S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: The Zone will stop the Russians

[Hammer7]

I personally like this one.

Looks like a bigger version of whirligig.

[QUOTE=Ghost101;41812295]Yeah, CoP's gameplay but with the maps of all three games would be a good mix. I like CoP's bigger areas, but at the same time they tend to feel more bland than the earlier games more focused environments.[/QUOTE]

Yup. Call of Chernobyl is the mod I was thinking of.

I want it.

[QUOTE=TheDestroyerOfall;41811762]So, i'm playing SGM and i keep getting this crash.[/QUOTE]

The animation either isn't defined in the weapon config or it's just missing altogether. The former is easy to fix; the latter, not so much.

Call of Chernobyl is looking good but I would love the CoP maps included, it seems they aren't~

The more you can cram in the merrier.

[XeroG]

is there a mod for SoC that removes the scrolling up when you take items out of a container?

[Gatekeeper828]

Kinda sad because my wish came true and Defiance did come into the swamps. Now Clear Sky is down to just eight guys.

Also Duty was almost completely wiped out by the mercenaries which surprised me.

Edit:

Make that four guys left now that the pump station was raided. The four Clear Sky guys that are left are in a lookout tower with hunting rifles; I might buy some good gear and drop it next to them so they use it.

[Thomo_UK]

Duty are raping the Mercs for me and Clear Sky are sitting on their hands doing nothing. Freedom seem content to sit in their base in which the AI makes them move around in and not out of.

Upload a copy of "w_p90.ltx" and I'll see if I can fix it.

It's impossible because Xray can't allocate more than 256 ai-elements for in the game.graph, at least, he said something like that. Adding in the CoP maps would make Xray crash on startup because of the extra process power needed to include them into the game.graph.

[DeeCeeTeeBee]

Are there any good mods for CS that keep the main storyline, but fix the ballistics, add weapons/artifacts/armours/possibly quests etc?

I tried out the Misery/Lurk/Mystery/Whatever modpack but the graphics look batshit and the ballistics still seem really off (especially considering the Toz with buckshot 1hits anything from one and of cordon to the other)

[Thomo_UK]

I'm using page translate and its even funnier.

damn page jumping.

[Loner]

I know I'm going to get shit for this, but I think it has something (I like it myself)

Excuse the dumming down but does that mean 256 AI moving around the entire in-game world aka, offline a-life moving between levels and doing shit?

X-ray why are you so duct-tape.

Not 256 ai-entities, more like groups and squads. A 'squad' in CoP can vary from just 2 to 8 NPC's (if not more, AI and logic isn't my strongest trait in Xray :v:) But these points, are locations for routes that AI use to patrol around, or chill in. Example;

zat_loc_b5_heli_forest

This is a made-up connection point for the ai to travel in. It contains the level data, location and trademark of the 'location' in the game world. This for example could indicate the helicopter crash site in the iron forest. There's a limit of 256 of these in the Xray 1.6 Engine as it can't exceed the 3.61GB max RAM usage.

Again, correct me if I'm wrong, anyone. I got this all form the Call of Chernobyl developer.

[Thomo_UK]

Ahhhhh~

Danke! That explains it a-lot better.

I believe that's what CS: Reloaded is supposed to do.

Anyone got any off-piste location suggestions for a visit to the actual Exclusion Zone? I've already got Chernobyl-2 (Duga), Yanov and the ship graveyard on my list. Anyone got any I've forgotten? Obviously CNPP, Prypiat, Jupiter Factory + Chernobyl are already in there!

oh and Kopachi

apparently the vehicle graveyard is out of bounds :(

The vehicle graveyards if they let you anywhere near them. Red Forest isn't red anymore, or that would be cool. And the buried burnt villages may be kinda boring.

[I]...after a couple of days digging deeper I finally found a really unique story mod for CoP.
It ignores vanilla story completely, even locations, but adds CoP-like one...

I took some pictures of it, the place is really beautiful.

Found a very friendly loners, we passed 4 or 5 bottles and hunted down a chimera.
It's kinda easy when you see 9 shotgun barrels and the place full of mutants...

Name/Link?

Does it contain just the one map? I've always liked the idea of a free roam game that doesn't go overboard on the size or number of the map(s) and instead fills a smaller map with tons of detail. Warren Spector's "One City Block" idea and all that.

One Zaton-size map, but very well made.
Sadly no English translation.

I am thinking of trying Misery. Something about the atmosphere of it and the difficulty.
