Hey Blaberry, what are the differences between SGM and SGM blackbyte edition?

[QUOTE=hoodoo456;28955393]Hey Blaberry, what are the differences between SGM and SGM blackbyte edition?[/QUOTE] - AtmosFear 2.1 (You know the mod i guess, otherwise look it up. Also "edited" it's nightskies to be less bright, i like that) - Varius texture mods (Including better structures, nature and very much improved weapon textures. Thanks to absolute nature, and some others) - NewArtefactsMod (Russian addon for SGM that adds more items, like artifacts and weapons) - Rulix AI tweaks + M.A.I.O (AI tweaks and additions that does things like making AI smarter, heal themselves, loot bodies more, and also does so NPCs are better depending on their rank and faction) - Russian voices + subtitles (All english shit removed but whenever there's dialog, there will be subtitles. You might wanna check options to make even useless dialog have subtitles) - Variation Mod (Mod that adds several different textures to the suits of NPCs. It's "useless" but adds a lot to the zone, if you ask me, since everyone is not having the same fucking suit) - Minimalistic Hud (No minimap or ammo counter. Just HP and stamina. I recommend disabling crosshair too, like a real stalker) From here: [url]http://blackbyte.org/sgm/[/url]

It's not late damnit, I made it myself and it was supposed to be content bump for the thread. Besides, most of the newcomers haven't seen it yet

If you're going for SGM, disable "eclipse" in its menu, it makes the game crash whenever the weather is initialized.

If we already have SGM installed, and have a save on it, if we install Blackbyte SGM, do we have to restart our save?

Great, my redux saves are now unplayable because I get a crash in the Pripyat tunnels that's most likely not due to redux, but totally unsolvable. Great, just fucking great. :colbert: [editline]2nd April 2011[/editline] I even managed to get past it once, but then Zulu died.

Only this once, but then I had to go back due to Zulu dying. And my old solution of playing it like CoD(rookie, run and gun) doesn't work this time around. [editline]3rd April 2011[/editline] Seeing how it worked when Zulu died, I blame Zulu, the smug fuck.

Seeing as how I never found Zulu near the end of the game, I don't care if he dies in the tunnels or not.

Poor zulu got killed from one hit by a snork :(

Perhaps I should mow them all down, and see if it'll work. [i]No, I am totally not going insane by doing this like fifteen times.[/i]

It has been a while since I posted here, I feel like an outsider now. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haURfnzCiQ8[/media] Just noticed that I made that a bit more than a year ago, it was so hard to make it because I had to do everything real time. I suppose it could have been better if I put more effort into it.

I hope Blackbyte doesn't remove the post-game "Psi-Emission" mission, that's the best part of SGM. Zombies everywhere.

so the console says that r2_fast_bloom 0 is an unknown command.

Try r2_ls_bloom_fast off? There's no r2_fast_bloom in the user.ltx, but there's that.

[QUOTE=WarRocker32;28949155]I took refuge inside of a shipping container with a Pseudogiant. Nice chap, really. Told riveting tales of his family back in Yanov.[/QUOTE] Oh sorry mate, you'd might want to tell him that I miiight have killed one of his family members under the lab. :v:

that worked, thanks.

If I could buy any 2 of the 3 S.T.A.L.K.E.R games, which should I get? I'm thinking CoP and SoC.

[QUOTE=Big Ben;28956516]If I could buy any 2 of the 3 S.T.A.L.K.E.R games, which should I get? I'm thinking CoP and SoC.[/QUOTE] You're spot on, Clear Sky was less of a STALKER game then the others might be considered.

How much of a discount is the loyalty promo you get for owning another S.T.A.L.K.E.R before buying CoP?

I like how my current playthrough of SoC is 21 hours yet I haven't even gone to Strelok's stash for the second time yet. :v: The soup man, it's so awesome. (And maybe an hour of that is just loading)

You took my OP and locked my Thread as I slept! You didn't even give me a chance to redeem them! The new OP will be WOOOOOOOOORRRM FO- oh, blaberry's OP :w00t:

Every mod I've tried for Call of Pripyat seems to think that "improving" the game means "making it impossibly difficult." I just tried Redux, and while the graphical changes and new blowout effects are beautiful, the game is simply too hard to play anymore. There's nothing you can do to survive. There simply is not enough cover to protect you from blowouts (short of massive buildings and structures, which are in pretty short supply in the zone), enemies kill you in one hit (two if you're lucky) and traders won't buy any of the equipment you bring them. Maybe that's fun for some people, but I don't want a game that's so stupidly difficult that it stops being entertaining. Isn't there a "Redux Lite" or something that keeps all the graphical improvements, new weapons, and great effects, but doesn't change the actual core gameplay experience? I thought Call of Pripyat's core game was perfect, so I guess what I'm looking for is just a very good graphical mod, and maybe something that adds more weapons/enemies.

It's the mod you're looking for. [sp]I bet you won't even realize Complete can barely be called a mod.[/sp] Casuals these days.

[QUOTE=Thorny;28951652]'game_relations.ltx' in gamedata/configs/creatures - that's for CoP at least, probably SoC too :)[/QUOTE] That's the folder. What lines need to be edited?
