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

Which has the best mod from all the 3 STALKER games and what is it?

[QUOTE=RazorsharpLT;41963992]Which has the best mod from all the 3 STALKER games and what is it?[/QUOTE] Play Vanilla/Reclamation Project the first time. There's no such thing as a "best" mod - you have to tell us what you want, and we'll tell you what mods (if any) have those things.

I just finished CoP and now I'm looking for some good mods--preferably for CoP, but I can play any (I have SoC and CS and I've finished them as well). I've heard some good things about Misery, SGM, TFW, AMK...would anyone mind giving me some more info on those, and their opinions on them?

Just booked our flights to Kyiv. Chernobyl here we come! [editline]25th August 2013[/editline] pretty sure I have the coolest girlfriend in the world, at least now the Zone will have at least one female stalker~~~

So I'm playing vanilla CoP and I'm considering upgrading a G36. Some of the upgrades have you choose between Flatness and Accuracy, what exactly is the difference between the two? I know that a high flatness means the bullet will travel further without curving. What does the normal accuracy actually improve?

Normal accuracy I believe is just reducing spread of the gun.

The mod merge for SOC [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKmvf_NiAqI](see)[/url] is probably just about the best thing ever. Never before would I have thought I would have been able to blast my way through Chernobyl as a lone bandit wearing a leather jacket using top of the line weapons against armies of Monolith. It is the true breeki experience.

[QUOTE=Beacon;41963294]if anyone has experience making shaders for stalker, plz hit me up[/QUOTE] I do, hit me up on Moddb and i'll see what I can do [QUOTE=TheKingofBees;41964196]i guess that would be the more phonetic way of spelling it.

Some time later I CTD'd and now when loading the save... stack trace: Time to start another.

There's no such thing as a "best" mod - you have to tell us what you want, and we'll tell you what mods (if any) have those things.[/QUOTE] I played and finished all vanilla stalker games long ago, so that's not a problem for me. I was kinda hoping improvement wise, like better A.I, animations etc.

[QUOTE=AppleJackson;41962644]I finally uninstalled TFW. It got too grind and boring and for some reason I'd never get friendly enough with any faction to join them, so I just gave up.[/QUOTE] Yeah, it does get to be a grind. You also start to miss just being a Loner who wanders around doing the odd job, enemy of no one except maybe Bandits or Monolith. I guess you could play as one in TFW, but the Zone's too busy for it to work well.

[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;41963194]You can join the Mercs without having to do anything.[/QUOTE] I like playing as Mercs a lot, but the UMP they start with has the worst ammo so early on. Where's a poor bastard like me going to get some .45 ACP's at some dirty bunker? Especially when there are enemies literally rolling through the level entrance as soon as you join up. Reminds me of those war flashbacks of joining the Mercs in Doom's Mod and those damn boars. Good god, they all die so fast in such a shitty spot.

holy shit wizardry again

Holy fucking fuck. That AN-94 animation reminds me of the gunslinger mod, albeit with less "flare" and "showoff-y-ness" I'm surprised that has an english page, most of the Russian stalker wizardry seems to stay with Russians. Also helmets [video=youtube;fvpGVMs71PA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvpGVMs71PA[/video]

I just realized that this wizardry would be orgasmic for immersion if combined with OR.

Playing through SGM 2.2 now. They sure do love random patches of radiation and little single anomalies. I'm currently trying to find a way to open the bandit safe, but haven't had any luck. Does anyone know what to do?

It's like a whole convoluted quest thing. Just remember to STAY ON THE LADDER when trying to get the explosives.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;41970509]It's like a whole convoluted quest thing. Just remember to STAY ON THE LADDER when trying to get the explosives.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I narrowly avoided getting trapped under the house when I found the remote explosives. It's cool that they added their own missions, but they make me worry that they've bugged out sometimes because they're so vague.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;41970529] Holy fucking shit[/QUOTE] I remember the first Crysis raised your gun when you went up to walls, I loved that, made me feel I was actually taking cover especially in conjunction with lean. I like that a hell of a lot better than stupid "PRESS X TO LEAN/PRESS Y TO ENTER" Cover systems. Speaking of which I want to be able to lean my head left and right to lean with the oculus rift. EDIT: Also glad on my second playthrough of SoC it still has the same wonderful foreboding charm it had when I first played it that sucked me in so much and it wasn't just a result of not knowing shit about stalker and first-time discovery - though I do wish I could have that again (Hoping for it with LA) I feel like Call of Pripyat is a hell of a lot less creepy wandering around during the daytime because the ambient songs are a lot more neutral sounding, while SoC's are like "Fuck you you're not safe even when nothing's around", though night luckily is still pretty heart pounding.

Loving this wizardry that has surfaced again. I find it similarly to digging for gold, except its not soil you are digging through its layers of Russian internet forums.

I know Millenia has it on his list to make a new model for it but I would really tent my pants if KingFriday animated it nicely.
