S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: If nobody will make it I will - Games

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24384420]Turning off crosshair in the long run = more enjoyment[/QUOTE] How is it more enjoyment if you cant see what the hell are you shooting at especially with weapons with no scopes.

[QUOTE=Smells Like;24385236]How is it more enjoyment if you cant see what the hell are you shooting at especially with weapons with no scopes.[/QUOTE] Weapons without scopes have ironsights, you can still aim. It's more enjoyable because it doesn't have a dot in the middle of the screen, it lets you actually look at the things behind it and enjoy the scenery. It feels a fair bit better and most people don't shoot from the hip anyway.

[QUOTE=Smells Like;24385236]How is it more enjoyment if you cant see what the hell are you shooting at especially with weapons with no scopes.[/QUOTE] Aiming down the iron sights helps out on that. However, when using weapons like PKM or any shotgun except the TOZ-34 you need the crosshair because you need to determine where will the buckshot spread or if the iron sight is downright awful(SPAS 12 and PKM).

[QUOTE=Shuzup;24385227]Alright, how would I go about doing that?[/QUOTE] Get WinMerge, open both files and get to work!

Hey, I use the Spas and I can Slug a Snork from a mile away. It's off center but it's not hard to adjust.

[QUOTE=Thorny;24385365]Get WinMerge, open both files and get to work![/QUOTE] Would I need to know how to mod stalker in the process? Because I can modify a few easy things here and there, but I wouldn't know much about making an actual mod.

[quote]In north Ukraine, born and raised, in a power plant was where I spent most of my days. Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool'n shootin' some snorks out side of the pools When a couple of bandits who were up to no good, started making trouble in my Cordon-hood. I got in one firefight and my Sid got scared, he said you're moving with your Scar and Strelok in Pripyat. I whistled for a trader and when he came near, his artefacts looked fresh and there was weed pretty near If anything, I would say these goldfish were rare, but I thought 'Nah, I'll sell 'em but DON'T JUST STAND THERE!" I quick loaded in the bar about 7 crashes later and I yelled to the barman "Yo, Holmes - you're a trader?" I looked at his wares, the game was finally fair, wished for the zone to go, wait - YOU CAN'T GO THERE[/quote] Goddamn digging though the old threads is annoying.

Hey Paravin, when you get here can you try out this fix for Redux? Same goes for anyone who gets the 'actor_active_item' crash. [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9167432/makesureyoubackup.7z[/url] Back up your SCRIPTS folder (this may well break the game) before you extract this out, keeping folder-structure in your gamedata folder. Then try shooting people, going near anomaly fields, stuff that used to make you crash. Then please come back and tell me if you crashed, when, and with what message! Thanks :3: [editline]03:40PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Shuzup;24385376]Would I need to know how to mod stalker in the process?

Has anyone tried the "Realistic Weapons" addon for SoC Complete? I'm still struggling through Complete and I'd like to change up weapon handling a little bit as well as increase the difficulty a bit. Does this addon do the trick or should I get myself some WinMerge and start looking at other weapon mods while trying not to ham-fistedly break my game?

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24385802]It makes the game easier for me.[/QUOTE] Damn. I might have to drop Complete in lieu of the SMP or something. The one thing I don't need is more easy. Other than grenades thrown uncannily well, the biggest problem I've had is hitting enemies at range. I know this will go away once I get a proper rifle, but I can rush bandits and small Army detachments without too much trouble as-is.

Always good to see the good ol' BM-16 "Shit Slapper" in mods, as long as they're not lazy reskins of the sawn-off with the same ironsights.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24385434]Maybe learn to use ironsights? Sounds impossible, I know.[/QUOTE] It doesn't help when the ironsights look like total ass on 70% of all weapons. Especially on the AKM.

Guys, wouldn't it be awesome if they made an online S.T.A.L.K.E.R. roleplaying game? I would play it forever.

[QUOTE=Brain scorcher;24386583]Guys, wouldn't it be awesome if they made an online S.T.A.L.K.E.R. roleplaying game? I would play it forever.[/QUOTE] They are.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24385434]Maybe learn to use ironsights? Sounds impossible, I know.[/QUOTE] Every ironsight in the game is crooked and useless beyond repair. Maybe if they actually worked. Heck, even without crosshair I'm guessing shooting from the hip is more accurate as you start to aim with the center of the screen instead of expecting the ironsight that doesn't work to work. I like setting the crosshair to nondynamic. I find it to be most accurate actually. Instead of being confused by the similarly broken accuracy meter you have to look at impacts and tracers to get a good feel for how accurate a weapon is. Makes you better with it.

[QUOTE=Smells Like;24386190]It doesn't help when the ironsights look like total ass on 70% of all weapons. Especially on the AKM.[/QUOTE] Ironsights are three small pieces of metal. What is wrong with them? They have been that way a few hundred years.

I dunno, SoC looks pretty awesome with that stalker complete mod.

Posting again in case Redux guys misses it, it's quite important :3: Hey Paravin, when you get here can you try out this fix for Redux? Same goes for anyone who gets the 'actor_active_item' crash.

Hi I would like to make it known that I enjoy wading through swamps throwing around small bits of metal and things and stuff. By that I mean I play CoP, and like it alot.

CS has more swamps :colbert:

Thanks :3:[/QUOTE] I don't crash when doing any kind of stuff so I think I shouldn't test it, since there won't be any results. I only get that crash on very rare occasions and I don't think it's Redux. [editline]07:17PM[/editline] But if you think I should get it anyways, then just say so.

Ugh that's so weird. It has to be Redux. [editline]06:25PM[/editline] But no, don't get it if you're not crashing. How far are you through the story, by the way, and where's your feedback? :3:

14 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjbOsO7nqZ0[/media] This one I got stuck in a infinite death loop, or near infinite. The mercs you see killed me atleast 11 times, all the deaths were cut out.
