[QUOTE=comet1337;34081033]"attention all stalkers and anyone else who cares..." btw: is it havaian doing the announcments at yanov?[/QUOTE] I've never been quite sure, I always thought it was Bonesetter. Sounded similar in monotonous voice acting.

Uploading something fun.

[t]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Railway_slavutych-chernobyl.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] I always found it nice to see things that I've seen described in media in real life, makes it a lot more interesting once you actually see it in person.

Fucking 115 fucking posts.

[editline]hurp[/editline] I take it that you meant that the area reminded you of Yanov station. Forgive me if I'm wrong. [QUOTE=Wikipedia;34080718]Slavutych is situated on the left bank of the river, 40 kilometers from Chernihiv, [B]45 kilometers from the city of Pripyat[/B], 50 from Chernobyl[/QUOTE] Here are some photos from the area around Yanov station though : [t]http://i.imgur.com/pABt3.jpg[/t] You can see a familiar looking tower in the background [t]http://i.imgur.com/vq0wB.jpg[/t] This is probably the shed that's next to the station [t]http://i.imgur.com/wNTnG.jpg[/t]

As a new person to the stalker scene, may I ask why I should try vanilla first before trying some overhaul(ing) mod?

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;34081867]As a new person to the stalker scene, may I asik why I should try vanilla first before trying some overhaul(ing) mod?<s[/QUOTE] Two things: They're awesome games on their own. You'll appreciate what the mods add even more.

so that you know what mods actually do to the game and can thus appreciate them

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;34081867]As a new person to the stalker scene, may I asik why I should try vanilla first before trying some overhaul(ing) mod?<s[/QUOTE] You should download all of the mods for your first run through. [b]All of them.[/b]

[QUOTE=0v3rkill2;34081911]You should download all of the mods for your first run through. [b]All of them.[/b][/QUOTE] Especially soup.

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;34081867]As a new person to the stalker scene, may I asik why I should try vanilla first before trying some overhaul(ing) mod?<s[/QUOTE] Vanilla being fun to play is a good enough reason, but you won't be able to properly appreciate the changes a mod gives unless you play vanilla first. You don't want to go around getting mods that reactivate dummied out content and add loads of weapons until you know what it was like in the first place. It makes the mods more fun and you save yourself from missing out on a great game. [editline]6th January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=proch;34081933]Especially soup.[/QUOTE] And Complete.

Now I am confused, so should I get them or not? If so, any recommended mods for the 3 games? [B]EDIT: [/B] Ah, okey. Now I understand, didn't see the new post there. Sounds like a good reason, I will then start playing them vanilla. Thanks.

[I]Taste vanilla before you add sprinkles~[/I]

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;34081952]Now I am confused, so should I get them or not? If so, any recommended mods for the 3 games?[/QUOTE] Don't get them. Play through vanilla SoC, then get Doom's mod compilation, LURK, and AMK. Then play CS and get The Faction War. Then play CoP and get Redux or SGM.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;34081962][I]Taste vanilla before you add sprinkles~[/I][/QUOTE] Hey I remember that Was it the title we had before [i]say that to my face stalker not in skadovsk see what happens[/i]

[QUOTE=croguy;34082130]Because I didn't notice it. [B]I DID NOW HUHUHUHU[/B][/QUOTE] IT was posted in a past thread and added to its OP. I would imagine all the following threads would have it as well.

I think we lost the OP a while back after a lock and had to go back to a pastebin backup.

Who made it, anyway?

[QUOTE=Gum;34082165]IT was posted in a past thread and added to its OP. I would imagine all the following threads would have it as well.[/QUOTE] I'm using a modified OP that was made by Tinter like, the last time he made a thread because I forgot to copy Thorny's. Either way it's in the OP now replacing the "ALWAYS PLAY VANILLA" text.

[QUOTE=holdenmcclure;34078118]static lighting looks like somebody barfed all over the ground in vanilla SoC. I can't think of a better way to describe it. the uniform brown and green with smudgy shadows. i don't care what you say lyoko[/QUOTE] The texture blending sucks under static :v:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone :) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMe_i6inXMY&hd=1[/media] Watch it in 1080p.

Holy Swamps, Degtyarev!

IMO it would have been a lot better if the end had like, a calm, static view of a stalker group or something, then have an Emission burst out from nowhere and then switch to the Redux logo. How are the swamps gonna get implemented in the levels, tho?

I haven't yet filled out the Swamps with a-life yet so showing NPCs there is yet to come. The game will begin in the Great Swamps. We've written up an extensive rewrite of the story.

did you make the bit at the start resemble the CS intro on purpose, or was it just a lucky coincidence?

We've written up an extensive rewrite of the story.[/QUOTE] well, as long as it's a better start than the Dark Valley SGM one I won't mind the title redux seems a little less appropriate now that the mod is more than a rebalancing, though
