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

Tell him to press ctrl+v after it crashes, that tells us nothing.

It's actually pretty easy to do a day-trip into the Zone, plus if you use [url=http://www.tourkiev.com/]Solo East Travel[/url], the company I went with, you can get cheaper rates if you go in a group! Airfare to Kiev is gonna be pretty expensive for everyone not in Europe, though.

Just so you know, I tried that shaders mod. It made my performance worse on everything but Static, which stayed roughly the same.

*sigh* I suppose I'll just have to wait.

..What's wrong with playing on static?

Looking around in TFW, I've started noticing those green anarchist-ish symbols all over the place. They're located everywhere with teleporters/space anomalies.

In the [sp]bloodsucker village, where the merc squad is trapped,[/sp] the houses have the anomalies in them, which teleport you to other houses. Both houses like this also have radiactive basements, which you can access climbing through the windows.

In Limansk, there's the same symbols on a house which has that old "Guest from the future" reference teleporter in.

Oh, and is it just me or can you hear screaming/crying/sobbing/whispering when you enter the area with the [sp]merc corpses[/sp] in [sp]bloodsucker village[/sp]

On an unrelated note, I don't know why I love Loners and Mercs so much. Since SoC was released, I had a soft spot for Mercs, and was always sad knowing they were hostile 99% of the time. Now that I'm playing TFW, I've come to love Shovel and his gang.

Loners are bros.

I'd have more, but I forgot about screenshotting during a whole load of them.

Flea market campfires. I never did get my RPG off of the special trader in that circle. He just disappeared :(

After finally taking the farm from Defiance, after countless attempts where I was one shotted by a Mosin Wielding wuss hiding behind Lonerbros.

Taking the army warehouse and taking a well deserved rest at the original SoC Freeplay merc start area. The fog at the time made the Chimaera attack that happened 5 minutes later pretty horrendous, but we all got through it.

Shovel's gang. All of the bases I've raided up until now, they've been there in the crossfire. The fact all of them are still alive, and him saving my life when I awoke in the bloodsucker village, naked and confused, has earned him my love.

That guy right there. Bro of the month. (I actually cried a little when I thought he was killed in a crossfire at the Army Warehouses.)

Back at Agroprom, the main Merc base after we moved away from Yantar. Professionals at work.

Stalker has, and always will have, a special place in my heart.

[QUOTE=Lyoko774;34058582]..What's wrong with playing on static?[/QUOTE]

Nothing, really. It may not look as good, but it's still not a bad thing. So long as you're running it fine.

Plus, I had problems with Stalker and framerate when I was using a 470 for it. Couldn't run it on anything other than medium with static lighting, low and high practically made it unplayable.

Stalker's a bit like the magical lamp. You need to cuddle and gently brush away [sp]fondle[/sp] the dirt before you can get what you want.

"Stalker is a bit like a woman" would have been more fitting, come to think about it.

STALKER Shaders MAX with the full performance preset. Should give you at least 20% more fps.

[QUOTE=Doneeh;34057301]Also, does anyone know how to decrease blood toxicity in SGM 2.0 other than visiting a medic?[/QUOTE]

Antirad pills. I ate like 15 of them just to reduce my blood toxicity.

Try the antirad diet today! Just 15 pills will turn your blood in to mineral water!

LSD pills erry day, kill the controllers where they stand!

[Cmdr0ddball]

I wish I had saved the first crash that provided me with details, hopefully I can get it copied right eventually.

Anyway, right when I select the dialog to head down to Jupiter with the gang, the game crashes when it triggers the cutscene. I wish it would CTD but nooo, it has to hang-on until I kill it with the task manager! It basically said that there was something missing, but it wasn't an actor value. I'll keep on crashing my game until I can get that damned error message.

[noneshallpass]

Man, I've been lurking this thread since around 2007/early 2008 I think, I feel like a should post more... but I never really have anything to say.

[KonerBiller]

[QUOTE=DeeCeeTeeBee;34052909]Isn't there an underground-area below that? There's a building with a staircase, which has a small underground base at the end.[/QUOTE]

I've looked there, and true stalkers know that the objective icon on the minimap only looks like it does in that screenshot when you are on the same level as the objective.

[Cmdr0ddball]

Got the damned error message!

Any thoughts? I can vaguely understand what it is asking, but got no clue what it would take to solve. Is it referring to one of the squadmates in the cutscene?

[Ownederd]

man, Paradise Lost is amazing but is there any indication of a English translation of any kind being made for it?

[Sgt Muffin]

Clear Sky play through with a texture overhaul mod. I don't notice the difference.

[Kingo64]

It's funny how when there is talk of a new STALKER Bros image, all the lurkers come out of hiding

[Ownederd]

damn, this anyone know how to extract the RMA "Shadows" addition files? I can't extract the gamedata.dbi and gamedata.dbh files

i didn't have this issue with the Lost Paradise mod

I ain't a STALKER bro. Just a Stalker player that hasn't played in a while.

Last I heard was nobody was doing one.

While I'm posting, does anyone have a link for TFW for Clear Sky?

[AlbinoGlowStick]

Hey man us lurkers need some love too.

[Ownederd]

well, it seems that the RMA mod English translation seems to work with Paradise Lost since PL does use RMA as a base for its story content - all of the dialogue is pretty much in perfect English

for those who want the translation files, holler and i'll put it up here

[StaT]

Well i think that Crysis should do the StalkerBros , if we mannage to summon that ... that thing somehow
now im not even sure if its she , he or both

They're he, she, both, and none all in one.

It's not hard to summon Crisis. Everybody has to repeat this phrase below and it will awaken:

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Crisis При́п'ять wgah'nagl fhtagn

Ehhh. Fuck my play through. I want to try this TFW mod.
