[QUOTE=Blaberry;34259536]I love my SKS.

However, it's a bit unnecessary when a pistol can kill anything in one or two shots if aimed properly.

Currently playing with only a Beretta and two mags.[/QUOTE]

Surely you have a bottle of vodka with you?

How do I upgrade stuff in CoP? (in Redux)

I have an entire separate body I drag around with only vodka.

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;34259709]How do I upgrade stuff in CoP? (in Redux)[/QUOTE]

You don't.

However, a stalkerbro restored the upgrades :

Basically, the suits are unbalanced as hell because they still have the 5 artifact slots. If you don't want to be a filthy cheater, look up the suits' correct artefact_count from STALKER wiki and enter the corresponding numbers into the outfit.ltx in ARTEFACT_COUNT

Is Doomy going to remake his mod? :3:

I assume it's just a patch so I can keep playing on my current save? Oh, and I will probably change that, got any numbers to recommend? (I am for a challenge, while still having some fun and immersion)

Or just remember the number and don't use more than that.

Where can I get this doom's mod everyone talks about? I wish to join the holy monolith.

I google it but it's hopeless - I just get links to this thread of people talking about it.

[editline]17th January 2012[/editline]

Got my AMK saves deleted, but it was at the point I got to the Bar anyway. For some reason, I can't stand that point of the game.

[croguy]

I might as well as try out the challenge while waiting for more TBPS patches and Lost Alpha.

It sucks that their numbers aren't matched up to their aproximate territorial coverage. Isn't the total Monolith troop count in the SoC period like, one thousand?

[Doneeh]

[QUOTE=Muukkis;34259070]Hey Garik, the Monolith Appreciation page is nearing ! Let's do the "contest rules", shall we :

I propose :

Contest Winner gets the honour to be the "Preacher" and the first post of the Monolith page of the next thread will be reserved to them until the contest begins anew

[t]http://i.imgur.com/jQApm.gif[/t][/QUOTE]

[QUOTE='[Green];34259152']You know, otherwise all right but I can't survive with just one life for very long. I happen to die quite a few times to bullshit weapon spread.

Instead, I shall do an honorary march to the Monolith!

Step 1. Acquire gear.
Step 2. March across the Zone from Pripyat to Cordon.
Step 3. Kill everyone at the military outpost in the far south.
Step 4. Camp the little base as long as you can with as much as supplies as you could carry with you from Pripyat.
Step 5. When you finally get overrun by mutants/military reinforcements/choppers/loners, quickoad, kill them and then go back to Pripyat.
Step 6. Post the names of every single unbeliever that met the wrong end of your righteous gun on this forum, along with your supposed #1 ranking on the top Stalker list.
Step 7. This is only if you're not #1 on the list. Get to #1 on the list before going anywhere.
Step 8. Go to CNPP and do a harakiri by dropping everything else except an F1 grenade and suiciding in front of the Wish Granter.[/QUOTE]

I'll do it for the glory of the Monolith.

But I propose:

Rules: Kill every single Leader of every faction other than the Monolith and take a screenshot of their body to post here. Every killed Leader or special character (Fang, Kruglov, Freeman etc.) counts as one life you receive. You start out with only one life and can max out at five. You may use artifacts, but you cannot sell them. You must collect any artifacts you encounter and return them to the Prayer Antennae at the Main Base, where you will leave them to enjoy their freedom.

