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

[QUOTE=Chrispy_645;34116074]What about editing existing items? Adding heaps of items to begin with would sorta mitigate having to add new items.[/QUOTE] yeah same thing, editing existing or adding new items need a game restart to take effect [editline]8th January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=ShadowSocks8;34116113]thorny when are we gonna see that magazine loading demo?[/QUOTE] i'm trying to sort out a problem I've got with marsh spawns fucking up right now but I can work on the demo if you want in the mean time while I wait (as i have all day almost) for smrtphoneuser to come on irc - i even have him on facebook but he never goes on :(

Is there any place near the 100 rads bar in ShoC that I can repair my stuff?

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;34116250]Is there any place near the 100 rads bar in ShoC that I can repair my stuff?[/QUOTE] In Vanilla, no. Complete, and presumably a smaller mod that was absorbed by it's broiling mass included the option for Barkeep to repair weapons and armour, so maybe you could check some stalker file sites.

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;34116250]Is there any place near the 100 rads bar in ShoC that I can repair my stuff?[/QUOTE] IIRC in ZRP (the unofficial bugfix) a technician in both Duty and Freedom base can offer repair services. But not in vanilla. [QUOTE=Thorny;34116416]You have to start a new game for almost any mod.[/QUOTE] A small question regarding the CoP mission contest : Can we suggest also repeatable mission types that don't contain much "story" but rather a description of the mission type how it will roughly play out ? [QUOTE=IAmAnooB;34116367]Do I have to create a new save for Complete to work?[/QUOTE] It's not worth starting over with Complete. Also, by the time your gear has degraded it's usually obsolete already. As for armours, SoC will give you a lot of free armour as you progress in the game (most of the time you need to look around for them a little bit of course). During my first few playthroughs I didn't even buy any suits because you can stumble upon good suits as the game progresses. Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat that both feature the suit repair & upgrade feature don't give much "freebies" like that.

Do I have to create a new save for Complete to work?

You have to start a new game for almost any mod.

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;34116367]Do I have to create a new save for Complete to work?[/QUOTE] Don't do it.

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;34116367]Do I have to create a new save for Complete to work?[/QUOTE] Try[URL="http://stalker.filefront.com/file/Axes_Repair_Mod;78149"] this[/URL] before you go downloading complete.

[QUOTE=Thorny;34116416]You have to start a new game for almost any mod.[/QUOTE] Makes sense. That doesn't sound that inviting, because it feels like I got some proper stuff now. Does that unofficial bugfix count as a mod (it probably does), if so is that one of the few mods I can install without creating a new save?

[QUOTE=Paravin;34116139]MINI CONTEST since my imagination has its limits. Think for a moment you're a Stalker in the Zone, and you've left for yourself a stash, a very minor one for field emergencies. Write a extremely small story, diary of some sort and the loot inside and send it to me via PM. All the entries will have a chance to get inside if they are: 1. Lore friendly 2. Interesting 3. Not fucking stupid The contest has no limits, so you can send me whenever you want, how much you want. Or you can just call me and we can talk a bit, I'm feeling lonely.[/QUOTE] Which Mod (for which Game?) are you working on? I'd love to contribute something, but I kina missed out the above things.

but he's goin' on fancy dates with laaaadies these days so ain't got no time for wordsmithin' [editline]8th January 2012[/editline] recording dialogue for the magsys preview makes me hate my voice even though it's british and smoooth

[QUOTE=Etcetera;34116444]Try[URL="http://stalker.filefront.com/file/Axes_Repair_Mod;78149"] this[/URL] before you go downloading complete.[/QUOTE] I couldn't get it to work though. I have dropped the gamedata folder in "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl", as in the game folder. And I have modified (and back-uped) the fsgame.ltx as the readme said. It still doesn't load. Am I doing something wrong, or?

so... what does sigerous mod do? everytime i look on google it just shows me russian gameplay footage. is there a list of features or something? and if possible, can i get a download link?

most of this video is going to be you guys looking at a redux logo with 'mag sys demonstration' written below it, listening to my voice... actual footage doesn't start until like 40 seconds in

Can't wait for it, Thorny. :) I just got a PM back from Garry regarding scraping HTML data off this forum thread... yeah I probably won't be doing that then. :v:

[QUOTE=Chrispy_645;34118212]Can't wait for it, Thorny. :) I just got a PM back from Garry regarding scraping HTML data off this forum thread... yeah I probably won't be doing that then. :v:[/QUOTE] Why don't you set up a thread at Euro Stalker where people can post short STALKER-themed PDA messages for that purpose ? It could be moderated easily there as well since Thorny is the admin. They could also be e-mailed to Paravin who selects the good submissions and posts them to a thread so they can be "scraped" from there. [QUOTE=TheStateTrooper;34118526]is sgm compatible with STALKER complete? i dont want to un-install complete and have sgm not work.[/QUOTE] Large mods are almost never compatible with each other. [QUOTE=TheStateTrooper;34118526]i dont want to un-install complete and have sgm not work.[/QUOTE] Just rename the "gamedata"-folder to something else and rename it back if SGM doesn't work. You can back up your savegames from your public documents folder if you want to make sure you won't accidentally save over your "Complete" saves while playing SGM.

is sgm compatible with STALKER complete? i dont want to un-install complete and have sgm not work.

[QUOTE=TheStateTrooper;34118526]is sgm compatible with STALKER complete? i dont want to un-install complete and have sgm not work.[/QUOTE] No. Why are you even using Complete to begin with? You can just download Atmosfear 3 and Absolute Nature and Structures and you'll get the same effect.

[QUOTE=TheStateTrooper;34118526]is sgm compatible with STALKER complete? i dont want to un-install complete and have sgm not work.[/QUOTE] Why would you download the 1 mod that everyone says don't play?

Cool, found an over-the-shoulder third person mod that actually lets you shoot things properly :v: [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8664592/ZScreen/2012-01/Screenshot-2012-01-08_18.12.09.jpg[/t]

I meant as in, does it just reduce the crosshair, make it disappear, or does it go into first person for the sights?

[QUOTE=croguy;34119494]I meant as in, does it just reduce the crosshair, make it disappear, or does it go into first person for the sights?[/QUOTE] It makes the crosshair dissapear. [editline]8th January 2012[/editline] oh cool, it also adds hands on wheels in vehicles :v: [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8664592/ZScreen/2012-01/Screenshot-2012-01-08_18.53.52.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=Lyoko774;34119727]It makes the crosshair dissapear.[/QUOTE] Fuck. I've yet to see a TPS model that doesn't make it disappear.
