We thank you, O' Monolith, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us. May your light shine down on the souls of the brave Soldiers who gave their lives in service to your will. Onwards, warriors of the Monolith, avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with• the Monolith. Bring death to those who've spurn the holy power of the monolith. O' Monolith, we do not hear you. Why have you left us, O' Monolith? We await your orders, O' Monolith.
Something about that olive green and brown is so terrifying.
MASHWASHO.

Yeah, hi, my squad are starving can you get us some canned food please?[/QUOTE]
Of course, merc. I have some spare tins of Tourist's Delight I can spare. After all, Duty is known for helping honest stalkers in need and you seem like a respectable type, nothing like those scum in the Freedom faction.

Gambling is forbidden in our code, but were I a betting man, I'd say it's a poor choice. Those fanatics do not stand a chance for Duty's organized and systematic warfare against all that oppose it.
(I am surprised, though, that not every faction is represented in avatars here. We have Defiance, Duty and Freedom but no ecologists, mercenaries, bandits, that one dead scientist faction that lived at the swamps or some shit and Monolith, not that anyone misses those crazy people anyway. I'm mostly missing ecologists, those are good men of science.)
Hahaha I was escorting kruglov and the mercs were attacking from multiple sides so I took cover behind a metal container, a merc snuck up behind me and one of the mercs farther away shot at me and missed, and the shot ricochet off my cover into the guy's head.
Still died but it was worth it.

[QUOTE=Slippery-Q;40506583]I'm stuck with Kruglov. I'm using the L.U.R.K mod, and I'm trying to get Kruglov's dumbass out of that train yard. I've done it several times before, but I've seemed to fuck this one up a little bit. My primary is a SAKO RK-95 TP, secondary being a Colt .45, and these shit heads are too far down range to kill off before Kruglov gets himself killed.

Kruglov's a real baby-back bitch.
[QUOTE=PaChIrA;41921077]Actually Clear Sky are not a part of the government of Ukraine. They are there illegally, just like any other STALKER.
Ecologists however are part of the government and officially sanctioned to be there[/QUOTE]
Shhh, the average stalker won't know that...

The Cheeki Weeki.
I'd like to throw my hat into the ring with this crudely drawn caricature of a true dominating force within the Zone:

For brothers of the only true faction in the Zone.

I wish I knew how to apply text to gifs
I would put cheeki on that gif posted a little while back ago, every time the guys head popped up
then when he was slowly sliding out "Breeeekiii" and just before the player shot "IV DAMKE!"
Virtual Dub lets you do that, but I didn't think of it
In StalkerSoup how am I supposed to get through the Duty barrier in Garbage? I don't have any big tasks except for "Find out what happened to Ghost" and the usual "Kill Strelok".
Is there any way to get grass shadows back or would I have to reinstall and not get patches?

Ok so it's just regular ragdoll. Still I like how the ragdoll doesn't just collapse onto itself like other games[/QUOTE]
I like how most of the related videos are cats :v:
Have any of you guys seen the Stalker film? Is it worth seeing and is it anything like the game?
[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;41923193]Have any of you guys seen the Stalker film? Is it worth seeing and is it anything like the game?[/QUOTE]
It's an ok movie but don't start watching it thinking it will have the same kind of theme as the game. The game only drew some inspiration from it and people get bored because they think that there's going to be mutants and the like in it.
[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;41923193]Have any of you guys seen the Stalker film? Is it worth seeing and is it anything like the game?[/QUOTE]
first off noting:
the games and film/novel are not alike apart from your basic few things, such as stalkers, anomalies, and the zone. the games draw from the novel, the film, and the film's novelization.
oh, the novel is roadside picnic btw. i know there are other stalker novels out there but they all came much much later and are based off the games.
Ok never mind I melee'd sidorvitch's door open and he gave me the nimble mission and now everybody in the rookie village is normal for now.

Ask Lost Alpha devs, since they have source they should be able to make it an option or compile out an .exe from source with grass shadows enabled
It's funny how when I first played SoC I thought the textures looked bad and the animations were shit so I immediately went for texture packs, and now I think the default textures and the old animations look cool :/
Those lost alpha trailers probably had a hand in that though.

I don't think it has even been achieved by xray extensions, but even if it was they can be really unstable to use in game. There is a mod for grass shadows for COP though R3 - [url]http://ap-pro.ru/forum/35-1452-71#211403[/url] but the link seems to be taken down.

Also, Meltac's shaders are from my perspective the best shaders around at the moment;

Only needs brighter screens with some more colors in it, I dislike the lurk feel it has where everything is desaturated. (this happens when you apply lurk shaders to the vanilla game, because of the way tonemapping is used)
Do Meltac's shaders affect the colours at all when everything is disabled? Also is the performance good on them? If all is well, my shaders have gone obsolete.

The performance is really good, considering it's build upon your and Sky4CE's shaders. It does look like it takes quite a chunk out of your performance.
But it indeed is true, my shaders have also been improved upon by meltac so we are kinda obsolete, altho mine are fine-tuned (weeks of testing etc.) nothing new, but more like making the game perfect :v:
Alright, so I decided to order a better sniper from nimble, since I had 90k to spend. I got what I wanted (lynx), sold my old sniper, and bought a sunrise suit, and got the 6x scope for the sniper. Its really fun when you can one-shot pretty much everyone with an upper body shot. So I bought 30 rounds of ammo with what money I had left, and went over and killed all of the mercs at the workshop, since all mercs are now hostile to me from my past endeavors.
Thing is, where are the goddamn tools? I know that in vanilla CoP they are there in one of the buildings, but I cant find them anywhere. I found two stashes while I was looking though.
This is the part where you tell us just what mod you're playing.
Sorry, misery 2.0