1. Become Monolith, get necessary equipment.
2. Repel attack on Pripyat, mass together bodies of fallen brothers afterwards.
3. Leave to Red Forest and extinguish all infidels.
4. Attack the Barrier and overwhelm Freedom forces, eventually making your way to the Northern Farmstead and slaughtering the Mercenaries. Afterwards, start an invasion of the Army Warehouses and kill any non-Monolithians. Make sure any major checkpoints are disposed of Stalkers.
5. Enter the Bar area and wipe every single soul off the face of the Zone and into the divinity of the Monolith. Leave no survivor minus the 100 Rads (shooting Barkeep causes a crash anyway). Make sure no one of Duty remains.
6. Continue to Wild Territory and kill any Scientists, Mercs, Freedomers, Dutyers, and Loners.
7. Enter Lake Yantar and purge all non-Monolithians. Keep as many Zombies alive as possible, they too are graced by the the touch of the Monolith.
8. Return to the Bar, clear it out again, and make your way to the Garbage.
9. Kill any Bandits, Loners, Freedomers, Dutyers etc. and continue to Agroprom.
10. Cleanse any intruders and clear out the catacombs underneath Agroprom, as well as any military bases, checkpoints, and patrols.
11. Return to the Garbage and head to the Dark Valley.
12. Kill all bandits, steal the Key from Borov to prevent Stalkers from entering the lab, and clear out these locations: Main Bandit Base, Old Factory, Pig Farm. Steal Gauss Rifle.
13. Head back into the Garbage and to the Cordon, making sure to kill any non-Monolithians on the way.
14. Purge anything in your way as you take out these locations: Farm, Factory, Bridge Checkpoint, Vehicle Yard, Loner Village, Military Cordon Base. Take all weapons and sell to Sidorivich before exiting the Cordon and heading back to Pripyat.
15. You've brought ultimate glory to the Monolith and are now most likely the highest ranking Stalker in the Zone. You now have two decisions.
16a. Kill Cheron silently and assume control of the Faction, becoming the highest priest to the Monolith.
16b. Sell all equipment and free Brother from their physical shells until they chase you towards the Prayer Antennae in the Base. Allow yourself to be killed for the Glory of the Monolith.

Try doing that shit on Wizard.

I'll go with "save once an in-game day" rather than one life.

[Shustriyvich]

Anyone have a dl link for People Soup, preferably with DMX? My computer has this retarded thing where certain links won't load and one of those certain links just happens to be a megaupload link to a People Soup part

[Garik]

[QUOTE=croguy;34260205]I'll go with "save once an in-game day" rather than one life.[/QUOTE]

Hmm... You can only save once per an in-game day.

Every time you die you just "wake up" from a nightmare. And if you die many times, it'll just be a dream within a dream.

Stalkerception.

These are all good ideas but the actual implementation of the goal should be left to each initiate.

Further, I think Brother Cro's idea of "one save / load per in-game day" is better. If you run out of load games then tough titty, you're brown bread.

Okay, here's what I think of the scoring system :

1. Guy on the ranking list(non-Monolith) = 1 pts
2. VIP (Ghost, Freeman) = 2 pts
3. Faction Leader = 3 pts

Also, two best scoring warriors will have to stream a run of the challenge to see who is the final victor.

[b]From the ranks of the Faithful, two greatest warriors will enter the final challenge, which will be streamed with at least two trustworthy observers watching[/b]

So, if it is agreed, we'll begin probably tomorrow / thursday.

[QUOTE=Doneeh;34260633]I'd do the stream if I managed to get to the final challenge, but unfortunately, my computer is a sack of garbage and my internet has been a complete pain in the ass as of late. Sorry Brothers, but I don't think I'll make it back to Pripyat this time.[/QUOTE]

Your computer is excused, brother
We can scrap the idea of the stream final altogether, I don't want to exclude aspiring acolytes just because they don't have a powerhouse of a computer.

I still think there should be a "final" of some kind...

A duel in SoC multiplayer !

Monolith preserve us!

Well... At least now we got a fresh reminder why we need to purge the unbelievers....

[QUOTE=WarRocker32;34261765]EDIT: WOW. I shot the barman and my game crashed. :v:[/QUOTE]

It must be the Monolith's way of telling us that he must not be harmed. We must obey this command.

Also : remember the save limitation :

Starting from the first day onwards, every time the clock hits 12.00 am you may mark yourself a right to save+load [B]once[/B]

It's a better fit than most of the other pony Stalkers I've seen so far. Looks like pretty much a straight trace job, though. Where did you find it, may I ask?

[Tinter]

If it would end in a mp match, I could host a 3 player server and livestream it, atleast if they were from Europe.

[Doneeh]

I'll try to start the challenge either tonight or tomorrow, but seeing as though I start spring classes tomorrow, I may not actually be able to. Oh man, the things I do for a formal education.
