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

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;41873371]As far as I know, Freeplay Start just basically rips out everything about the story by force rather than giving the player a tick on every objective. That being said, I honestly don't know much about it's internal workings, which is why my SoC mod is a prime example of duct-tape modding :v:[/QUOTE] Hey it works well. Don't knock it. :v: I was just wondering as I'm intrigued to how the AI would behave long term. I'd imagine if they've REMOVED all infoportions and such then all the smart terrains should be free for all AI due to no Infoportion blocks. Either way. Shall give it a good test start of next week when I have a day or so off work. :v:

[QUOTE=LittleBabyman;41873003][Green] comes to mind[/QUOTE] How. Do you imagine me to be wearin an army camo hoodie and a GP-5 when streaming STALKER? It's a flattering mental image and I would enjoy trying it some day, but the fact remains is that I am poorer than Marked One at the start of STALKERSOUP and trying to breathe in a GP-5 is fucking suicidal.

Ever tried breathing in an S10? I got tunnel vision and started breathing so heavily it was as if every breath was my last.

[QUOTE=Beacon;41871663]well it's a bit weird to say something is the best if you've not actually tried it[/QUOTE] Not really, people do that sort of shit all the time to point it's relatively common in any given setting. Besides, it's not like I can run either anyway, so I'll just make an assumption. [editline]17th August 2013[/editline] Plus, those promo screenshots with all those camo guns and features. Holy shit, it looks dapper as fuck.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;41873371]TRW doesn't touch any of the scripts or anything related to corpses, so I don't think that's a TRW problem. I [I]have[/I] been getting blank stack traces moderately frequently (every 30-60 minutes roughly), but I haven't played much of vanilla TFW (since 3.7, at least) before slapping TRW on it to determine which is at fault. I doubt it's TRW, as it is a purely config-file changing mod; errors in the configs for e.g. weapons should give much clearer errors.[/QUOTE] Really? I almost never crash with my mod anymore :/ Speaking of that, here's a new version: [url]http://www.mediafire.com/download/0i9ho9mhxd13io7/Total_Reloaded_Warfare_1.5.4.7z[/url] Changed the recoil and accuracy of all the weapons (Because it was horrible before), changed the vikhr's name/description/sound, made medkits and bandges heal more bleeding [I]again[/I], and made the UMP45 not sound like a popgun. [editline]17th August 2013[/editline] Hopefully I didn't forget to include any sounds this time :v:

[QUOTE=Doneeh;41871550]What, I gotta play something and experience it fully to actually make generalized statements? The fuck is the point of that? [editline]17th August 2013[/editline] Ghost101 agrees too, if that means anything.[/QUOTE] Oh dear.

I am greatly confused??

I swear to god we left the C-consciousness program shut when developing MISERY :v: His mind is not in the teams hands

Aaaaand here's another version of my mod! [url]http://www.mediafire.com/download/0i9ho9mhxd13io7/Total_Reloaded_Warfare_1.5.4.7z[/url] All this does is fix the eliminator using AK sounds for some reason.

In stalkersoup where is there to hide in the smaller place at agroprom during a blowout?

[QUOTE=LMFAO;41875610]So is this like a TFW fix up type of thing?[/QUOTE] Kinda? It improves the weapon ballistics because TFW just uses the vanilla CS ones, adds new gun sounds, add real gun names, makes the AI see farther, makes bandages more effective, ect.

