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

[QUOTE=Gatekeeper828;41951144]So I decided to download the CoP level editor and just jump right into it. Whenever I go file > open, nothing pops up and I can't do anything with the editor besides close it with task manager. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?[/QUOTE] Yes, you have to follow Beac's instructions; [url]http://www.gsc-game.com/main.php?t=community&s=forums&s_game_type=xr3&thm_page=2&thm_id=4251&sec_id=18[/url] Study this thread :)

my SDK tutorial is in my title [editline]24th August 2013[/editline] and yeah, that thread is basically me fumbling my way through the SDK in real-time and trying to port SoC/CS maps to CoP, and all the relevant errors and stuff that occur when you don't know what you're doing

[QUOTE=LoNer1;41949503]Thanks! I'd recommend you to try the 2.0.2 patch out now, our best patch so far :) [editline]24th August 2013[/editline] See, this is what happens when you install unofficial patches by the community without really knowing what you're doing. The problem is, these users didn't change [B]the configs for all 3 classes, just the one they were playing with[/B], resulting in you having 'fixed' assault configs while playing one of the other 2 classes. Because of this, you mixed things up, resulting in this what you're experiencing now. There's 2 things left to do, change your class, apply the patch you previously installed with the assault fixes and you're good to go, albeit you're not having the 'MISERY experience', or just don't use those patches and stay with the official releases. For both of these options you'll have to de-install misery and re-install it again. Or just play like this :v: but trust me, it will get really confusing for you later on to determine wether you're good with a SAKO TRG42, or not, according to the configs[/QUOTE] Don't worry, I got it fixed. Now the only thing awry are the loading screens but this is because a file is missing and I can't be bothered to redownload it. In the world itself everything is good. However Yanov does not like me spawning there: Expression : fatal error Function : inventory::upgrade::Group::can_install File : D:\prog_repository\sources\trunk\xrGame\inventory_upgrade_group.cpp Line : 101 Description : <no expression> Arguments : Loading item: Upgrade <up_thirdc_desert_eagle_custom> of inventory item [wpn_desert_eagle_custom] (id = 9084) can`t be installed! Error = result_e_parents This I recognize to be completely a tweak's fault as it did indeed change around upgrade configs. I know it's not your job to help with this since it's not exactly your work to begin with, rather someone who made things off of your mod, but I'm thinking I'll find workarounds. As of now it's actually quite enjoyable. I found out that after finding a good amount of 5.45x39 AP rounds the game starts resembling vanilla a little bit more. I use regular full metal jacket ammunition for mutants and zombies exclusively and everyone else eats armor-piercing. TRG-42 and RK-95 are both low proficiency level on a Recon but what can I say, I'm high proficiency on anything Sako so it levels out perfectly! The most frustrating moment so far in my tweaked Misery 2.0 has been by far the moment where I spotted a loner with a TRG-42 in his hands. I greedily assassinate him and the TRG just disappears. I spent over 30 minutes looking for it but it had disappeared completely. I quickloaded several times but damn, my girl just kept vanishing into thin air. I had to cringe and walk away with tears running down my face. I really wanted to hold it in my hands. I suppose after traders step up their supplies I'll see it on Hawaiian or Owl, but it still pained me a great deal. I suppose this wasn't an intentional thing to have equipped weapons despawn? Anywho, I gotta go tweak around some upgrade files. Be back in a jiffy. Also thanks for the informative reply!

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;41951709]We need a picture of you in a wedding dress, and a TRG-42 in a tuxedo :v:[/QUOTE] You would not want to see me crossdressing. I was forced to do it once on an arts class assignment and the results were horrifying. I'd rather use the tuxedo kthx.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;41950955]lol, yeah I'm too lazy to type the full words. Also, [/QUOTE] Totally irrelevant, but words [I]never[/I] pluralise using "'s". Plural of pro is pros, plural of con is cons.

Stoves, water drops, small plumes of steam, that sort of thing.

[QUOTE='[Green];41951720']You would not want to see me crossdressing. I was forced to do it once on an arts class assignment and the results were horrifying. I'd rather use the tuxedo kthx.[/QUOTE] I got it worse, imagine your elder sister using you as a dress up doll.

[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;41951776]I got it worse, imagine your elder sister using you as a dress up doll.[/QUOTE] Been there, done that. I feel your pain. This is also quite offtopic and borderline homoerotic. How about we never speak of this again?

