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

[QUOTE=Araknid;34268199]cant believe S.T.A.L.K.E.R and the X-Ray engine has turned from this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz-njnfe3MA[/media] Into what it is now.[/QUOTE] What's fascinating is that the core bits of the engine haven't changed all that much since about 2003. Yes, tons of features have been changed/cut/etc, but the game's renderer, particle system, etc has stayed largely the same over the years until SoC's release.

I wish they would remake all the particles to be volumetric. Also they really need to update their sound engine really bad.

Any stashes in Dooms merge with a gauss rifle? I feel like upgrading my fire power until I can buy an exo.

[QUOTE=Fussy!;34268863]There is a patch to make Atmo work with SGM, but I guess it's broke. Gonna have to live without it.[/QUOTE] You probably didnt install it in the right order. SGM, atmosfear, then merge patch

God damn second bloodsucker in the bloodsucker lair in SGM. Took me 20 minutes of quickloads to kill it. Used all my shotgun ammo, most of my 5.45, ended up having to knife it. Doesn't help that they sound incredibly creepy with the sound SGM gave them.

[QUOTE=Fussy!;34268816]Any way to fix CoP crashing when using SGM 2 with Atmosfear 3? I can't play if I pick anything BUT Static Lighting.[/QUOTE] Try verifying your files. I had a problem that I couldn't select DX9 (even though I use DX11) or else it crashes and a reinstall fixed it

[QUOTE=holdenmcclure;34268958]I wish they would remake all the particles to be volumetric. Also they really need to update their sound engine really bad.[/QUOTE] What's wrong with the sound engine? And I believe X-Ray 1.5/1.6 supports volumetric particles..unless I'm mistaking something for something else. :downs:

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;34269300]Try verifying your files. I had a problem that I couldn't select DX9 (even though I use DX11) or else it crashes and a reinstall fixed it[/QUOTE] Got it in retail. :v: But yeah, gonna try a clean SGM 2.0 first this time. Wait, do I do the SGM 2.0 ACTUAL patch first then the merge one?

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;34265042]Woah, a surprising amount of people are playing my mod merge :v: Y'know what, the next update I was going to do was add a bunch of new suits (mainly faction-specific ones that are already in the game, but unobtainable). Tomorrow, i'll see how far I got with the update, determine viability of continuing, and if possible, finish it.[/QUOTE] Any possibility of making it so you can get a stalker or a squad of stalkers to follow you? Provided you are friendly with them of course. I want to lead a monolith squad through the red forest to exterminate the non-believers with extraordinary force.

If you have more than 2gb of ram, download the 3gb enabler to let CoP use more ram

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;34269411]You got the 4 gig memory extender from Kingo?[/QUOTE] link? [editline]18th January 2012[/editline] and thanks to both of you

It's on the first page in the OP, under Kingo's section

[QUOTE=holdenmcclure;34268813]why edit: how do you disagree with a question you twat[/QUOTE] There's no reason to question either the Monolith or Nasty Nas. Both are amazing. Also, in Doom's Mod, why is it that I can sell a single handgun for over 12,000 RU? It seems a bit odd to realize a handgun is worth more than a somewhat decent assault rifle. Then again, I tend to find much odder prices around this mod anyway, so might as well cash in where I can.

-snip-

Radwind pt. 1 is so nice to listen to. Why is it barely used in-game?

I was going into the basement of Agropom to find Strelok's Stash. Then After killing some bandits I went further into the room to find this stash. Then I turn around to find a bloodsucker behind me. [h2]NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE![/h2]

Beginning my Doom's run now. ALL GLORY TO THE MIGHTY MONOLITH.

Aww. If you put Atmosfear 3 in SGM it takes away all the menu music. I am deeply saddened. [editline]18th January 2012[/editline] [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/614973792668716215/E48F445B749685DE7C5472B169DA2429185B8E99/[/t] If only I could actually fire.

I'm kind of new to modding in stalker so forgive my insolence if this is a stupid question. It's my understanding that for some reason I can't use previous saves with mods? As far as I can tell they work fine. Or does it depend on the mod being used?

Did you play vanilla, then install a mod and then tried to open a save? Or saved with a mod, then tried loading it with another mod? Because you cant do that. If you install a mod, you're gonna have to start a new game

The mod won't load if you load a previous save, that's why you need to start a new game

If i get call of Pripyat, and only call of Pripyat, will it run ?

I just remembered this dream I had about STALKER not too long ago. I was walking through the Bandit Base and I started talking to Borov and some trench coat bandit. Then it hit me. They were for some reason using Ebonics.

[QUOTE=clayt95;34270303]If i get call of Pripyat, and only call of Pripyat, will it run ?[/QUOTE]Yes, all Stalker games are stand-alone. Get Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Sky though, Call of Pripyat is the third game in the series and you won't understand much if you dive right into it

[QUOTE=Lyoko774;34269307]What's wrong with the sound engine?[/QUOTE] EAX and surround sound is all mega broken [editline]18th January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=clayt95;34270507]Yea well my friend is giving me Pripyat for free, so if i like that ill deff buy the others.[/QUOTE] It'll be like watching Return of the King before any of the other Lord of the Rings movies and you will be confused as fuck judging by your post style. [B]I bet.[/B]

I love the pistol animations in dooms mod and the fact that they actually do quite alot of damage. The pistol anims just make me feel like they're more powerful and not fragile pieces of plastic shit. The textures and reskins for them too.

Apparently chickens in SGM explode. Cleared the sawmill of zombies, found a chicken on top of the tractor, shot it... now I have to clear the sawmill again...