You know Zip, I've been playing your mod for a while and I have to confess something. Long range guns are near impossible to utilize. And by long range I mean sniper rifles that can shoot medium range because absolutely nothing in Clear Sky shoots long range because bushes block your FoV. I'm currently running my dear and sexy TRG snipu raifu and the fact of the matter is that the bullet starts dropping after a meager ~50 meters. With a Vintorez I can comprehend this going on at long range because it's heavy, but on any other round it's ridiculous. LR-300 is still a bullet hose, every assault rifle only works as a CQC weapon, shotguns are overpowered and snipers feel sad and useless. The only good thing going for my trusty bolt-action is that it kills absolutely anyone in one headshot. It makes me aim accurately like a true Finnish marksman, but it's still funny that most of the time a body shot takes away roughly half of their health, despite being hit with a fucking .308 that tears a new one for you. Also crashed: Expression : fatal error Function : CScriptEngine::lua_error File : E:\priquel\sources\engine\xrServerEntities\script_engine.cpp Line : 180 Description : <no expression> Arguments : LUA error: ...ar sky\gamedata\scripts\xr_monster_combat_new.script:207: attempt to index field 'stalker_target' (a nil value)

I need help. Should I stick with the Tunder S14 or GP37?

[QUOTE=axelord157;41876824]I need help. Should I stick with the Tunder S14 or GP37?[/QUOTE] GP37 unless it's the Tunder 5.45 Groza. If it uses 9x39 use the GP-37 since ammo is more available.

[QUOTE=LMFAO;41875708]Oh, cool, was looking to play TFW, but I cant bring myself to do it because starting out getting chased by a bloodsucker doesn't sound like my kind of fun[/QUOTE] Truthfully I'm fairly certain there's not actually a bloodsucker, it's just the sound effects. I've screwed around the tower for a few minutes and nothing ever happened to me. It's a really nice way to get you to move your ass, though.

[QUOTE=Hammer7;41874552]You act like a filthy brainwashed cheekie-breekie. Confess to the sacred stone and don't make such a shameful thing again.[/QUOTE] You gotta admit, whoever did the "marketing" for Misery did a really fucking good job on that shit. I'll always prefer content over balance and realism any day, so it's shit like this, SGM, OGSE, and TFW that I can definitely approve of. So, what's wrong with saying some shit's good if it's comparable to something I already know is great?

For example Complete is still popular.

My last drawing was shit, so here, have another one. [IMG]http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/230/9/c/____by_rikimaru6811-d6imw4n.jpg[/IMG]

Should I feel bad? I mean, our sole purpose was to make stalker more popular by MISERY, not create the new complete

Honestly, about MISERY, I don't hate/dislike/whatever the dev team, I just hate and despise the stupid fanbase for making people think MISERY is a lot better than it really is

It indeed helps when the team itself hypes the mod up a bit, but I never knew it'd pack out like this. [QUOTE=Etcetera;41878246]PR and marketing is important, but the sheer number of promotional piece you put out, combined with several delays (which are par for the course with pretty much any mod), made it seem like the Misery team was focusing on advertising at the expense of actually finishing the mod.[/QUOTE] Yeah, this one's come across a dozen times. People even called the team lazy, incompetent etc. While we always, till this very moment, have worked on the mod and still are working on it. Over 2k messages in the CTD's and bugs section in our private forums. You wouldn't dare to guess the time spent on this mod by some key people, like Troj, Nic, I, twist and many others. Hence my frustration and aggressive behaviour towards people who claim to know the team better than someone like me. I do like Nic's fancy spiced up images more than in-game screens as the images provide more info than a screenshot and constantly dumping vids also isn't perfect justification of a feature (like progressive AI, this cant be shown in a video because I'd have to be half an hour long or so)

Played misery some more, and again I had a pretty awesome time. While in the context of individual encounters the artifical difficulty can be a real pain in the ass, in the long run it is worth it. I have reloaded some savepoints many, many times because I fucked up a situation and got myself killed. Finally got a new gun and a respirator after taking out some chiki-breekis at the gas station, and taking all of the steel case loot for myself. Snorks aint shit. Then I went to the strange anomaly barge and wrecked all of the stalkers there, I used up my only grenade though. Oh btw, the supressor for 7.62x54 weapons doesnt work for the Kar98k, but the description says it should.

Well i finished stalkersoup on marked one, as well as SGM on the highest one as well. Any good mods that are out there that are pretty good? Also, i finished both misery and redux as well.