Whenever I think about eating pepperoni in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. while looking through my inventory (have to regenerate some health after a nasty firefight) and ending up in a anomaly, this video ALWAYS pops up in my mind: [video=youtube;l7RwCSTTPek]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7RwCSTTPek[/video]

[QUOTE='[Green];41951802']Been there, done that. I feel your pain. This is also quite offtopic and borderline homoerotic. How about we never speak of this again?[/QUOTE] So about that artifact.

I want to ragequit but keep going on because I hope patience will be rewarded. Just maybe, if I'm good enough, the Zone will put me on its nice list and bring me presents, not mutants. I noticed that I have 31 porn mags in my inventory, most of which are Playboy. Sold them to Beard who probably was more than okay with having them. I'll just need to wait in celibacy until I can purchase something fresh and [green] with my greasy and greedy hands, akin to those of Sidorovich.

Trying this mod out currently: [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/zone-of-alienation-mod[/url] Keeps crashing like mad with the 'XR3D Has stopped responding', anyone know why?

With 8 gigs of RAM? :(

I'm compiling a wiki-like page of common and uncommon crashes and errors (and their fixes) related to modding CoP and using the SDK, to hopefully help out people who run into these issues. If you have any errors/solutions that could go on there, let me know!

So, how is Priboi Story?

Re: particles, I'm not so interested in artifacts and anomalies as I am in level design. Stoves, water drops, small plumes of steam, that sort of thing.[/QUOTE] Thanks! Never knew that. Also, all included. Check the video's section, I've merged the level editor pack with the current build, it includes many SHoC particles which were revamped and a lot of awesome additions. I've been wanting to update it for a while now but didn't find the time for this. Ill get to it ASAP as soon as I sort out my RL situation.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;41949754] I will create a mod on patch 1.0007, hell, I'm even doing so now, because I do want to introduce the english community to this patch as it's a very, very good one, from my view stance. [/QUOTE] So where is this 7th patch at? Dezowave got access to it because they are working very close with GSC, but how did average russian modders get their hands on it?

[QUOTE=exostalker;41952857]So where is this 7th patch at? Dezowave got access to it because they are working very close with GSC, but how did average russian modders get their hands on it?[/QUOTE] This is the Internet. If something gets uploaded once, it will be copied

[QUOTE=LoNer1;41952866]This is the Internet. If something gets uploaded once, it will be copied[/QUOTE] You could've just said Wizards and that is pretty much the answer to everything.

[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;41952922]You could've just said Wizards and that is pretty much the answer to everything.[/QUOTE] Yeah that's what I was expecting

So has everyone chilled the fuck out yet or do I need to start passing out joints?

[QUOTE=nige111;41953408]So has everyone chilled the fuck out yet or do I need to start passing out joints?[/QUOTE] Pass them out anyway! •[video=youtube;1FzuK1SyaOY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FzuK1SyaOY[/video]

[QUOTE=nige111;41953408]So has everyone chilled the fuck out yet or do I need to start passing out joints?[/QUOTE] I'll have one regardless :v:

[QUOTE=Uncle Yar;41953476]Pass them out anyway![/QUOTE] This is my jam. Imagine turning the air filter down low on a SEVA and hotboxing that shit.

[QUOTE=Beacon;41949446]the gameplay they released of the start of the Alpha was pretty terrible, I'm hoping it will get better but I dunno, I never wanted a F2P MP game.[/QUOTE] Ok, this is something that's been irritating me. All they've shown of Survarium was the MP deathmatch gamemode of it, because that's the easiest thing to alpha test. So why is everyone judging it when they haven't yet shown the freeroam gameplay, which is what everyone is going to want to play. That's like trying to judge Stalker by watching Stalker multiplayer: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-BR7CnZyRk[/media] Wait for a media release of the freeroam gameplay before we start judging Survarium.

Almost everything about MP in stalker is completely different to how it actually is, even in vanilla. The guns have different stats to SP, the crouch and low crouch are actually more like a crouch and a prone (the low crouch in multiplayer is [i]really[/i] fucking low) and movement feels different too. And you can't lean and shoot.

Does anyone play MP in call of pripyat anymore? I never tried it, I'd like to know before I install.

99% of the time the only servers that are up are russian, and with stalker's terrible netcode they're nigh on unplayable. Still, it's pretty bad on even a 70 ping server.
