Motion blur up in this bitch!

Well, I decided to venture into the Dark Valley to go into X18 in AMK. I get there, see bullet, and am about to follow him to the ambush point, when suddenly boars [url=http://postimage.org/image/2eo80chd0/][img]http://s2.postimage.org/2eo80chd0/2011_07_09_00002.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://postimage.org/image/2eo9nvtus/][img]http://s2.postimage.org/2eo9nvtus/2011_07_09_00001.jpg[/img][/url]

I can't find a sleeping area in Pre Sky

Why must you use the crosshair :(

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;31018371]Why must you use the crosshair :([/QUOTE] I use it, is there something wrong with it?

Well it breaks my immersion and makes hipfiring much preferable to aiming down the sights

I think I'll continue for a bit with the crosshairs, people watching me earlier saw I had enough trouble as it was. Such is life on Master difficulty on your first playthrough.

EDIT: Pointless to have this here now, more info below.

[QUOTE=Thorny;31018489]Such is the only true way to play Stalker! (Unless you play Wizard or Redux difficulty of course)[/QUOTE] Agree, I bet it'd be way too easy and not fun if you played it on anything less.

[QUOTE=Thorny;31017027]Fucking love Coldplay. My favourite band ever since I was a wee kid.[/QUOTE] I also love U2

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;31018371]Why must you use the crosshair :([/QUOTE] Literally the ONLY reason I use it is so I can make sure I don't accidentally hit a friendly character. There's no other way to tell except wait the horrendously long time it takes for their name to show up, and the binoculars don't tell you unless they're standing perfectly still. If there was, then I'd turn them off in a heartbeat. Oh and did I mention that AMK fixes every problem I had with the AKS74U? Now it will likely be my favorite weapon in AMK. Is there a way to change the FOV for other weapons that won't screw up the mod files so much I have to start a new playthrough?

[QUOTE=MagicBurrito;31018668]I also love U2[/QUOTE] Ain't that sweet.

EDIT: It seems to have something to do with Shaders Maxs Saturation and Contrast filter. With Shaders Max (Extreme preset, DoF turned off): [thumb]http://i54.tinypic.com/es58vk.jpg[/thumb] Without: [thumb]http://i52.tinypic.com/dey355.jpg[/thumb] Looks far less intense without that on. Still looks a bit excessive but that may just be the mod (hopefully Schmaaa can help me confirm or disprove that).

[QUOTE=Gum;31016381][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRJ-pECjhiU&feature=watch_response[/media][/QUOTE] For being so uptight, DUTY sure has some moves.

[QUOTE=Exosel;31018942]Ain't that sweet.[/QUOTE] i dont think anyone got my joke but it works either way for me I guess :v:

[QUOTE=FalcoLombardi;31017374]Is there a way to lower the amount of grenades thrown in Clear Sky?

[QUOTE=Thorny;31018241]Motion blur up in this bitch![/QUOTE] If some random mod managed to fix motion blur, send me the shader files for me to read. I fixed them once in Clear Sky and then broke them again the next day and have never been able to fix it.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;31020404]In my whole playthrough of Clear Sky, I've only seen about 10 grenades thrown by NPCs. That's fucking nothing[/QUOTE] What the hell? Really? You're one lucky stalker! Every time I'm in a fight, a grenade is ALWAYS thrown right at my feet. I swear, fucking NPCs have aimbot with their grenades.

I was playing on Wizard if that makes a difference.

Redux is the shit. I got attached to this group of three badass STALKERs who helped me clear out the sawmill, and then hid and wept as they got ripped to shred by a pack of around 15 blind dogs and psudeodogs. Then, on the body of one of them, I found a picture that was described as follows: "This is a picture of a single girl in a white dress. It looks like she has been crying recently. The front of the picture is slightly damp." :saddowns: I also found a PKM, SVD, and RG-6 on the zombies though so FUCK YEAH. BTW thorny the gun described in Redux as an RP-74 should be PKM (it's RPK btw)

IDK why in my Redux Zaton is now Zombies v Bandits instead of Loners v Bandits

Anyone have that one youtube video of a stalker sidestepping like a dance while the player watches through a scope?

That's the one, thanks.

Has anyone here tried Call From Pripyat (it's a CoP mod)? If so is it good? I'm leaning towards either it or Redux for my next CoP playthrough.
