S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread -You shouldn't have come here lurker... Now you will be WORM FOOD! - Games

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;30932259]I've tried time and time again. GSC smartened up and used compiled shaders instead of a C++ interpreter like the older games so my optimisations don't load or wouldn't really help either.[/QUOTE] Ahhh OK. I remember seeing some WIP mod for CoP that said it had "all new shaders" and I remember thinking "bullshit". It'll be nice to see some more updates for Shaders Max. Increases my performance drastically in CS.

What the fuck TFW. I just finished CS complete, load up TFW with kingos shaders, and bam, my mouse occasionally just holds and then jumps to where I want it to move to, what is going on? Is it lag or is it just glitching?

If anybody does come across shit like this for any of the games you should show me and I will contact the author.

[QUOTE=BlackPhantom;30932261]just finished SoC vanilla, wondering what mod I should get[/QUOTE] It's like choosing colors from a rainbow~

[QUOTE=hurts;30932284]The ballistics that don't allow you to kill people for twenty shots? In all seriousness, I could empty a whole magazine of MP5 ammo directly into the chest of one of the soldiers in that farm in the Cordon and they REFUSED to die. Also, personally, Clear Sky is really lacking in what makes SHoC so great. It just doesn't have that STALKER feel imo. CoP doesn't have as much of it as SHoC either, but it's still pretty good.[/QUOTE] Clear Sky had better/bigger maps than Shadow of Chernobyl and I have never had a problem with weapons not killing NPCs, I've only ever played Vanilla in CS and I played through on Wizard with no problems.

So nobody can help explain to me how one would use a "-nointro" option on my shortcut for a non-steam version of SoC, or any other alternative step towards getting LURK's installation make sense. Wonderful.

Alright, just got all three on Steam for 11 dollars (if you don't have them, now is the time), which are the absolute best graphics mods to use? If there's already a compilation thread, please point me in the right direction. I beat the first one previously, so which are the best mods to use in general? I heard weapon repair mod is quite useful as well as a weapon addition mod (don't know the specific name).

Okay, well it turns out that I WASNT lagging, my mouse was just fucking up. THANK YOU FOR PUSHING ME TO DECIMATE MY SETTINGS.

[QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30932844]Okay, well it turns out that I WASNT lagging, my mouse was just fucking up. THANK YOU FOR PUSHING ME TO DECIMATE MY SETTINGS.[/QUOTE] I had that problem too and thought i was lagging EXTREME :v:

I don't know of any decent SHOC graphic mods I have played. Actually, I have played with a graphics mod, that being Kingo's shaders(as he has reminded me below) And it's great.

Tried to run Secret Trails 2 and go this: [code] Expression : wave&&wave->length() Function : CSoundRender_Source::LoadWave File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xrSound\SoundRender_Source_loader.cpp Line : 65 Description : Can't open wave file: Arguments : d:\game related\s.t.a.l.k.e.r. - shadow of chernobyl\gamedata\sounds\ambient\rnd_outdoor\rnd_swamp\ambient\rnd_outdoor\rnd_wind_1.ogg [/code] God damn, Im stupid. ST2 is for Clear sky.

[editline]6th July 2011[/editline] Okay I have finished the DirectX 9 and 10 shaders for Clear Sky, I will completely redo all the DirectX 8 shaders for all your poor people then I will upload.

Anyone feeling nice and generous today and want to maybe, like y'know, buy me Stalker Call of Pripyat or Shadow of Chernobyl? [editline]5th July 2011[/editline] :love:

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;30932895]STALKER Shaders MAX + STALKER Weather Overhauled + Argus Texture Pack[/QUOTE] I wish the two second ones were compatible with AMK

[QUOTE=hurts;30933135]I wish the two second ones were compatible with AMK[/QUOTE] Argus Texture Pack should be compatible, why wouldn't it.

For COP which is better, Reloaded or Redux?

Getting about 300fps with the DX8 shaders, dis gon b gud

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;30933167]Argus Texture Pack should be compatible, why wouldn't it.[/QUOTE] I remember trying to install it before and it didn't work.

Okay a quick renderer survey: Rate [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/heart.png[/img] if you use Static Lighting - DirectX 8 Rate [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/wrench.png[/img] if you use Dynamic Lighting - DirectX 9 Rate [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/zing.png[/img] if you use Enhanced Dynamic Lighting - DirectX 10 Rate [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/winner.png[/img] if you use Enhanced Dynamic Lighting - DirectX 11

I have to due to shitty integrated graphics (laptop)

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;30933378]Does anybody here even use DirectX 8 aka Static Lighting?[/QUOTE] I don't but I'm willing help if needed.

Hey, can any of you guys tell what version of LURK this guy is using? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IWllN7frmw[/media]

Without even opening the video I would assume LURK 1.0052

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;30933771]Without even opening the video I would assume LURK 1.0052[/QUOTE] Thanks, that's what I thought. Just making sure.

I finished X18 (still playing with LURK) and finished it with some ease, save for those fucking psychic things tossing those little canisters at me. If anyone wants to know if the Abakan is useful: Hell yes, it isn't a piece of shit like it is in Vanilla SoC. I can actually use less than a third of a magazine on a single soldier.

I'm in X18 right now, playing vanilla. The flying barrels made me jump..
