STALKER Series Megathread: All news we get about STALKER 2 are bad jokes and concept art - Games

[QUOTE=Ghost101;34473204]Did you ever crash while trying to go to Pripyat, Glitch? I consistently get a crash when telling Zulu we're ready to go. I assembled the full squad, tried leaving the region, waiting a few days, and coming back, but no dice. Still get a freeze and then a CTD with the generic windows error message.[/QUOTE] I wish I had saved that post, but a few pages back there was a post related to that kind of problem. It was calling for a value that didn't exist, calling up actor3 when it meant actor2 or something along those lines. I also forgot who found out the fix to it. Go back like 10-15 pages, it should be there.

Sweet jebus that magazine system is fantastic.

[QUOTE=Doneeh;34470138]Anyway, what exactly does the Bulat and Skat mean from the suits? It's been pestering me on what they mean, but I don't know Russian, so I couldn't translate it.[/QUOTE] If only there were some way of looking it up! [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulat_steel"]Bulat.[/URL] Meanwhile, "[URL="http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/Skat-9_military_armoured_suit"]Skat[/URL]" means stingray.

Well normally adult man's palm covers half of his face

Whoops, I meant his hands aren't bigger than his head.

[QUOTE=proch;34474493]Whoops, I meant his hands aren't bigger than his head.[/QUOTE] His feet aren't pseudogianthueg as well, which is nice.

[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;34471435][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4NDoScDgeY&feature=player_embedded#![/media] Redux' new magazine system. This is something I've wanted to see in practise in an FPS for a long time. If any of the redux team are reading this, please add +1 round on closed-bolt weapons on tactical reload, and if it's not too much effort, different animations for tactical and dry reloads. Also, in the thread on the subject of ammo management in games, I also mentioned a system for automatically putting a mag back into your inventory - tapping reload chucks it, holding reload saves it.[/QUOTE] I am intrigued. I have wanted to see a game do this for a while. I agree on the reload variation (hold for magazine retention) as well.

Engine limitations mean you can't do things like basing it on holding the key down :/ There will be an option to choose between dropping the mag and putting it straight in your inventory though to make up for it.

Hoho, blowout in GD.

[QUOTE=proch;34475172]Hoho, blowout in GD.[/QUOTE] Oh really when?

Wow, looking at that character model. Character models no longer look like something from 2005! \o/ [editline]31st January 2012[/editline] And by that I meant massive hands with tiny wrists and clown feet. [editline]31st January 2012[/editline] and massive broad shoulders and small heads

Juha Martikainen is a fucking beast.

[QUOTE=croguy;34477182][h2]NO CLOWN SHOES[/h2][/QUOTE] Must be a Counterpart disguising themselves as a Stalker, then :v: [editline]herp[/editline] Speaking of that.. [url]http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/Sunrise_suit_bandit[/url] I just ran into this fella last night as I was replaying vanilla Shadow of Chernobyl. I had totally missed him on all my previous playthroughs. I think it's very interesting what GSC tried to do with that and bandits setting up traps like that in Freeplay is what FP stalkers discussed a lot in these threads. Have any of you ever ran into this guy ?

[QUOTE=Paravin;34476717]Juha Martikainen is a fucking beast.[/QUOTE] i know right, what the fuck! [editline]31st January 2012[/editline] but yeah well done etcetera, dogmachines and muukis :)

[QUOTE=Thorny;34477461]i know right, what the fuck! [editline]31st January 2012[/editline] but yeah well done etcetera, dogmachines and muukis :)[/QUOTE] What's so special about Juha?

[QUOTE='[Green];34477725']He's dogmachines?[/QUOTE] no? [editline]31st January 2012[/editline] the runner up/honourable mention, whatever

[QUOTE='[Green];34477691']What's so special about Juha?[/QUOTE] I think he's referring to me (I got third place) and that's the name I go by in my mail account. Also, congrats to dogmachines and Etcetera. I can't wait to either see Dogmachine's story in Redux 2.0 (or if it doesn't make it, I would love to read the mission concept). [QUOTE=Thorny;34477956]yeah muukis your missions were pretty sweet![/QUOTE] Thanks! I thought the first one was too complicated and the two following ones were quickly scraped together in the last day of the concept (deadline was Jan. 13 and I thought it was Jan. 16). The third one finished literally an hour before the contest ended :v: . I was a bit disappointed with the second one since I didn't want to originally set it in the same map as the first contest entry. I had plans to write it in similar level of detail as the first one, complete with screenshots of the setting but had to squeeze the concept out in a relatively short time. That said, I'm pretty surprised Etcetera managed to make [B]twelve[/B] missions even if they were smaller side mission. Can't wait to see more of them as well.

oh i got confused, i thought paravin was referring to kali akaye, the honourable mention, the guy who did pages and pages of colour coded description yeah muukis your missions were pretty sweet!

Also, Juha means: [I]gift from God[/I] Fucking religions. Then again, my name means either great strength or iron will. Don't know what's up with that, I'm not exactly Ahnuld Blacknegro and I only get iron-like willpower when I really like to do something. I have no idea how any of this is related to stalker, though.

Ah, found the fix. It's back on page 76.
