMG_thumb] I crept deeper into this strange facility and came upon a very oblivious bloodsucker. [IMG_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/1R25UW.jpg[/IMG_thumb] [IMG_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/Gc2RsS.jpg[/IMG_thumb] [IMG_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/O0qql5.jpg[/IMG_thumb] I was gonna leave him be but eh he might follow me and startle the fuck outta me as soon as I turned around so I emptied some buck into his body. Was funny as shit when I came back there [sp]for the quest and they were all dead. Then he opens the elevator doors and all I could think of was "shitshitshitshit he's gonna die and then I'll die". Then we find the fucking sleeping nest of em' man it was fucking comical.[/sp] I'm amazed at how bad it looks at max settings. Can't wait to beat it and mod the fuck out of it.
